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
Chapter Forty-Eight Ireland POV Alpha Oliver just stands up and leaves the room with his head looking down never saying a word. I look around at everyone still very confused. The look on Alpha Oliverâs face made me feel like someone had squeezed my heart through my chest but I donât know why. âLollipop, you're his mate donât you remember?â âErik I remember Alpha Oliver though not how I know him. It doesnât make sense though?â Chris steps forward. âWhat doesnât make sense?â âI know that I donât have Belle because of my mate rejecting me. I didnât accept and he continued to hurt me. I know I never accepted but I donât feel anything toward Alpha
Chapter Forty-Nine Ireland POV I turn back to look at Alpha Oliver, he is poised to attack. I am sure as an Alpha he did not appreciate the other two busting in his office yelling at him. Before he can even react. I am doubled over laughing my ass off. I mean I am literally laughing so hard tears are coming from my eyes. I probably look and sound like a maniac, like a crazy person but I donât care. I look around at all the shocked looks on everyoneâs faces and just laugh even harder. I donât know how long it takes me to stop but when I do everyone is still looking at me. I just look at Alpha Oliver. âThank youâ is all I say to him and he has a completely dumbfounded look on his face which has me giggling again. A small smile gracing his lips âThank You?â he questions.
Chapter Fifty Irelandâs POV I leave Oliverâs office and I have a weird feeling, one of relief, freedom, sorrow and loss floating around inside my chest. I canât really explain it at all but what I donât feel is anger. I know that holding on to anger toward him wonât get us anywhere and now we are allies and friends or we were friends I donât know what the future will hold. I reach the front porch and everyone is trying to speak to me and calling out to me. âListen everyone really I am okay. I am just going to get some sleep and then I will see you all tomorrow.â I know that is partially a lie. I am not entirely okay. I begin to walk again. I have every plan to stay at the cabin tonight. I really donât know why I stayed in tha
Chapter Fifty-One Ireland POV After Chrisâs revelation and Erik running in trying to convince me to leave tonight, I truly feel exhausted. I refused to leave because I refuse to let someone have higher power over me again. Now I am just laying here in my old bed begging for sleep to take me. I feel bad for acting as if I had no idea who Oliver was to me but I needed to use the opportunity to get answers. Answers I was not sure I would have gotten otherwise. The truth is that I have noticed how much he has changed. I know what he did in the past was truly horrible and half of me holds onto that hurt and another half wants to believe people can change and move forward. I donât know what to feel to be completely honest. I was ready to accept him and move forward. However when I started feeling that pain again while fighting Josh it
Chapter Fifty-TwoOliver POVIt has been three weeks since the night she left again. I feel like I am barely holding on as the pain of her leaving has made a permanent home in my heart. She did not even allow me a chance to explain my true feelings. I take another few minutes lying in my bed and stare up at the ceiling thinking of that night.*Flashback*She had looked gorgeous walking into the ball. She wore a fitted satin black dress that came high up around the base of her neck then plunged down low in the back stopping right above her small curve of her butt. The long sleeves covered her tattooed arms and her hair was pulled in a sleek bun on top of her head. She looked so elegant it took my breath away, to be honest she always had that ef
Chapter Fifty-Three Ireland POV I have been at Riverbend with Chris for about 6 months trying to get to know the people. I know the bond is back because my urge to be close to Oliver is stronger. Even when I first left I felt the urge to be close to him despite the bond but now it is stronger. The only interaction I have with him are letters delivered back and forth. I remember the phone call with Erik then the letter sent by Oliver warning me of danger from the twins. I was able to calm Erikâs concerns by going over my plan with him. I made him promise to not tell Oliver. I simply told Oliver in a letter that I wasnât his concern any longer and lied about the mate pull being back. I talked about how the Twins were so good to me and that they had never done anything to hurt me unlike a certain other person I knew. I even kissed t
Chapter Fifty-FourOliver POV-I am laying on my bed thinking of my love. I am writing her a letter again to tell her everything that has been happening. I was so upset when she wrote me stating that she was staying with the Twins that she was choosing them. I wanted to tear them apart to go and claim what was mine. Erik had talked me into trusting her and said I should have faith in her and everything might be different than it seems. I have however doubted his words when there are times my mouth burns from her kissing those filthy mutts. I however also realize that the pain is not what it should feel like. Again I know she is protecting me. Last night I kept getting flashes in my mind of my hands on her body. I had to take a shower to relieve the tension but I didn’t give a fuck because I knew she was thinking about me. I gue
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 donât deserve it. I know she would only push me away with disgust. I canât control it when I look up at her as she talks about the sacredness of mates and the future of the pack. I donât 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 donât 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 couldnât 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 wasnât even able to look him in the eye during breakfast. He hasnât 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 canât 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 donât know why. Before I can reach him he looks up at me with so much anger in his eyes âEXPLAIN!â 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. âWhat do you need explained?â I seeth back. âFUCK IRELAND! Everything needs to be explained. Is she mine and how is that possible and why did you hide it from me.â âLower your voice.â I
Chapter 59- Ireland POV âI see Belle is back to arguing with you again.â Jason chuckles âWell Jay you know she always likes her opinions known.â 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. âAlpha Oliver, I apologize for that. Chris will be back shortly.â 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 couldnât 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 Evelynâs 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. âThrow the traitorous Bitch in the dungeon!â 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
