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
André's POV I had a cup of coffee before me and watched Pierre go furiously at the keyboard. "Any progress hacking into the Inn surveillance?"Pierre continued to type faster, but soon, he stopped and stared at the screen.I dropped my coffee and stared at him."Well, what is it?" I asked impatiently. "Did you find anything? Do you recognise the man? Is Olivia in the footage?”I watched Pierre gulp before he turned to me. "The…the surveillance records have been cleared, Sir."I gripped the table in anger and nearly spilled my coffee."What?""The surveillance footage from that night till present has been removed from the records. There is nothing here.”I grabbed the laptop violently from him and stared at the screen. He was right. The records were empty. Someone had cleared the footage.My fingers went furiously at the keyboard, and Pierre looked at me in confusion."What are you doing?""I am looking for the footage. Are you blind?"My stern voice deterred Pierre from asking any m
Olivia's POV"We are here."I jerked in fright and looked around. Where was ‘here’?With the speed at which Jonas was driving, thirty minutes was reduced to twenty-five.I was in the middle of a book when he pulled up in front of a convenience store.I set my book down and marvelled at its size—large enough to qualify for a mall. "That was fast. I didn't think that we would be here so soon."Jonas smiled at me and gave me a warm wink."You should probably thank Rick for his car once we get back home." I gave a light laugh and looked around. The sky had completely darkened, and the moon was peeping out from behind the clouds.Grrrrr!I placed my palms on my belly and rubbed it a little. I had completely forgotten how hungry I was once engrossed in my book. Now that I was out of my fantasy world, my body protested its discomfort.Grrrrr!Jonas looked at me, and I could tell that he was stifling a laugh."Did you swallow a monster recently? I have never heard a tummy growl like that bef
André's POVNicole was the last thing on my mind, and I quickly had Pierre on the important updates. I would deal with Nicole some other time. "They lost him?! What the fuck do you mean by 'they lost him'?!"Just a few minutes ago, I had my hopes raised, thinking that I was going to find Olivia soon, and now they had lost track of the bastard that had taken her from me.Pierre trembled again in fear and continued to press his keyboard furiously, trying his best to find what had happened to the man who had stolen my Olivia."How did you guys even lose him?""I... I... I think he knows that we are onto him."“There are five different routes that he could have taken, all unofficial. I think he ducked into one of them. We can’t find him anymore."I glanced at the map dismissively, ”I don't have time for this!""I don't care what you do. Have men on all five routes. I want that car found and followed. I want Olivia found today. Our plan remains the same. We will track from behind and take
Olivia’s POVI rushed to the back of the store. My muscles twitched with tension and anger. I was going to rip whoever touched her to shreds.I reached the back aisle, and I was right. Olivia sat helplessly on the floor, and around her stood six men beaming at her lustfully, deciding what to do with her barely conscious body.One of the men turned their attention to me, and the rest followed suit.I snarled at them and felt my wolf bubble with agitation. Seeing Olivia lying on the floor helplessly made me furious.I swung at the nearest unlucky mother fucker and sent him reeling to the floor. He sat up and wiped his face."Blood! Fuck you! Get him!"The other five were hesitant, but they rushed at me. I was still taking in their movements for a while, and then my body acted. Every fibre in me was screaming at me to protect Olivia. I didn't want any harm to come to her. One by one, they all fell to the ground. My fists were covered with blood as I struck at flesh and bone.I continued
Olivia's POV"No! No! No!"I tripped, and I fell into a deep, dark abyss. I tried to scream, but I couldn't. The darkness had muffled my screams and was devouring my conscience little by little. There was nothing more to think about. This was the end. I was lost, and I would never see André or Jonas again. There was nothing that I could do, and I simply closed my eyes to accept my fate. I continued to fall, but I soon hit something comfortable and soft. My body was warm, and my skin felt loved.“No. This wasn't real." I felt my body become stiff. Where was I? What was happening? Was I finally dead? Was this heaven? Where were the pearly gates? It was still dark, but the darkness felt comforting and familiar—the soft type that rocked you to peaceful sleep. I still couldn't see it, but I was no longer afraid. "André?"I took a sniff of the air, and his scent filled my nostrils. Where was I? Was he here? Why couldn't I see him?"... wrong with her?""... form in her lungs. She will b
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
