Chapter Thirty-Nine-
Oliver POV
“Luna” I turn my head to see Ireland walking by after exiting the packhouse, look at Isabelle and greet her. If looks could kill Isabelle would be dead. She then continues to walk quickly to a White Jeep with no roof or doors parked off to the side. I see her jump into the drivers side with Chris in the passenger seat. She pulls out quickly without a glance back at us. I can’t stop the annoyance that bubbles up at seeing them leave together.
“Oh no Oliver you didn’t tell her about me?”
“I honestly didn’t have time and to be honest it hasn’t been my focus.”
“You have no idea what you have done?”
Chapter 40-Ireland’s POVMy eyelids feel heavy as I force them open, thankful that the light in the room is dim. I grunt as I try to move myself to a sitting position realizing I am in a bed. I see movement in the room and realize I am in my room. I see Erik and Chris close to the bed, Lilly is off to the side, Zander behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist, Elder Rose sat in a chair near the bed and in the far corner in the room stood Oliver head down in the shadows.Elder Rose spoke first “my dear sweetheart tell us what happened?”I turned to her, “I was coming back to my room when I saw…” The words catch in my throat. Chris hands me a glass of water, I take a few drinks. “Any way I saw
Chapter Forty one-Erik POVIf I could kill him without causing her any pain then I would do it without hesitation. He has her staying in her old room and then he obviously does not tell her about Isabelle. When I heard that lil wolf call her Luna Isabelle I thought I could turn right there and rip his throat out. He really made that worthless former mate of mine his Luna. Well I guess they deserve each other. I don’t know why I had listened to Jason and Jackson when they would tell me how much he changed. I was actually hopeful and rooting for him. I had been waiting for the right time to approach the topic of forgiveness with Ireland. I pick up the chair in my grandmother's dining room and throw it at the wall effectively breaking it into pieces.“Erik are you okay bab
Chapter 42Oliver POV“OLIVER!!!!! NOOO!!!!” those words falling from her lips in a scream have me on my knees. She wants him to hold her, that is what I think I feel like my heart is breaking. I go to stand and leave feeling completely unwanted. However when I look out at her I see she is asleep, screaming and trying to pull out of Chris’s gasp. I immediately became angry that she was trying to get away from him.“Let her go!” I said quietly seething not wanting to wake her.“I can’t”“I said let her go!”“I can’t you don’t understand.”
Chapter 43-Ireland POVFriends! Did I really agree to be his friend? I am growling at myself internally as I tie my tennis shoes. I have to admit hearing that I was not replaced with that crazy Isabelle and hearing him call me his Luna almost had me jumping onto him and accepting him. I can’t however I am afraid this all due to guilt and not love. I have so many insecurities when it comes to him. I have put my guard down before and all I did was get hurt. I look down and look at my chest, the faint scratches a reminder of just how bad this man can hurt me. I let out a deep breath and throw on a loose V-neck t-shirt before looking at the clock and seeing that I have just 5 minutes to be out for training and take off running out of my room to the training field throwing my hair in a messy bun.
Chapter Forty Four-Ireland POVI had to leave the room after my conversation with Oliver the way he was looking at me had me wanting to strip down naked and beg him to take my body. I have spent hours in therapy to help me feel comfortable with becoming intimate again and comfortable with myself. However when I am around Oliver I feel like the counseling was unnecessary as I don’t think of all the things they did to me. I just think about him erasing all of it with his touch maybe it is a mate thing. I feel like I am constantly fighting myself to stop myself from throwing myself at him, I wish I could trust my feelings and or trust Oliver for that matter.I hear him enter the bathroom and the shower start pouring so I quickly begin to get dressed. I noticed that some of
Chapter Forty- FiveOliver POV-It’s been a few weeks with us trying to be friends and the more I get to know her the more I feel like a fool for ever thinking there was someone better out there for me. I can hear her singing in her room. I can’t help but stop to listen. I have learned she often sings what she is feeling. Right now she is singing “I Hate This” by Tenille Arts. I listen to the words of the song carefully god I hope she is singing those for me. It is just 4 days til the full moon festivities start. The visiting packs will be coming which means that Isabelle will also visit. I need to make sure to talk with Ireland before that happens. I don’t want her to be caught off guard again. Plus I need to work up the courage to ask her to be my date for the ball. I hope she will accept she has been
Chapter 46-Ireland POV “Noo please baby come back please.” I hear these words over and over while I am surrounded by darkness. I just keep walking toward the sound of Oliver's voice. I feel like I am walking forever. I keep trying to call out to him letting him know I am coming but I can’t even hear my own voice just him.All of the sudden the darkness is gone and I am back by that beautiful waterfall. Lying on the ground next to me sleeping is Belle. I reach my hand out tears in my eyes and stroke her beautiful fur. She stirs awake, looks at me sleepy and places her large head onto my lap. I lean down and bury my face in her fur crying.“My dear sweet heart what are
Chapter Forty Seven-Jackson POVI hated to leave the fight but Alpha needs to know what is going on. I did manage to kill two rogues before I left. I am so afraid for my friends, for my mate. I know Jason is an amazing fighter but I still worry. As I run I can feel every blow that my mate feels I share in his pain as well as I feel every moment of triumph he feels against his opponent; it is the magic of the mate bond. It also allows me to know that he is alive and fighting, he is fighting for our pack, for our friends and for our family and for me. I shift when I near the pack house and grab a pair of basketball shorts that are kept in a basket by the door. I run as fast as I can screaming for the Alpha, the house is dead silent no doubt the pack had already been alerted through mindlink by Zander or Lilly. I curse my Alpha i
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
