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
Olivia's POV I woke up in bed. My eyes hurt, and so did my head. I was covered in bruises that were healing slowly.The light from the sun on a new day bathed my face. I wasn't sure how long I had been out. But I was certain that I had been asleep for longer than a day.I took a deep breath.It was over. I still couldn't believe it. We had won, but at what cost? I sniffed the air. I wasn't the only injured person. I could still smell the blood of our other injured comrades, and their groans made it to my ears.Every time I blinked, I could see the carnage that was on the battlefield. The dead bodies and wolves. The blood of our unique race had been wasted.Jonas.I don't remember how he died, but when I woke up, I saw him unconscious at Doran's feet. It still baffled me. It was a shock that he had been the mastermind behind all of this.He…he was a Lycan. I never thought he was. I never saw it in him. I hadn't heard about them before but I was certain that they were a powerful spec
Olivia's POV We spent a little longer in Elvis Pine. André was helping Hailey with the reconstruction efforts.It was beautiful watching Elvis Pine grow into something beautiful.Hailey asked for my permission to change the House of Reiss’ insignia to the Solvan Empire insignia.She did it as a tribute to my mother and me, and I gave my approval and blessings.It felt like pieces of my people were coming back to life again.She rebuilt her family home and initiated a rebuilding project of my parents’ old house.“I remember it quite well. I think the blueprint is still in the pack archives. I want to rebuild it the same way it was all those years ago. My family took yours, and I want to give a piece of it back.”Those were her words, and they brought tears to my eyes.During the time we spent in Elvis Pine, André went to the Lycan Empire and spoke to Doran's people. He wanted to prevent another war with them because of Doran's death.He had been gone for a few days, during which time
Olivia's POV "This isn't going to be too tight around my stomach, is it? I want the baby to be comfortable.”The maids shook their heads and continued to fuss over the dress.“You look beautiful, Luna Olivia. I am sure the Alpha is going to love it.”I was nervous as they put the finishing touches on the dress.“All done.”They stepped away, and I twirled in the mirror. The dress was beautiful, embroidered with intricate silk moon designs that were trimmed in gold.“The Alpha also asked me to give this to you as a gift.”One of the maids stepped forward with a beautiful velvet box in her hands.I took it from her, and my hands trembled slightly.I opened the box, and inside it was a beautiful gold necklace with a jeweled pendant. The maids all squealed in delight, and one of them offered to fasten it around my neck.I touched it gently as the maid fastened it, and I could feel my heart swelling with love for André. It wasn't difficult to tell that the necklace was very expensive.“L
