I was so angry with Nigel for pranking me. I stood rooted to my spot, looking stupid. Nolan wasn't bothered that I was pranked. He joined Nigel and Ella to tease me. I frowned. "It's not funny. You made me run all the way here only to find out it was a prank?"Ella chuckled. "I tried to stop you. But you were so determined to fight, you wouldn't stop to listen""She is only trying to save her weak mate" Nolan answeredI batted my lashes. He still remembered I called him weak?. "About that. I'm so sorry I had to call you weak. I was..."Nolan raised an eyebrow. "You were drunk?"I frowned. "No, I wasn't in a good mood"He scoffed. "Was there any day you were ever in a good mood?""I am always in a good mood. You're the one who always gets me pissed off"He frowned. "Are you trying to blame me for your mood swing""I don't have a mood swing""Well to me, you do"Nigel chuckled. "Someone is finally having a couple's fight"I f
NOLANIt's been a while since I last visited the office. I had been busy with school. I decided to visit the company, with Nigel and Bella, today. We will be missing classes today. I woke up early enough to take my bath, and still be able to go through some files my manager had brought home for me. When I was done, I got dressed in a black tuxedo suit and a black Italian shoe to match. I combed my hair and styled it to the side, adding a bit of gel. I checked myself out in the mirror. After making sure I was good to go, I picked up my suitcase and headed downstairs. Bella and Nigel were at the dining room having their usual couple's fight. I chuckled. It made me remember how Nigel had accused me of having a couple's fight with Olive. I rolled my eyes. Talking of Olive, she had been extremely nice these past few days. She doesn't glare like she used to. Someone nudged me, jerking me back to the present. I knew it was Nigel so I glared. "Thinking about her again?" He askedI
Nolan stared at me like he has seen a ghost. "Are you been serious right now?" He asked meI nodded. "I will be your luna for a while"He frowned. "I don't want you as my luna, ok. I've got a new mate"I batted my lashes. "That's isn't possible. You can't get a new mate when I haven't reject you""Point of correction. You did. I was the one who had not accepted it"I rolled my eyes. Whatever. "Do you agree on it?""As I told you before, I've got a new luna. I don't want you"I frowned. "That girl you're flirting with right""You don't accuse me wrongly""I am not accusing you wrongly. It's the truth" I yelledHe scowled. "You don't vent your jealousy on me, ok. You rejected me and that leaves me without a mate. You can't expect me to keep morning you"I pointed my finger at him. "You..."He groaned and stood up. "I shouldn't be having this conversation with you". I watched him walk away and I groaned. I sat down
NOLANTalking to Olive's father, I realized I couldn't blame Olive for some of her attitudes. She was the photocopy of her father. His glarings weren't intimidating to me. He made it clear that nothing should happen to his daughter. Even when I made him understand that Olive can take care of herself and regardless of that, I will make sure she's safe. He kept ringing it to my ear. Nigel couldn't help but giggle, especially when Olive's dad said he thought he was me. I felt like ripping his head off. A woman in her late forties walked in with Olive and Ella trailing behind. I suspected from the resemblance that she would be Olive's mom. She looked calm unlike Olive, who is always aggressive. Olive glared at me and I wondered why. Ella chuckled. "Hi, Nolan"I smiled. "Ella". I stood up to hug her. "You look so gorgeous"She chuckled. "You don't look bad too"Olive hissed and I chuckled. What exactly is wrong with her. "You're Nolan," her mom said, walking closer to
OLIVEI wasn't surprised when he was called Alpha, I just couldn't accept the fact that he was accepted as the alpha of the fire pack. From what I was able to gather, the fire pack was one of the strongest packs during his father's reign. I don't know of now though. But it seems he had been able to maintain that. Ella nudged me and I groaned. "We are waiting for you" she whispered.I rolled my eyes. "For what?"She chuckled. "So we could go to our rooms, I guess"I frowned. She should have just say that, rather than waste my time. "Let's go"We followed Nigel into the packhouse. I couldn't hide my surprise. It was bigger inside than I have ever imagined. The floor was tiled in white with red flowers on it. The wall was painted in gray color, with a touch of white. I batted my lashes. There was no time for me to check out the exterior designs but with what I'm seeing now, I could tell what the outside would look like. "Hey, girl. You will have time to check t
NOLANI was chatting with Bethany when I saw them walked in. Ella was the first I saw. She smiled and I smiled back. I wanted to ask after Olive but I decided against it. Olive walked in some seconds later. I batted my lashes. I was lost staring at her. She was dressed in a black skirt and white shirt. That was the first time I saw her dressed in a female cloth. She looked so beautiful, though her hair was short. Ella chuckled and winked at me. I smiled and continue my chat with Beth. I was curious to know Olive's reaction, so I stared at her from the side view. I could tell she was becoming uncomfortable. I wasn't sure if it was because I was talking to Beth or because she wasn't used to wearing female clothing. I ended my chat with Beth and gestured to Ella to follow me. As I went upstairs, I could hear Olive talking to Beth. I ignored them and went to the office.**I was going through some documents my manager had brought in for me when the door opened. Olive walk
OLIVENolan left and Nigel walked up to me. "Welcome to the company," he said, stretching his hand to shake me.I rolled my eyes. "Do we have to do this?""Of course. This shows you are been welcome to the company. They did the same to me" Bella answered, walking closer to usI groaned. "Ok". I stretched my hand to Nigel and we had a handshake."You should get yourself familiar with the rest. I will show Ella around" Bella said. She gestured to Ella. "Ella, let's go"They wanted to leave, but Nigel stopped them. "Bella, wait. I will go with you"I rolled my eyes. "You're leaving too?". He nodded. "Then who will show me around?"He chuckled. "Nolan will. You work directly with him"I frowned. "That's not fair. I should be able to go with you"Nigel sighed. "Well, I wish you could go with us but if Nolan doesn't see you in few minutes, he will pull down the roof of this place and we don't want that. Am I right?"Bella nodded. "He
NOLANI turned on my bed feeling so tired. I won't be going to the office today. Yesterday was so stressful. We had gone to the Lycan pack to help them. They were attacked by Salvador and had sent a message of help to Martins. Martins was a member of the Lycan pack. At first, I never wanted to go with them. I just wanted to send Martins and a few others to go help them but when I had it was Salvador who attacked them, I changed my mind. I am happy I did. Remembering what happened at the Lycan pack yesterday, I smiled.<Flashback>I was at the office, going through sole files when my phone rang. I checked the caller. It was Martins. I furrowed my brows. Why is he calling me?. I cut the call and Olive stared at me. I rolled my eyes. The phone rang again and I groaned. For Martins to keep calling me, it means there has to be an emergency. I dropped the phone. Olive stopped up. "Where are you going?"She sighed. "I can see you have a call but you don't want to
OLIVEI don't know what Natasha had been telling Nolan before I came in but I heard her tell him to leave. I heard her tell him I wasn't going to leave my pack because of him. She was right. I wasn't going to make that decision before and I am not going to make it now. When I waited for him to come to stop me, I had thought of changing my mind. I had feared I might change my mind if he shows up. I had thought I will reject my pack for him. That was the only way I thought I could prove to him that I love him. That I am willing to sacrifice the things that make me happy, for him.But having waited for a long time, hoping he would show up and he never did, I realized I was wrong. I shouldn't change my mind. I should not think of staying back because I will regret it. As I stepped my legs out of the fire pack gate, I made up my mind never to show up again at the fire pack. Never to think of seeing him again. I made up my mind to leave with the pain and never love anyone again.
NOLAN"You are not going to make her stay?" Nigel asked and I shook my head. "You will let her go without a fight?""I can't keep her with me" I answered flipping the pages of the book I was holding."You are letting her go for the second time, without a fight?"I closed the book and sighed. "I don't want her to regret staying back here""Do you think of how she feels?. Why did you not let her make her decision herself?""She was going to leave, I know that. I just don't want her to feel bad leaving me. I don't want to be pitied""Nolan, letting her go isn't the best option. Do you think she will reject you?"I shrugged. "I can't say""If she doesn't reject you, you won't be able to resist her for long""She will have to reject me""And you will lose half of your power. If you are not strong enough you might lose your wolf. What about her?. What if she dies?"I blinked. "She is not going to die. She is strong enough to take
We were there when the elders made their final decision on Salvador and his accomplice. They were sentenced to death by hanging. Just what I wanted, though I would have preferred Salvador to be killed by me. But watching them being hanged, for the first time, I felt their punishment was too harsh. "They should have sent them away like before" I had thought as they closed their eyes to their final breath.I do not know why I suddenly had compassion for them. They killed my parents, killed Ella's dad and some of our pack members lost their lives for their sale. They killed Nolan's parents too and other people that had lost their lives. Why should I have compassion for them?. Why should I feel sad that they were killed?.I watched them being brought down and ready to be buried and I sighed. If I had killed them myself would I feel this bad?. Is this the reason Nolan stopped me from killing him?. Different thoughts ran through my mind as we returned home. I locked myself in my
OLIVEI was surprised Ella wanted to go face Salvador. Though I know she could do it, I worried for no reason. Having lost my parents and knowing the pain that comes with it, I wasn't ready to lose anyone else. When Nolan looked at me to know if he should let her go, I couldn't say no. I wanted badly to say no. To stand on my ground that someone else should go.But looking around the room, I realized I don't want to lose any of them. Not even Martin or Arden who had been of great help to us. I realized in as much as I love Ella, I love every one of them too. But the work to be done must be done by one of us. I wouldn't risk letting someone else do it. Nolan will not accept too, after being betrayed twice.It's surprising how he had come to trust every one of us in the room. I suspected he find it difficult to trust people. Within these recent days, Nigel had told me what had happened to him and I realized he had passed through a lot more than I am doing right no
Nolan"If you love me and care so much about me as you claim. You will come with me" that was the words she said and I found myself following her. "Nolan" Nigel calledI stopped. "Nigel, get more men. I will go with her. I can't let her get hurt" I answered"Did you... I mean, you completed your mating...""Let's talk about this later. Just do as I say"He nodded. "Be safe, brother""I will"I left Nigel and ran after Olive. "Olive" I called. She stopped walking and turned. "I will go with you". She shrugged. "Do you have any plans?"She sighed. "Stop being worried. If your mind is clear, I will be able to think well"I nodded. "Ok""Can we go now?""Sure"I wasn't sure if she knew where Salvador had gone to but I followed her anyway. "Are we going on foot?"She nodded. "I saw him run past this place""What if he left already?""I know. I just need a few things. We might have to look for his new location agai
OLIVESeeing how easy our first attack was, I was hopeful, we will get Salvador soon. Although the alphas of the packs we caught were not ready to tell us where to find Salvador, I was still hopeful. They were the loyal ones who despite he was the reason why they were driven from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. He must have something he had been using against them.I knew I needed to find out what that was. They will help us get words out of their mouths. We returned to the fire pack, leaving Martins and his men as guards with them. I trusted him to do a good job. He is the ruthless alpha's, right-hand man. and is strong enough to withstand anything. Arden was there to help him too. Though we had plans to hand them over to the elders who had sent them to exile for a proper judgment, we needed to keep them safe until the right time.Although Salvador won't be taken to the elders for judgment. They had given us the go-ahead to kill him when we
We were deep into the woods and night was setting in already. I knew Ella and the rest would be searching for us. They might be calling our names. We can't stay here and will need to return home. It was getting cold and she might catch a cold. I stood up and pulled my coat. I dropped it on the floor. "I will stay behind that tree over there. You can change and wear this coat. Call me when you're done"I stood behind the tree waiting for her to call me. While I wait, I could not help but wondered what would have happened if I did not show up. Seeing her kill them, I could not help but wonder who they are and what she planned on doing after that. I have fear, she might do worst than that and I won't be there to stop her. "I should have marked her. That will help me track her". Though she is my mate, I can only get her scent from a short distance. If she's far away from me, I won't be able to get her scent. "Maybe I should complete the mating". I groaned. We are not on good terms,
NOLANThe door closed behind Olive and I sighed. What has gotten into her?. Why is she so bent on getting Salvador?. Why isn't she thinking about the risk?. If it was easy to get him, I would have gotten him right before he attacked her pack. "I will go check how she is doing," Bella said in a concerned tuneI nodded. "And me too," Ella said standing up.I nodded but said nothing. I picked up the paper she dropped in front of me. I stared at it, studying the plan she mapped out. I noticed it was a very good plan if only it was as easy as she has written it. I sighed. Why can't she understand things can't be done like that?. "You were once like her. Remember?" My subconscious mind said. "You were once blinded by revenge" it addedI nodded. Yes, I was once like her, blinded by revenge. I once thought a lot about the perfect way to get Salvador. I had tried so many ways to get him but as days became months and months, years. I have come to realize that I can't get t
OLIVEMy pack members were happy to hear that I am mated to the ruthless alpha. I guess that took away the fear that had been looming in their hearts. When Nolan ended his meeting with them and I called them for mine, they were so happy they kept thanking me. I realized there was nothing to talk to them about. I had come to know why they had thought I needed a mate now that my parent are dead, but after what Nolan did, there was no need for that anymore.I returned to the mountain pack after speaking to my pack members, about random things. Seeing them so happy and at rest, after hearing that Nolan is the ruthless alpha and also my mate, I knew I had nothing to worry about. Ella and Bella offered to follow me. And though I told them not to, they wouldn't budge. When we got to the mountain pack, Ella hugged me. "I'm happy you accepted Nolan""I did not accept him, for real. You know that. I only did that for my pack member" I answered"Are you sure you did that fo
