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
RICK'S POVIt's been two weeks now. Two weeks with Olivia avoiding me. I tried to know why, but she kept pushing me away. I've done everything in my power to see that she's happy and safe, but for so many reasons best known to her, she preferred to give me a long spoon.The last time I asked her why, what she said to me almost gave me a cardiac arrest. I wouldn't have minded hearing those words from a different person, but since it was coming from her, I couldn't explain how it felt.“Whatever happened between us that night was a mistake. I only let you touch me because I needed someone, I needed something to distract me, and you were the only available figure at the moment. That doesn't mean I love you, I can never have any feelings for someone like you. You're nothing but a monster, you're a beast.”I knew she does hate me, but the confidence in her to have said that spoke a lot. I could tell she was scared, she was threatened to do so.I don't want to believe it was Anna's doing, b
OLIVIA'S POV“Why does he keep troubling my life?” I muttered to myself, growing increasingly uncomfortable with his persistent intrusion into my life, as if I'm obligated to love him.I don't know why he was making it look like we are meant to be or something. I don't like him, isn't that enough to let him know that I don't need him in my life?I might have had feelings for him before but that doesn't mean I have feelings for him now. I can't even imagine myself loving him, not after all he's done. Not after watching him kill that maid, which alone is a thousand reasons why I can't even let him in my life.Now he thinks I am avoiding him. I mean why not? Because of him, Anna almost ruined my life, she gave me the worst torture I have ever had in my years of existence.After facing such pain, who in her rightful sense would think of loving someone with a she-devil he calls a girlfriend? Definitely not me.I was pacing at one part of the hallway while my mind roamed with thoughts. I si
OLIVIA'S POVI scrubbed the floor furiously, trying my best to keep the toilet as clean as ever. As I kept working, a sudden wave of dizziness swept over me, causing me to pause. My eyes grew heavy, my limbs weak. I couldn't ignore the overwhelming fatigue that consumed me at that moment. Reluctantly, I abandoned what I was cleaning and sank to the floor beside the water system toilet."Oh, God! What the hell is wrong with me?" I rubbed my face frustratedly.I can't remember the last time I ever felt sick. That was years ago. But since all I've been doing for these past few weeks is to work my ass out, it's definitely going to be a fever.I couldn't even get myself to stand up, it's as if I had lost my strength. I just wanted to remain this way, but then, I couldn't get myself to sit any longer before. I forced myself to stand up but fell. My breath increased. I couldn't help it, the weakness persisted, leaving me powerless to continue. Taking a deep breath, I tried to steady myself
RAVEN'S POV{Three Months Later…}I sat on my throne seat, listening as the elders made their report. My mind wasn't in what they were saying as I couldn't get myself to concentrate. It's been three months and yet, Sophia hasn't gotten pregnant.I was tired and devastated, and I wanted to leave this place. But it would be unwise of me to walk without a reason. Instead, I asked them to leave.“You all should leave, we'll have this conversation tonight.” “At what time, sir?” The chief elder asked.“I'll inform you when. For now, I want to be left alone.” “Alright, sir.” I watched them leave the room one after the other.I couldn't think straight sitting on my throne chair, I had to stand up, hoping it would help. This month just made it three fucking months, and I can't stand to be proud of myself before the people.And alpha king without an heir? This was one reason why I broke up with Olivia, because she couldn't conceive despite the countless times we've slept together.Now, I thou
RAVEN'S POVAfter she had had her dinner, I discussed with her about the idea of visiting the hospital. At first, she felt uncomfortable with the idea, but I had to convince her that it was the best for us.“Alright.” She agreed.When morning came, we were already up. She seemed even more concerned about visiting the hospital than I was, and she kept hurrying me to be fast or more patients would crowd the hospital.If she was this concerned, why did she act like she hated the idea the previous night? “I thought you hated the idea of meeting the doctor?”“Me?” She pointed at herself. “I never said I don't like the idea of meeting a doctor. I mean, I do wanna see a doctor but… I was only surprised you thought of the idea first.”“That’s because I am worried, Sophia. It's already a year and… we don't have a child of our own.”“I understand you, and I do feel the same way. I just… I can't question fate for putting us in such a situation.”“That is why I have made up my mind to involve wi
