Olympia’s POV Days passed since Nivea and her friends got reinstated back to the hospital. Things have been going on pretty smoothly and they’ve been nice to me. This made me feel better and comfortable around the hospital. My relationship with my family and my friendship with Miranda was growing stronger. My life was going great. Until it almost didn’t. I was sent to the palace to deliver some medications to Prince Troy. I didn’t want to go at first because I feared I’d bump into Xavier. I wanted to ask Head Healer Ryder to give the assignment to someone else but it would raise some questions that I feared to answer so I decided to go. But not without wearing a face mask first. When I got to the prince’s room, he looked happy to see me for some weird reason. “Healer Olympia, right?” he asked. “Yes, your highness,” I replied with a smile. “It’s so good to see you again and with a nose mask once again. Are you always sick?” he asked, chuckling. “No, not today. I’m do
Olympia's POV I slowly opened my eyes to find myself on a hospital bed.“She’s waking up,” the familiar voice of Lola said.Lola?What is she doing here? I wondered.“Lola, why are you here?” I asked weakly.“I got a call that something happened to you. I had to rush down here,” Lola replied, with a worrisome look on her face.“What are you talking about?” I asked, confused.“We were discussing in my office and you suddenly collapsed. Are you okay?” Head Healer Ryder said.“I guess I'm just a bit tired. Wasn't able to get enough sleep last night?” I answered.“Well, you have to take the day off. Go home, get enough rest and you can resume tomorrow if you feel better,” Head Healer Ryder said.I sat up saying,“I feel better right now. I don't have to go home.”“No, I insist you go home. And that's final,” he said with a firm voice.At this point, I knew there was no refusing. Lola took me home and looked after me till I fell asleep.I was woken up by Zayn tapping me on the shoulder.“
Olympia's POV I sat in my seat, stunned by this new revelation. My eyes never left Miranda. How could I not have known?Now that I think about it, it makes sense now why on several occasions she called Head Healer Ryder by his name. I always wondered why she did that but my mind never went to this. “Look guys, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hide such a huge secret from you two. It's just that…” she trailed off “Fine, I don't have any reasonable explanation to give for why I never mentioned it. Perhaps I was looking for the best time. I'm really sorry guys,” she said, looking really apologetic.But I was too angry to accept her apology. Why would she hide such a huge secret from me? I thought we were best friends. While I was busy judging her, I suddenly realized that I was doing the same thing. I was hiding from her the secret that Xavier, the Lycan King, was the father of my child and my second chance mate.I lied to her about the reason why we moved here. I slowly realized that
Olympia's POV “Head Healer Ryder?” I said in shock.He was standing in front of me with a mischievous grin across his handsome face.“What are you doing?” I asked, trying to conceal the fear in my voice.“I'm sorry if I startled you. It's just that I needed to get you alone,” he said.“Why? You could have called me to your office if that was the case. You really startled me,” I replied.“I'm so sorry. You've been avoiding my office for a while and I didn't know how else to get you alone so I did this,” he replied, a smile on his face.Staring at his gorgeous face, I felt my anger and fear slowly evaporating. “Just don't do that next time. Please,” I said.“Of course. As long as you stop avoiding me,” he said, his smile widening.I felt butterflies in my belly. I had to look away from him and asked,“So what is it you wanted to talk to me about?” “Like I said earlier, you've been avoiding me. Is it because of my proposal?” He asked.I turned to face him and saw that his smile had be
Olympia's POV The drive to our secret destination was short. He got out of the car and opened the door for me again like a gentleman.He then took me to a lakeside restaurant, nestled under the light of the full moon. There were candlelit tables at the shore and soft music playing in the background.“Wow,” I whispered.“Do you like it?” He asked me.“I love it. It's beautiful,” I said, not looking away from the scene before me.“Just like the woman before me,” be answered.My heart skipped a bit as I turned to look at him and saw him already staring at me in admiration.I looked away shyly.“Let me take you to our table,” he said.He took my hand and led me to our table. Over dinner, our conversation flowed effortlessly. It was almost as if we'd known for years.Laughter, shared stories and sparkling eyes created an unforgettable night until the dark sky filled with bright stars and a full moon.As the evening drew to a close, Head Healer Ryder reached for my hand. His touch on my s
Olympia’s POVBut I didn’t.Days passed and I wasn’t able to summon enough courage to talk to Zayn about it. I feared what his reaction would be. Like Lola said, I decided to think about my decision carefully.One day, Zayn fell ill and could not go to school. I had to take permission from work to take care of him. I realized I had to get to the market to get some herbs to prepare a concoction for him to drink.As I was walking out of the market, I didn’t notice the sleek black car speeding around the corner. I almost got hit but luckily, the driver stopped a few inches from me.I jumped back in fright. My heart was racing. I was about to unleash my anger on the driver but my words froze in my throat when I saw who was seated in the back seat of the car.Xavier.Time seemed to stand still and panic gripped me. He looked up and I swiftly turned around so he wouldn’t see my face. I heard the driver calling for me, probably to compensate me for almost killing me but I ignored him and wal
Olympia's POV Zayn accepting Ryder made me really happy. Now all I had to do was to tell Ryder.I dialed Ryder's number as butterflies danced in my stomach. “Hi Ollie,” Ryder's warm, husky voice answered.He sounded excited to hear my voice.“Hey Ryder,” I replied, trying to sound as casual as possible.“How are you?” He asked.“I'm good and you?” I replied.“I can't say I'm doing well,” he answered.My excitement changed into worry as I asked,“Why? What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?” “My physical body is doing okay but I can't say the same for my heart. I was so sad that you didn't come to work today. Anyways, enough about me. How is Zayn doing?” he asked.I smiled shaking my head before answering,“He's better now. Thanks for giving me the day off to tend to him.”“It's okay. So why did you call this late?” He asked.“Were you busy or asleep? I'm sorry if I woke you or disturbed,” I replied.“No, not at all. I'm just worried that you're calling by this time. I hope there is
Olympia’s POVRyder drove Zayn and I back home. I had already called Lola to tell her that we were on our way so she could open the door for us.When we returned to the house, she opened the door and took Zayn in, leaving Ryder and I standing outside.As we stood in front of my door, he said,“Well, I had a great time with you and Zayn. I wish we could do this more often.”“Me too,” I replied.Then there was a brief moment of silence before he spoke again.“So, what happens now? Zayn knows about us now and I think he approves. Does that mean you’ll be my…?” he trailed off.I giggled and said,“Yes Ryder. I’ll be your girlfriend.”His yellow eyes widened in excitement at my response. “Really?” he asked, as if he couldn’t be sure if I was kidding or not.“Yeah,” I said, barely above a whisper.Before I knew it, he pulled me towards him and captured my lips with his. A small grow, escaped the back of his mouth and I could feel the heat.We pulled apart for a while, gasping for air.Then
With her plans for Coral now set in motion, she e-mailed the rough plan of the areas that she wanted her training in across to Eva and placed her phone on the bed at her side.Now all she had to do was get hold of Coral and let her know she would be going with Eva tomorrow.Olympia made her way out of their suite after letting Xavier know where she was going and headed down towards the Omega quarters, in the hopes that she would find her there.It wasn't long before she found some of the omegas milling about in the hallway, and as soon as they saw her, they stood and bowed their heads respectfully."I'm looking for Coral. Have any of you seen her?"The girls exchanged a look and pointed down the hallway."Last bedroom on the right your highness." They answered in unison, keeping their eyes firmly fixed on the floor.Olympia frowned and nodded her thanks as she made her way down to the bottom of the corridor and knocked gently on the door."Coral? Are you there?" There was a muffled so
After finishing up with Bartholomew, Olympia, and Xavier made their way back to their room. Xavier had some contracts to go over and was determined to conference call Allen and find out exactly what was going on.He had promised Olympia that he wouldn't get too angry with him, but he wanted him to know just how disappointed with him he was. Things could have been so different if he had just acknowledged his bond with Lexi from the start and embraced it. He was an idiot, and Xavier felt that it was about time that someone told him that seriously.Olympia still had to finalize details with Eva for Coral's training and she wanted to at least be able to provide her with a full itinerary for the training schedule so she settled herself on the bed and began drawing up a loose schedule.Once she was done she grabbed her phone and called her. The sooner it was arranged, the better, in her opinion, as it seemed that things were going to get incredibly busy if delegates were arriving already.
Bartholomew sat back in his chair and steepled his fingers in front of him as his eyes took on a far-away look.He had known Greyson since he was a young boy, and seeing him develop into the man he was today filled him with pride.To think that he was going to be thrown into the midst of the Royal Family and the tribulations that they were facing made his heart hurt a little, but there was no man more capable and more loyal than Greyson was, in his opinion."Commander Greyson is a good man, my Queen. You have nothing to worry about from him." Bartholomew answered finally with a smile."I understand; however, I don't have the luxury of knowing him as you do, Bartholomew, so if you would care to elaborate, I would be very grateful. I have known Lexi since we were children and if anything, it will put my heart at ease to know that whoever she chooses, she will be taken care of well."'I'm telling you, Olympia, she won't choose between them. My bet is on her taking both of them.''You don
Bartholomew sighed heavily as he poured fresh coffee into their cups and they took them gratefully."Well, it seems that Lexi has found herself at the center of a love triangle, which unfortunately resulted in a brief scuffle in the common dining area for guests." He explained carefully.'Oh she'll hate that..' Maeve sniggered sarcastically as Olympia frowned."Already? But she hasn't been here that long…" Olympia said, a little awestruck at how easily Lexi seemed to find herself in these situations."I understand that Lexi is quite a colorful character, but…does she often find herself in these situations?" Xavier asked incredulously as he stared at Olympia slightly open-mouthed."I think you are both getting the wrong idea here." Bartholomew interrupted quickly as they both refocused their attention on him. "It appears that both males involved seem to be under the impression that they have some sort of claim on her."Xavier snorted."Good luck with that. I can't see Lexi allowing any
After the exertions of the morning, both Olympia and Xavier had napped briefly before making their way to the dining hall and grabbing some lunch, before heading down to Bartholomew's office for a meeting that had been scheduled, only to find Lexi already there.Olympia marveled at the way that Lexi had seemingly grown fond of this particular Elder and was happy to let her guard down around him. The fact that she was reclined so comfortably in an unfamiliar place and clutching a drink in her hand so casually made Olympia incredibly happy.There were very few places where Lexi was truly accepted for who she was, and after initially being concerned that she would encounter a lot of difficulties here as well, she was pleased to have been proven wrong."Oh, wonderful! I'm pleased you came! I've been boring Lexi with tales of my past exploits for longer than she has cared to imagine I'm sure!" Bartholomew chuckled as he stood to greet them."He's a filthy liar!"Lexi interjected casually wi
Lexi was stunned.She was completely overwhelmed by the sensation of his lips against hers and their insistent movements, as if desperate to claim her as his own. She wanted to lose herself in this moment completely and her heart craved him between her legs but there was something niggling at the back of her mind and it was stopping her from immersing herself completely in the moment.The subtle hum of conversation returned to the room as people carried on as if nothing had happened, but for Lexi, everything had changed.Allen hated her and everything that she stood for, and he infuriated her with his constant pompous demands, so why would he do this now?Was he jealous because she had clicked instantly with Greyson? Greyson, the man who had stepped in to defend her in a heartbeat and didn't seem to give a shit about where she came from or how she acted.As the frantic panic of the thoughts in her mind brought her to her senses, she pushed away from Allen, glaring at him in disbelief.
At the mere sight of him, Lexi suddenly had no desire to tease Allen at this moment in time. Looking at him like this, with the anger rolling off him in waves and the vein pulsing in his neck angrily, he looked dangerous. That was something that she had never seen in him before.She swallowed nervously as he came to a stop before her, his chest heaving with anger. The golden irises of his wolf shone through brightly as he glowered down at her, the cloud of anger almost suffocating her as it seemed to envelop her completely."What the fuck are you doing here with him?" Allen snarled, with barely suppressed rage as Lexi stared at him, utterly transfixed by the metamorphosis of the quiet, restrained man that she had teased mercilessly to this vision of terrifying anger before her."I..uh.." she stammered, completely taken aback by his sudden appearance and the whole situation."Not a good answer, Lexi." He ground out as he took hold of her arm roughly and attempted to pull her up from h
Lexi had wandered with Greyson for a little while, making small talk as she allowed him to take the lead with the direction that they were headed.She found herself pleasantly surprised by his ability to hold a conversation and he didn't seem to fawn over her, nor reject her which intrigued her greatly.Men usually reacted in one of those two ways, and to find one who didn't was indeed a rarity.It did cross her mind briefly that he may indeed be hiding his true feelings about her, but there was no discernible cause to do so in her mind unless it was to try to get information out of her about Olympia of course. But, he hadn't brought her up in the conversation until now, so she was hesitant to condemn him so quickly."Is everything okay?" Greyson asked, stopping suddenly as he noticed her frown and his expression seemed to mirror her own as he frowned back at her in concern."Er, yeah? Why?" Lexi stammered defensively, a little shocked that he had even noticed."You're frowning. I did
Get out and seal the doors. No one leaves this chamber until I am finished, am I clear?" He growled as Ely scurried backward like a frightened mouse and fled through the doorway, the heavy doors swinging closed with an ear-splitting bang.Before Ada could steal a frightened glance at her mother, the male's boots appeared in front of her limited line of vision again and she felt a slight breeze ripple across her. It was obvious that he had now grabbed Narcissa roughly by the throat and lifted her into the air beside her, as the only thing visible from her position were the tips of her mother's boots dangling above the ground."Now, Narcissa. It seems you have forgotten the great honor that was bestowed upon you all those years ago." the male chastised in a bored tone over the sounds of Narcissa struggling for breath.His footsteps receded a little and Ada raised her head slightly. It was such a small movement, but it allowed her to follow the progress of her mother's feet across the ex
