OLIVIA'S POV~ONE YEAR LATER~"Stay with me for a year and serve me faithfully, and I will set you free." I haven't forgotten that deal. And the funniest part is that we ended up falling in love with each other even before we got to half of the year. I thought he had forgotten about his deal not until he asked me. "I made you a deal, it's time I kept my words. It's your choice, Olivia. Do you wish to stay or leave? At this point, I won't stop you."But it was too late to go, especially now I was in love with him."I wish to stay with you for the rest of my life." "Olivia... You don't...""I already made up my mind the very day I fell in love with you, and I ain't going back on my words."*****However, Rick had been trying every means to get us married, but in one way or the other, fate kept playing games with us. It's either we get attacked by a rival pack, or Rick is called upon for an important meeting that would take about three to five days of his time.But all thanks to the p
RAVEN'S POVI sat on my desk, staring confusedly at the laptop before me. I had no idea what I was doing, for some reason I felt disturbed. I gave myself a minute to think what was wrong, but my mind couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.“Come on, Raven, you need to think.” I gently slapped my forehead as if that would help.Just as I tried to concentrate, a knock came on the door. The first thing I wished was for it not to be Sophia, right now, she was the least thing I ever want to get myself bothered about. The two days we haven't spoken to each other felt reassuring, and more of peace of mind.“Come in.” The door gently pushed open. It was my Beta.“What's the matter?” I asked.“We received a letter from an unknown identity. It's written specifically for the Alpha King.” I couldn't even focus on the work before me, now someone wants me to read a god-damn letter? “I'm not interested, I'll go through it later. Just drop it over there.”“Sir, I think this letter is important.”I looked
OLIVIA'S POVExcitement bubbled within me like champagne fizzing in a glass. Today was the day I had dreamed of for a long time. It felt like eternity just to pass through yesterday to get today. I couldn't even get myself to sleep despite how hard I tried. Nature was there, but the excitement was boundless.I never thought I'd finally give into Rick, the man I've always hated since the day he took me in. I never even thought he'd end up loving me either. To be frank, all these still feel like a dream to me. I hate to admit, sometimes I feel guilty for taking Rick away from Anna, and most times I don't.Besides, she caused it all. If she hadn't been so nagging and pooky in my life, Rick wouldn't have grown fade up of her. He wouldn't have seen reasons to hate her. But then it's all done, and there is no changing the past. Today, it's gonna be Rick and I, the man who has captured my heart completely. I couldn't help but steal glances at the bridal gown, the expensive lace and shimmeri
OLIVIA'S POVHis eyes blazed like dark gray fire, piercing right into mine, taking my breath away as he stepped towards me.“What are you doing here, Raven?” I gritted my teeth, anger surged inside of me. “You shouldn't be here.”“If I don't show up, how will the wedding go successfully?” He still had the annoying smirk on his face, and I wish I could slap it off.“It was going perfectly fine without you, and you can as well leave this place this instant. We don't need you here.”“No, you do.”“I don't. But if you want to witness our union, then you can as well do yourself some favor and sit like the others are.”As he made a step forward to me, Rick held my hand, pulling me to his side. “You heard her, Raven, go make yourself comfortable with the crowd.” He looked at Rick, “Olivia is my fiancee…”“Was.” He corrected him. “Now, she is my wife. Besides, I wasn't the one who asked you to reject her, was I? I found her at the moment she needed help, while you squandered your life with y
OLIVIA'S POVThe night was spent successfully, everyone had left for their homes filled. Rick really made the night a grand one. I ate to my satisfaction, Rick even had to force me to eat more and for the first time he said I looked skinny to his liking.I frowned but he found my countenance funny though he meant the words when he said I was skinny to his liking. I had to prove to him that I wasn't skinny, so I ate more than my belly could contain. “You should have eaten a little.” Stella warned.“I wanted to prove Rick wrong that I ain't skinny as he thinks. I'm perfectly fine.”“Well, your belly looks obese.” She laughed.“I can feel it too.” I chuckled.*****I woke up to see Rick staring at me. The smile on his face made me smile even though I had no reason why he was smiling.“You're awake.” “Hey. Good morning.” I whispered.“Good morning,” he leaned to kiss me. “How was your night?”“Was fine. Though, I still feel heavy.”He laughed hard. “What? I was just trying to prove to
RAVEN'S POVI sat on my desk, thinking and rethinking all that had happened at the wedding. Olivia had humiliated me right before the crowd. She dared to downgrade me? As if that wasn't enough, she took me for granted. What the fuck does that even mean?I slammed my fist on the table, my wolf growled. It was twice as angry as I was. The humiliation did hit the core, and I doubt she realized how hurtful those words were to me. "I'm an Alpha for goddess's sake, I deserve my fucking respect!" I yelled as if she were standing right at my front. Does it mean she hated me that much? I know I did hurt her, but there's got to be a place in her heart that still yearns for me, right? There's got to be somewhere in her heart that wants me back, right?Shit!I've lived with Sophia for a year now and I've never wanted her as much as I wanted Olivia, even after I realized she was my mate, a part of me still craved for Olivia but I fought to suppress the feelings. Surprisingly, it came back, and I
RAVEN'S POVJust as I walked in to take a rest from the day's work, Sophia walked in as if she'd been waiting at one corner for me to enter. “Raven, we need to talk.” She said with authority.“No, we don't.”“And why is that?” She questioned.“Because I want to rest.”“You are not dodging from this conversation, Raven. I've been tolerating you for so long, and I'm not doing that again. Tonight, we must have this conversation right now whether you like it or not!” She insisted as a matter of fact.“Okay, keep talking. When you're done, don't forget to shut the door after you. Goodnight.” I laid on my bed, closing my eyes.“You dare not sleep while I am talking to you, Raven.” I ignored her. “Raven, you must wake up or else I ain't leaving this room.”I still ignored her. I felt if I didn't respond to her she'd leave and let me be, but she didn't act like she was leaving any second from now. “Fine, since you have refused to say something, then we'll both sleep here.”Did she just say
RAVEN'S POVI couldn't get myself to sleep last night, the roaming thoughts in my head wouldn't let nature take over. I kept turning from one side to another, nothing was working. The night breeze did help matters, but I couldn't force myself to sleep.I don't know if it's because of Sophia, or just the fact that it was impossible for me to have Olivia back to myself.“Rick, it's me, Ares. Can I come in?” he requested.“Come in.” I permitted and he walked in. “Any news?”“No.” He shook his head. “Well, I just want to discuss something with you.” I raised an eyebrow. “It's not too important but… it's worth the time.”I relaxed my brow, giving him a listening ear. “Fine. I'm listening.”“It's concerning Her Majesty, she seems troubled for your sake.”I furrowed my brows again. “She complained to you about me?”“I wouldn't say she complained though, I'd rather say she was only worried why you stopped acknowledging her. And the number of times you keep giving her cold feet. Well… she does
