DANTE’S POV"Are you okay?" I asked Olivia, noticing the tension in her expression when she came back from the restroom. She was looking around nervously, and there was a sheen of sweat on her forehead."Yeah, I'm fine," she said, a fake smile plastered on her face. But I could tell she was not being honest."You're acting a little off," I said, trying to sound casual. "Are you sure you're okay?"“Yeah I am fine, why do you ask?” she asked me, widening the smile on her face which concealed how tense she looked before.“You don't look comfortable, tell me what it is about. I will listen to you,” I assured her.Olivia hesitated, then finally blurted out, "Can we just leave? I don't really feel like being here anymore."“You are suddenly asking that we should leave when we didn't get to do everything we came here for,” I said to her.“Oh, about that. I want us to visit other places.I think it's getting late, I don't want you getting exposed to how cold it's going to be at night,” she sa
Olivia's POV. My eyes beheld Charlotte and I felt like ripping her head off with my claws. I might not have the power to shift but I could certainly use my claws in making various horrible designs. She walked up to me and Dante with a fake and annoying smile on her lips. "Dante." She smiled at him. "I'm glad that you came, I thought you would ghost this meeting like you do the others. Mateo told me." "Mateo told you the truth, I wouldn't have come if this meeting wasn't mandatory," Dante responded with a smile. " It's nice seeing you." He added. Charlotte tore her gaze from him to me, she stared at me and though she was smiling, I could see the disdain behind it. "You came." She said, looking at me from head to toe. I didn't bother responding, I simply walked past her. I heard Dante apologizing to her but I didn't care. I continued walking towards the mansion that we were headed to before she stupidly stopped us and ruined my mood with her presence. "Olivia." I heard Dante c
Olivia's POV."Olivia, do you understand me?" Dante asked."Yes, I won't say anything. Thanks for the heads up." I flashed a smile at him.He smiled back and muttered; "You should wear red lipstick more often, it suits you so well."My cheeks grew more heated and must have reddened deeply."Thank you." I didn't know why his compliments meant so much to me but they did.My wolf loved being around him, she liked his voice and when he said nice things to us. I wish I could shift, so he might also be amazed by her beauty. I wondered how my wolf would look if I ever shifted."Let's go." He whispered and took me with him.We left the mansion and went to another that must be where the dinner was being held.When I entered the huge mansion, it was beautiful but wasn't a match for Dante's mansion.Dante's mansion had this unique beauty that I doubted I would find in other places.While looking around, I didn't realize when we reached the dining room. As I lowered my gaze from the ceiling, the
Olivia's Pov“She's most likely an orphan herself… No parents and no idea who they were or where she really came from,” Mateo curled, spiteful. His eyes glanced at me and then facing forward. I could see it in his eyes that he wanted to speak. I could tell he was ready to open his mouth and let jarring words fly. I could sense he was ready, and stood more than willing to let everyone at this meeting know about the past that we shared together. But I could also sense a strange restraint?... My heart was in my mouth but I could feel him holding back?.I was afraid he would tell everyone and cause an uproar, but I could see his pupils dilate and a half smirk creep up at the edge of his mouth as he stared at me. As he set his lips again to speak, but then clicked his tongue and fell silent. Turning his gaze away from me completely and taking his seat. With Dante's family members starting off exclamations and murmuring in response to his previous words.And I suddenly became tense, as I
Dante's POV My eyes communicated more than a million words could ever, the shock I felt on seeing her. I was so surprised that I almost fell off my own feet as she leaned against the wall like a drunk having a hangover. My racing heart falling to the floor and then flying to my mouth as my anxiety heightened and I almost fell faint right then and there. I didn't know why I was so worried yet I knew why. As my thoughts stood running around in a maze, analyzing different possibilities of what could've happened.I stood there motionless with my hands by my side, folded into fists, not in anger; at least not yet, but in trying to get a hold of myself enough to process the situation. As I was here standing in the middle of an alleyway not far away from the mansion I had brought Olivia to for a meeting. And here she was leaning over out of breath and exasperated. Her dress rumpled and drawn down from her shoulders on one side, revealing her bra and part of her breasts. Her hair slightly
Olivia's POV.Last night we shared our first kiss and I couldn't deny that it was the most affectionate thing that we had ever done. His lips were so soft and the tingling feeling it gave me was so adorable to remember.I stared at the ceiling, recalling every bit of the kiss. It had been replaying in my mind before I slept and since I awakened. Call me crazy but I think my heart was getting drawn to Dante.It's happening too soon and a little faster than I expected but even my wolf was craving to be by his side.I wanted to inhale that beautiful scent that made me feel this calmness that I hadn't felt in a long time. I needed to look into those beautiful eyes of his.My cheeks heated and turned red as I kept thinking about his handsome face. Such an alluring werewolf.He was a typical and perfect description of an Alpha male. Even in silence, he had the dominance."Goodness, what's wrong with me?" I gasped breathlessly and my hands went to my warm cheeks. "I'm blushing like crazy. Ho
Olivia's POV.As the water closed over my head for the second time. I panicked and gasped, causing the frigid water to enter my mouth.I didn't want to swallow it but I had to breathe. So, I gulped the cold water down my throat and it caused a chilled feeling in my lungs.Once again, I managed to bring out my head from the water."Help!"My eyes caught Leonardo but before I could see what he was trying to do, the water covered my face again and this time I couldn't hold my breath.As I tried breathing, more water entered my mouth and nostrils. My hands couldn't lift anymore and I felt my body sinking.It seemed like no one was going to save me.As I slowly lost myself and my eyes closed, I felt a hand wrap around my waist and pull me up.But before I could be brought from the water, I slipped into unconsciousness. I don't know how long I was out but I jerked out of my unconscious state, coughing water.I gasped for air and looked around in confusion. Then, I noticed that I was in some
OLIVIAI opened my eyes as the rays of the sunlight penetrated through my eyelids. As I sat up, I rubbed my eyes and looked around to find the room empty. I checked the time on the wall clock and saw it was already 8 am. I had slept two more hours than my normal waking time and I sighed, guessing I had been too tired from the event of the previous day.As my mind wandered, I remembered Dante was supposed to be in the room with me. He hardly leaves me alone until I wake you from my sleep. “Where might he be?” I wandered and got up to head to the bathroom, it was then my eyes caught a suitcase and there were already a few clothes neatly folded in it.“Was Dante traveling? Or are we already going back to our villa?” I wondered, he didn't tell me about it last night. As I was bawling in confusion, the door opened to reveal Dante who walked in.“Good morning Olivia,” he greeted rather plainly which made me feel bad, thinking he was still angry about our argument the other day.“Good mornin
Author's pov "No!" Olivia's answered flatly. "I don't understand, no what?" Carlos asked her feeling surprised. "No, I will not marry you!" Olivia repeated with a note of finality in her voice."Why can't you marry me?" Carlos asked her feeling hurt by the constant rejection he was always getting from Olivia. "Look Carlos, I have told you before that there is no space for love in my heart right now, I appreciate your friendship and your help and concern but you see anything more than pure platonic friendship, I don't want it." Olivia asserted. Carlos worries about the rejection like a mask on his face. He could not hide it and it hurt him badly but he still tried to convince Olivia knowing fully well that there was nothing more that he was going to say that would change her mind."See Olivia, this is not even about love or marriage, this goes beyond yourself, you have to think of your child here..." Carlos tried explaining. "That's exactly what I am doing! Everything I am doing
Author's POV.Olivia was about to take a sip of the juice when her boss suddenly flung the glass from her hand.The glass of orange juice fell to the floor and shattered. Olivia flinched and stared at her boss in shock and confusion."Why did you do that?" Olivia asked.Her boss heaved a sigh of relief and shook her head."Nothing," She replied."I don't understand, you must have done that for a reason," Olivia muttered, a bit suspicious of her behavior. "I added some brown sugar which isn't too natural...and I don't know if you are allergic to it. Since you are an omega, you could be prone to different allergies and I didn't want to give you something that would make you more sick," Her boss lied. Olivia never thought she could harm her, so didn't suspect her intentions further. "Oh okay," Olivia beamed at her. "I'm not allergic to anything. I can eat whatever I have but thank you for your concern," Her boss forced a smile on her lips and nodded. "Let me clean this up," Olivia s
Author's POV.When Carlos left Olivia's room, she felt a little relieved that he was going to take her place. Although she was still bothered about her boss' reaction, she didn't want to overthink it.Olivia let out a heavy sigh and slowly closed her eyes to sleep. As she was about to get drawn into utter darkness, a knock came on the door interrupting her sleep.She flinched a little and snapped her eyes open. She rubbed her eyes gently, feeling bewildered by the knock."Come in,"The door creaked open and Olivia saw her boss walking into her room. Her eyes bulged in surprise and she quickly sat up despite the dizziness that immediately overwhelmed her."Oh," She whimpered, taking her hand to her head."Hey, why did you get up like that?" her boss asked with a forced smile on her lips."Ma'am, I'm sorry for not working. I am not feeling well and the pregnancy is taking a toll on me. I know that I have no right to rest and expect a payment but please pity me," Olivia said in one breat
Author's POV. The next morning wasn't the best for Olivia. She had been feeling nauseous since she awakened and the dizziness she felt was stopping her from leaving the bed. Despite attempting to stand several times, she was weakened each time by the dizziness."My head hurts," Olivia lamented, taking her hand to her forehead. "Why is it hurting this bad, gosh!" she complained.She placed her other hand on her stomach and rubbed it gently."Baby, give Mommy a little rest," Olivia pleaded. "I can't work like this, my boss is angry enough. I don't want her to get more annoyed with me," Olivia muttered and turned restlessly in bed.As she faced the wall, Dante came to her mind."I'm sure that he's enjoying his life, while I'm here suffering," She uttered thoughtlessly, but then she remembered how sick Dante was.She suddenly became worried about his health and how he had been faring since she left him. A part of her felt guilty for leaving him in that state but her mind was telling h
Author's pov "What?" Olivia exclaimed, surprised by what her boss had just suggested."You heard me right, you cannot keep the baby!" Her boss insisted."And why is that? Why would you suggest such a wicked act that I should kill an innocent baby." Olivia bemoaned."Olivia, you have to be reasonable! You are in no position to keep a baby! Who would take care of the baby? How will you feed and clothe the baby? Do you think taking care of a newborn baby is a walk in the park? You can barely even fend for yourself and now you want to add another mouth to feed? And what if the worst happens and you end up giving birth to twins or triplets?" Her boss asked Olivia trying to reason with her.Olivia thought about what her boss had just told her for some time and tried to consider it but then she put her hands on her stomach and gasped. How could she think of doing that to an innocent baby who did nothing wrong?"No! I will not! I will keep my baby, even if I have to beg to feed myself and th
Author's pov "What? I don't get it, you want us to kill Dante?" Anna asked Mateo in shock. "Yes and also to take over his properties," Mateo answered nonchalantly. "So when we succeed in killing Dante, who is going to take over his properties?" Anna asked Mateo."What kind of stupid question is that? Who else would it be if not me?" Mateo asked Anna back and it was clear that he was beginning to get irritated by the question. "So what happens to me and my son? What would be our share in it?" Anna asked, choosing to ignore Mateo's irritation. She was fighting for her and her son's future so she was not ready to act soft and naive before Mateo. Anna knew that Dante did not love her nor did he come to trust her but she knew that she and her son's future was more secure with Dante than with Mateo whom she had come to know as a very selfish and self-centered person. She was not ready to risk her and her son's bright and settled future to please someone as condescending and disrespect
Author's pov Olivia burst into tears in the restroom. She wished and hoped that she was not pregnant."God, I can't deal with a pregnancy this period and at this point in my life, where will I see the financial resources to take care of a child?" Olivia asked herself as she continued crying. Olivia had always loved children and she would always say that children are special blessings given to them by the moon goddess but Olivia knew that having a baby at this point in her life would not be a blessing but was going to be a burden to her. "Please moon goddess, please let it not be what I think it is, please, you cannot be more cruel to me in this life than you already are to me." Olivia prayed silently in tears to the moon goddess hoping that her prayers would be heard and the moon goddess would have mercy upon her but deep down inside of her, she already knew her true situation. Carlos noticed that Olivia had been in the restroom for quite a long time and he was beginning to becom
Author's POV.Dante was shocked to learn that the child was his own, he never expected Cooper to be his child. But since the medical result has said so, he had no other choice but to accept it."Alright, doctor, thank you." Dante smiled and shook hands with him.Anna smiled secretly, feeling happy that Dante had finally fallen into her trap. She will be living a perfect life after today.She remembered how loving Dante used to be, though he was harsh now, he must still have that good side to him. She would finally enjoy it while her son would attend the best school and live a good life.She finally had what she dreamed of.Once the doctor left, Dante heaved a sigh and turned to Anna, who smiled at him."I told you that Cooper was your son. I would never lie to you. I can't pin my child on another man, just because of my needs." Anna smiled and reached for his hands."I know that you've never really liked me but I want to ask you if you would fulfill the condition that I gave you?" Ann
Author's pov Jane was startled to see Diego behind but she quickly comported herself and smiled sheepishly at him. She didn’t know when he showed up but she was sure he didn’t catch on anything."Hello Diego, longest time, I guess you have finally remembered me today." Jane said smiling at Diego but Diego was not Impressed with whatever nonsense she had to say. His face remained grim as he didn’t even listen to what she was saying."Who were you talking to?" Diego asked looking stern and without a single smile on his face. He knew she was up to something, she was so suspicious and had been since she showed up in Dante’s life."I don't understand, why are you asking me that kind of question?" Jane asked Diego, rolling her eyes. She was nervous that Diego had caught on something but she didn’t want to show it."Because I am a Beta and you are just a mere omega which means that I have a higher rank than you and so I have the right to ask you whatever questions that I feel like asking."
