Greater than mate bond

Olivia's POV

“Mates,” my wolf Lolita howled loudly in my head, sending a different type of sensation all over my body.

With stunned and dumbfounded eyes, I stared at the two men before me, who also had their eyes on me. Just like me, they both looked shocked, and they weren't even trying to hide it. My breath seized, and my palms became sweaty as I tried to stop myself from taking a step towards them. Their scents of woods and mint brushed through my nose, and I felt my knees quivered as the intoxicating smell hit all my senses.

“Greet them, baby,” Austin’s words pulled me back to reality, and I had to blink my eyes repeatedly before I took my gaze off them and looked at Austin, who seemed ignorant and had a smile on his face. “You have to bow before them,” he gestured, and I gulped before looking back at the two most handsome men I have ever seen in my life.

Slowly, with my eyes interlocked with theirs, I took a step forward and then I bowed before lifting my gaze again to meet theirs. Gosh, they have the most incredible set of green eyes I have ever seen on anyone.

“Are you okay?” Austin asked as he came to stand beside me. “Yes, I'm just a bit nervous,” I lied with a weak smile while he chuckled and placed a kiss on my cheek in front of the men. “You don't have to be scared of them,” he assured me, and then he turned to his brothers. “Can you please take those stern looks off your face? You are scaring her,” Austin pouted, but they didn't say a word to him; rather, they turned and walked out on us.

“Mate,” Lolita cried in my head, but I totally ignored her. I can't let her spoil my game; I came into this mansion with a mission. The plan was to get into this family and destroy them, but I never knew I would turn out to be the mate to his brothers.

“They are always not like this,” Austin assured me with a comforting smile, and I smiled. “Let's go in; my parents are waiting,” he said, and I nodded and walked beside him.

As we made our way towards the door that led to the sitting room, my gaze scanned around the gigantic mansion before me. Men and guards were positioned at each end of the mansion. I sucked a deep breath and then entered the sitting room with Austin.

When I got in, a woman who I assumed was Austin’s mother walked up to us with a welcoming smile on her face. She got to where we stood and pulled Austin into a tight hug, and after pulling away, she turned to face me, and her smile widened.

“You must be Olivia,” she said, and I faked a smile. How I so much hate this woman. She was the first on my list to be killed. “My goodness, you are so beautiful,” she complimented me, and I faked another smile before bowing to her.

“Come on, you don't have to do that,” she said and took both my hands into hers. “You will be the future daughter-in-law of this family, so there is no need to be so formal with me,” she said, and I faked another smile. I wish I could just strangle her with my bare hands.

“Forgive my manners. Please come and have a seat,” she gestured to me, and with another fake smile, I walked over to the couch and took a seat while Austin sat beside me and took my hand into his. I felt disgusted by it, but I have to endure it until I succeed in my plans.

“She is so beautiful. You never told me she was this beautiful,” she scolded Austin, who only laughed and smiled at me. I moved my gaze around the sitting room, and that was when I saw two men walking down the stairs. Without being told, I knew the two men were Sir Darwin and Darin, the two men who caused my mother so much pain. A sudden anger rose within me as I watched them climb down the stairs; I just wished I could start killing them right at that moment.

“Fathers,” Austin stood on his feet, and I followed suit. Austin walked up to them, and they both hugged him with smiles and love on their faces. An angry grunt left my lips as I saw how happy they looked, how could they be this happy after what they did to my mother.

“Father, meet my fiancée, Olivia. Baby, these are my fathers, the famous Sir Darin and Darwin,” Austin introduced us, and with the best possible smile I could bring, I bowed my head to them before lifting my head up to hold their gaze.

The two older men didn't say a word to me; rather, they took steps towards me and stopped where I stood. They looked at me with a quizzical look, and one of them shook his head and held my gaze. “You look so much like someone I knew,” he said, and then I knew he must be talking about my mother because I looked so much like her, at least from the pictures I saw.

I faked a smile, and then I bowed my head again before lifting up my gaze. “My name is Olivia Clinton, and my mother is Gift Clinton,” I lied, and they both hummed. “You have a striking resemblance to a friend,” one of the men spoke, and I frowned. How dare him call my late mother his friend.

“Have your seat,” they gestured, and I faked another smile before taking my seat.

The men took the seats before me and then moved their gaze around. “Where are Alpha Leo and Theo?” one of the men asked, and Lady Victoria responded. “They went to attend to something important,” she responded and I sighed within me. Those two men were my mates, and I knew they also knew about it, and that was why they couldn't stand me. The thought of being their mate worries me. The plan was to wipe away every member of this family, but as the moon goddess would have it, she decided to make me a mate to the two men whose fathers sent my mother to her early grave.

“Are you from this pack?” one of the men asked, and I shook my head. “No, I'm not from this country or this pack. I'm from Crystal Pack in London,” I responded, and the both men nodded. “Your Alpha is a good friend to our sons,” he said, and I smiled. “Austin told me you are a writer,” he asked, and I nodded. “Yes, I'm a novelist,” I responded, and a smile appeared on the face of Lady Catherine. “Austin sent me one of your books; my dear, you are an incredible writer,” she praised while I faked a smile. How I wish I could just kill her.

“You are welcome, my dear. Dinner will be ready soon, so why don't you freshen up and take a bath? I believe the journey was a long one,” she said, and I flashed another fake smile at her. My cheek hurt from those smiles.

“Grace,” she called out, and a young girl rushed in, bowing her head. “I'm sorry, but I have to give you a separate room from Austin's,” she said, and Austin murmured. “Come on, Mother, we are engaged, and…" Austin tried speaking, but she cut him off. “I'm doing this for Olivia; as a woman, she will need her privacy. I'm married to your fathers, but I have my personal room,” she said and then turned to me. “Hope you are okay with it, my dear?” She asked, and I frowned within me. Who is her dear? If only she knows that I was her worst nightmare.

I faked a smile. “Yes, ma'am, it's fine by me,” I said and got a groan from Austin. Obviously, he wasn't happy with the arrangement.

Lady Catherine smiled at me before turning to the servant. “Please show Olivia her room and make sure she has whatever she needs to be comfortable,” she told the maid, who nodded.

I faked a grateful smile at her and then stood to my feet. “Thanks for the hospitality," I said, and bowed my head to them before leaving with the maid.

While I took the stairs, I could feel their admiring gaze on me. To them, they have seen a perfect wife for their son. If only they knew what I have in store for each one of them.

The maid led me to the third floor of the mansion, and we walked past a hallway before she stopped at the third door. “This is your room, my lady.” She opened the door and stepped aside for me to go in. I got in and scanned the beautifully decorated room. Everything and more was in the room, including a big-screen TV.

Aunt Lilian wasn't wrong when she said these people were filthy rich.

“Do you like your room, ma'am?” She asked, and I frowned. “Please call me Olivia,” I said to her, but she didn't seem to agree with it. “And yes, I like the room,” I added, and she smiled. “Do you need me to get you anything?” She asked, but I shook my head. “Nothing for now. You can leave,” I told her, and she bowed before leaving the room.

A sigh left my lips as I moved my gaze around the room, and then I took a seat on one of the single-seater couches. I sighed and then decided to speak to my wolf, which I had kept at bay. “Lolita,” I called out to her.

“You've finally released me,” she growled in my head. “Alpha Leo and Theo are our mates,” she announced, and I frowned. “Are you sure about it, or are you saying this because you want a mate desperately?” I accused, and my wolf growled. “Stop it, Oli, you know this is the truth. Can't you see that they also felt it?" She argued, and I sighed.

I knew she was right, but hell no, I wouldn't allow the mate bond stop me from avenging my mother's death. My revenge is greater than any mate bond.
