Olivia's POVIt felt like an eternity, but the bus finally arrived, and I got in and relaxed on a chair at the back. I was nervous, but I was glad that no one recognised me. This was just what I needed. The bus drove away, and I watched the pack I was growing to call home move further and further away. I sighed. No more Jacob, no more Nicole and no more Jaxon.My heart plummeted. There was no more André either. I was alone, and I wasn't sure if I would see him again. I pulled myself out of my own thoughts and focused on the tranquillity.The silence rocked me to sleep gently, and as much as I tried to resist its endearing embrace, the more it beckoned on me.My grip on my bag weakened, and I felt it fall lightly to the floor with a soft thud. Soon, slumber enveloped me, and I drifted off to sleep.**************************"This is the last stop! Everyone needs to get off!" The driver's voice filled the bus, and a kind old lady tapped my leg gently to wake me up."Wake up, dear. We
André's POVPierre sat down beside me, and we began to make calls to inquire about Olivia's last whereabouts.I made a few calls, and soon, I saw the expression on Pierre’s face change."What is it? Have you got a lead?"Pierre set his phone down and nodded."Yes. It seems that when I left, she didn't go to school and went to a café across the street." I wanted to relax a bit, but I couldn't until we had found her and were sure that she was safe."Alright. Call the café and check if she is still there. I'll give you five minutes to do that.”He gulped a little and called the café for feedback while I called the head maid at home to know if Olivia was back yet.I called Doran and gave him extensive instructions."I need the pack borders closed…”"What is the problem?" Asked Dorian. "You sound frantic.""Olivia is missing."Doran was silent. I could tell that he was searching for what to say."I'll get it done immediately."My kitten had run away.I tried to push the thought away as my
Olivia’s POVEvening came quickly, and I got dressed and hurried to the café. It was a few minutes to 7:00 pm, and so many people were already waiting to get drinks in the café.It wasn't a particularly fancy café, but the roof was a beautiful skylight, and it let in the full moon's elegant glow, making everything look magical.I continued taking orders and refilling drinks as the evening crept on and the moon rose higher into the sky. I was working the latest shift, and it didn't take long before my coworkers went out for the evening.Time flew even faster, and I was about to close up for the evening.Just as I pulled one of the doors, three men strode in, and my heart raced at the fierce look in their eyes.“I'm sorry, but we are closed for the night,” I said, trying to be as polite as possible. Instead of replying, the men smiled and pushed the door open while forcing themselves inside. “How about you stay a little longer for a nice little chat?..”Looking at them in shock, I fel
Olivia's POV “What are you still standing there for? Don't you know that we need to get out of here immediately?”I looked at him sceptically. I still didn't trust him. There was no way he expected me to follow him.“Look, I can tell that you don't trust me, and that's perfectly fine. But didn't you notice how most of the men at the café were looking at you? Don't you think that's a little strange?”I looked at him in shock.“How did you know that they were looking at me?”He took a deep breath and looked around nervously as he tried to explain quickly.“I was in the café, and I saw everything that happened. It's a full moon, and it is dangerous for you to be walking around with your pheromones running wild.”I looked at him in confusion. Pheromones? What was he talking about? Did whatever he just said mean that I couldn't walk around on full moon nights anymore? I was nervous and scared, but the last thing I wanted was for what had happened with those men to recur. “My car is just
André’s POVI was in a meeting with Pierre and Doran inside my study."I need to go for a few days and find Olivia. I’m worried that something will happen to her, and I won't forgive myself if my hunch is right and I didn't do anything about it. I am leaving the both of you in charge of pack matters until I get back."Doran and Pierre nodded, but I could still see the scepticism in Doran's eyes. He was still maintaining that I should allow Olivia to come home by herself, but there was no way I was going to allow that.He knew, better than anyone, how long I had waited for Olivia. I wasn't just going to let her slip through my fingers when I got her and finally felt happy.Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Pierre stood up to open it, and Nicole walked inside. She looked around the room, and I saw an expression of disappointment creep on her face.“Seems like an important meeting is going on here, and I wasn't invited to it."I ignored her and glared at her."What do you want, Nic
Olivia's POV I woke up early in the morning to the smell of food.“You look pretty in my sister's clothes. I dare say that they suit you more than they suit her.”I brushed his comment away with a smile, and we headed out and walked to the hospital. I felt a little safer this time as no one was staring at me with eyes full of lustful desires. For the first time since last night, I felt comfortable in my skin.We soon arrived at the hospital, and it seemed that Dr. Sean had been waiting for us all morning.“Olivia, Jonas, good morning. I have been expecting both of you. Please come in.”He ushered us into his office, and we took our seats, and he sat on his, that was, on the other side of the desk.“I have decided to increase the dosage and make a larger batch just for you. You will need to apply it for two weeks, thrice a day. We need to be sure that your pheromones are only active on full moon nights, and we also need to be sure that there are no triggers, and if there are any, you h
André's POV I had just finished a council meeting and had barely paid attention to what was being said. Olivia had been missing for a whole day. I had not heard a word from her, not even a text.As much as I wanted to wait, I couldn’t let any harm come to my princess. I needed to find her and have her close to me.I exhaled deeply as I walked to my office. My mind was made up; I was going to find her, and nothing was going to stop me.I pulled out a packed bag beside my desk and immediately headed downstairs to meet Pierre, who was waiting for me."Pierre, I need you to contact our men in the human cities. I need them to send me every surveillance image from the bus stop to every stop made by the bus Olivia took."Pierre looked horrified, took the bag from me, and placed it in the trunk with trembling hands.“I don't think that they will be able to get you that information so soon. There are lots of protocols that they will need to take…”"I really don't care, Pierre. Tell them I will
Olivia’s POVWhile it was the last thing I thought possible, I had come to accept that Jonas was the angel father sent to keep me safe. Instead of waiting, we agreed to start the trip today, and while I was a nervous wreck, he was excited and took this as a field trip. I dragged my bag out of the house and saw Jonas leaning against a car. He had his back to me and spoke in deep, hushed tones."... called at a bad time. Yes, yes, yes. I have her and..."He turned to me, and in that instant, as our gazes met each other, my blood ran cold. Questions, doused in fear, filled my mind.What was going on? Was he talking about me? Was this why he had been so kind to me? In a split second, he pulled out another phone, casually dialled a number, and put the speaker to his ear. He gave me a sweet smile and answered the call. "Maryanne, hey. I just spoke to Rick, and you two should talk things out. I've tried my best. He really isn't a bad person, and I think you should give him a chance."The
Hannah's POV Epilogue. I sat outside at the picnic table with the gentle wind whipping through my hair. It felt wonderful.Autumn was drawing close, and the leaves on the trees were already turning a beautiful orange.I heard the giggles of children playing. I smiled warmly.My children.Jasper ran around, and his little sister chased after him. Their delightful giggles filled the air and brought smiles to my face.“Jasper, be careful. Your sister might not be able to keep you with you." He slowed down a little bit and his sister caught up with him. He embraced her and she smiled and played with his hair.“Hello, beautiful." I felt two big, strong arms wrap around me, and I was enveloped with warmth and love.I raised my head, and a kiss was gently planted on my lips.André lowered himself beside me, and we watched our beautiful children prance around the garden.“It's getting a bit chilly. You should come inside." André ran his hand seductively over mine. I bit my lower lip and
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.“Lu
Olivia’s POVDear André,If you are getting this, I am probably in jail or maybe on the brink of death. I got my idiot step-brother to write this. God, I hate the bastard.I don't know how long before they decide that it's time to end my life but I've been doing a lot thinking and I regret what I did.As I sit here in this cell, all I can think about are the good times we had. The laughs, the jokes. I can't believe I threw that all away because I wanted a throne that would never be given to me.I sit here and all I can think about is Amelia. Her beautiful face, her soft breasts, her sweet kisses. What I wouldn't give to be with her at this moment. It is now I realize that she is everything I needed.It is crazy how the stench of death makes one ponder about his life and truly appreciate the things we have. Tell her that I love her, that I have always loved her. I wanted the best for her but now, I will never taste her lips again.Apologize to Olivia for me. I planned to take her as a
Olivia's POVThe mansion was a hive of activity. I stood at the door and watched André. He had barely gotten a good night's sleep. My fever had happened a few times but it felt selfish to ask him to have sex with me."You know that you don't need to hide at the door."I saw Sephora standing behind me and I blushed."I just don't want to bother him.""I'm positive that he would love to see you." I turned around and saw André looking at me with a smile. My light shade of pink turned a deep scarlet and Sephora gave me a gentle nudge.André had put down his phone and the worry lines on his forehead disappeared."Well, are you going to keep standing at the door peeping at me? I heard it is rude to stare." I turned around. Sephora had gone and I was all alone.I walked into the room and André grabbed me and pulled me into a tight embrace.His lips warmed my cheek and forehead and I sank deeper into his embrace."I missed you, mate.–" He nuzzled his nose into my hair and took a deep brea
Doran's POVI wasn't sure how long I was in the cell. The night here seemed to last forever. The sun rose but its light never made it to the window that was miserably placed in my cell. The rats scurried around me and nibbled at my toes and clothes. My stomach growled monstrously and my hair and face were a mess. I was more than a shadow of my old self. I spent many nights thinking, brooding, about the good times I had with André. Amelia... She was probably ashamed and angry at me. I craved her embrace, her fingers on my back. At this point, it was the equivalent of heaven. It was where I wanted to be. The door creaked open and four men walked into the cell. What were they doing here? My brother had already come in here last night. Or was it this morning?"Doran, today is the day of your trial. Please come with us." My eyes widened. It... It couldn't be. It... It was too early. It wasn't time. "No. No. No! It can't be!" They opened my cell and seized the opportunity. However,
Doran's POVI scoffed. I had spent more nights than necessary in this lousy place. I turned the corner and some maids scurried past me with their heads held low. I shook my head. I couldn't wait to get the fuck out of here. André, I am coming for you. My knuckles cracked as I clenched them, hate and rage bubbling in my mind. The men were supposed to move out today. André wouldn't know what hit him and soon, Olivia would be mine and my brothers wouldn't dare to look at me with such disrespect ever again. I reached my father's study and found the door ajar. Strange; he never left the door open. A dim light was pouring out from inside. Maybe he was inside but then again, there were no guards at the door. I pushed it open and went inside. My father's chair was turned around and I could see a dark silhouette of him sitting as he faced the dimly lit fireplace. "Good morning, Father. Are the men ready for the move? I believe that time is of the essence." My words were met with silen
Olivia's POV The meeting was soon over and Fentris was the first to leave. I smirked. I had trained hard with Alvida to be able to release my powers in small amounts. The last two days had been rigorous.We all left the meeting last and entered a private room. André asked two guards to stand at the door and we all stood around the table."That was a successful meeting," Sephora said with a sigh.André exhaled deeply. His arms were folded across his chest."It is too early to conclude. I saw Fentris and how uncomfortable he was. Our victory will start if he buys it and relays the information to his boss." I tried my best to hold back my smirk but soon all heads were turned to me, except Alvida and Sephora who acted coolly."Is there a problem, Olivia?" Pierre asked, looking concerned."Oh. Nothing. I just thought to tell you all that Fentris swallowed everything that we said, hook, line and sinker." André looked at me in shock."Olivia? What did you do?" I looked at him innocently
André’s POVI stood in the mirror and looked at myself over. I couldn't believe I was going to face those old bastards again. I envisioned Fentris' face and the urge to strangle him flared inside of me. "I love seeing you in a tie." Olivia strode up to me and fiddled with my tie, adjusting it and placing it in the center, even though I knew she didn't need to. I smiled and kissed her forehead. My hand ran over her stomach and our baby kicked back in response. She was all dressed for the meeting as well even though I asked her to take the time off and rest. I ran my hands through her hair and she leaned into my touch and beamed at me. "Are you sure that you don't want to stay and rest? A foot massage will be much better than listening to the council."She chuckled and smoothed my shirt. "I agreed to stay away if there was a war. I want to stay and listen to the meeting. I want to see Fentris as well."I exhaled. That traitor was going to pay as soon as all this was over. I swor
Olivia's POVI was up early. This wasn't the night I was expecting to have in my home as soon as I got back. I rolled over in bed. André's space was empty but still warm. He had gotten up a few minutes ago. A sigh escaped my lips. He was probably in his study. I heard him say something like that to Pierre earlier. I looked out the window. It was still dark out and the cool breeze was blowing and howling outside. I grabbed my robe that hung on the chair and draped myself. I was just as worried as he was about this plan. If it didn't work, we could all be in danger. My baby, our baby could be in danger. The lights in the hallway were all dim and I saw a dim light coming from his study. My guess was right and as I eased the door open, I saw him on the chair with books open in front of him. "Hey," I said softly and he raised his eyes from his book and gave me a weary smile. "You should be resting," he said, gently. "And so should you. But here you are." I walked towards him and h
