OLIVIA'S POV

For a week now, since the night Alpha Rick threatened me, I have been watching him closely. I noticed he always did the same things at the same time every day. If something didn't go as he planned, he got really mad. I was desperate for his weakness. However, I knew a little hard work would help.

I started by messing up his routine in small ways. Sometimes, I spilled his coffee or misplaced his papers. Meanwhile, he tried to stay calm at first, but as I kept messing things up, he got more and more upset.

Me on the other hand, no doubt, I do enjoy seeing him lose control. So, I kept doing things to disrupt his day. I wanted to see how much I could get away with and how far I could push him since he does seem hard to play. All I had to do was to play my card well.

As time passed, I got happy seeing how things were going. I kept messing with his work more and more. His frustration grew, and he couldn't keep his cool anymore.

I made sure he didn't suspect me. Most times, he

    OLIVIA'S POV Stella, Victory and I were laughing together when I heard someone call my name. There was a sudden pause, then we all directed our gaze at the maid. "Excuse me, Miss Olivia," she said, "Madam requested to see you." She informed me. I exchanged quick glances with Stella and Victory, I could see the curiosity in their eyes. Turning to look at the maid, I said. "Alright, I'm right behind you." Without hesitation, I followed the maid to the Alpha's bedroom. The maid stopped outside while I made my way in. I knew why Anna had requested to see me. I mean, what else? It's probably because of the hot water. However, Anna wasted no time to address why she had called me. "Why did you leave the shower water hot?" She asked without hesitation, her question was straight and direct. I furrowed my brows in confusion, acting not to know what she was talking about. "I didn't realize it was hot," I replied, staring directly into her eyes. I did my best to act normal so she won't h

    RICK'S POV I sat by the bedside, watching as Anna slept. The soft rise and fall of her chest, the way her hair fell across her face, even in sleep, she was damn beautiful. But beneath the sweet slumber, I knew she was in pain. The bruise on her arm wasn't as small as it seemed. I wonder how humans endure such pain. I felt a pang of guilt for not being able to protect her from harm. If only I was able to sense it earlier, this wouldn't have happened. But I was weak, slow to sense the danger ahead of me. Unable to tear my eyes away from her, I found myself unable to sleep or carry out my usual daily routines. All I wanted to do was stay by her side, to watch over her and ensure her safety. My heart ached with empathy for her suffering, and I wish I could ease her pain, to take away the hurt she endured. I was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in." Somehow, I was hoping it was Olivia, I had no idea why I wanted to see her, even if it were for a second. Thankfully, it was her,

    DENVER'S POVSomething made me leave the bed to the window. I just had to follow my instincts and do what it said. Reaching the window, I stared down, watching as the guards petroled around the pack house. Staring ahead, I could see the beauty of nature at its peak.Then my eyes caught a figure seated in the garden. A familiar one at that. I noticed she wasn't just sitting and feeling the cold air, she was shivering, more like she was crying.But why?She wiped her eyes, then again after a few seconds. Her mouth was moving, but she got caught up as she choked. So I listened, to know what she was saying and why she was crying."What have I not done for you? Why do I have to be the one to face this? After four years—after four good years, all you had to do was turn me down just for her?” She again wiped her eyes, sniffling. “What has she done for you that I haven't?”My heart melted as I listened to her weep. All of a sudden, I was pitying her. The pain of watching the one you love choo

    OLIVIA'S POVI stood by the window, staring out of nowhere. I couldn't get myself to sleep even as nature kept knocking on my door. I couldn't explain my feelings right now, I couldn't tell if it was hate or guilt that clouded my inside.Did I make a mistake running away? Was I so stupid to have left his side in the first place? Was I supposed to have stood firm and fight for my love no matter what?But then—there's only one word that kept echoing in my head. No.I didn't make a mistake leaving his side, and I wasn't stupid to have left the pack. If he actually wanted me back, he would have searched for me. He would have called me through the mind-link, but he didn't do anything. He doesn't care about me anymore and it's fucking obvious that I don't mean a shit to him. But hell! My heart kept getting hurt at the fact that he was getting married to her."Sophia." I said the word with so much difficulty, like there was something stopping me from calling the name but I had to. I could

    OLIVIA'S POV I found myself lost in his gaze, feeling the warmth of his embrace enveloping me. Despite how strained our relationship was, there was something undeniably comforting about being held by him. The same man who had once been a source of my fear and uncertainty now served as a refuge from my inner turmoil.As he held me close, I couldn't help but be amazed at how close we were. I couldn't have my mind thinking about anything else but the figure standing before me. The way he held me close to himself felt like a safe haven.His touch was like a balm to my soul. At that moment, I made a conscious decision to push aside the thoughts of Anna. I didn't want to acknowledge the reality that he belonged to someone else. Instead, I chose to live in the fantasy of our own private world, where it's just the two of us against the world.With each passing moment, the intensity of his gaze in mine deepened, sending electric pulses of desire coursing through my veins. It was as if they we

    OLIVIA'S POVI woke up, feeling a bit lightened. My mind drifted to last night's event, recalling everything that happened. I could feel his hands on me even though he wasn't with me anymore, I could perceive his sweet scent he had left behind.His kiss. Those soft lips that scent goosebumps to my skin, sending my senses to overdrive. I couldn't help but long for more.I tried not to think too much or I'd end up forgetting I had things to do. I hurriedly brushed my teeth, had a quick shower before leaving for the Alpha's bedroom.I offered a knock, and just as usual, I got no response. I knocked for the second time, and yet, no one was going to talk so I ended up pushing the door open. They were both helping themselves to dress. Seeing this, I turned to leave but he stopped me.“Where do you think you're going?” His voice was back to the usual deep harsh voice it used to be.I want to believe he was only trying to act that way because he didn't want his girlfriend to suspect something

    Rick's POV As we grew closer to the Dark Moon pack house, Anna's face beamed with a smile. The environment was indeed welcoming, and it's obviously clear there was a stark difference between my pack house and Raven's even though they share a little bit of resemblance. "You seem happy." I said. She looked at me. "It's just so beautiful here." She complimented. The admiration in her eyes spoke a lot, and I have never seen this look in her eyes. Even when I first brought her to my pack, she never felt this excited. It's evident that he had spent so much to get his mansion to what it was now. Stepping out of the car, a guard approached us. "Welcome to the Dark Moon pack, please follow me." We followed him into the pack house. There were already guests who had come before us, but surprisingly, the ceremony hadn't started. "This is so beautiful!" She exclaimed, her eyes glaring around the hall. "Wow! Raven really did spend so much on his home." I was fazed hearing her say that, and

Yes, sure.” He left what he was doing to follow me. “We got to a place, making a stop. “Is everything alright?”“Well,” I hesitated, “It might seem alright to you, but nothing is alright to me.”He arched his brow in confusion. “I'm sorry.”“Yeah, you should.” I said almost immediately, making it obvious that I wasn't happy. He stared at me even more confusedly, his lips were slightly opened like he was going to say a word but ended up saying nothing.“Are we having an issue?” I demanded to know, still not getting the actual point why he would be acting so cold at me.“No. No, of course not. Why would you say that?”“Because all of a sudden, you've decided to grow so cold. And I'm here wondering if I have done anything wrong.” I was staring right into his eyes, searching for an answer, hoping he'd give me a good reason why he was acting so strange around me.“It'

    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

    JESSICA The morning was quiet, but I could feel the tension in the air. Today was the day—the day of the war we had all been preparing for. 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. Even though she tried to play courageous with the smile on her face, I could tell she was shit scared like I was.Then the alarm went off. The knight watcher signaled that Antonio and the Lycan pack were on their way. My breath caught in my throat. This wa

    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
