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.

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

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

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.

    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,

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

    JESSICA Murmurs spread through the wolves and Lycans, and I could see some of Blake’s men lowering their stance, unsure of what to do next. Even Priscilla seemed uncertain now, and the Lycan King, though standing tall, yet he looked more cautious than he had before.“What do you want?” Raven asked. He wasn’t one to easily trust, and neither was I, but something about this figure made it hard to doubt its power.“To end this needless war,” the figure replied, its eyes now fixed on the Lycan King. “Your thirst for revenge has led you astray. And you, Blake, have let your past cloud your judgment.”Blake bristled at the words. I could feel the tension radiating off him, but he stayed silent, waiting for the figure to continue.“You all fight for reasons rooted in pain and loss,” the figure said, its gaze now on Priscilla, Antonio, and the rest of us. “But the moon does not favor endless violence. There must be balance.”I felt a sudden peace in me, but was tinged with fear. What would h

I saw Priscilla step forward, her eyes locked on Blake. My stomach twisted. All I could see in her was revenge. Revenge. It had swallowed her whole.I couldn’t just stand by and watch. I had to do something.I ran toward Priscilla, trying to reach her through the bond we once had. I pushed my thoughts into her mind, pleading with her to stop. *Don’t do this, Priscilla. It doesn’t have to be this way.* But she didn’t even flinch. Her mind was closed off, her heart totally consumed by rage. She was too far gone.Before I knew it, I grabbed her arm, trying to pull her away, but that only made things worse. She jerked around, her eyes burned with fury. And then, out of nowhere, the Lycan King appeared, moving so fast that I barely saw him coming. He smacked me hard across the face, and everything went

Blake had met with Alpha Raven the day before, and they promised to fight with us. Not just Raven, but another wolf clan that was a close friend of his had joined in too. Seeing how determined they were gave me some comfort, even though the fear of what was to come still weighed heavily on me.Blake’s men were already gathered, standing at attention, waiting for his orders. I stood beside him, my heart racing, but I knew I had to stay strong. This was the moment Blake had promised me—fighting alongside him, just like he said we would.Beside him was Lyra, he had also made her the same promise.

    JESSICA The door creaked open behind me, and I didn’t need to turn to know who it was. Blake’s scent, that familiar mix of warmth and safety, wrapped around me as he stepped closer. “Jessica,” his voice was soft, yet I could feel the cling of sleep in his tone. “What’s wrong? You’re shaking.”I hadn’t even noticed my body trembling. I tried to pull myself together, but I knew he could sense it. He always could. I forced myself to look up at him, his eyes still sleepy but alert now, searching mine for answers."I'm fine." I lied. "I couldn't sleep anymore so I thought I should get some air. Besides, the guards are everywhere, you need not to worry. You should go back to sleep."He sighed, crossing his arms around his chest. "How am I supposed to go back to sleep when you're not on the bed?" I looked at him, and we both chuckled. "I can wait until you feel sleepy."That was one habit of Blake, he wasn't ready to give up on me no matter how minor or major the situation may be."It's re

    JESSICAI felt my heart sink after hearing what the spy had said. Antonio had made it so obvious after speaking to someone over the phone, his laughter filled the air so it was loud enough for the spy to have eavesdropped on him.It hurt me that it was at this point Priscilla was being silly and stubborn. I don't know what her master had done to her, but whatever it is, I wouldn't let her have her way. I don't care if it would cost my own life, I wouldn't sit and watch her hurt my man.I welcomed nature with the purpose of meeting Priscilla at least for the last time. I knew I was disobeying Blake's order not to meet her again since she had made up her mind. Somehow, I believe there could be a chance for hope.The dream was so vivid, so real that when I saw her, standing there in the distance, my stomach dropped. "Priscilla." That name tasted like poison on my tongue. She didn’t look surprised when I called her out, anger burning in my chest as I stormed toward her. "Priscilla!" I sh

    PRISCILLAIt was a week before Deluca finally came to a conclusion on the day to attack. Though it wasn't fixed yet, it was something he assumed to be. I was more than excited that I wouldn't have to wait any longer than I have. I didn’t see the need to attend Deluca’s meeting with his friends. We had already gone over every detail of the plan. Besides, the thought of sitting through hours of more discussion felt like a waste of time. So, I stayed back in my room, but as the night dragged on, I couldn’t deny how restless I was becoming. How long were they going to talk? It's been since morning, weren't they tired already? I can't even imagine myself sitting for hours, not to talk about talking for more than five hours over a particular conversation.I paced for a bit, trying to distract myself, but eventually ended up lying on my bed, waiting for Deluca to return. I kept glancing at the door, hoping to hear his footsteps. But he never came, and the heaviness of the day slowly lulle

    JESSICAI felt strange, this time it was a different feeling. I could tell Priscilla was happy, and in a good mood. I wouldn't say I didn't like it but... the happiness felt kinda strange."What's wrong?" Blake asked."I need to dream.""What?" Aria looked at me like I had gone crazy."Yes, I need to dream. I need to see Priscilla right now.""But it's still morning." She said, "I mean, you can't see her except if you both are sleeping, right?""Shit." I cursed under my breath. That was the fucking truth. If I need to speak to Priscilla, we both have to be asleep."Do you feel like she's in trouble or something?" Blake asked and I looked at him. How am I to answer him when I can't even tell my actual feelings right now."No. I can only feel her excitement right now." He raised an eyebrow like he wasn't expecting that answer from me."You should be happy." He added."Yes, I should. But this happiness comes with something different and I need to figure out what it is."I never knew how

    PRISCILLAWhat?!I mentally screamed and before I could know it, he had grabbed my lips into his. I felt my adrenaline rise in want, and I couldn't hold back the desire to kiss him back. As much as I wanted to fight him off, I found myself succumbing to his temptation.His hand moved to the back of my neck, pulling my face closer. While his other hand held my waist, causing our body to meet, my chest resting against his. And for some reason, I wished I wasn't this bursty.This man was all charming, and no matter how hard I tried to resist him, I just couldn't. I felt weak in his arms, and the way he touched me was way too strong than my resistance. And I can't do anything but give up trying."You know," He muttered between the kisses. "I love it when you fill your thoughts about me." I knew well, he was aware I was thinking so much about him. But him asking me minutes ago was like he was playing the innocent man who doesn't read everyone's mind."So, I'm gonna make every thought you t

    PRISCILLAIt was a hot morning. I couldn't believe the sun would shine this bright at such an hour of the day. I learned Antonio was paying Deluca a visit, I knew my anger would get a better hold of me so I decided to remain in my room for the rest of the day.I went to my wardrobe to search for something to wear. Or maybe, I can just take a drive outside to one of the eateries, rather than sharing the same air with an enemy. That was a perfect idea, and I was going to stick with it.I laid my clothes on the bed, and that was when Ivy, my maid, was showing up. Always late when needed. "Ma'am, your meal is ready." She walked in with my breakfast."Just drop it on the table." I said,She did so. "Anything else I can do for you?" She asked."No. I have everything done already." I walked into the bathroom. I just don't know how to get her changed to someone better. I have tried everything and yet she still seems dull to my liking.I heard the sound of the door closing, I let out a sigh b
