His Regret, My Escape Chapter 21
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

Olympia's POV I looked at him, shocked .“You’re not mad?” I asked.“No, why would I be?” He replied.Before I could speak again, he added,“Look, just because we're seeing each other doesn't mean you have to tell me everything that is going on in your life.”“I'm sorry. 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

Xavier's POV I was in my chambers, getting dressed, when my door flew open. My brother, Prince Troy, entered. "There's been an outbreak of disease in the pack..." he said, his expression grave. "...and it's spreading fast," Prince Troy finished. I frowned, a look of concern etched my face. "How many are affected?" I asked. "Over twenty, and counting," Prince Troy replied. “I heard it started with one of the maids,” he added. I clenched my jaw. "Get the healers on it. I want to know the source and a cure ASAP." Prince Troy nodded. "Already on it, brother. But there's more." "What is it?" I asked. "The hospital is sending a team to help. They'll be arriving soon." My mind turned to the potential risks and benefits of outside assistance. "Ensure our guests are accommodated and given full access to the affected area," I said. Prince Troy nodded and left. I stood there, weighing the situation. A disease outbreak was the last thing our pack needed. I wo

His Regret, My Escape Chapter 38
Olympia's POVThe moment we returned to the pack territory, there was a palpable sense of relief. Each step toward Alpha Xavier’s quarters carried a weight of triumph, yet beneath it all, a strange tension gnawed at me—a feeling I could not explain.Ryder walked beside me with his arm occasionally brushing against mine. The contact kept sending a jolt of awareness through my body every time it happened. His eyes moved around while constantly scanning the surroundings with a sharp focus, prepared as if he expected danger to spring out at any fucking moment."Do you feel it?" I asked him softly with my voice barely audible over the sound of the crunch of leaves beneath our boots."Feel what?" Ryder turned to me, his tone quiet but alert.I hesitated before answering. "Something feels wrong. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but it feels like... we are being watched."He stopped quite abruptly and then turned to face me fully. His piercing gaze locked onto mine sharply and for a moment

“Ollie, let us go home.” Ryder's voice came to me as I felt his hands on my dark hair. He caressed it in smooth long strokes. I opened my eyes to look at him. I could see the amount of sleep ladened inside of them.“Are you ready?” I asked him as my eyes scanned the environment. He nodded as he took my hands and helped me up to my feet.“Yes we are. Let us begin to head back after all of this Ollie,” I said to her with a smile. “The Alpha and the pack need to know that the water supply is finally safe.”There was a moment of quiet before Prince Troy and the others emerged from the trees, their expressions were a mixture of relief and awe.“Thank you so much, Ollie,” Prince Troy said to me. His voice was filled with genuine gratitude. His eyes which were once clouded with worry now shone with genuine hope.I smiled faintly at him but on the inside my emotions were still a whirlwind. I had done what I had to do, but at what cost? I remembered the look in Xavier's eyes when he had looke

Ryder's PovThe lake was glowing deceptively in the soft morning sunlight. The surface of the water was calm, but there was an unnatural gleam to it, a dull silvery haze that twisted and coiled around it as if it was a living thing, alive.“What on earth is that?” Ollie asked me in a quiet voice though I could hear the unease and fright behind her soft tone.“That is the source of the infection, the water supply,” I replied grimly, my eyes scanning the area. “No, not that. I can see that it is the water supply. I mean, what is that thing surrounding it?"“That is the sorcery Ollie. There is some form of dark magic here. And we really need to act fast.”She nodded and reached into her pouch before pulling out the vial that held the coloured cure. The light glinted off the glass vial and the golden liquid within was kind of a stark contrast to the ominous hue that the water supply had.“How much should we use to reset all of this?” she asked me in a slightly trembling voice. I stared a

Olympia's pov As we prepared to leave, the weight of what we needed to do was palpable, quite heavy in the tensed air. The battle we had won was only a small victory in a much larger war, and the virus that had threatened our pack still lurked in the shadows. The journey to cure the water supply was our next step in this fight that was crucial.We were at the gates of the palace, where the sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows on the ground. The air felt heavy like the calm before a storm. Ryder stood beside me with his gaze steady and unwavering. There was a silent strength that I relied on in him far more than I cared to admit. Prince Troy stood with his men, instructing them as they prepared the last things for our departure."Everything would be fine," I assured Ryder the moment he took my hands in his and squeezed tightly. H smiled and nodded at me."It will be," he said looking into my eyes beneath my mask. Suddenly the sound of footsteps echoed behind us. I turned
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 34
Olympia's POVEverything had been a success. The Alpha's recovery brought a lot of relief to us and the pack members. But this was not the time to celebrate because we still had a lot to do. There were people with the virus running around, infected and the main water supply which was the prime source of the infection was still infected with the virus. After a talk with Ryder, we planned on how we would prepare ourselves for the journey and move to the water body. We have been going on a lot of adventures recently."When we get there, we will figure out how to cleanse the water. The antidote will purge it in some way I guess," I said with hope. Ryder and I exchanged a brief glance at this and he nodded. A silent agreement that tis was definitely not yet over passed between the both of us."Let us leave now. There is still a lot to be done you all," Ryder said. There was exhaustion in his hands yes and his shaky tone gave it away though hardness was etched into his face. I could stil

Olympia's POV I turned back to face the inscription on the wall and studied the writing. The words seemed to dance before my eyes, but I focused on the pattern."Ryder, I think I see it," I whispered. "The riddle is a poem."Ryder leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. "What does it say?"I recited the poem, my voice steady:"Where shadows fall, light risesIn darkness lies the key to mightSeek the heart of the crystal's fireAnd claim the essence, your hearts' desire"The wolf nodded, its eyes gleaming. "You have solved the riddle."The pedestal began to glow brighter, and the Essence of the Starlight Crystal rose into the air.Ryder's eyes locked onto mine. "You did it, Ollie."“No Ryder, we did it,” I said to him, feeling a surge of triumph rush through me. The wolf approached us, its massive form looming.“Congratulations. You can have the Crystal. You earned it but make sure you use it wisely or there might be repercussions,” it said.“Yes we will. Thank you so much,”
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 32
Olympia's POV Very early the next morning, Ryder, the team and I set out to find the next item on our list: the Leaves of the Moonlit Tree. We walked deeper into the forest, watching the trees grow taller, their branches getting twisted. Finally, we reached a clearing, and in the center, there was a big tree. On it were dried leaves.I frowned in confusion as I looked at the tree. Could this be the tree we've been searching for? I wondered Just then, I remembered what the Moon goddess said to me in the dream.Leaves of the Moonlit tree only bloomed under the light of the full moon."This must be the Moonlit Tree," I whispered, awe-struck.Ryder looked confused as well, his eyes scanning the area.“But why do the trees look dried up? Are we late?” He asked.Then I explained to him what the Moon goddess said to him. “We just have to wait until the moon comes out before we can access the leaves,” I said and he simply nodded.We spoke to the team before we sat down and rested under
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 31
Olympia's POV I sat up with a start, my heart racing. The dream felt so real. I could still see the Moon Goddess's ethereal light and feel the urgency in her voice.I quickly scribbled down the recipe on a piece of paper, fearing I might forget. Sacred flowers of Lycania.Leaves of the Moonlit Tree. Essence of the Starlight Crystal.Could this be the breakthrough we needed?I rushed out of the lab, determined to gather the ingredients. The hospital's storage room might have some of these plants, but I knew I'd have to venture into the forest for the rest.On getting to the hospital's storage, I realized we didn't have any of these ingredients in the storage.That means that we would have to get it in the morning. For the rest of that night, I was too nervous to sleep. The following morning, immediately Ryder came into the hospital, I went into his office.“There's my girlfriend!” he said.He got up and tried walking towards me.Probably to kiss me but we had more important things
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 30
Olympia's POV My eyes widened in shock at Ryder's words.“Are you sure? What if you're mistaken?” I asked.He turned to look at me and said,“That's the only reasonable explanation for this. If he was fine all throughout yesterday and even after eating his dinner last night, then it only means he got infected through his meal. We need to interrogate the maid who prepared his meal.”Prince Troy interrupted, looking like he had just remembered something.“Head Healer Ryder could be right. Last night, I couldn't have dinner because I didn't feel like it. Maybe that's why I'm not infected,” he said.I felt a chill run down my spine. A traitor in the pack? Who could it be? I wondered.Ryder's expression turned grim. "We need to investigate immediately. Prince Troy, can you have the maid brought here for questioning?"Prince Troy nodded. Then he turned to one of the guards in the room and whispered something into his ear.The guard nodded and walked out of the room.I turned back to look
