Olivia's POV I sat in my living room, rocking back and forth on my father's old chair. I could still smell his scent on the old leather, bringing tears to my eyes. In my arms, I cradled the porcelain jar that held my dad’s ashes. It still felt like a dream. I pinched myself multiple times to wake myself up from this nightmare, but I only ended up with bruises on my arms each time my fingernails sank into my skin, drawing blood. This was no dream. Dad was dead.It was almost unbelievable, but it was true. I glanced over at the table, and on it was the letter the Luna of my pack had delivered to me during Dad's funeral. I picked it up and read through it for the tenth time. Regardless of how many times I read it, I still couldn't believe she was coming here after everything that she did, after all this time. That was impossible. Yet, my suitcase was packed beside me because Luna Mia had also been quite clear on her stance. Since Dad was gone, I had to leave. I was leaving my pack
OLIVIA"How long is this ride?" I asked, turning back to the window. It felt like we had been driving for hours. The scenery was lovely. There were lots of flowers and beautiful trees, and the grass was lush green. Soon, we pulled up in front of a large mansion, and its grandeur took my breath away. "I forgot to mention that your stepfather is the Alpha of this pack. He owns this place," my mom said, brimming with pride, and I resisted an eye roll. Before I could say anything else, the driver opened the door, and she stepped out. However, I remained in the car, boiling with anger as my shock vanished into thin air. This explained everything. She was such a gold-digger! She had abandoned Dad and me all these years to marry some old, rich Alpha. My stomach churned in disgust at my mother. Suddenly, the door opened, and the driver stood beside it."Miss Olivia, do you need help with your bags?" "No," I said, coarsely. "I can sort myself out."I got out of the car, hoisted my suitca
Olivia's POV “Who is this?” His deep, sonorous voice resonated throughout the room, and my body tingled to the sound. I felt his green eyes wash over me in one swoop, and I instantly felt giddy while butterflies began to flap in my stomach. Without trying to be discreet, I checked him out properly. His hair was dark, and his muscular torso strained against his tight shirt, outlining his abs and pecs.I felt myself drooling with desire. I couldn't explain what I felt, but a part of me was yearning for him.His face was dashingly handsome, and my eyes trailed down to his sharp and chiseled jaw. I gawked at his soft lips and began to imagine how it would feel to kiss them…Shocked at my thoughts, I shook my head to push those unholy thoughts away. But the moment my eyes met his one more time, I was stuck. There was no way that he was my stepdad. Alpha André raised his eyebrow; he looked pretty intrigued, and I felt the lump in my throat disappear. "My name is Olivia. I'm Nicole
André’s POVI smelled her even before the door opened, and my hands clenched around the chair’s handle as Olivia entered my private quarters.Her body was tense, and she looked around curiously before her gaze settled on me. As though unnerved, she looked away immediately.How did the moon goddess create such perfection? To reward my waiting? I had spent more than twenty years waiting for my fated mate. For the one, the one that was made for me. Yet, there had been nothing. Eventually, I had settled for an arrangement for the pack's sake.But she was here now. And she was the best fucking thing I have laid my eyes on.“Where’s Nicole?” She squeaked, her voice barely audible. I would have missed it if all of my senses weren’t focused on her. I wanted to know everything. I needed to take in her smile, her beautiful blue eyes that shone like the sea. Fuck, I could already imagine running my hands through those large blond curls that fell over her shoulders. It took me some seconds to
Olivia's POVI ate in silence and stole glances at him. Sometimes, our eyes would meet and lock, and I'd turn away silently, though not without getting a lovely glance at his lips. I wanted to kiss them so badly.The way his lips moved as he chewed filled me with thoughts. I could only imagine how it would feel to have those lips kiss me and travel down, down… down.Fuck!I took one hand off the table and placed it on my lap, gripping my dress tightly. I squeezed my legs and felt something wet on my thigh."Keep it together, Olivia." I stopped eating for a brief moment, and I caught him licking the back of his spoon. I gasped as the sensations between my legs spiked. What was he doing to me? "I'm done."I put my spoon down and turned my head away, trying to hide my blush. The food was delicious but I couldn't eat anymore, not like this. I could feel my juices dripping down my legs. I had to excuse myself from the table. “Are you uncomfortable?” he asked, slowly putting down his spoo
Olivia's POV“Would you come for me, like that, again?”I was mortified as I watched him stare at me with a smug look as he stood at the door. My cheeks filled with colour. I felt my body lock together as shame began to drown me.André came in and closed the door behind him. I saw the smile on his face as he walked closer to me. I immediately sat up; my legs were trembling with fear and embarrassment as I watched him slowly slice the gap between us. “Why did you stop? Please don’t stop on my account. I would love to see you scream my name again. It was a pleasure watching you.” His voice was smooth and seductive. He was getting closer, but my body still couldn’t move.Come on, legs! Move! Run! Do something!However, my legs were numb. I could feel my breath getting hot and erratic. Despite the wide open windows, the room was suddenly steaming hot.I was finally able to stand, but it was too late. He was already in front of me. The smirk on his face made my stomach swarm with butter
Olivia's POVI kept on running without trying to check where I was going and finally, I sighed as I took a deep breath, however, just before I could relax, I heard footsteps behind me. “Olivia! Are you okay?!” To think he had the guts to chase after me. Jerk. “Stop! Stay away from me!”However, all my pleas fell on deaf ears. What was he doing? Couldn’t he tell that I didn’t want to be around him? I backed away from him, but he kept coming closer.“Don’t touch me! Just go away!”Almost like he couldn’t hear me, André just kept coming closer.“Olivia, can you stop? Let’s go inside.” “Just leave me alone!”He sighed and made a lunge towards me, but I evaded him, and I felt something cold and hard behind me.“What..?” I turned and groaned in frustration. It was a rock! It was a dead end; I had nowhere to go.I looked forward, and soon, he was right in front of me. He put his arms around my waist and pulled me into his embrace. My body shuddered at his touch. What was wrong with him?
Olivia's POV “Oww! My head! What the…”I woke up with a start. Whoever was behind the door pushed it even more, and light streamed in and blinded me. In a rush to stand up, I let go of my father’s ash jar, and it began to roll away. I got away from the door, and it opened fully, and there stood my mother, glaring down at me. I scrambled to my feet and went over to get my father’s ash jar before it rolled under the bed.“What is your problem?” I said, almost yelling at my mum.However, she didn’t answer me immediately, and I watched as her eyes surveyed my room in jealousy and disgust.“I can’t believe you slept on the floor when you have such a comfortable bed and luxurious room.”She walked in and toured my room with a look of evident jealousy. She touched the silk curtains and tested the soft bed.“You really don’t know what is good for you, Olivia. But then again, it is expected, considering the dump I pulled you out from.”I rolled my eyes and put my father’s ash jar back on the
Andre’s POVMy gaze fixed on Jonas and his sister. It was already a unanimous agreement in the minds of everyone to give Hailey a pardon. She was the youngest in the family and didn’t really have much of a say in the family's affairs. She had set herself apart, however, by putting her life on the line and helping Olivia and I.Her judgement was already decided but Jonas…We had no idea what to do with him. He worked so closely with Doran but at the last second, Doran turned on him. He too was a pawn in his little game and Doran was ready to dispose of him at the last second when he realized that he no longer needed him.“My mate shall decide your fate.”Olivia looked at me in shock and I nodded to her. I trusted her judgement. Left to me, Jonas would have had his head hanging on a pike and the birds would be eating out his eyes.Olivia stood up and the room was quiet as we all listened to what she had to say.“Hailey, by virtue of association, you share part in your family’s crimes. B
André’s POVI was seated at the round table in our home in Elvis Pine along with Pierre, Sephora, Alvida and a few more of my top ranking officials.Olivia was seated by my side and I looked at her with worry. Alvida told me that she needed to rest but she insisted on being present. I smiled and shook my head slowly. This kitten of mine never listened to a word I said.“Bring them in!”The guards left the room and appeared a few minutes later with Jonas and Lady Vadala, being led in chains and Hailey following them behind.I scoffed as soon as I saw Vadala. She was the queen that led an entire pack of warriors and she was so easily captured by Pierre and Sephora on their last recon mission.Her hair was a mess and the colour had been drained from her face. She could barely move her limbs and dragged her feet on the floor as she walked.I had Alvida make an elixir that would weaken her and make her vulnerable and it seemed that it was working perfectly.Jonas, on the other hand, was a
Olivia’s POVI woke up and gave a big stretch and a smile crossed my face. Another lavish night with André. I rolled over to his side of the bed but it was empty. My smile quickly turned to a frown and I was about to grumble when I remembered that he said that he was going to leave early for a meeting. I scowled. I missed my morning with him. It was amazing to have my head on his chest and his scent in my nose. I sat up and looked out of the window. The sun was up over the horizon. The birds were chirping outside and the breeze was fresh and carried with it the sound of the men chattering loudly over the hill in the encampment. André was probably there with the men. Everyone was on edge and high alert about Doran.I dragged myself out of bed. Maybe I would go and see him there. Maybe there was some news about Doran yet…Knock! Knock!I jerked in fright as I heard the sound of knocking at the door. André never knocked and I didn't ask for a maid to come to the room.The sound came ag
André’s POV“What is the report Pierre?”Pierre and Sephora stood in front of me. Olivia was at the breakfast table and as much as I had been against it, she insisted on listening to the report with me.“We did a sweep of the battlefield. We didn’t find any survivors.”“And the ones we have in our custody?”“They are all healed up, thanks to Alvida and should be ready for questioning soon.”I gave a nod. I refrained from asking about Jonas. I don't want to ruin Olivia’s mood. We had a wonderful night last night.“Alright. That will be all.”They left and I was left alone with Olivia. Our breakfast was brought to us and the smell of fresh pancakes and warm syrup filled the air. It had been a while since I had a properly prepared meal. I had been buying food for myself and the men.I picked up my fork and knife but couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of my kitten already digging in and stuffing her face.“You know, you should slow down a little. I wouldn’t want you to choke.”She lo
Pierre’s POVI kissed her again. My tongue was softer, more passionate. Her groans filled my ears as I pulled her in closer and ran my hands over her. She felt so soft, so inviting. She was mine. All mine.My hands slipped beneath her shirt and I felt her soft, round breasts. She moaned and threw her head back and I squeezed and tugged at each nipple. It lengthed and hardened in my grasp and her moans grew louder.“Pierre…”I pulled her shirt off and tossed it to the ground. She looked even more radiant in the moonlight. The moon’s glow on her skin made her look almost godly. Her beautiful brown hair hung all the way down to her breasts and covered each one in the most seductive way.“You are so beautiful, Seph.”She drew close to me and made quick work of my shirt in an arduous frenzy. In a few seconds, my torso was bare and I was looking down on her as she ran her hands over my muscular torso.“I never thought that I would ever find my mate, Pierre. You have loved me in ways that I
Pierre’s POVThe men in the squad surrounded me and I inspected them. We were all set for the mission. We were going to move…“Sorry I'm late, Sir!" Sephora ran in and stood among the ranks. She gave me a salute and her face was stiff and emotionless. I sighed. I told her that she wasn't coming along with us.I love the way her hair looked. The tight bun had disappeared and her hair was tied behind her in a long and simple ponytail.I peeled myself out of my admiration and strutted up to her. We made it a rule to keep our relationship aside when we were on duty.“Miss Sephora, what are you doing here?" I said loudly, bellowing, my voice rippling all around.“I am here for the recon mission, Sir. I enlisted, Sir." Her voice was loud and firm. She was so attractive even though she was in her soldier mode.“I thought I told you to sit this one out. You dare disobey an order?”"I don't see a reason why I can't go, Sir. So I will join the squad.”"Miss Sephora…" “I'll only leave if you
Her words made colour flow to my face. How was I going to answer that question truthfully? Hailey giggled and I blushed even more.“You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, Olivoa, but judging by your face, you had a pretty amazing night.”She threw me a wink and I nudged her playfully and we both broke into loud fits of laughter.“And what are you two up to?”Hailey and I stopped our little laugh and raised our heads. Sephora was standing in front of us. Her smile was wide and her hair had been left hanging down to her breasts instead of being in a tight bun. I looked at her in awe. She looked beautiful.“Morning Sephora,” I said cheerfully and patted the spot next to me for her to sit down on.“No. I wouldn’t want to disturb you two…”“You aren't bothering us. I was about to come and check on you next.”Sephora beamed at me and took her seat. hailey gave me a sly look and I shook my head. Her eyes were wide and curious. I knew what she wanted to say, but it was too late to st
Olivia’s POVIt was morning. I was woken up by André’s stirring. He pulled me closer and my nostrils breathed in more of his godly scent. His hair was messy and all over his face. He looked perfect. He was all mine.I stretched out a hand to move his hair out of the way and his eyes fluttered open, fixed on me and soon, he broke into a handsome smile. My face turned red as we stared at each other.“Good morning, Kitten.”“I’m sorry, I woke you,” I said shyly.He groaned and pulled me closer to him and before I knew it, he was on top of me, pinning me to the bed, his eyes gazing at me and shining like jewels as the morning sun fell on his face.“You didn’t wake me.”His lips swooped on mine and he stole a deep kiss. I moaned against his sweet mouth but it was short lived and I scowled in frustration. He laughed and pinched my cheeks.“Do you know how cute you look when you are mad.”“You won’t be laughing when I get serious,” I said with a huff, turning away from him and feigning annoy
Doran’s POVI didn't think that I would be home so soon. I sat in the back seat of my car, silently watching the road as we approached the silver gates of the Empire.I wish I could say that it was good to be home.I scoffed as one of the patrol officers walked up to the car."Who are you and what is your business here?" Ryan said nothing and simply pointed to the back seat.The guard walked over and as soon as he saw my face, he stepped back and gave me a deep bow."Pr... Prince Doran. I...I didn't know it was you." I scowled at the fool. He was lucky that I had other things on my mind.I waved the guard away and he ran to meet his colleagues.I saw him whisper something to them and immediately, the gates were opened. It was nice to see that the servants still knew their place and had not lost their respect. I sighed. I wished I could say the same about my family. As we drove into the streets, I looked around. The magnificent tall building and lush scenery always took me away.
