Olivia's POV I was up early in bed. My body was still aching but I was much better than I was a few days ago. My nights didn't get any better though. Since Alvida told me about my parents and Jonas' hand in their death, my nightmares were plagued with his face and blood everywhere.I would see my mother in a pool of blood and Jonas standing over her. The look of pride and satisfaction in his eyes was terrifying, and when he tried to clamour for me, I would scream and wake up.I couldn't count the number of times André had come to the rescue with hugs and soft words. He would ask me what had happened, and I would simply tell him that it was a nightmare.They scared me and continually fed my hate for Jonas. I would make him pay.I got out of bed and walked to the window. I threw the curtains open, and the sunlight seeped in and warmed my skin.Glorious.The door creaked open, and Alvida came in with the breakfast tray. Sephora, André, and Pierre followed. I was slightly startled to see
1Olivia's POV The moon was beautiful. The bright white ball hung low and cast its mystical glow on the ground below. It was so low that I almost felt that I could reach out and just touch it if I tried.I exhaled. I was supposed to go training this evening with Sephora. I was nervous. I had never done this before. I closed my eyes and felt my skin being bathed by the glow. In the silence of my mind, I could hear Nima howling, calling out for freedom. There she was. So she was listening when I called her name earlier. She just chose to ignore me. I frowned slightly.The door opened softly behind me, and I opened my eyes.“Olivia, it's time. Are you ready?" I turned around to see Sephora standing at the door in a shirt and shorts. She looked so casual, and she had a big smile on her face.I peered closer. A red mark on her neck? What had happened to her?“I'm ready." I slipped my shoes on and followed her out of the room. The moon's light cast eerie shadows in the hallway. If I di
Olivia's POV I was up a bit late the next morning. Alvida had made me train late into the evening for hours at a time. I had improved, but I burned out easily. Breakfast was ready by the time I had dragged myself from the bathroom and downstairs. Sephora was helping set the table. I looked at her neck again. She had a new mark on her neck. The last one had faded. I looked at her suspiciously. “Oh, sorry." Pierre bumped into her as he brought the steaming plate of bacon. He also had a matching one on his neck.My eyes were wide. The two of them…“Woah!" I was pulled in close and André stealthily stole a kiss from me. I was flushed as he pulled away. Alvida gave a small smile and went back into the kitchen.“Good morning, beautiful." He didn't even let me answer and kissed me again. He pulled me in deeper. The passion gushing from him was overwhelming. I could feel the way his hands circled me. He was fighting hard, keeping himself from ripping off my clothes and taking me right
Jonas’ POVWe left the dining room and walked back to my father's meeting room.Lily tried to support me as I walked, but I beat her off.“Don't you dare touch me!”We went to the meeting room, and I sat down on a sofa, grabbed the box of tissues on the table, and began dabbing the blood that flowed from my nose and lips.We were all silent for a while, and all we could do was cast stares at each other.The silence irritated me, and I grabbed another tissue from the box.“So? Isn't anyone going to say anything? We can't let Olivia leave this place with that bastard! She's mine. You all were there when her parents promised her to me. I must make sure that that promise is kept and fulfilled. Imagine the heiress of Solvan with our family. With her power, we can conquer the other packs, reunite them, and build the Empire of Solvan again. Our family would breed the new generation of the Descendants of Selene. It would be the greatest honour our family has ever received. My father and brot
André's POVAfter seeing what Olivia could do, Sephora and Gregory joined my team, leaving Pierre and Doran with no choice.For one, I was certain that they wouldn’t be expecting us yet. This was our best advantage.“You must stay by my side at all times,” I reminded Olivia as we alighted from the car.Her recovery was complete, and I knew she wasn’t helpless, but I couldn’t help but worry.She was my little princess, after all.“Alpha, the five teams have surrounded the entire place,” Gregory reported with a low bow.I nodded and then glanced at my watch.“I’m sure the camouflage members would have gotten to the underground by now; let’s head out, too.”I wrapped my arms around Olivia as the team of twelve behind us followed us while I led the way.The doors were kicked open, and a smug smile crossed my lips as I saw that most of the Reiss family were present in the room. Jonas stood up, his chair scraping loudly against the floor and took a step forward. “I've had enough of your
Olivia's POV “Men! Forward!" The loud shout filled the air, and there was a stampede.Men and wolves alike dashed around the Reiss' house. It was chaos, and André led the charge. He ran and transformed into his wolf. His green eyes glowed with anger and hate.I stood behind and watched. My wolf was on a high rock, watching the judgement that was befalling Jonas and his family.His men fell like livestock at the hands of André and his warriors. Sephora and Pierre fought together in a furious frenzy. Both were watching each other's back and left a blood trail behind them as they blazed through the weak front lines.I howled loudly, and the men responded with a howl. Our cries filled the air and made the enemy tremble. I looked at the mansion and saw Donovan looking out from the top window.Our eyes clashed, and he retreated. I snarled. He wasn't going to get away.I lunged forward and ran at full speed. Some men blocked my way.“Nima! We know what to do!" I surrendered myself to my i
Olivia's POV The battle was fierce. We got home, and Sephora, Pierre, and Alvida attended to the injured. I couldn't forget the gaze that Alvida gave André as soon as she pulled up with his men.He gave her a single nod, and relief washed over her face. She looked elated but tried her best not to show it.I went upstairs and collapsed on my bed. I was exhausted. My hair and skin were stained terribly with blood. Dirt and grime clung to me. I was sweaty. I was certain that I needed a shower.I got off the bed and headed into the bathroom. I ran a hot shower and stood under the spray. My body thanked me.The water washed off the dirt. Parts of my skin that had a few cuts stung a little. I raised my arm and saw a scratch. Right before my eyes, the skin closed up, and I was healed. I smiled. I was getting stronger.I washed myself thoroughly and soon got out of the bathroom. “André?" I had a towel wrapped around my chest, and I was stunned to see André sitting on my bed with a smile.
Jonas' POVI dragged my body weakly out of the forest that bordered my mansion. The smell of smoke invaded my lungs, and when I turned to look back, I saw thick fumes rising over the heads of the trees behind me.I gritted my teeth in anger. Those fools had burnt down my family house.I was lucky to still be alive and not followed by his men. I dragged my bad leg across the ground, and my blood made a trail as I inched closer to my destination.My eyes were deep red; I had watched my family cut down in front of me. My father, Lilian, Jaden, and probably Javier were all dead.Hailey was nowhere to be found. No one knew her whereabouts half the time. But frankly, none of us really cared about her. She was the weak link in the family, and deep down in my soul, she was the only one I truly hoped that burned.A house came into view, and I felt relief wash over me. It was an agonising pain, but in a few more steps, I would be there.I mustered the energy and dragged my weak body closer and
