For Every Lifetime A Fountain of Emotions
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

Chapter 16Olivia's POV My body shifted comfortably on a soft, lofty bed. I curled up with one of the softest pillows I had ever used as I battled to stay asleep. Suddenly, a searing pain tore through my head, so badly that I stayed completely still, not even daring to shout, hoping that it would pass soon enough. A bell rang right above my head and I nearly punched through the bed covers. The headache finally calmed down, and I managed to get up, opening my eyes in what felt like a long time. My body was hurt, almost like I had been asleep for a long time. The room began to register in my brain, and I realized that I had never seen this room before. There were sounds outside which could only mean that I was where there were plenty of people. The events of the past nights hit me with recognition, and I clutched my head again, trying to bear through the heart-wrenching pain it came with.

Chapter 17Olivia's POV My body froze when I heard a female's voice in my room. I turned around to find the mossy stunning woman looking at me, she was seated on one of the sofas in my very exquisite bedroom. Her eyes were blue, and I could see the raw strength coursing through her veins. “Seems like we both have a man who doesn't give a damn,” she said, laughter playing on her face. “Who are you and what are you doing in my room?” I demanded, grabbing a bread knife from the dining table and clasping my robe tightly together. “I should be the one asking you who you are, don't you think?” She said, and I stood there, not knowing exactly what to introduce myself to her as. “I thought as much. Augustus does not love you, he is only using you so he doesn't lose his right to making it to the afterlife, you should know better than to be deceived like that, little girl” she said and got up, her intimidating frame towering over me, but I didn't care, and I was not scared. “I don't care

Chapter 18 Olivia's POV The next morning had me waking up with dried tears on my face. I quickly washed my body and wore a dress, just like how Alexander had taught me back at the castle in the forest. The sun was out by the time I was done, and I struggled to find the motivation to go out. There was a knock on my door and I froze, hoping it was not Augustus since our last exchange yesterday had not exactly been great. I wondered if he was slowly changing because he had touched me naked. “Come in,” I said quietly, figuring that it was not probably him since the person was so courteous. The door eased open and Alexander peeped inside, as if confirming that I was decent before he came in. I was so happy to see him, it was the first time that I had seen him since I came. It made me so happy, and I felt like I was not alone anymore. “Your Majesty,” Alexander said and bowed respectfully. “Good morning Alexander,” I said and stood up, grinning from ear to ear. He had a bandage

Chapter 98Olivia's POV “Oh, you thought I would not be able to find out your real identity?” He asked me when he saw how stunned I was. The food immediately lost its taste and turned to sand in my mouth. I was devastated and the only thing I wanted to do now was to run. The one thing I couldn't afford to do right now. “I…I… Am not Olivia or whatever you say her name is” I managed to say, my voice sounding alien even to me. He laughed, loudly, then got up and went to the mini bar behind his chair to pull out a bottle of raw alcohol. “You see, I had my doubts when I saw you. King Augustus has been on my radar for a while and I kept racking my brain on how to get him to notice me. When I saw you, I had my doubts but today, after seeing the way you have cleaned up nicely, I know without a doubt that you are queen Olivia of the Lycan Kingdom” he said, his voice increasing in pitch and tempo with every word. “I am not her. I am simply Freya, a young servant that was dumped by her lover

Chapter 97Olivia's POV The next time I gained consciousness, I was in a different room. My hands were no longer bound and the room had more ventilation than the previous one that I had been in. I struggled to get up, my body was weak from lack of food and the pregnancy that was tearing my insides with the need for food. Just then, there was a rustling of keys at the door and I quickly laid back down, pretending to be asleep. A middle-aged woman made her way into the room, she didn't even bother to look at me before setting the plate roughly on the floor, some of its contents spilling out of the plate. “I know you are awake, I saw you when you were running back to lie down on your bed. You better wake up and eat, the Alpha would soon send for you” she said and left the room before I could get a word out. Her words had stunned me, I laid there for some time before the rumbling of my stomach pushed me from the bed. I made my way to the plate, each step making me dizzier than I was.

Chapter 96Augustus's POV I couldn't shake off the gnawing feeling in my chest that something had happened to Olivia. Every moment had me feeling guilty, and I could have sworn that I heard her calling out to me this morning in my sleep. Ever since she left, which was now exactly 24 hours ago, I had imagined hearing her call me or her sweet scent welcoming me back to our chambers after a long day out there. My life felt empty, and I wished that I had not said anything to her about Ariel, instead, I had just told her the truth. “Your Majesty, you sent for me?” Elana said, I had not let her have a moment of rest since yesterday, she had done all she could to link with Olivia, but she was too far, beyond our reach. “Have you had any luck yet?” I asked, even though I already knew what the answer would be. “Not yet your majesty” she said and even though I already knew what the answer would be, my heart broke into a thousand pieces for the umpteenth time that day. “Fine.” I said grumpi

Chapter 95Olivia's POV I moved as fast as my legs could carry me. Augustus did not want me close to him anymore and even though it was what I wanted, I felt sorely disappointed. I wished that he had begged for me to stay, instead he told me the truth that I was still finding it hard to believe. The forest was dense as I made my way through, I did not want anything that would attract attention to me, considering the fact that everyone now knew that I was an Ace wolf. Everything beside me felt like it had life and every movement like it was targeted at me. “Strange woman, you shouldn't be out in the dark by this time.” I heard a voice behind me in the darkness and jumped, screaming as loud as my voice could, “it's okay” the voice continued, and I could make it out to be a man's voice. “Who are you?” I barked, throwing in all the courage that I had left. It was just getting dark and after walking this way all day, I had very little strength left to act tough. There was a soft rustl

Chapter 94 Augustus's POV I wanted to go to her. It was the only thing left to do, but I knew that she was safer far away from here. I had no ideas yet who was responsible for the murder of my ally, and now I was losing the one person that has been keeping me sane. “My king!” I heard Elana's desperate voice calling out to me as it got closer to the door of my office. I was up and ready by the time she got to my door, immediately I let her in and gave her a glass of cold orange juice. “What happened?” I asked, my heart flying to my mouth as I hoped that nothing had gone wrong. “I can't find Olivia anywhere. She is missing my king. I have looked for her everywhere” Elana said, her eyes carrying an unknown fear of the horrors that was probably running through her mind. “Are you sure you have checked everywhere?” I asked her. “Didn't you both sleep together?” She asked me, her eyes now filled with shock. “We do sleep together, just that last night was a tough one for us and

Chapter 93Olivia's POV I was angry with myself. Angry for even softening for him in the first place, I knew the reason for that was because of Alexander's death, one I feared would affect him too much. I cursed myself under my breath, I wasn't supposed to be feeling this way. I hated him now, he had taken everything away from me and I could have sworn that I could not stand the very sight of him. “Take it easy, I could feel your rage all the way from my room” I heard Elana's voice in my ears as I tried to take in the warm garden air. It didn't help, I only felt worse because I knew that this familiar scent was going to be a thing of the past for me once I left. “I'm leaving. He doesn't even want me here. I know he wants his former mate. He has only been pretending” I said sadly and continued packing my bags. “I'll get ready so we can leave together” Elana said, but I noticed the hinge of sadness in her voice. This wasn't what she wanted and I knew. I knew deep down that the only

Chapter 92Augustus's POV My mind was in chaos. I had over a million thoughts running through my mind, most of them being questions that I had not figured out the answers too. My body felt hot, and each minute haunted me with the memories that I had shared with Alexander in this place. “That went well” Olivia said, her calm voice cutting into the chaos in my mind and bringing me peace. I walked to the window, the alcohol bottle clasped tightly in my hands. “I am going to find whoever did this, and I am going to make sure that they pay the ultimate price for it. Alexander can't be dead like that. The guards, no one knew. He died alone” I said, and I closed my eyes, pulling up a mental image of him dying alone and going through the worst pain possible. It was not a pretty sight. “What do you want to do?” She asked me and I turned to her. Olivia had chosen to stay back and help me with this pain, a part of me was grateful, but I needed to make the best decision now. The witches had

Chapter 91Olivia's POV Somehow, we managed to disperse the crowd. The news of my identity was the raging topic on the lips of everybody. Not Alexander. I felt funny, I couldn't believe that Alexander was truly dead, there was a part of me that the information did not just settle in. “I can't believe he is gone. He was the closest to me, and he had made so many sacrifices to ensure that he served me in every lifetime” Augustus's sad voice filtered through my head. “What happened? Who could have done such a thing?” I asked no one in particular because I knew how we all felt about what had happened. The words of Elana filtered into my memory, she had mentioned feeling that something bad was going to happen. And now, something bad has indeed happened. I wanted to ask her more, but Augustus was in no state to be left alone. “Someone is working against me. I think Ariel has taken over another person in the palace. She has to be the one who can do such a terrible thing” he said and pun

Chapter 90Olivia's POV “You don't have to be so harsh on him. This thing happened a long time ago, and you can't compare the man he was to the man he is now” Elana said, much to my annoyance. “Am I getting the feeling that you would rather prefer that I continue staying here? Is that what you are trying to do?” I asked her, not even bothering to hide the fury in my voice.“Of course not. I am on your side, all I am saying is that you have so many good things to hold on to now. You both have a baby on the way, and I am not insensitive enough to ask that you do not take some time for yourself, but it cannot be definite!” She explained and even though I saw the sense in what she was saying, I couldn't deal. “All I want to do now is to go very far away from here, and you know where I am going to. I don't want to hear any other opinion about this because my mind is fully made up” I said and sat down. “Fine. When do we leave?” Elana asked. “Tonight. We leave tonight. I am trying to se
