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
Olivia's POV “That's it! Be more in tune! Take in your surroundings!" Sephora was on the ground and was watching me dart past the trees on full sprint. The wind was whipping through my fur. My nose and senses were sharper than ever.My eyes darted around the forest. I was able to evade obstacles in the forest in my wolf form.The bond between Nima and me grew stronger every day. She was still sassy and sharp-tongued, but she had toned it down a bit.“One more lap, and then we can call it a day!" Sephora called out to me.I braced myself and ran as fast as I could. My paws gripped the soil and dug deep as I sprinted.The wind felt fresher than before. I felt free and strong. I had felt like I could…Crack!I tried my best to stop before the tree fell in my path. I wasn't fast enough, and I tripped. I was sent flying into the air. I lost focus and shifted back into my human form while I was in mid-air. My eyes were wide open in fear. I was going to fall to the ground. My baby…I felt
Jonas' POV “Jonas, stop! Jonas, listen to me! Stop and listen!" I whipped back around furiously, and my sister, Hailey, gasped in fearful shock.My golden eyes dug deep into hers, and she backed away slowly. Her face was pale with fright, and her breathing was frantic.I gritted my teeth. The master had found her hiding out in one of the inns in the pack. He brought her back here and said that I would be happy to have a member of my family here with me. But he was dead wrong.“Stay away from me, Hailey. You are a disgrace to our family.”"Jonas, you can't do this," she retorted with tears in her eyes. “We can't do this. Our family is gone. We can't anger André and Olivia anymore!" I snarled, and she jumped in fright. Her eyes were moist with tears, and her whole body trembled as she regarded me fearfully."I always knew that you were weak. That is why, when they attacked, you ran away. You allowed our family to die by their hand, and you couldn't do anything about it. You would hav
Olivia's POV “Hiyaa!" I jabbed André, and he deflected it easily. He laughed at my efforts to land a single blow on him.“Can you stay still?!" I giggled. How am I going to hit you if you keep moving around like an eel?" I made another jab, and he evaded, and I struck the air. He laughed again.“How are ‘you’ going to learn if I stay still?" We continued to go around in circles. Alvida had told André about my progress, and André had promised that I would do hand-to-hand combat training with him.He said it would build my stamina and speed. It also made me realise how slow I was in my human form. Carrying this baby was really taking a toll on me.I made another strike but he intercepted it. I grinned. This was my chance. I had lured him in. I could get him with a kick.I made a move, but just as I was about to touch him, I pulled back. The kick was no lighter than a tap.We both paused in the moment, and he looked at my leg. I had touched him; I had caught him. What was he staring
