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
OLIVIA'S POV“Victory, can I have a word with you?” I asked.He stopped working, looking at me with an unsure gaze. “Yeah. 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'
RAVEN'S POVIt felt exciting to see Rick once again. I was thinking he wouldn't consider my invitation, but surprisingly, he did. He even came with his mate which made it more fascinating.We've been pretty good enemies for quite some years now, and I'd say, watching that expression on his face did make my day.The night finally unfolded, the guests were beginning to leave gradually. I left the hall with Sophia, I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my night with her.Things have been going perfectly well with me and Sophia. She's been a perfect figure in my life, and I can't stop thanking the Moon goddess for having given her to me. What exactly would I have done without her? All those while I thought Olivia was the most important woman in my life, not until Sophia came in, I found all the reasons to fall in love again.We held each other's hands as we made our way to our room, but I wasn't feeling the romance between us, so I had to carry her up in my arms in a bridal style.She gig
OLIVIA'S POVI decided to give Victory some space since he had no reasons why he had decided to ghost me. I decided to spend my time in the kitchen, assisting Mrs Tessa while she cooked.Suddenly, the same girl who had informed us that Alpha Rick was journeying to the Dark Moon Pack rushed in, breathing like a chased rat.“The Alpha King has returned.” She announced.“So, why should that be the reason why you are breathing so heavily like this?” Mrs Tessa asked.“I think someone must have offended him because he looks really angry. Worse part of it is, a maid was reported to have attempted to escape when the guards caught her leaving.”My heart flew like I was the girl who had attempted to run. I left the kitchen to see what Alpha Rick was likely to do to the accused maid. She was kneeling with her face buried to the ground. I could see her body trembling in fear as Alpha Rick gave her a dead killing glare. She was crying, but it was as if her tears did nothing, causing the angered a
RICK'S POV I had to leave her because that was the right choice to take at that very moment or I'd end up hurting her which is something I don't want to regret later.It would be difficult trying to explain to her my reasons for being this annoyed. If only she knew what Raven had said about her, then she wouldn't have to talk that loud.Right now, I need space more than ever. I decided to spend the night in my second room which was the room I never let anyone enter except myself. Not even Anna had seen what the room looked like.I couldn't help but grow angry as his image kept displaying in my head over and over again. How dare he say such a thing to my face? What gut does he have to have spat those words to me?I tried not to act rationale, knowing today was his day and I need to respect that fact. Aside from that, I wouldn't have minded strangling him the moment he spoke those words to me.I could feel the anger burning inside of me, consuming me, wanting me to vent it in anything
OLIVIA'S POVI had no idea why she was angry at me, but she wasted no time to yell at me over reasons I wish I knew. Or should I rather say… Reasons I wish I never knew.Alpha Rick returned from his so-called journey annoyed, how am I supposed to know why he was annoyed? Besides, she was supposed to know better since it was the two of them who left the pack house at the same time.But then, she was trying to put the blame on me. Just because he killed a maid for attempting to run away but never thought of doing the same to me. He has his reasons for doing that, and the number one reason was to watch me suffer miserably which his plans are gradually coming to pass. If only the girl was in my shoes, she would definitely thank the Alpha for taking her life without a second thought.“Your sudden attitude is alarming, and I'm beginning to wonder if you're meeting someone who is giving you the ego tomato however you want.”Meeting someone?Who on earth would I meet when it was obviously c
OLIVIA'S POVIt hasn't been long since Alpha Rick angrily left the pack house. I don't know what went over him since he returned from the Dark Moon Pack. Or was there something Raven must have told him that got him this annoyed?As if that wasn't enough reasons, he had a little misunderstanding with Anna. These two have issues that they need to work on, or else they'll end up having misunderstandings every blessed day.I was at the garden as usual, watching as the other maids were trimming the flowers with a few others who were cutting the grasses. Suddenly, I heard Anna's voice.She didn't walk all the way from her room to this place all because of me, did she?“You naughty bitch.” She cursed, heading in my direction. “Your presence here has caused nothing but damage. Haven't you no conscience at all?”“Ma'am, I have no idea—” I was cut short by the weight of her hand on my cheek.“Of course, you have an idea of what I am talking about. Don't try to act innocent because we both know
RICK'S POVI decided for dinner with Anna, I wanted to make it up to her that I wasn't annoyed with her or whatsoever. I know my actions this morning hurt her so badly, and I accept my faults.She deserves the best. She deserves an apology.I noticed Olivia wasn't serving as she used to, I grew suspicious of her absence. She should be here, knowing of my return. “Why is Olivia not here?” I asked Anna.She shrugged her shoulders, making a face of ‘I don't seem to care.’ “Well, I haven't seen her since you left this morning. Maybe it's because I'm not you, she doesn't seem to value me that much. But then… who cares?”There was something about her reply. Of course I know Anna to be the nagging type of person, she would have complained about her even before I thought of asking. But her showing an I don't care attitude seems strange.Could it be that she has come to terms with caring less about Olivia? Did my words hit her hard?I hope so.I waved off the thoughts of Olivia, focusing on t
