Olivia's POV I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. I was scared for his life. I didn't want him to die in the war. I wanted him back. If there was a way to stop him, I would jump at the idea.“Olivia, talk to me. What's wrong?" I took a deep breath, and he wiped the tears from my eyes.“Did I hurt you? Did you not enjoy me?" I shook my head and sniffed. He was perfect. I loved every second o spent with him."I'm scared.”He looked at me with his eyebrow raised."Scared? Why are you scared?”He pulled me in closer and wrapped his arm around me.“I'm scared of the war. I don't want to lose you." He stroked my face, and his eyes looked sad.“I'm scared too. I want to come back to you. I want to have you in my arms and see our child grow big and strong.–” He rubbed my stomach and kissed my face.“–You have no idea how much our growing family means to me. I want to give you the world, Olivia, but I can't do that if I'm worried about your safety.”I held him tighter, cupped his fac
Jonas' POV“Damn it!" I grabbed the paper map that lay in the middle of the table and ripped it to pieces.Lady Vadala and Lord Rios looked at me in disgust, but I couldn't care less.“How the fuck do you two not have an updated map of Elvis Pine?!”"And do you have a map?” Lady Vadala asked, looked at her fingernails."You know I don't! My house got burned down!”"Then I suggest that you stop yapping and act civil,” she said with a cold and stern warning in her voice. "Lord Rios and I are being dragged into your little revenge plot because you stirred up trouble for us all. We are doing the best that we can. Your pathetic ass should be grateful.” As beautiful as Lady Vadala was, I hated her guts. I was fuming in anger but couldn't do anything to her. I had to keep them at my side. We needed them to win this fight.“Frankly, I only agreed to your mad plan because of your alliance with the Master. When do we get to meet him?" Her eyes shone as she spoke of him. Nothing made her more
André's POV I was in a spare room in the house. Doran had left, and I was alone with the allies I had gathered.“It means a lot to me that all of you are here and that you have decided to help with this battle.”The Beta of thirteen packs I had allied with sat around the table and nodded as I spoke.In front of us was a map of Elvis Pine and across were big X’s marking important landmarks and houses.There was a large X over the site where Jonas' house used to be and two more over the houses of the other Royal families. "We have pulled down the house of Reiss, but I fear that his men have scattered and joined forces with the other Royal families.”I tapped on the other two X’s, and the thirteen generals leaned forward."I did some digging, and we have realized that the house of Vadala has the biggest stronghold of the three Royal families. Her army is large because she makes it compulsory for all her wolves to go for training once they are of age.”"So what you are saying,” one of
Olivia's POV I could hear the howling of wolves, sending shivers down my spine. I had been transferred to a different place in the Raiden Pack. André had formed an alliance with them, and they had also joined in the fight. I couldn't see what was happening, but the cries, screams, and howls were excruciating.Each time, I would wonder if one of them belonged to André.Alvida had been moved with me and she had been at my side all day. She watched me like a hawk and did her best to assure me that everything was going to be alright.I didn't trust what she said.“I need some water," I said weakly.She nodded and left the room. This was my chance. It was a crusty plan, but it was all I could think of.As soon as the door clicked shut, I got out of bed and jumped out of the window.It wasn't a long fall but I timed it just right and shifted into my wolf at the last second and landed firmly on my paws.I didn't waste a second and sprinted to the battlefield. I could hear Alvida calling o
Olivia's POV "André...""Olivia, what are you doing here? You need to hide. I told the nurse to hide you.”André was dressed and ready. He knew leaving our room would make him an instant target. “Andre, I can't let you go alone. I want to come along. I want to help you. Please let me…”He pulled me in and kissed me deeply. As his lips pressed against mine, tears streamed down my face.“Olivia, I can't explain how much I love you, and I would kill myself if anything happened to you. I want you to be safe, for me and our child. I need you to hide.“but André…”“I promise I'll come back to you.”The nurse walked up to me, took my arm, and André disentangled himself from my embrace.He walked away and didn't look back while the nurse dragged me into our room.“Miss Olivia, we have to go. We must hurry to the secret bunker Miss Hailey told us about. You can't be here.”“But Andre…”“Your beloved will be fine. We must hurry. Miss Hailey is waiting for us.”I was reluctant, but I allowed t
André's POV The battle was bloody and ferocious.That snake, Jonas, had my pack surrounded long before I got to the battlefield. I have tried to reason with him, but he was hell-bent on choosing violence and throwing the life of his men away all because of a woman that he would never have.The war broke out and there was bloodshed everywhere. A wolf charged at me and in mere seconds, I shifted into my black wolf and smacked him hard with my paw. He yelped in pain, and I grabbed him in my jaws and flung him across the grass, spilling his blood into the soil. I searched among the fighting wolves for that snake, but I couldn't find him anywhere. His men were focused on killing me, and they swarmed me like bees, but I defeated them in seconds. I felt a pair of claws sinking into my right flank, and I howled in pain. Ragnar became enraged, and in a split second, I faced my assailant and growled mercilessly at him.I clawed his face and gouged out his eye.The socket was left empty, an
André's POV It happened so fast. The sound of polished metal cutting through flesh. Blood sprayed all over Doran. It was over quickly.Jonas was dead His head was in Doran's hand, and his body remained kneeling for a while before it fell to the ground with a thud like a felled tree.I was in shock. His head still has its eyes open,bl staring into my soul from the pits of hell and mirroring complete fear.“Doran?" Doran cast the head aside and wiped his blade on Jonas' clothes.“Well, I think we are done here. We have won, André. We won the war." He tried to step towards me, but I stepped back.I turned my head. “Olivia?!”She was unconscious at the foot of a broken tree. I dashed to her side and stood beside her. My fingers grazed her cheek. She was still breathing. Her face was still warm and full of color. I was relieved. She was going to be okay."Olivia?”I called her name but she didn't stir. I feared the worst. I called her name louder and shook her a little harder.She sti
André's POV I watched in shock and awe as Doran spilled his guts.“I am the Heir of the Lycian Empire of the Sacred Moon. I was cast out and denied my birthright because of my wolf. I looked nothing like a Lycan. I looked like a regular wolf shifter. I was mocked and scorned…”I was stunned. Doran was a Lycan. A Lycan Prince?"...I was adopted and raised in André's pack. They knew of my heritage and made sure that I never forgot my roots. I befriended André, and by growing up together, I became his Beta. After my adoptive parents passed away, I realized that it was time I took my place as Prince of the Empire…”“…I thought that I would start small. I felt that once André was too tired to rule since he was without an heir, he would pass the Pack leadership over to me. But then, Olivia came into the picture.”I saw him grit his teeth in anger. Even under control, he was still in control of his emotions.“I hoped that I would be able to get rid of her. I sent her those notes but André f
