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.

    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 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

It's just some girly issues between Lola and I. I'm sure we'd be fine,” I said. “I'm sure you two would. You two are so close and I'm sure you would settle your differences soon enough,” he said with a smile. “Thank you,” I said with a smile.“You're welcome,” he replied, smiling back.“Now where were we?” I said with a smirk on my face as I pulled him close to me and planted my lips on his.As we kissed, small growls kept escaping the back of our mouths and the room was getting hot.We didn't stop until we heard a knock on his door. We quickly pulled apart and tried to adjust ourselves.Ryder ran back to his seat and brought out a document to make it look like we were discussing some patient he asked the person to

    Chapter 49Their gazes met and clung as she slowly pulled the tie until it slipped loose. The size of his erection parted the built-in split, but it wasn’t enough. Olympia took hold of the waistband and just as slowly pulled his bottoms down. She dropped with them, keeping her gaze on Xavier’s but very aware of how close his sex was to her face. His cock was long and thick and bobbed as if inviting her to put her mouth on him. The musky scent of his arousal sucked her in.It was an intoxicating aphrodisiac.Olympia couldn’t help it. As she began to rise, she stuck her tongue out and gave his cock a long sweep from where it jutted out at his balls, to the dripping, bulbous head. She heard Xavier's hiss, and then he was hauling her into his arms."I'm going to enjoy fucking you." He kissed her roughly.Being crushed against his naked, aroused body fueled Olympia’s arousal to dizzying heights. His cock slid between her thighs and over her pussy like a hot poker, burning her while turnin

    Oh my god!Olympia slammed the door shut and locked it. She was trapped in the home of a man who thought he could change into a wolf! She’d gone to the door to ask Xavier if he minded if she made another pot of coffee when she’d heard him say, “I want her, cousin.” Though her name hadn’t been mentioned, instincts warned her that they were talking about her. She couldn’t believe what she’d heard following that.She’d always been curious by nature, too curious; her mother would scold her when she was little. But nothing could draw her away from the door at that point. She stepped back into the shadows when Xavier got up from the steps, only revealing herself when she sensed that their conversation was ending.Terrified, her gaze darted around the room for something, anything she could use as a weapon. All she wanted now was to get out of there alive. The doorknob rattled behind her, and Olympia swung around with a cry. Then, before her disbelieving eyes, the door was kicked in and Xav

    SHE’S IN HEAT,” WAS the first thing out of Max’s mouth as the two men sat down on the porch steps.An abrupt laugh escaped Xavier that had little to do with humor. “Yeah, I've noticed. It’s been fucking hell.” Keeping his distance, ignoring the pull of her scent would break a weaker man, but that man wasn't him.“You haven’t mated her yet?”Xavier shook his head. “She doesn’t know why she’s here. I at least owe her an explanation before I claim her.” He only hoped that he could hold out.Max chuckled. “You think that’s going to make a difference? Maybe if she’d grown up within the pack and knew our ways, knew what to expect. She was raised differently, cousin. She doesn’t even know that we exist.”“Seeing is believing. Besides, it doesn’t matter what she believes. She’s my mate, and she’ll have to comply with our laws.”It’s going around that you and Clive fought over a woman last night. I’m assuming it was Serena.” Max frowned. “I’m confused over your hostility toward her though. You

    Olympia sighed and moved against the soft blankets, confused by what was happening to her. She was alive, but more than that, her body was consumed with a fierce need she couldn’t will away, and she didn’t want to. The feeling coursing through her was stronger than she’d ever known, a hunger that was going to eat her up if she didn’t do something about it, and soon.Was she still sleeping, or locked in some kind of sensual dream? She couldn’t seem to open her eyes. Everything seemed intensified, her heartbeat, her breathing, the erotic rush that followed the caress of her hands as she touched herself. Oh, God! What’s happening to me? Olympia caressed her aching breasts and taut nipples before her hand glided down to the pulsing flesh between her legs.God, I’m so hot!She parted her thighs and touched her tingling clit. It was as hard as a rock and twice the normal size. Rapture overwhelmed her at that slightest touch, causing her to arch her hips off the bed. Why am I so horny? Wha

    Xavier stared down at Olympia as she slept; satisfied that she was going to be okay now that she was dry and warm. Once he’d gotten her back to his cabin he’d stripped her and wrapped her in blankets warmed in front of the fire. Hypothermia would have been the least of her troubles had his half-brother Ryder gotten to her first.Even knowing that Olympia was born his mate, Ryder had been hell bent on getting to her first and leaving his mark on her. That would have ruined the elders’ plans, but it wouldn’t have stopped Xavier from claiming her as his. Wolves only had one mate, and they mated for life. As the alpha male in the pack, they could deny him nothing.He’d sensed her presence almost from the moment she’d arrived in Savage Hills, at his invitation, and under the promise of a job. It hadn’t taken him long to locate her, either. Her scent was a powerful aphrodisiac to him, tempting the wolf in him to come out, to seek and protect. The urge to claim her was stronger than he’d ant

    The answer became clear the second the wolf began to paw and slam against the driver’s side window with bruising force. Ollie wasn’t going to hang around to see what he was going to do before she made up her mind. He was after her, and going by his frenzied actions, he didn’t want her to pet him. She struggled to her feet, blinking against the pounding rain. It didn’t matter which way she went, she only knew that she had to run.She turned toward the woods and didn’t think twice about heading for them. Barely paying attention to the branches and leaves that were striking her body, she ran as fast as she could, blindly into the cold, wet darkness, aware that the wolf’s mate was somewhere out there, too, and possibly with the rest of the pack.Ollie ran until she couldn’t run any further. Out of breath and with a painful stitch in her side, she fell to her knees. She grabbed her side, wheezing and panting, listening for any sound that indicated that the wolf was following her. For a whi

    Olympia POVMy eyelids flutter open, and I stare at the ceiling, feeling dazed.'Where am I?'I don't know this place. The ceiling is enough to tell me that this isn't my place. My ceiling is dark and spotty. This one has been painted over with a vibrant blue.Pulling myself into a sitting position, my eyes take in the room. My head is splitting, and my body feels heavy. It takes me a couple of minutes to realize that this is a motel room. The small outdated television box across the room is a dead giveaway.My fingers run through my hair, agitated, "How did I get here?"My memory is fragmented. There's no scent in this room except mine.I know I didn't walk here on my own two feet. Even if I had been drunk out of my mind, I wouldn't have come to an unknown motel just for kicks. No, somebody brought me here. Tense, I get to my feet, my whole body feeling like it has just taken a savage beating. Using the bedpost for support, I search the room for my things, but I can't find them. My h

    Olympia POVWe had been on the run for weeks, driving north to ensure no one would find us.But now we have to stop running. We had no choice when I felt my heat stir beneath my skin, ready to break free.Only this time, I was excited about it. Because now it was with Xavier by my side.Anticipation rose, sparks ignited on my bare skin when he pulled me closer, hating how my scent peaked and we were still in the car with the others.Ryder was driving like crazy, trying not to get distracted by my heat, while Xavier couldn’t stop his chest from rumbling. Logan growled possessively beneath the surface.Yes, it kept the other wolves at bay, but it also made this fire inside me rise higher and higher.“I think we need to stop.” Ryder’s words were strained, his hands turning white from the firm grip on the steering wheel.“Are we almost there?” I asked and immediately cursed myself for opening my mouth. Because the way my voice sounded, all needy, really didn’t help.Conner and Ryder tried

    Olympia’s POV "What? That drawing!" Xavier exclaimed from behind me as I was done drawing."What? Does it bring a bell?" I asked, looking at him in surprise."Uhm... Kind of." He said."Are... are you sure? You acted like you remembered the logo or something." I asked, eyeing him suspiciously.He grabbed a bottle of beer and slurped almost all the content in it.I tried to snatch the bottle back, but he's bigger and stronger than me, and there's no way in hell he's letting me have it back."It's none of your business," I spit out weakly."These are illegal," he says furiously, "which makes it my business.""Nu-uh!" I shake my head. "They're not, and they're mine. You can't steal my property!"He meets my gaze, tucking the orange-colored bottle into his back pocket, "You're in a lot of trouble.""I have to take those!" I snarl. "Or I'll go out of my mind!
