Chapter 28
Josh’s POV (right after he sends email)
I am taking my time beating the whore. I know she had something to do with the hunter’s daughter escaping.I don’t know why they think she is so powerful she looks so weak and pathetic. I know she beat 3 wolves in the ring today but she just cries all the time. I enjoyed sending him that email. I hope he is furious and if he is still the same person I have known for years he will let his pride, jealousy and anger get the best of him. I let Emilia beat her for a bit. I got the admit the way she took her anger out on her prey was kind of arousing. I stop her because the whore is falling unconscious.
A guard and I throw Ireland back in her cell. We are leaving when a blood curdling scream escapes her cell. We rush back
Chapter 29Oliver POVI squint my eyes opening them slightly. The bright light is hurting my eyes and my head. I groan from the pain. I hear someone rush to the bed. I turn to the side and I see Isabelle. She is smiling seductively at me. The memories of what happened come rushing back to me and a pain rushes to my chest. There is just this intense sense of emptiness it is so painful. I grab at my chest. I try to reach out to Finn in my mind but when I try to make contact all I can feel is immense pain coming from him.“Isabelle go see if the doctor can bring my son some medications.” My father’s voice startles me, it has never sounded so hard before. She nods her head and leaves. I look around and I see I am still in the Alpha and Luna room. I look toward my father and
Chapter 30Oliver POVI literally take the stairs 2 at a time. Everyone is following me up curious as to why I was running so fast. I get almost to the top of the stairs but what I hear next stops me in my tracks.“What the actually Fuck! What are you doing here?” The venom in Eriks voice sucks the air from my lungs.“I am waiting on Alpha! What are you doing here mutt?”I take the last steps and see him standing in the doorway. He is breathing heavily. I see him cradling Ireland in his arms. She looks so small, her hair has been brushed out and is flowing toward the ground. Her skin still shows bruising, her wrists look raw. They have dressed her in a flowing wh
Chapter 31Ireland POVImmense pain that is all I feel. I am surrounded by darkness. I want to scream out in pain but no sound leaves my lips. I curl up in darkness just screaming and crying. I can feel intense pain in my heart, it comes and goes. I don’t understand what is happening. Then all the sudden it stops and I am just left with emptiness. It surrounded me, it was deep inside me. I almost begged for the pain again. This was so much worse.All of the sudden I felt a comforting presence, I felt safe and protected. I tried to stand up and then my surroundings whipped around me all the colors blurring and changing. I was standing outside the cell and I could see my limp form in the arms of Erik. Why was Erik here, where was Oliver?
Chapter 322 months laterOliver POVI have not left the hospital unless it is entirely necessary. I only go to my office, occasionally eat with the pack. I do deal with pack matters but I sleep at the hospital. I want to be with her. Various members of the pack come and visit daily bringing flowers and gifts. My parents come several times a day as well as Erik and Evelyn have not left. Emilia visits frequently with permission from Alex and a guard but he has not changed his mind about the alliance. There have been several rogue attacks but luckily only some wounded no losses. I have not seen Alarick and Josh, though I suspect they are behind the attacks on the pack. Jackson and Jason have been an amazing Beta pair and I often question why my first c
Chapter 33Oliver POVThe meadow is beautiful today. There is a slight chill in the air signaling the beginning of Fall. I am just admiring the beauty surrounding me.“Oliver why are you staring at me?”“You're so beautiful and I am just so grateful that you are actually here with me. I am so glad you gave me another chance.”“Oliver….”“Just hear me out I didn’t deserve this chance but you gave me another one. I love you so much and I feel so dumb for wasting time fighting the way I felt. I really don’t deserve you. You are the best thing in my life. The pack is so happy and so much stronger
Chapter Thirty-FourIreland POVIt feels good to be back at the cabin, I miss this place. I don’t have to fear being here anymore. I am more prepared for them if they come than I have been in the past. It is uncomfortable dealing with the pull to go to him though. I need the timing to be right. I want to defeat Alaraick and Josh, I need to so I can heal. I will let my people know I am back and I will find a home for them.“Are you ok lollipop? it can’t be easy being back here.”“I don’t know for some reason it feels right. I missed this place. I even missed the pack and the people. I am not ready to see him yet but I am excited to see some of the pups and other people. I bet you're excited to tell Rose
Chapter Thirty Five-Ireland POVI had been so nervous today when I woke up. I changed my clothes 3 times wanting to look just right. I decided to braid my hair to the side to hide the worst scar on my neck. I had felt so sick to my stomach I was not able to eat. However now standing here in front of him I can’t let that show. “Good Afternoon Alpha.”Hurt flashes through his eyes and he doesn’t attempt to cover it. “Call me Oliver.”“That won’t be necessary Alpha Oliver. I won’t forget my place. This is not a social visit at this time.” I extend my hand toward him to shake. He grasps it and the tingles are still there but they are dull now. I don’t let him see that
Thirty Six-Ireland POVI take deep breaths after leaving Oliver’s office. It would be a lie to say he does not affect me. Just having his arms wrapped around me and his face pressed into my neck made me need a fresh pair of underwear. His smell was so intoxicating it did things to my head and to my body. I feel like I’m at battle with myself, part of me, the hurt part wants to forget all about him and make him pay. The other part of me who still believes that he was made for me wants me to run back to him and make him ours and forgive him for everything. Forgiving and forgetting are two very different things and I don’t know which side will win in the end. I second guess my decision to come here that is until I walk out of the pack house. I walk into the back yard and my heart is filled with so much joy watching my people intera
This journey for Ireland and Oliver is over. Thank you all for your support and love. Below is the first chapter of my book Living With His Mark. This will be Olivia's story. I hope you all enjoy! I will not mark this book as complete until all editing is complete.Chapter One-(Olivia POV)It’s days like today that I truly hate being a werewolf. My name is Olivia Silvers. I am the 19 year old daughter of Alpha Oliver and Luna Alpha Ireland. I have had an amazing upbringing despite my parents' early stressful beginning but I have always felt loved and I have two great packs who have always treated me well. I had never wanted for anything and despite my gifts and my family's gifts I have had no reason to not trust those around me. My parents always cautioned me and my brother to be careful who we trusted. I guess I never learned because here I am hating all that I am because I trusted the wrong wolf.
Chapter Sixty-Four Oliver POV (present time) I am sitting here watching the mating ceremony of Chris and Sophie trying to keep my eyes on anyone but her as she leads the ceremony. I can hear the subtle sadness in her voice and it pierces my heart. I want to run up there and hug her but I don’t deserve it. I know she would only push me away with disgust. I can’t control it when I look up at her as she talks about the sacredness of mates and the future of the pack. I don’t miss it as she subconsciously presses a hand to her now flat empty wound. My eyes drift to where her hand lays before I divert them again. I have been avoiding her both out of respect and fear. I don’t want to bring her anymore pain and fear of what words she may say to me. Many times I have wished I could go back in
Chapter Sixty-threeOliver POV(continued Flashback)I can’t believe what happened, my “chosen” Luna was just identified as my mate's chosen Alpha mate. This has to be some sort of sick joke. I am angry at how Ireland ran off after him. Does she really love him so much that she would go to be with him after he found his mate? Then again I didn’t choose my mate in the beginning and I made so many mistakes. My mother and I have been trying to calm Sophie down. Evelyn has come and got Olivia so she didn’t have to see the breakdown.“He’s...he’s gonna reject me. My mate is going to reject me.”“Dear now we don’t know
Chapter Sixty-TwoIreland POVIt’s been a long 3 months and I can’t help the butterflies I feel in my stomach as I get ready for the ceremony. This ceremony has really been long overdue trying to prepare for night through all the challenges. A soft knock on the door interrupts me from my thoughts, I go answer the door and engulfed into a big hug. I pull back and a soft smile reaches my lips as I look at the smile on Chris’s face.“You ready for tonight?”“Never been more ready for anything.”“I’ll see you down there.” Chris responds then hugs me again and places a quick kiss on my forehead before retreating from the doorway.&nb
Chapter Sixty-One Ireland POV I couldn’t help but feel guilty about what happened yesterday afternoon. I am supposed to be pledging myself to Chris in just a few days but I let Oliver kiss me and I let my mind think things could get better. I let myself think that maybe there could be a life together for us. It was just a brief minute that I allowed these thoughts to invade my mind but they still did before that she-wolf ran up and hugged and kissed him. Chris does not deserve for me to think about a life with someone else he has always been there for me more so than my ex mate. I felt so guilty here I am right after breakfast making him his favorite Lemon blueberry pound cake for after lunch. I wasn’t even able to look him in the eye during breakfast. He hasn’t pressed a
Chapter Sixty- Ireland POV Well I guess the truth is out. He deserves to know the truth but I feel so defensive I can’t imagine that this would go well right now with emotions so high. I look at him on his knees looking so vulnerable and I approach him slowly. I have this need to comfort him and I don’t know why. Before I can reach him he looks up at me with so much anger in his eyes “EXPLAIN!” The anger in his eyes sets me off. He has no room to be angry. If anyone has any reason to be angry it is me. “What do you need explained?” I seeth back. “FUCK IRELAND! Everything needs to be explained. Is she mine and how is that possible and why did you hide it from me.” “Lower your voice.” I
Chapter 59- Ireland POV “I see Belle is back to arguing with you again.” Jason chuckles “Well Jay you know she always likes her opinions known.” I let out a small laugh. I looked around the room. Erik had a guilty look on his face and Jackson and Jason were just looking at me. Oliver however just continued staring in the direction that Chris had left. An unreadable emotion showed on his face. “Alpha Oliver, I apologize for that. Chris will be back shortly.” He just nods slightly, turning his gaze back to me. Chris entered the room wrapping his arms around me from behind resting large hands on my pregnant belly. He kissed me lightly on the cheek. I couldn’t stop myself from looking over to Alpha Oliver who now had his head hanging l
Chapter Fifty-Eight Oliver POV Two Weeks Later When I had returned from my run that night after hours of Finn howling at the moon, I found Sophie in the living room gripping the letter I had dropped when I ran. I was surprised to find her even more eager to meet this Alpha Ireland who had so unselfishly sacrificed herself to save her people and mine. She held me while I cried again telling her the story about my mate and everything I had done. Sophie had never judged me for trying to kidnap Ireland all those times or for how I felt. She admitted that she herself was developing feelings for me though rather slowly and thought it best we start as friends. She encouraged me to reach out and to go to the ceremony to see if Ireland was truly happy now so I could let go. She
Chapter Fifty-Seven Erik POV The fighting has officially ended, I was able to capture Evelyn’s father without injury even though he put up a good fight. The joy in both his and my mates faces when they saw each other was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. He met with Ireland and pledged his loyalty and his hunters to her for what she did saving his daughter. He was excited to meet his grandson. I dreaded leaving them but I needed to check on Ireland and Chris they went to the pack hospital to check on Alpha Oliver. I am approaching the hospital when I see all hell breaking loose. “Throw the traitorous Bitch in the dungeon!” I look at Oliver barely walking out of the hospital pointing at Ireland. Jackson and Jason are trying their best to talk sense into him. The g
