His Regret, My Escape Chapter 11
Olympia's POV I froze, not knowing what to reply. His piercing gaze was still fixated on me, making me believe they were capable of reaching into my soul. “I'm…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It's just…” I was saying until I got cut short by Head Healer Ryder. “Are you kidding me? That was incredible” he said, his voice dripping of admiration and praise. I looked at him with a shocked expression and said, “Really?” “Of course. Your healing abilities are impeccable,” he answered. I stood still, dumbfounded as I watched the man who had not long ago scorned my qualifications, now singing my praises. “Told you she's good,” Lola said to him, beaming from ear to ear. “And I should have believed you,” he replied. Then turning to face me, he said, “I'm sorry for underestimating you earlier. It's just that we've had many people come in to apply for positions like this and they don't have any experiences and qualifications and when we give them a chance, they mess u

Olympia's POV The following morning, I woke up very early, feeling both nervous and excited at the same time. I was eager to begin my first official day as a healer in the hospital. I had just finished dressing up in the blue uniform that was delivered to the house the previous night when Zayn ran into the room. “Wow Mommy, you look so beautiful,” he exclaimed. “Aww thank you baby,” I replied. “I'm so excited,” he said. “And why’s that, baby?” I asked him. “Aunty Lola said you will be saving lives. I can't wait to tell everyone that my Mommy is a lifesaver,” he said. I felt my heart warm up when he said this. This meant he was proud of me as his mother. I pulled him in for a hug. “Aww baby, mummy is so happy to hear that. Don't worry, I'll do my best to save as many lives as possible, okay?” I said to him and he nodded in excitement. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time to ensure that I wasn't missing anything before grabbing my back and leaving the room. W

Olympia's POV “Those bitches. Why would they treat you that way? I bet they are jealous because you are more beautiful than they are,” Lola said angrily. I simply chuckled at her reaction. We were sitting down to a late dinner, catching up on my first day of work. I had arrived home about an hour ago and Lola insisted we had dinner together. Her statement erupted after telling her about my encounter with the other nurses at the hospital.“Well, I don't blame them. I guess they're just scared of having a new person around. I believe they will adjust with time,” I said.“Whatever. Anyways, How's he?” Lola asked, wiggling her brows.I held a confused expression in my face as I asked,“How's who?”“C'mon girl, you know who I'm talking about,” she said.I rolled my eyes, chuckling.“You mean Head Healer Ryder?” I asked. “Uh-huh,” she answered with a smirk on her face.I blushed while shaking my head, “Lola stop please. He's my boss, and I'm not interested,” I said.Lola raised her eyeb

Olympia’s POV I turned in the direction of the sound to see Head Healer Ryder standing behind me. I could feel my heart racing. His presence silenced the tense atmosphere. He scanned the room with his piercing blue eyes. “I ask again, what’s going on here?” he asked again, his voice sterner than before. “Sorry, Head Healer Ryder. We were just talking to Olympia about her tardiness. We were trying to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Rose said. I opened my mouth to defend myself but Head Healer Ryder raised his hand to stop me. “I’m going to handle this. Olympia, could you come with me to my office?” he said to me and turned to walk away. As I followed him, Veronica, Rose and Nivea had smirks on their faces. When we arrived at his office, a beautiful spacious area, Head Healer Ryder motioned for me to sit down. I thanked him before taking my seat. “Olympia, before I say what I have in mind, I’d first like to know the cause of your tardiness today. Can you explain?” he sa

Olympia's POV If I'm to prepare the east wing for inspection, that means I would have to be available during the inspection.I might even have to lead it.That means Xavier would see me and he might kill me if indeed the message I received years ago was true.Fear gripped my heart.“Olympia, you sure you're okay?” Miranda asked again, looking worried.“I…I think I'm not feeling too well,” I said.A fake cough followed.“Really?” She said, touching my forehead.“But you were fine a while ago. What could be the problem?” she asked.“I don't know. Maybe I need to go home and rest a bit,” I said, trying to keep up the charade.“Oh that's not good. Head Healer Ryder would not be happy about this but your health matters the most. You can go. I'll tell him about your health,” she said.I thanked her and turned to leave but just before I got to the exit, Inehard my name.“Olympia, where are you going to? That's not the way to the east wing,” Head Healer Ryder said.I slowly turned around to

Olympia's POV Is that it? I asked myself. “I…I'm a bit sick,” I lied. “Oh sorry about that. You should take care of your health. You attend to sick people everyday. You don't want to pass it on to them,” he said calmly and I nodded. Maybe he does recognise me, I thought, feeling a bit relieved. “So what's your name?” He asked. I froze once again. If he doesn't recognise me by face, he might recognise me by name. Xavier must have mentioned my name to him. “Young lady, did you hear me?” He asked. “S…sorry sir,” I stammered. I heard snickering behind me and when I looked back, I saw Nivea and her friends laughing at me silently. My fear heightened. But just then, my eyes caught Miranda's and she held a comforting look in her face. I felt a bit relieved before turning back to face Prince Troy. “My…my name's O…Olympia,” I said. “Olympia, that's a good name,” he said. “Thank you, your Highness,” I said. He was quiet for a while as if thinking of something. “Y

Olympia’s POV“Healer Olympia, can I see you in my office please?” Head Healer Ryder said before walking away.“Okay sir,” I answered, watching him leave.I looked at Miranda in surprise. She looked back at me with the same expression on her face.What did he want to see me for? I wondered.I got up from my seat, told Miranda I’d be back and followed Head healer Ryder. When I got to his office, he was already seated in his executive chair.“Sit,” he said and I did.“I want to ask you a question and please be honest with me,” he added.I nodded.“Are Nivea, Rose and Veronica troubling you?” he asked.I froze, not knowing how to respond. I didn’t want anyone to be reprimanded for my sake, especially.“Remember, you have to be honest with me,” he said and I sighed.I had to tell him the truth.“Well, they can be a handful sometimes but it’s nothing I can’t manage,” I said.“That’s not the answer to my question, Olympia. You are supposed to reply with either a yes or no,” he answered wit

Olympia’s POVSitting in Nivea’s living room, my eyes widened in admiration. The interior of her living room looked fantastic and beautiful, nothing like I’ve ever seen. As I looked around the house mindlessly, my eyes caught Nivea’s staring at me. I completely forgot why I was here. There was a brief moment of unspoken words between Nivea and I and it was beginning to get awkward.“Nivea, your home is beautiful,” I said, trying to break the silence.Ignoring me, she said,“Olympia, what brings you here?”I took a deep breath, trying to make sure I choose my words carefully.“I wanted to see how you were doing,” I said.But Nivea scoffed in response.I wasn’t surprised. It was normal expression I had expected from her.“Did you really come to see how I was doing? Or did you come to rub it in my face that you won?” she asked spitefully.“No Nivea, I would never do that. I really came here to see how you were doing. I would have come earlier but I didn’t know how you’d react so I chick

Olympia watched him walk around the front of the Hummer before her numb brain registered that she was alone in the cab. Just as Clive reached her side of the Hummer she quickly locked the door and then reached over and locked the driver’s side door. Maybe she could buy some time, but she had no doubt that the locked doors wouldn’t keep Clive out for long.Clive just stopped, stunned for a moment, glaring at her. “Unlock the door, bitch!” He pulled on the handle. “Unlock the fucking door!”Olympia ignored him. Soon his friend joined him. He said something that Olympia couldn’t hear, and then the two were looking around them toward the ground. Her heart fell when Clive picked up a large rock. Screaming, Olympia scooted away and ducked when he crashed the rock through the window. She jumped into the back seat, and, just as he reached through the broken window she unlocked and pushed the door open to make a run for it.She didn’t get far. His friend caught up to her and forced her back to

Why didn’t I lock the doors? Why didn’t I lock the doors? Olympia kept repeating to herself after the man closed the driver’s side door and locked them inside. She attempted to escape by exiting her side of the Hummer, only to find her hair being snatched by a rough hand. She was soon hauled back and promptly ordered not to do it again.As they sped down the street she glanced out the back window, looking for Xavier, locking gazes with him just as he stopped running behind the Hummer. At least he knew what had happened. He would come after them. She reminded herself of that each time panic began to swell out of control, threatening to paralyze her.She cast a sideways glance at the man, who was driving as if the hounds of hell were chasing him. His hands were gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles were white, and Olympia knew that if she tried to jump from the Hummer now she’d probably be killed.He was young and handsome, yet the twisted expression on his face was a ma

Once Xavier had picked up the scent of his brother, he knew what had killed the bald eagle. Coupled with the fact there were impressions of a wolf’s paw in the mix of mud and footprints around the bird’s cage, his first suspicion had been confirmed. He didn’t understand what Clive had hoped to gain by killing the bird unless it was to leave a message that he hadn’t left the area.Olympia had picked up on Clive’s scent, too. Her wolf’s senses were sharpening and mingling with her human instincts. Soon they would be on and intensified. He couldn’t wait for her to shift into her she-wolf for the first time. Once she accepted her fate, the rest would be easy. She would meet the elders and be officially received into the pack and as his life-mate.As far as Xavier was concerned, there wasn’t anything for Olympia to prove. The elders in any pack rarely refused the joining of an alpha and his natural-born mate. It was only upon the death of an alpha’s mate when he chose another that there wo

A tick appeared in Xavier’s taut jaw. It was clear that he didn’t like her question. She chewed on her bottom lip as the silence stretched between them. He kept his gaze on the road. He had to know she was staring at him and waiting for an answer.Xavier finally looked at her. “I took that choice away from you when I mated with you.” Olympia wasn't sure how she felt about that. Outraged, maybe? She could only stare at him, stunned by his admission.“Oh.” She thought back to the first time that they’d had sex. She’d been burning up inside, and consumed with an inexplicable sexual hunger that had bordered on pain. She’d needed relief fast, and he’d given it to her. A warm blush spread over her when she recalled how good a lover Xavier had been, and how sated and pleasant she’d felt after.She glanced outside her window in time to see them pass Xavier’s rustic cabin. Not long after that a building came into view, identified by the large wood sign that read “Savage Hills Wolf Sanctuary.”
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 63
"How big is Savage Hills?” Olympia asked as they drove away from Rose and Max’s. As the new veterinarian, she needed to know how much area she would be covering. Not that she would turn away an animal in need, but there might be times where she’d be called out to investigate an animal incident, and she didn’t want to overstep her boundaries unless she was called in.“Savage Hills is the whole north side of the mountain,” Xavier explained, giving her a smile. “Including the town at the base of the mountain.”“Oh.” He must be talking about the small, one-street town Olympia had driven through on her way up the mountain. She remembered thinking at the time that it had to be the world’s smallest town, but knowing what she did now, it made sense. She supposed most of the residents of Savage Hills lived, like Xavier did, throughout the forests blanketing the mountains.“So, what kind of personal items do you have back in Havendale that you need? I can send them.”“You’re taking a lot for gr

He halted and pulled away long enough to turn off the water, then turned back to her. To appease his wolf, Xavier flipped Olympia around and pushed her up against the glass. She caught her breath and stilled. He wasn’t sure if it was in fear, or she was waiting for his next move.“Don’t be afraid,” Xavier said against her ear, pressing his body up against hers. “I could never hurt you, but my wolf needs this.”“I’m not,” she whispered, turning her head slightly to look over her shoulder at him. A sharp gasp escaped her when she met his eyes. Then he saw something else in her eyes, a flare of excitement.Xavier knew what Olympia had seen. The wolf lust burning through his body was overpowering every one of his human senses, causing them to morph back and forth out of confusion until, finally, he was able to stop his wolf from coming through. That’s when he picked up Olympia and penetrated her from behind.“You’re so fucking tight,” he growled deeply into her ear as her exquisite silky

What the hell? As soon as Xavier was close enough to see the house and notice that the window bars were down he picked up speed, and so did his heart rate. He heard Max’s curse and realized he was thinking the same thing. Something must have happened for Rose to lower the bars!They reached their clothes and changed back into their human forms without their usual downtime. Neither spoke as they pulled on their pants and then rushed up the steps to the front door. Xavier wasn’t surprised to find it locked, shooting a desperate look at Max for him to hurry. He was in the process of reaching above the door for a key. He unlocked the door and nearly yanked it off the hinges.“Olympia will be in your room,” Max said as they both took the stairs two at a time.It was early and still dark out, so the inside of the house was gloomy. Common sense told Xavier that since the bars were down and the door was locked the women were okay, but he had to see Olympia to calm his fear that something had

Her heart racing, Olympia stood in shock and awe, watching them disappear into the surrounding woods. What she was witnessing before her eyes went beyond rational thought and explanation, yet she couldn’t explain it away, or deny it any longer. She witnessed two men turning into wolves. As soon as she saw the huge silver wolf, she knew that Xavier was the one who’d saved her from the wolf attack a few nights before. Even though he’d admitted as much earlier, a part of her had remained skeptical.She was numbly aware that Rose had taken hold of her hand and was leading her toward one of the porch chairs. She let Rose direct her down into it without protest, her eyes glued to the rapidly disappearing wolves as they joined their waiting friends in the darkness. Then, the night was filled with the sounds of howling and shrieking until that, too, faded away in the black void of the forest beyond.Olympia shivered and glanced at Rose, returning her understanding smile. Inhaling deeply, she

She had a pixie look about her, very petite, but curvy, in an elegant one-piece jumpsuit. The welcoming smile on her face revealed dimples at the corners of her full mouth, and a flickering twinkle in her blue eyes.Brief introductions were made, and then they were walking into a warm house filled with the teasing aroma of something delicious. “Olympia, I wasn’t sure if you were a meat eater or not so I made meatless lasagna.”Olympia was thankful for her consideration. “That was very nice of you. I am a vegetarian, but I do eat fish.” She didn’t miss the amused glances exchanged between Max and Xavier. “Can I do anything to help?”“Nope, everything is done. Should we enjoy a glass of wine before dinner?” Rose asked. She was tiny next to Max, and it was clear by his expression that he adored her.“How about you ladies enjoy some wine while we boys have a glass of something stronger?”“I like the sound of that,” Xavier added.He and Max went straight to a corner bar, while Rose led Oly
