"Does this mean you're... happy I marked you?" I venture to ask, causing Olivia’s smile to disappear right then and there. She moves to punch my arm, hard. I'm getting used to these attacks by now and even find them adorable. "Of course not! My dad is going to lose his mind even more, you big idiot. How dare you even think of marking me as your mate before you marry me or even are my boyfriend?" She yells again, frustrated and shaking her head for a couple of seconds before calming down, "With that being said, I can't deny that's the first thing you've said or done that shows you want me, so I can't help but like it just a little bit." "Of course I want you, Olivia, more than anything," I admit and she rolls her eyes but can't help but smile again. Fück, this is going so much better than I expected, I think my approach with Olivia has to be this all the time. Crudely honest. "And whether the mark is real or not, my intention is to be with you and even marry you as long as you acce
When Olivia starts to look distraught and close to crying again, I decide to do something about it and approach them on the floor, ignoring Lucinda and Dalia's stares at me. I grab Laurie by one hand, forcing Olivia to let go of her deathly grip on him. "Hey, Laurie, everything’s okay, yeah? Can I talk to your wolf?" I ask him and he looks at me with confusion because he doesn't know how to do that, "Relax your mind and let him come out." Laurie frowns as he tries to do what I told him and a few seconds later I can see his pupils dilate and his wolf stepping in. "Hello, Alpha father.” he speaks clearly, making us all gasp because his voice sounds much deeper and more audible than it should. It doesn't sound like the sweet baby voice Laurie has. "Hey pup, what the hell are you doing?" I demand in a harsh voice, making him waver a little. "I want to be outside. I want to run and play, I don't want to be inside all the time." he replies with an arrogant tone, h
"Oh," I release all the air in my body and my shoulders relax for the first time all morning. I even start to smile when I think about the things she said now that I have a clear head. My baby boy is an alpha, how wonderful. “So it's a good thing, right? Laurie will be strong and powerful." "Yeah, basically. Congratulations," she rolls her eyes. I can see she shares the distaste for alphas with her daughter Mallory, "It tends to happen with compatible couples. Mother has everything perfectly planned out... which brings us to the next point I'm sure you want to discuss with me. How do you feel since the ritual?" "Like nothing happened," Daniel replies with a sharp tone, crossing his arms across his chest. Isabelle looks at him with a raised eyebrow, "I still want Olivia like I did before. My wolf still desires her as much or even more than before. And also... show her, Oli." Under Isabelle's expectant gaze, I tug at the collar of Daniel's sweatshirt and show her the mark I know is st
{ Daniel }Olivia grabs Laurie, carries him like he's a sack of potatoes and gets out of my truck without giving me even one last look. I give myself a second of peace and quiet before I park to get out as well. I know my father-in-law is already home and has been communicating with people to let them know he’s back in charge of the clan. I know I have to act fast and get straight to Frank before Olivia tries to tell him about the mark. Luckily, I know my girl well enough to be sure she won't run to tell him. At this point she probably went into hiding mode to think about how she can hide the mark for as long as possible or how to find an excuse that will save her from all blame because she's terrified of disappointing her father. But even if she doesn't want to hear this, I didn't lie when I said I would take full responsibility for what I did. From this moment forward, Olivia is officially my mate. I have absolutely all the right in the world to her and all I need as evidence is
Hi, this is your author speaking! This book is already finished and I’m really really excited for you all to read it all as soon as possible, so I will be updating a few chapters daily, I hope you’re okay with that! :D By the way, Daniel and Olivia’s story will soon come to an end and then we have a few side stories, get ready for that ’t like it, so I agree. Let’s fight. But we'll do it legally," he adds, "If I win, you'll have to leave the clan. And if you win, I'll step aside and let Olivia do as she pleases, even if that means having seven more kids without getting married yet." "Sounds good to me," I reply and give him a deep look, "I consider you the good father figure I never had, Frank, but if it comes to Olivia I'm willing to do this. Besides, even if I lose... I don't think you can stop Olivia from leaving the clan with me." "I sure can," h
"Dad, are you being serious?" I ask, unable to believe it. My dad won't bend, so I look at my mom through my tears. She’s still just as angry, but she's quiet now and with her arms crossed, "It's just a mark! Why should anyone die because of it? Not to mention you would be killing me, too. You don’t care about that?” My father keeps quiet and I just shake my head. If he doesn't care about killing me then he can go to hell. I'm not staying here for that. I turn around and storm out of the office. "Olivia! GET BACK IN HERE!" he orders and I can feel his command is full of alpha power, but I don't feel compelled to obey, which surprises me a little until I remember the mark. Daniel is officially my alpha now, not my father. "Stop and come here, we'll talk about this." "No. I don't want to talk to you," I say, stepping into my room and pulling my bags out from under my bed. My dad walks in and closes the door behind him, it's just the two of us now, without that woman who called me
{ Daniel } The rogue wolves are nothing like I imagined them to be. They seem… almost normal, but not really. There is something off about them. The beta is a tiny twenty year old boy that clearly is just being dragged into this shit along with his brother. He didn't put up any resistance when we locked him up, he hasn't even said a word. To be honest, he seems even relieved. But the alpha... goddamn. That one is a total lunatic, a crazy bastard obsessed with ancient thoughts. Even with his wolf sedated and one of his arms asleep, he puts up resistance against Lucinda and almost manages to push her off when he raises his hand and claws her face, but that only serves to piss off the other craziest alpha I know. Her anger serves as a propellant and she pushes the alpha so hard he falls to the ground on his ass. Lucinda slams the door shut, slamming the buttons on the monitor to activate the soundproof system and then lets out a big breath of relief, lifting a hand to wipe the blood
Clara wakes up fifteen minutes later, immediately moaning in pain and raising a hand to cover her forehead, which is already starting to bruise. My nose is starting to heal, but it still hurts from the headbutt. Olivia and Lucinda break away from the wall where they were leaning against and walk over to their sister while Laurie continues to play with my phone, sitting on my lap. "What happened?" Clara asks in a slurred voice and then moans again, touching her arm, "I can't feel this arm." "That's because we injected you with a sedative," I inform her and she turns to look at me with confusion in her eyes, sitting bolt upright on the couch, "You don't remember what happened? Your... insistence that the rogue wolf is your alpha?" Clara frowns and thinks for a few seconds, then nods. I grab Laurie and settle him next to me on the couch. I realize then that Olivia has him well trained because he literally doesn't even look up from the phone. I get up from the couch to stand in front
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
