Olivia's POVMy heart stopped beating, and I stared at him dumbfounded. He wanted to tell everyone about us already? "Kitten?""André, I... I... I'm not ready. I don't think that I can do it. It's too soon, and so much has happened. You saw the way my mom reacted and…I couldn't help babbling. A few minutes ago, I was soliloquising about how I was ready to accept him as my mate, but now my feet had gotten cold, and I was backing away.My rambling continued, but I soon felt a soft finger press against my lips, silencing me."Shhhhh, kitten. You're overthinking this."I felt my eyes become moist, and I slowly removed André's fingers from my lips."André, I'm not ready...""Princess, you would never be ready if I left it to you. There is no better time than the present."He stroked my cheek with his thumb, which slowly moved down to my lips. His touch was soft and reassuring, melting away my doubts."I know that you are scared, and it's alright. You just need to remember that I will be b
André's POVI watched my kitten take a deep breath. I could see the fear in her eyes, so I offered my arm to comfort her.She smiled lightly and looped her arm through. I bent down, kissed her lips, and savoured the look in her eyes."I'll be with you. You don't need to worry about anything."She nodded, and I pushed the gate open. We strode in together, and I saw that all eyes were on her. She gripped my hand tighter and lowered her head, fearful of all the eyes that gave her judgmental looks.I could hear the wagging tongues chat about us.""Why is he holding her like that?""Where is the Luna?""What is he doing holding his stepdaughter in such an inappropriate way?"I said nothing and simply kept my head straight. I didn't care about what they thought. Olivia dominated my mind. I was here to announce her as my mate and Luna, and no one was going to say otherwise.We got to the stage, and I gestured for her to sit in a reserved seat near the front, where she wouldn't have to look ar
Olivia's POVI woke up to the feel of a soft hand brushing over my face. I stretched, opened my eyes slowly, and saw a face bent over mine with a blurry smile.It took a while for my vision to clear up, but as soon as it did, I smiled at the smiling face and raised my hand to stroke it."Good morning, sleepy head. Hope you had a nice rest."I chuckled and sat up, but I was pushed back down to the bed with a steamy, wet kiss.I groaned and raised my hands to bring them closer, but he backed away and planted a kiss on my forehead. "You must have been really tired yesterday, weren't you?"I gave a nod as I rubbed my eyes and sat up, allowing the bed sheets to roll off me, uncovering my bare body. I had tried my best to dance and enjoy the party festivities. Still, everywhere I went, I got hideous glares from people as they continued to question, with their eyes, the possibility of the relationship between André and I.He whispered into my ear, and his breath tickled my lobe.I blushed, a
André's POVI grabbed a bottle and poured Doran's drink. We sat in my room talking. My study was undergoing repairs, so our usual meeting place was inaccessible for now.Doran raised the glass to his lips and took a sip. It was amazing how he was able to ignore the burning taste of the whiskey and drink it with a straight face."Your little revelation really sparked a lot of tension in the pack. I can tell you first-hand that the council is definitely not happy with you. And they are appalled by the relationship between Olivia and her mother."I took a sip of my own drink and grimaced slightly as the hot liquor burned its way down my oesophagus. I rarely drank. ”Honestly, I couldn't care less about what they thought. They wanted a Luna, and I gave them one, and I'm happy about my decision."I took another sip and rolled my eyes to communicate my disinterest further. The council had gotten impatient and forced Nicole on me. I never wanted her, but it seems that the Goddess planned it a
Olivia's POVI stood in the principal's office with my head bowed low and my fingers twisting through each other restlessly.The principal had scolded me and my two assailants, but it felt like I was the one who got the heat of it. I could still hear them snickering as we continued to stand before him while he filled out some forms. Suddenly, the door opened, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. The scent that filled the air was more than familiar, and my fury turned into fear; I was in so much trouble.The principal raised his head from his work and uttered the words I dreaded to hear: "Alpha André, we are so glad that you are here."My muscles tightened in fear and embarrassment, and my eyes shut even tighter. I heard one of the girls snicker."I can't believe this embarrassment is supposed to be our Luna."My cheeks went red again in anger, and my muscles twitched as I harboured thoughts of punching her nose again as I had earlier. It was obvious that she hadn't learned her lesso
André's POVThe breeze blew her beautiful hair all around her like a delicate halo. The worry lines on her forehead were pronounced, and her expression was filled with scepticism."André, I can't feel anything?"Her eyes were still shut, and I could see that she was losing her patience.I walked up to her, stroked her hair, and caressed her chin."You have to give it time. Just relax and breathe. Feel how powerful and perfect nature is around you. Feel your wolf stretching out and connecting with everything. Feel the flowers and breeze tingle your senses."She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The breeze picked up and swirled the leaves around her. Her face began to relax, and her shoulders drooped as she took deep, calming breaths."Yes. That's it. You are doing great. Feel everything connect with you."I watched as her worry lines disappeared, and a smile crept on her face. The wind swirled her beautiful hair around her, and I couldn't help but drool over how beautiful she look
Olivia's POVI felt the energy in me fade off. I saw the mark on André's neck and the bubbling passion in his eyes.Before I could think, he grabbed me and bent me over a table, knocking over the potted plants and spilling the lush, loamy soil on the ground.I felt his hands spank my butt and whimpered in pleasure."Make me yours, André. Please."He spread my legs apart, and I could feel his fingers teasing me.Fuck! My bud was soaking. I could smell my own arousal."I have never had you this wet for me before, kitten. Tell me how bad you want me. Tell me how bad you want my cock to fill you."His fingers thrust inside my pussy, and I moaned in pleasure. My claws scratched the table, leaving lacerations in the wood. I could feel my pussy clenching around his fingers and pulling him deeper towards my G-spot."Fuck! Your body can't even hide how bad it wants me."He pulled his finger out, and my body shivered violently. My skin felt prickly and hot. The longer my pussy felt unfilled by h
André's POV I opened my eyes and felt Olivia's soft body being squeezed against me as she slept peacefully. I brushed her hair off her face and kissed her forehead, which woke her up from her sweet slumber."I'm sorry I woke you."She said nothing and snuggled closer to me. She smelled of flowers and minty grass. Her ass was curved beautifully, and there were flowers in her ravaged hair."You know that we can't stay here forever, kitten."She grumbled sweetly, and I stood up and helped her get dressed.Putting her clothes on felt like a tease. Little by little, her gorgeous body was being hidden away. And for some reason, I wanted her all over again.My fingers grazed her nipples as I pulled her dress down. Her face was flushed, and I grabbed her face and pulled her close to me."I can't wait to have you again, mate."She smirked and covered my lips with a soft kiss. I groaned against her lips and struggled to pull away from her. She was addictive.We finally left the greenhouse. Our
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
