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

Olympia's POV“I…. I just don't feel like it,” I blurted out.Dammit Ollie, does that sound reasonable enough? I asked myself Ryder smiled and walked up to me. He grabbed my shoulders, looked straight into my eyes and said,“I don't understand you, babe but you can't just say you won't go. You're one of our best healers and if there's anyone I'd send on this assignment, it'd be you.”At this point, I knew I had no choice but to go except I told him the real truth, which is something I wasn't ready for.*****************When Xavier asked me to take off my protective gear, I felt like my heart would drop with a thud into my stomach with how fast it was beating.Did he already suspect that I was Olympia? I thought.I immediately had to come up with something to make him stop. And it worked.He probably doesn't think that I am Olympia.As I walked away from Xavier, I felt a mix of relief and anxiety. I had dodged a bullet, but for how long?My team and I made our way back to the hospit

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

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 67
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
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 66
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
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 61
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
His Regret, My Escape Chapter 60
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
