{ Daniel } "Boss, we have news," Gabriel announces as he approaches my office. He enters after I nod and extends a folder towards me, "We have the identities and information of the rouge wolves. And the mayor of the Reynard clan wants to talk to you as soon as possible." I get up from my chair quickly to grab the folder. There are reports of two rouge wolves from clan Reynard. A beta and an alpha who were expelled from the clan for insubordination to the mayor and attempted coup to steal the position of clan mayor, as if we were in ancient times where people were going to accept an alpha by force. I look at the names and pictures of the wolves, absorbing as much information as possible so I can decipher what the fück they want and where they might have gone to hide, but mostly if it's possible that they’ll want to come back. I figure with the little information I have that for some stüpid reason they targeted Frank for being the mayor and it wasn't just a random attack like we th
Lucinda slowly gets up from the couch and turns to look from Olivia to me several times before nodding and heading upstairs once Olivia comes down and out of her hiding spot. Her scent is now even heavier than yesterday. So attractive and delicious… but also, she smells offended. Angry. My God, will I ever stop fücking up with her? What is my problem? "Olivia, I'm... I'm so sorry I said that," I blurt out, my stomach clenching and I even start to sweat. I feel like I've put one more nail in the coffin of our dead relationship. I get up from the couch because I don't know what else to do, but Olivia rolls her eyes trying to look unconcerned. "No, I'm serious. I'm sorry. I didn't think you were here. Uh... obviously it's true that you hate me and that there's no future here but I didn't think you'd listen because..." "It's my house. I can leave my room and stand in the stairs if I want to." She replies, narrowing her eyes. "I know that. Of course. But... your car. Where is it?"
{ Olivia } I wait nervously as I hear the phone ring and when a woman's voice answers, I stop breathing. I need to convince her or I don't know what the hell I'm going to do. This is literally my only and last resort. If I can't make it happen, I'll have to run away from here again. The only way I could stay is if I'm not bonded to Daniel. "Hello, Auntie. You remember my friend, the one I told you about?" "The little doofus who wants to dissolve her compatible bond?" she asks and makes me laugh even though Julian widens his eyes looking distressed that I'm going to be offended. "Hi. It's me, the Doofus," I introduce myself and the lady gasps in embarrassment, but I laugh again, "Don't worry, I just please need you to listen to my story. Do you have time right now?" "Yes, I have time, little Doofus, you can tell me," she tells me in a sweet and amused voice. Julian stands up at that moment and gives me a little charade performance to let me know he will leave me to talk privat
➿ Four Years Ago ➿ { Olivia } When I come back to my own right mind after my first time ever having sëx, my face gets so hot I feel like I might explode. My best friend is lying on top of me and I have his knot inside me. How the hell did this happen? I mean, I remember, of course, but... what the fück? Yet, as weird as it is, I can't help but feel perfectly at peace right now, like this is something natural and normal for me, being so full of him. The one thing I've always wanted and now it's mine. "Are you feeling okay, Oli?" Daniel asks, putting a hand on my cheek to cradle my face and turning me a little towards him, "It'll go down in a minute or two, sorry." "Don't be sorry," I whisper, moving my hot face to bury it in the couch again, "It feels good." Daniel stays silent but I can feel he likes my words because he gets a little bigger inside me, stretching me to the limit I’m sure.
➿ Present ➿ When I come back to reality after my embarrassing flashback, it dawns on me that Julian is seriously kissing me now and his hand is sliding under my shirt to put it on my back and pull my body even closer to his. That fills me with panic and I tense up because not only do I have an alpha... I also have a boyfriend. Felix may not make me feel the same as an alpha and he may not know how to satisfy me sëxually, but he has shown me far more tenderness and romance than any of them. He doesn't deserve this. "I'm sorry," Julian apologizes when he feels me detach from the kiss, pulling away from my mouth to look me in the eye, "I know we’re friends but you're so gorgeous, I couldn't help but kiss you. I've never been this attracted to an omega before." His words stop my panic and guilt a bit because they make me feel curious and they also awaken my bruised ego. Who doesn't like to be told they're gorgeous after suffering so much rejection in their life? I obviously need
When Daniel throws the ball again he throws it way too hard and Laurie groans because he couldn’t catch it, but runs to go grab it. "By the way, did you call Felix already?" Daniel asks when we’re alone again and I look at him with confusion at the abrupt change of subject, "To let him know you won't be going back to Delton with him?" "Oh. No, I didn't," I answer and then I remember his text from last night that I haven't answered because I don't want us to have our first fight yet, especially not because of Lucinda, "Actually, I’ll go call him right now." I get up from the ground and walk as far away as I can to talk to Felix without worrying about anyone listening my conversation. "Olivia. Why hadn't you called me?" he asks as soon as he answers the call. His tone is a lot colder than normal. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him talking like that. "Sorry, baby. I was really busy this morning, we went to the hospital with my dad," I lie, because I don't plan on telling him what ac
As soon as I enter the house, I feel all eyes on me even though they try to look the other way and pretend they weren't looking and openly gossiping about me and Olivia talking like normal people for the first time since she came back. Clara takes possession of my hand and pulls me towards the kitchen very excited to give me a taste of some cookie mix or something she and her mother are preparing. It's delicious and I tell her that, but it wasn't delicious enough to move me away from the game with my son to eat this nonsense. I don't even like desserts that much, I don't understand why she was so excited for me to try this. Still, I stay in the kitchen with her for a while, trying not to look out into the backyard so I don't look like I want to go back to being there with my girl and my son, even though I totally want that. The conversation in the house turns serious again when Lucinda starts telling everyone about the two wolves that attacked their father an
"I want to go home." Laurie blurts out, clenching my shirt with his fists and still crying, "Can we go back to Delton now?" "No, baby. We can't," I reply, rubbing his back for a couple of seconds as he calms down, "Can you explain to me what you saw?" "Aunt Clara turned into a mean dog," he exclaims in fear and I can't help to let out a little giggle. Aunt Clara is indeed a female dog. "And you... you were talking in a different voice. You said bad words." "I'm sorry. You're right, I behaved very badly out there, I said ugly things," I agree, still rubbing his back and fighting the tug of guilt I feel when I remember the fücked up things I said in the middle of my fit of rage, "But everything has an explanation and you have nothing to be scared of. This house is where we are safest. Nothing bad can ever happen to us while we're here." "The dog wanted to eat you," he reminds me and pulls away from my chest to look me in the eyes, "Pleas
Hello Everyone, this is your author speaking :} Laurie and King's story is over, but this is not the end of them. We'll still get to see their new life in my next book: "A Healer For The Alpha" in which we’ll get to see the love stories of Rio and then Alex. The Taffy boys still have a long way to go. The book will be available on my profile soon, make sure you're following me so you'll know when that happens. Thanks for reading ➿ one month later ➿ { Kingsley } "Please, just... meet me halfway," Laurent begs, looking completely stressed and defeated. He's sitting at the desk in his new office in the chapel, trying to close the hardest deal of his life... convincing Alex to forgive him, "Please, dude. You have no idea what you're putting me through. You're totally taking advantage of my love for you." "I've already said what I needed to say," Alex repeats, stubborn as ever, crossing his arms. I can only shake my head and settle better on the couch. This wil
I spend the rest of the day taking a tour of the whole clan with Laurie. To be honest, it doesn't look as bad as someone might think. I mean, it is bad, the streets aren't clean, the parks and woods aren't taken care of, there isn't as much security around, there aren't as many businesses and it just doesn't have the rich vibe of Fallonmore, but I trust we can take it there. I need to take it there or I won't like living here. We get to the mall in the afternoon, although it's really just a small plaza with ten stores, absolutely pathetic and sad. They don't even sell the good stuff and it's not full of people like in Fallonmore; they’re always shopping like the world is going to end over there, but we still manage to find formal outfits for tomorrow because Laurent definitely can't introduce himself to his new clan while he's still wearing clothes with the Fallonmore logo on them. We also bought new cell phones and food and spent the rest of the day in Laurent’s old (new?) apa
"Wow... this was not what we expected at all. You really never know what life has in store for you. Congratulations, Laurie. I always knew your destiny was going to be amazing," my grandfather says with a smile and reaches over to pat me on the back. "No! Grandpa, I don't want this," I admit, looking at everyone for help, "No. No." "Congratulations on accomplishing what I never could. And you didn’t even fucking try. That's so damn great," my Uncle Rodrick blurts out through his teeth, pretending to smile, sitting next to my mom and rubbing her back while she's still in shock, "Totally great. I'm so happy for you." "Can you move away? Your envy is making me nauseous," my mom complains, making my Uncle squint at her with annoyance, "What does this mean, Alessandro? Can he do this from Fallonmore?" "Of course not, Olivia. This is his territory now. He has to live here," my father states and comes closer to grab my shoulders, "This is happening, Laurent. You made a decision and thes
When the interrogation is over we can finally eat and the conversation becomes normal because Diory comes down to sit with us. Rio suddenly appears to bring Laurie's car and takes the opportunity to sit down to eat with us. "Where's Alex?" Laurie asks. "Angry at life, but especially at the two of us and Uncle Daniel," he mutters. Daniel and Lucinda share a tired look, "He left this morning without telling me where, he's probably crying under some bridge." "Alex is at my house with Phi, he's not crying under any bridge," Rodrick replies. "Even worse, he's so depressed he's deciding to spend time with the little ones," Rio blurts out, grimacing sadly. Diory throws something at him, "He wouldn't talk to me at all yesterday, he even left our room to sleep somewhere else.” "Alex has to understand that things are different now," Lucinda says, "He couldn't go with you guys and I know that sucks, but rules are rules. There are no omegas in security for a thousand reasons, it's for his o
{ Kingsley }With my mom's help I manage to stop this damn crying fit. Everything that happened came crashing down on me on the way back and I think without my mom's help I wouldn't have been able to stop crying for hours and hours, as usual, but now I'm starting to calm down. Olivia’s hysteria is also helping me calm down because it made me laugh to see her attack and hug Laurie at the same time. My mate really did something super freaking stupid, but he made it through in the end. That's all that matters now. My alpha mom grabs me in her strong arms and hugs me, kissing me all over like I'm a literal puppy and scenting my head. "You're grounded," she says after I get the biggest love attack. "What?! Why?" "Because you worried me too much and you don’t do that to your mother. You can't go anywhere but home and Laurent's house until my heart is working properly again," she states and I know that even though it's ridiculous, she's being serious. My moms and Laurent's parents
The stress of the situation is causing the tranquilizer effect to wear off me a bit, at least enough to be able to move my arms. I manage to cover my face as I sob in fear and just keep praying because it's all I can do at this point. The sounds are getting worse and worse by the second, not to mention that the potent scent of fear coming from Rio is making me feel even worse. I don't know how much time has passed, but when I hear one last whimper of pain coming from a wolf and then a collective gasp, my world stops. But... I'm not dead. Or am I? "Oh, my fucking god," Rio blurts out and his scent of fear suddenly changes to relief. That's all I need to realize that my mate won. Rio stops pushing my head and I can now hold myself upright, so I manage to turn and see how my Alpha is standing from the ground still in his animal form while Christian's brown wolf lies motionless underneath him. He is dead. My weak legs lose the fight and I fall to the ground on my knees as
My father gets out of bed as soon as I say that and he listens attentively to the whole thing without wasting a single second asking dumb questions. He immediately grabs his phone to call the borders while my omega dad is just staring at us from his bed with big eyes, breathing heavily. "Kingsley Seong left the clan with Christian Roade," one of the guards says from the phone. Every hair on my body stands up anxiously and I start growling from my chest as I confirm that this fucking asshole really came back to the clan just to grab my mate and take him away from me, "Why, boss?" "How could you let that happen? Kingsley is being taken against his will," my father exclaims, walking over to put on some pants without letting go of the phone. "I don't think so, sir. Kingsley was sitting in the passenger seat, completely lucid." I shake my head. No way. No way. My father ends that call and walks over to grab me by the shoulders. "We'll go get him, Alpha. Don't doubt it, we'll get him
✨ Hello, this is your author speaking, the end of this book is very near. There’s only a few more chapters to go and this story will be over. But we can’t leave the twins forgotten, of course. They will have their own book and their own stories soon. Hope you’re ready for that, and make sure you’re following me so you can get a notification when I post their new book ✨ { Kingsley } 'I miss you, baby. I shouldn't have come with the girls :(' I text Laurent when I can't fight against my feelings anymore. Of course it's fun to be with my best friends, but suddenly my wolf started feeling extra needy and I'm getting infected by his desire to be with our Alpha and sleep with him, with his overgrown body on top of me. We basically didn't spend any time together today, just the fifteen minutes at the restaurant before the girls showed up and made me feel bad for forgetting our bestienniversary. For a long time Laurent doesn’t reply, so I keep texting him. He's probably still with
"Play nice, okay? Trust me," I say to the twins and they don't seem to like it very much, but they have no choice but to agree because I park my car behind Christian’s and get out to greet him with a handshake and a half hug. I do the same to Devin, too, trying to control my wolf. Now I'm really thankful King isn't here. I don’t think I’d be able to stay this calm if I saw Christian lusting after him. "What's up, dude? What’s this surprise about?" I ask, looking at my house. My parents are in there and I know they're not going to be happy if they know he's in our clan. Even though I know there's no real reason to distrust Christian, something about him screams trouble. "I just wanted to come check on you. You left so suddenly, I thought it was weird," he mentions, looking at me with a frown as if trying to figure out what's different about me. I know my scent has changed since King bit me, maybe that's what he's picking up on. "There were some family issues here, I had to come r
