OLIVIA'S POV
I sat at the breakfast table, my gaze flickering between my plate and the two genders before me. He was giving her the attention she needed, and the way he kept smiling at every word she spoke to him. It was even obvious that he had forgotten I was here – watching how romantic they were playing right before me.
I felt a pang of jealousy and anger gnawing inside of me. I used to be the center of Raven's world, I used to think with him, I would be treated like a princess, but ever since Sophia entered our lives, everything had changed. I was no longer the princess in this scenario.
The princess of Raven was someone else.
Someone more beautiful and cuter than I am. A girl whom Raven loved and adored, and he was willing to do anything – whatever it took to make her happy. He was willing to bring the stars down, to kill anyone just for her sake.
It pained me the most that all these had happened just in a blink of an eye, and even till now, I can't explain how it all happened. The pain, the hurt... And the fact that she was his mate was more terrifying than watching them staring at each other with love filled in their eyes.
I clenched my fist beneath the table, fighting to keep my composure. I still don't understand why he wasn't seeing the picture clearly that her presence had only caused more harm than good. We used to be happy even though we aren't mates, we promised to let the love lead us, but now...
"Olivia, pass me the salt." He said, his voice was a bit harsh as he stared at me.
Forced to tear my gaze from the scene before me, I reached for the salt shaker. I passed the salt to him, our fingers brushed against each other momentarily before we retreated.
Raven whispered something into her ears, causing her to laugh. My jaw tightened as I fought to suppress the wave of resentment washing over me. The tension was palpable as she took a spoon of the fried rice into her mouth, grinding on it.
I held my breath, staring at her to see her reaction. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Eww. This tastes awful." She muttered under her breath.
Raven furrowed his brow in concern as he turned to her. "Is something wrong, my dear?" he asked, his tone laced with worry.
"Yes, Raven, everything is wrong. Did you taste this food? It tastes awful." She barked, wiping her mouth with the white table towel.
Raven tasted the rice, a deep frown played on his face. I had already started eating, and I didn't see anything wrong with the food. Or were they just trying to pull my legs?
"What's the meaning of this?" He blurted.
"That is food, Raven. That's what it means." I said less reluctantly.
"Well, your food tastes weird."
"I've been eating this for a couple of minutes now and I don't find anything wrong with it. But if it does taste awkward to you guys, then you should ask her to make a better one for you."
"You dare not talk to my mate like that!" He growled.
"Oh please, Raven. Like you said, she is your mate. If what I cooked isn't delicious, then just do it yourself. And about her, why should I care if she doesn't like the food or not." I shrugged my shoulders, taking another mouthful of the rice into my mouth.
Lately, he's been making me look more like a maid than his fiancée. While I worked my ass up and down, all she does is sleep, eat, complain about almost everything.
"Raven, are you going to leave her after she had insulted me?" Sophia said, mellowing her voice so that Raven would feel pitiful for her.
"Olivia, you have to make it up to her. You must cook something else, this time I want it sweeter than this trash."
"Trash?" I scoffed. "I'm not walking into that kitchen anymore. You can't keep making me look like a fool all because of her!"
Sophia was looking at Raven, and the more he kept looking at her, the more he reacted to me. I was already tired of the whole drama, and I wasn't even ready to stoop too low for her. Angrily, I stood up to walk away.
Sophia stood up to block me, but ended up hitting me. She yelled, pretending to be hurt. I looked at her in surprise, I didn't do anything to her but she had intentionally fallen to the ground to get Raven's attention.
"You should learn how to watch where you are going." I told her.
Raven stood up. He didn't say anything for a while, and then, with furrowed brows, he walked closer to me. "You?" He pointed. His voice was almost indistinct but enough to make my heart skip a beat. "Do you really have to be so annoying? Can't you for once be responsible?"
"I didn't do anything to her." I defended myself. "You should ask her, she purposely fell on her own."
"You saw her, Raven, you saw what she did to me." Sophia said, pretending to be in pain. "Do something!"
"So you're gonna listen to her –" Before I could say the next word, I felt his hand make a rough contact on my face. It shocked me to the core that Raven dared to touch me for the first time all because of her?
I was hurt, especially at the way he looked at me. "I cannot have you as my mate," He muttered. A stabbing pain shot through me as those words escaped his lips. I looked at him with tears streaming down my face.
"Why, Raven?" I asked, my voice breaking. "What's so special about her that you will do anything for her? What's so special about her that you easily believe everything she says?"
"Everything, Olivia. Everything is special about her."
Was I too ugly or undesirable for him to show such a reaction to me?
"Isn't it obvious? I don't want you. I don't need you in my life, Olivia! I need a strong Luna by my side, and Sophia is an obvious choice. I can't live with a weak, regular-looking she-wolf like you, don't you understand? Meeting you was a mistake."
I wanted to step away and leave but I couldn't, my feet were paralyzed and I couldn't move. I wanted to look away while they walked out of the dining room, but I couldn't help but watch with teary eyes.
It was obviously clear that he doesn't want me anymore. Worst of all, he had chosen her over me.

OLIVIA'S POVThe pain was undeniably excruciating. It was suffocating me, it was pulling me down to nothing, and it was killing me. My heart shredded into pieces as those words came out of his mouth. I had tried too hard to hold myself from crying, but I couldn't help but let the tears flow down my cheeks.I had locked myself in my room, isolating myself from everyone else. I thought being alone for a while would heal me from the pain I was feeling. I thought shutting my door against them would make me feel better, but it only made things worse.Just when I thought I had seen it all, he dared to kiss her in front of me. I felt devastated, betrayed and words can't explain how I felt at the moment. I thought he loved me, I thought he did care for me… “You can't have him, Olivia. It's impossible to win him back.” The voice echoed in my head.I covered my ears with the pillows, trying to keep the voice away from me, but it kept ringing louder to my brain. “You are so weak, Olivia, and if
OLIVIA'S POV The moon hung low in the ink-black sky. My heart pounded in my chest as I raced through the dense underbrush, my breath ragged and hot in my throat. Tears blurred my vision, but I refused to slow down, the sting of Raven's rejection kept screaming in my head.It had hit me hard like a physical blow, shattering my world in an instant. I couldn't bear to stay, not with the shame and humiliation burning hot on my cheeks. I was left with no choice but to run, and I know this was something I would never regret. I sneezed while wiping away my tears, I'd heard and watched enough. And I've made my decision.I was never a weakling. Even if we had shared many memories over our four-year marriage, I never lacked the courage to leave him. Since he had betrayed me, I wouldn't want him either.Branches whipped at my skin as I ran, but I barely felt the pain. My mind was consumed by the need to escape, to put as much distance between myself, Raven, Sophia and the pack as possible. I co
OLIVIA'S POVThe last thing I remembered was talking to a terrifying stranger with dark red eyes. The rest was history…*****My eyes slowly opened, my vision was blurry until it adjusted to the environment. I glared around the strange room, this place doesn't look like a room to me. It had an awkward smell, and I could barely get a glimpse due to how dark the room was.I realized I was in a dungeon. My eyes widened in terror at my realization. I jerked up, rushing towards the cell door. I started banging on the door continuously, screaming on top of my voice.“Open the door! Open the door!” I yelled. “Open the door! Somebody help me!” I waited for a minute to get a response, but none came so I kept shouting. “Someone get me out of here!”“Quiet, young lady.” A voice growled at me. “Where am I?” I asked, terrified. “What's this place? How did I get here?”“Like I said, quiet!”“You can't just shush me, at least I need an explanation.” I fired. “You should be grateful you aren't dead
OLIVIA'S POV "I must be dreaming," I thought as I awoke in a luxurious bed. The last thing I remembered was giving in to the Alpha's demands and agreeing to be his slave. But here I am, in a grand bedroom fit for a queen."You're not dreaming," a voice said from the doorway. It was the Alpha. I felt my pulse quicken. "You are now a servant in my household, and I expect you to carry out your duties to the best of your ability."I swallowed hard. Was I imagining all these, or was it truly reality staring at me?“Are you listening to me?” He asked, his gaze fixed on me. He sounded rather harsh.I stuttered. “I… I understand," I said, though my heart was racing. He turned and left the room, and I breathed a sigh of relief.I couldn't believe this was my life now, however, I knew I had to make the most of it. I stepped out of the bed, and I started by dressing the room and heading for the kitchen to prepare breakfast.I had no idea where the kitchen was, everything about this place feels
OLIVIA'S POVWill I ever get to survive him? I thought to myself as I shut my eyes from staring at those dark eyes."You have three seconds to leave my sight this instant." He growled, and I could feel the anger in his voice as it reverberated through the woods. "Now!"I had to run, my legs were moving faster. It was as if I wasn't in control of my body, like there was an external force causing me to run this faster. Why would he be so insisting that I should stay here? I don't want to be here, I just wanna live free without having anyone having control of my life.I thought I was leaving my darkness, however, I ended up in my doom.As I got back to the pack house, I rushed into my room, slamming the door like he was just right behind me and if I didn't have to be this quick, he'd barge in.My heart was beating so fast that I could hear it loud and clear. What have I gotten myself into? Why does it have to be me? Can my day ever be better?Just when I thought I was in my safe zone, I h
OLIVIA'S POV The morning came, and his words kept ringing in my head. "Meet me in my room first thing tomorrow morning, and don't be late. I want your face to be the first thing I see when I wake up.” I left my room to his. Knocking on the door, he said. “Come in.” Quietly, I opened the door, shutting it gently behind me. “Good morning, Your Majesty.” I greeted. They were still in bed, his arms wrapped around her waist, and they were just so close, leaving no gap between them. I moved my gaze from them, glaring around the room. It was a bit messy compared to Raven's room. I really don't know how they survive in a room like this. And to talk about the fact that the reason behind it's messy look is actually coming from her. I remember waking up right on that bed when I first agreed to Alpha Rick's deal to serve as his maid, how nice the room was looking, like there wasn't anyone living in the room. Now, it was looking a bit different than I thought. “What are you standing there f
OLIVIA'S POV I searched for a good cloth for him to wear, corresponding to the weather. I found a perfect outfit for the day, walking towards him, my movement slow and steady. I could feel his eyes on me, but I tried not to look back. My heart was pounding so fast, my hands trembled slightly both from nervousness and indignation at being called his slave. I couldn't stop wondering why he would want it to be me. Suppressing my emotions, I tried to focus on the task at hand. Carefully, I draped his garment over his broad shoulders, my hand gently making soft contacts on his skin. He would look at me whenever my skin touched his, like each contact meant a lot to him. I successfully wore him his shirt, and I was left with the trousers. I looked at him to be sure if he had changed his mind, but it doesn't look like he has. He wanted me to continue. Shyly, I stretched my hand to grab the folded ends of the towel around his waist. My hand trembled, my mind wasn't at peace to continue,
OLIVIA'S POVI gathered Anna's clothes in the basket, taking them with me to wash at the laundry room. I recalled the words of the chef, all of a sudden I wanted clarification for those words.I left the clothes, heading for the kitchen. Before I made it to the door, a maid asked me. “Aren't you going to wash the clothes already? It seems you really want to enter the mistress's black book.”Was that a warning, or was it just her not minding her business?“I'm the one to be worried about that. Thanks by the way.” I left the laundry, heading for the kitchen.She was busy as she kept checking on the pancakes. “Wow! They smell nice.” I complimented.She turned to look at me, a smile crept on her face. “Oh, nice to meet you again. Never thought we'd see each other again.”“Well,” I shrugged. “Had to squeeze out my time to come here.” I looked at the fried pancakes in the basket. “Can I have one of those?” I asked, pointing at the basket.“Sure, why not?” She gave me one of the pancakes and
