For Every Lifetime The Journey to Be Queen
Chapter 8Olivia's POV How dare he?I thought to myself angrily. There was no way I was going with him anywhere, he had seemed serious about it, but I doubted he had anywhere else to be. I didn't know how much time had passed, but my door was thrown open, and he matched in again. Not knowing what he wanted, I squared up, ready to dish out the venom in my soul. “So, I haven't changed my mind about the journey. I just realized that you are not ready, and you have no idea the kind of life I am about to introduce you to. Alexander will teach you for the next one week, make sure to learn all you can...”“What exactly are you? You live in a lonely castle right in the middle of the evil forest, what do you want to reach me? How to swing from trees?” I fired at him. At that moment, I could have sworn that I saw the fire come alive like an active volcano in his pupils. He walked to me and I began to move back involuntarily, not stopping until my back was pressed to the wall. “You are test

Chapter 9Olivia's POV Four months later“Stand straight and aim at the target,” he said, his voice vexing me as he helped me straighten my arm to aim better at the target. “I am doing all I can. I don't know how else you want me to stand straight” I snapped at him, too exhausted to do anything else and also frustrated that nothing I was learning today was entering my head. My life had slowly taken a turn from what it used to be into something more interesting, I was beginning to enjoy the stability of knowing what I would do for the day. “If you don't stand right, you can easily be taken out by a target, why are you so stubborn?” He asked me, his frustration showing on his face too. “Fine,” I said, my voice slightly elevated and faced the target, without even waiting to be ready, I released the bow and the arrow lunged forward. The arrow missed the target totally and landed on the floor. I turned around to meet the furious face of Augustus. His eyes were hard, and he looked at

Chapter 10Olivia's POV My body swirled with emotions, one that I never knew existed. My toes curled up, and I felt the overwhelming urge to wrap my hands around his neck. He seemed to understand what I was feeling because his tongue invaded my tongue and my knees nearly buckled. Seeing myself responding to him with such shameless abandon made me feel upset with myself. I didn't like him, I hated him even, but he could evoke emotions in me more than anyone else I've met in my life. “You'll learn to obey me next time,” he said, and I was snatched out of my reverie to face the reality of him wearing a smug look on his face, looking down at me. It was then I realized that his lips were off me and I had totally fallen for his stupid games. I pretended to have hated it and wiped at my lips furiously, nearly causing it to bleed. The fire of desire in me immediately turned to the fire of rage, and I was determined to let him have a lick of everything.“You are not much of a good kisser.

Chapter 11Augustus's POV I took a long swig of the bottle in my hands, willing myself to feel some sort of intoxication, but it was of no use. Food and drinks had no importance in my life now because of the curse, but even if they did, I doubted that alcohol would have been able to douse the embers of lust that I felt. Even though she was not the same as my Ariel, there was something about her that would never change. She was fearless, it was one of the things that had attracted me to her at first, her eyes lit with the rage that I knew only I could evoke from her. Somehow, she had managed to curse us both, to be slaves to our love and her hate for me. “Help!” I heard the voice, clearly in my head. I got up, thinking if it was the alcohol that was finally having an effect, but, I didn't feel drunk. “Hel…help me” I heard the voice clearly and knew that it was Olivia. Alexander ran in almost at the same time, his face etched with worry and concern. “My king, I can't find the mist

Chapter 12 Olivia's POV My body convulsed in pleasure and I grabbed Augustus, my fingers digging into his back as I orgasmed on his fingers. He held me in place until I was done and the realization of what I had just done, dawned on me. My eyes were tightly shut and even though it was dark, the moon illuminated the entire forest. “Are you okay?” He asked me, his voice breaking my train of thought. “Yes…" I mumbled, trailing off. I felt so weak and tired, the new emotions that I had been introduced to slowly lulling me to sleep. I could barely move a muscle and lay there, trying to catch my breath. Even though I knew the activity had made me tired, having to ward off a hungry lion for almost an hour was no easy feat, and I was glad that Augustus came at the time, he did. Even if I was not going to let him know. Mustering all the strength that I had left, I tried to get up. It was already late, and we should have gone to bed hours ago. I fell to the floor with a low thud, a s

Chapter 13Olivia's POV My eyes flew open, I didn't know how long I had slept but everywhere seemed oddly familiar. I knew this was not the room I had fallen asleep in. I looked around, and my eyes caught the picture of a woman hung on the wall.Her eyes were captivating and even though she looked nothing like I did, I felt like I was looking at myself from a different age. I stood up and looked around, surprised that even though I knew that this was my first time here, I could swear that this was my home. The door was thrown open, and a strange man walked in. I tried to back away, but I couldn't move, instead, I walked to the window and stood there, my back turned to the strange figure. I willed myself to turn away from the man, his clothes were exotic, but they looked as if they had been brought straight from an ancient museum. “Ariel, do not turn your back on me!” The man barked, but I didn't feel the need to answer him, instead I shook my head. “I am not Ariel, you have the wr

Chapter 14Augustus's POV When I saw her struggling on the bed, I knew what was happening to her, and the dread of what happened next scared me. It was the same thing, every time and I regretted having not told her the whole truth before now. I grabbed her and shook her awake, but she looked at me in horror, a look I had thought every time that I had grown accustomed to but always broke my heart. She was terrified of me now. Talking to her was of no use and I felt myself losing her again. I couldn't let it happen, and I tried to get to her, but she ran away, slipped and hit her head. “I am not Ariel” she murmured as I tried to get her. Her head was bleeding badly, and she had passed out. I carried her in my arms and marched down the stairs. Alexander joined me as soon as I got out and kept asking me what I did to her, his tone irritating me with every step I took. “Why don't you shut up and do something useful?” I barked at him. He didn't say anything else after that, instead,

Chapter 15Augustus's POV Two Days Later“We are on our way,” I said and carried Olivia into one of the sleek black vans that was now parked at the front of the castle. I had mixed feelings about my sudden decision to return to the palace amidst the rumors going on, but I needed Olivia to be in a safe space. “Everything is ready, Your Majesty. The official ambulance that you requested to ride in with the queen is now waiting too. He arrived just a few minutes ago” Alexander reported to me. He had returned barely a few hours ago and had now set up for movement. The doctors and nurses carried Olivia on a stretcher carefully and took her to the royal ambulance. I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and took a deep breath, looking at the house one last time and seeing the memories that I had made her. "We have to go your majesty. Shadow hunters have increased around these parts, and we do not want to get up with them. I nodded my head and matched out, followed closely by Alexan

For Every Lifetime To Not Choose is to Choose Not to
Chapter 76Olivia's POV I didn't know how much time had passed or how much longer I had, but this was hands down the toughest decision I had ever had to make. There was no one here and for a minute, I wondered if Elana wasn't supposed to be here as my ace guardian. Thinking about it again, this was a test to see my abilities alone without anyone's help. I was scared but then, I had not been with my family since I was born. It was hard to know what being with them would be like, I was curious. Augustus on the other hand, the thought of staying with him for the rest of my life was pleasing. I could feel my wolf leaping in joy. She wanted Augustus, we were going to pick Augustus but the thought of picking a man over my parents didn't sit right with me, so I decided that nothing was too big for me to sacrifice for them. Even if what I was sacrificing was my life and my mate. My hands were just about to pick my parents in a force field when I suddenly heard Elana's voice screaming my n
For Every Lifetime A Heart to Call Home
Chapter 75Olivia's POV “You are my father?” I asked the man who sat in front of me. He didn't look so much like me, but then, I could see some similarities. He was the reason I had crooked fingers, seeing his crooked ones too. “What do you think daughter?” He asked me and I nodded my head. I never expected to meet my real family like this, I knew they were dead, but somehow they are alive in a different world. “I thought you and mom died. How come you both are still here?” I asked him and he laughed. “Because this is not the real world. Every ace that has ever lived is here. This is the home of the Aces after death. It's why no one can find it. Out there in the real world, you have to be dead to it before you can have access to this place…"It was as if him saying out there in the real world had juggled my memory and I remembered Augustus. I thought sadly about how he would never be able to come and see my home. “I have to go back” I said and heard Elana gasp behind me, “what is
For Every Lifetime A Kingdom of Layers
Chapter 74Augustus's POV It's been three days. Three days since Olivia and Elana had lost touch with this reality. I knew they were at the Ace Kingdom, the only kingdom that was untouched by time or the realities that we lived here. I am sure that Olivia and Elana do not know how long they have been there for. The kingdom was agog with activities, one that included them seeing their brave queen who brought them victory, but I couldn't tell them that their queen was an ace wolf, and she has gone home for now. I wondered what Olivia would choose when it was time for her to decide, a part of me dreaded that she might choose never to return her and have her body transported to the ace world. That would mean that I would never see her again, something that scared me more than life itself. “Your Majesty, the councilmen have been waiting for over four hours now. They think your delay is to disrespect them.” Alexander said and I hissed. I wasn't in the mood for those clowns, especially n
For Every Lifetime A Home to Call Mine
Chapter 73Olivia's POV “Princess?” I asked the strange woman as she smiled at me and bowed. I was confused, Elana looked equally confused. “Yes, very soon my darling, you will understand what is going on” she said and I sighed. “Here we go again” I murmured under my breath as I didn't like that she did not explain things to me immediately but rather, wanted me to wait and understand. “If you are the princess Olivia, it can only mean that your parents were actually ace royals” Elana whispered as we waited for the slow but grand arrival of someone I imagined was the royals that I was related to. Suddenly, all the wolves stood up, clapping and chanting like they were performing some sort of welcome ritual. I didn't know what to do or if I should join them. Elana bowed her head and since she was the only person I knew here, I followed her to do the same. “Rise my darlings” I heard a woman's voice above my head. When I raised my head to look at her, I was shocked to see the most pre
For Every Lifetime Becoming An Ace
Chapter 72Olivia's POV My eyes widened in shock, I had heard about Ace Guardians only in the books I have stolen from my father's library to read about wolves. No one told me anything and I had been struggling to see if there was a way to strengthen the weak one that I had. “Yes, she is your ace guardian” Augustus said when he saw the shock in my eyes. “You knew?” I asked him and could see that Elana was shocked that he knew too. “Olivia, do you know how many lifetimes I have lived with the full memory in my head? Trust me, I can smell some things from a thousand years away” he said, with a smile on his face and turned his attention to Elana, “Elana, I want you to know that I, Olivia Augustus Mate, the Great Lycan king and Uniter of the wolves and all life forms accept you as her Ace Guardian wolf” Augustus said just as Elana began to glow. I started to glow too and jumped up in shock. I was confused. What in the bloody hell was happening to me? A lot of questions were rummaging
For Every Lifetime Finding a Little Something
Chapter 71Olivia's POV “You mean I was never supposed to kill anyone?” I asked and Elana heaved sadly. “Did they tell you about your mom?” She asked me and I nodded my head but even then, there was so much about me that I didn't know. “Yes. They told me she was alive. I need to go back. I didn't mean to kill anyone, but I have a duty to protect my people” I said to her. “And you are sure you didn't kill her out of anger or anything else. Just what you have told me?” Elana asked again, she wasn't answering my questions, yet she kept asking me hers. I was confused. How did she know so much about me? “No, I didn't. Look, we can talk tomorrow morning, for now, there are certain things that I do not understand, and I am not in the right frame of mind to wrap my head around, do you mind if I get a few hours of sleep, and we regroup later in the day to talk about this?” I asked her, Elana looked at me for a while and threw her hands around my blood stained neck for some time. I hugged

Chapter 70Olivia's POV On the way back to the palace, I felt a new sense of power pumping through my veins. I felt powerful and energized, more than ready to take on any challenge that wanted to come my way. Augustus held my hands as a source of comfort, I appreciated it. The palace came into view and there was a sea of people waiting for us, including Alexander, who had a terrible look on his face before our eyes met. “Are you ready?” Augustus asked me, distracting me from my face off with his two faced beta.“Never been more ready” I replied and he squeezed my hands. We both smelt alike. We carried the scent of battle, a mixture of smoke and dried, caked up blood.He opened the door and the screams of victory welcomed us home. We made our way to the palace, the men, and women looking at me with a new-found respect. They had obviously heard the rumors and thought that I had betrayed them, but they were the closest thing to a real family that I have ever had. “Welcome home your ma
For Every Lifetime What Goes Around
Chapter 69Olivia's POV Their eyes widened in shock when they saw my wolf. There was now chaos outside, and I knew that Augustus was taking care of every single man in that camp. I was tempted to go out to see him in action, but I also had some things to take care of. “It's…it's not true! It can't be” my father said and staggered backwards, nearly toppling over a bucket that had been kept there. Annalise didn't even move and no one helped to steady him. “How? You don't have a wolf? We made sure of it” my mother said, her eyes filled with confusion. “What do you mean by you made sure I didn't have a wolf?” I demanded, she looked at the ground and slowly backed away, her hands placed in front of her like a shield as I marched towards her. “Wait, I'll tell you everything. We exchanged your wolf for powers, we gave you to a deity so that we would become the Alpha and Luna of the pack” she said. “You mean, all those years you treated me like trash because I did not have a wolf, you a

Chapter 68Olivia's POV The guards threw me roughly in one of the tents, making sure to secure it properly. I could hear the guards beginning to surround my makeshift cell, and prayed to the moon goddess for victory today. “So, you said that you wanted to talk?” Lucia asked me with a satisfied smile on her face. “Stop this madness Lucia. It has gone on long enough. We had an agreement, and you were supposed to let me have three years before this. Why now?” I asked her, looking as concerned and passionate as much as I could. Lying was not a big forte of mine, but a queen had to make so many sacrifices, both for herself, her mate and the Kingdom itself. “I have a little surprise for you” she said and paused, “maybe not a surprise because I am sure you must have heard about it, but I just want to give you the honor of meeting your parents one last time” she said with eerie laughter reverberating around the room, “guards! Bring our lovely guests in” she yelled and I heard feet shuffl
