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
OLIVIA'S POVWe spent a successful two weeks together with Zender and Zendaya being less disturbing to us. Rick drove us back home, and we were all welcomed by everyone in the pack house.I enjoyed our honeymoon so far. At least we had more of our peace of mind, less worries, and more love shared. “Hope you had fun?” Rick asked me.“I had more than fun. Thanks for being a part of my life.” Surprisingly, Rick didn't waste time, he started his day work. Thanks to Stella who came to keep me company. “I can see the happiness in you.” Stella smiled as she sat beside me. “How did the honeymoon go?” The question alone lightened me, I couldn't hold back the smile on my face. “It went pretty well. Rick and I, we spent so much time together. I never knew how much Rick loved me until then. To be frank, he was one in a million.”“Aww. That's a deep confession. How about Zender and Zendaya, I hope they didn't bother you guys a lot?”“Not really. They were both calm, all thanks to the moon godde
RAVEN'S POVI used a different number to send her a text message to meet up with me at the coffee shop. I knew that wasn't a strong way to get her out, but I wouldn't want to get ourselves embarrassed before everyone.Surprisingly, she texted back. “Who is this, please?”“Just a friend. Couldn't make it to your wedding, so I wanna make it up to you.”“Thanks but, I'll love to know who the hell I'm chatting with before I show myself out.” That was a bit rude, but worth it.I couldn't risk texting her my name, that's definitely the end of it and totally a waste of time. But then, there was nothing I could tell her to make her show up. Maybe, I should just go ahead and tell her the truth?“It's me, Raven.”What I got in response was actually what I expected, and seeing the middle finger emoji got me laughing.Then she sent a message. “You shouldn't be anywhere here, asshole. You better go back where you came from because I ain't leaving this place for your sake.”“I just want us to talk,
RAVEN'S POVWhy do I feel like those kids are mine? Why do I feel like they belong to me? Like a part of me once lost, was back. I could feel it. I could feel the connection when they were next to me, even when the little boy touched my cheek, there was this feeling that left him to mine. It was cold but strong.I could tell even from their eyes that they were my kids. They had the same eye color as mine, and the resemblance on their faces was obviously clear. I slapped my forehead. “Am I overthinking? Or is it just my desperate desire for a child that makes me think they are my kids?”No! They are. I know what I felt, even their scent felt familiar to me, like I've met them somewhere. Yes! I had, in my dream last year, when I saw Olivia with kids. They are the kids I saw.But why? Why would she act like they aren't mine? Because she hates me, I know. And when she mentioned them to belong to Rick, something in me didn't want me to believe her. Something in me kept screaming that she
