OLIVIA'S POVIf kissing was a crime, I'd probably be in hell right now.We kissed from the bathroom, to the bedroom and I had no idea he was taking me to the bed until the door swung open with force.I pushed Rick away from me, trying to dodge from whoever it was that opened the door. It was Anna, with a dreadful look on her face.“So this is what you've been doing behind my back, Rick?!” She yelled. “This is what you've been up to for the past few days, huh?”“Anna, what are you doing here?” He asked. I'm pretty sure he wasn't expecting her, neither was I. Her entrance shocked the hell out of me, that I had no idea of what to do at the moment.Was I to run? Or remain still like the caught rat I was?“What am I doing here?” She scoffed, looking at me. “You're cheating on me with this bitch and you're asking me what I am doing here? So, this is why you've been avoiding me lately, because of her? And yet, you keep giving me one excuse or the other because you don't want me to realize th
OLIVIA'S POVIt didn't go too well for me. Not like the situation right now seemed like a surprise to me, I expected worse of this to come in the first place. Anna had gone to report me to the elders who took the case into their hands. For a day now, Rick has been answering questions upon questions, and yet, they haven't come to a conclusion yet.Almost everyone has been giving me this awful glare like I'm the bad guy now. Or maybe, I am. I couldn't even leave my room to anywhere, my case has become a chaos in the pack house. Gossip, anger, hatred has become what clouded the atmosphere, and even without being there, I could feel the heat of every emotion.Stella had come earlier to check on me, but I acted not to be around. So, she came again, this time with Victory. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to lock the door. “So, you're here.” She said, a little frown played on her face. “Stella…”“And you acted not to be around? Why?” she questioned.I looked at both of them, thinking of a
OLIVIA'S POVI stood by the kitchen door, leaning against the wall as I watched Mrs Tessa and the other books rushing here and there like they were confused. Or maybe, I was the confused one to have ignored Stella and Victory's words to come here. “Hurry up, bitches! The royals won't entertain delays.” She yelled as she watched the other cooks carry trays of food out of the kitchen.She paused as her eyes met mine. “Hey,” she smiled. “Hey.” I returned the smile. “How long have you been watching?” She asked.“Not quite long.” I shrugged my shoulders. “How has cooking been?”She nodded. “Always fun like it used to. What about you?”I was surprised she was talking back at me like she hadn't heard a single thing from what was going on. Or has she?She spoke normally with me, like everything was alright.“Are you alright?” She asked, snapping her fingers at me.I flinched back to reality. “Uhm… sure. Yes, I am. Why?”“You just spaced out.”“Tessa,” I called with difficulty. “I… I know y
SOPHIA'S POVFor days now, I've been trying to figure out why he was growing colder towards me. He's been giving me this insane attitude that keeps hurting me, and it keeps breaking my heart.I still don't get why he would hate me this much because of not having a child. Besides, it's barely been five months since we got married. I know a few who gave birth after a year or two, so why? Why should mine become a crime?Olivia who used to be his lovey dovey back then wasn't able to provide a child during their four years of relationship, and yet, they lived happily ever after. Yet, he claims she was just his girlfriend and he never expected much from her.But then… wasn't that the same reason why he rejected her? All because she couldn't give birth? Then why do I have to look like the bad guy here, since he was able to endure her for four years. Probably, he should do the same to me.The Raven I knew was the type of person that stood to his words. Since he said he was going to get a dif
RICK'S POV "Olivia." I called but she ignored me, taking a different direction. I raised an eyebrow in confusion as I stared at her leaving my sight. This isn't the first, nor second, not the third time she was doing this to me. It had been since the day Anna caught us kissing in my bedroom. And since then, she's been giving me attitude. She wouldn't even look at my face for a second. I was becoming more like a nightmare to her. I tried to know why, but she wasn't giving me a face. She was treating me like I was some kinda stranger or something to her, more like I wasn't worth her time. It hurt me, I won't lie. Deep inside of me I felt shattered and broken at the same time, leaving a hole for only me to fix.Just when I thought I had gained her love, just when I thought I had it all to myself, I just lost it all in a spot. Falling in love with Olivia was more like a dream come true, a wish I had long hoped for. All of a sudden, it was cut short right before my eyes.With the situat
OLIVIA'S POVSince I stopped giving Alpha Rick a face, things had been quite cool for me here. I've been spending most of my time with Stella and Victory, and most times with chef Tessa since they were the only things that mattered to me.Anything that would involve Anna, I did my best to avoid them all, and that's starting from sticking to the fact that I wouldn't show any kind of concern to alpha Rick.“Are you sure you can survive missing him?” Stella asked.“Even if I can't, practice makes perfect. One of these days, I'd definitely not feel hurt not being around him.”“I feel pitiful for him though,” Victory added.“Since when did you start caring about his feelings?” Stella asked with surprise, knowing what was in my mind.“Just now.” He said, “I mean, things would have been perfectly fine if that bitch had minded her business. Like, isn't it obvious to her that the Alpha doesn't fancy her anymore, why would she want to make it look like it's a crime?”Stella remarked, "You're fi
OLIVIA'S POV “What…”“Shh.” He shushed me, those dark eyes piercing into my soul. My heart raced as I struggled to comprehend what just happened. The arm that had forcefully pulled me belonged to none other than Alpha Rick, the very person I had been desperately trying to avoid. Shock reverberated through my veins as I stood frozen, and terrified at the same time."What... what are you doing?" I managed to stammer, my voice trembling with fear.He regarded me with an unreadable expression before replying calmly, "Funny, I was just about to ask you the same thing."I thought for an excuse, any excuse to give and avoid the intimidating figure before me. "I was just taking a walk around."The piercing gaze he fixed upon me made it abundantly clear that he saw through my mind and knew I was lying to him. I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly turned dry with apprehension, before finally mustering the courage to speak the truth."No, I... I was going somewhere else," I admitted, my voice b
OLIVIA'S POVI was so excited that even Stella and Victory noticed how excited I was. I noticed how keen they've been watching me while I spread the king's clothes under the sun. Recalling how things had gone the previous night with Rick and I, how he genuinely confessed he couldn't stay without me, the tears in his eyes while he said those words and how sincere he was when he said he loved me so much.With all these memories, I couldn't get myself to stop smiling. “Let me guess, he agreed not to bother you again.” Stella guessed.I chuckled. “Not even close to that.” “There's no way she'll be smiling because of that.” Victory added. I paused to look at him, he was sounding like he knew the reasons behind my smile. “Both of them must have kissed. You know, that's the only thing that gets us thinking.”“Shut up, Victory. We didn't kiss.” I forced myself to stop laughing so he wouldn't think he guessed right.“Hey. Swear on the moon goddess that I'm lying.”I smiled childishly. “Yeah
