RAVEN'S POVI couldn't shake off the feeling knowing she had spent the entire night crying. Even without watching her, I could feel the pain from my office. I stared at the kids, watching how they peacefully slept. Never had I thought I'd become a father, to talk of having two kids at a time.Olivia just made everything seem possible for me, now I can spend my entire night knowing I've got responsibilities as a father and not just as a husband. What made me more excited was how close they were to me, notwithstanding the fact that I wasn't there to watch them grow this big.But then it's Olivia, I could feel the pain getting worse. I get it, I understand how she feels. The feeling that comes when we are betrayed by the people we love, the people we thought loved us more than ever. I once caused her that pain, and now that bastard just did worse.It's definitely gonna take her a long time to heal.****When morning came, I went to check on her. I pushed the door open only to meet her si
OLIVIA'S POV“And you, you will regret ever knowing him. You will cry just like I have, and you will curse the day you ever met him.” These were the words Anna said to me on the very day Rick and I agreed to our feelings.At that time, I thought she had said those words out of anger. I thought she had said those because of her hatred for me, but then, after what Beta Ares told me last night, I realized every single word Anna kept throwing at me then we're the truth.Here I am, crying out my eyes twice as she did. Like... the whole thing still sounds new to me. After all those moments, after all those promises, after all the confessions, Rick still had the mind to sell me off just for some stupid power?And I thought that the bastard loved me so much. Here I was thinking he was the only man who understood my feelings, but then... he was of no difference. Could it be that he has been acting all nice because he wanted the gem? So the only way to have it was to work hard to win my heart?
OLIVIA'S POVI walked to the dining room without anyone to assist me. I still had the memories of everywhere, each place I pass through reminds me of those times, and all I could do was smile."Good morning, Your Majesty." The guards at the door bowed their heads. I was shocked and speechless for a moment, was it that Raven had asked them to call me that?"How was your night?" I asked with a smile, hiding how shocked I was."Very well, milady. And yours?" They asked back."Same here." They opened the door to let me in. All eyes turned to me, and that includes Raven, Beta Ares and Sophia. They were both surprised, excluding Raven since he already knew I was coming. "I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting. Hope I ain't late?" I smiled, and it grew broader when my gaze met with Sophia. She had an angry look on her face, but she couldn't spit the words out.It was three against one, and she does know the outcome.I made myself comfortable on the empty seat kept for me. I could feel Rave
OLIVIA'S POV The case has been on for days now, two days to be precise. Rick has been sending letters upon letters, demanding to have me back. I grew scared because I knew my absence from Rick, and my presence with Raven was going to cause more harm than good."If this keeps going on, then it's time I should leave this place for good. I don't want my presence here to be the reason why you will have war against the Silver Stone Pack." I concluded.Raven looked at me with disbelief, shocked to hear what I had said. "Tell me you are joking." He asked me with all seriousness, trying to figure out if I was being serious or not."I am serious, Raven. It's me Rick wants and not you. And the only way to avoid whatever he is up to is to leave.""No you are not leaving." He said almost immediately. "I don't care what Rick is up to, and I am ready to face him however he wants it. But as far as I am concerned, you are remaining here with me." "Raven..." I tried to talk but he interrupted. "Not
RAVEN'S POV"Mate." My wolf growled the moment her eyes turned golden. "My mate has awoken." I was left shocked, my eyes widened in bewilderment. Had she been hiding the wolf in her for a long time? Or had it woken up just now out of anger?Everything felt like it was all in my imagination. I couldn't tell, but every second, Olivia kept surprising me. She kept doing things that made me love her the most. I had lost hope in her wolf, and I already made up my mind to keep living with that fact and not to pay much attention to it as long as I have her to myself.But then, she proved me wrong. She made me know she had that inner wolf in her that doesn't disappoint, and that made me smile within, knowing I wasn't alone after all. After Rick had gone, she ran up to the room to cry. I could tell from her that she was in pain, and it hurt me to see her cry. That was one thing for sure I hated, her tears were my weakness, and it pulled me down to nothing. I wanted to see her, I desperately w
OLIVIA'S POV I felt light weighted the moment he kissed me. It's as if everything is gone. My burdens, my pains, the haunting thoughts... every damn single thing, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for having him once again.He had to skip work today, spending it with the kids. I stood by the window, watching them play, watching them smile. And this was something Rick never did with the kids. I've never seen them this happy whenever he was around them, I've never seen them jump on him like they did to Raven.Sometimes I just ask myself if I've been living a fool of myself all those while. Trying to keep the kids away from their father and yet, nothing changed. Instead, they grew to love him even more. It's all like a dream to me, after a whole year, I never thought I'd come back to the man who once rejected me, now craving to have me.I never thought I'd one day conceive a child to talk of children for him. I never saw it happen that we'd end up being together as lovers, having gi
RAVEN'S POV"From my suggestion, I think it's time the Alpha King tells us his intentions concerning the issue at hand." I raised my eyebrows in confusion, staring at the elder who had said that."What issue is at hand?" I asked, my thoughts were mixed, trying to figure out what exactly he was talking about. Was he referring to the case with Rick and I? Or was there something else going on and I am not aware of it?They all exchanged glances, like whatever he was going to discuss had been discussed within them. "Will someone say something, or should I pretend like we never had this conversation?" My voice was a bit harsh."Don't take it too personal, sir." The elder apologized. "We only want to understand why the Alpha King has two women living under his roof. One who turned out to be his ex and another who is his wife, but then it seems that both women mean a lot to the Alpha King. So, we just want to know who our Luna is, and who isn't."I laughed. They would look at me and exchange
SOPHIA'S POVAfter making up my mind, I went to Raven's office. He was busy with the paperwork and immediately I walked in, he paused for a while, staring up at me with a small smile on his face. Then he asked me if there was a problem.I smiled at him, trying to make sure it was convincing enough for him to know that everything was really alright. I nodded, then replied. "Yes, everything is alright.""If you say so. Is there something you want to discuss?" He was being calm and over nice, like he used to when we newly got married. I was already missing those moments when Raven was the Raven I knew."Yes." I answered."Okay, I'm listening.""It's concerning my parents. My mom called, she said dad wasn't feeling fine and he's been in the hospital for two days now." I wasn't so good at lying, but this was just enough to get away from here and have my plans achieved."What's wrong with him?" He asked, his voice held a soft tone of concern. "Is it that serious?" I was close to ruining my
