His Regret, My Escape Chapter 37
“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

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

OLYMPIA'S POVI stood at the edge of the grand hall. My heart was beating, racing in anticipation. The air was electric with the collective longing of our pack. Twenty-one years of searching, twenty-one years of disappointment. Yet tonight, I could feel it in my bones: this would be the year I found him.The Mating Festival was ordained, a centuries-long practice—a holy ritual for our pack to collectively rejoice at the consummation of two spirits. The air held so much anticipation; pheromones hung heavy in the crowd. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, letting that animalistic energy course through me.My eyes met those of so many hopefuls in the room, each in search of his perfect match. Some were wriggling in anticipation and some had set their faces to imply expectation of winning—sureness in their eyes gleaming with a sense of entitlement.The drums echoed across the hall, signaling the commencement of the ceremony. There was silence in the room as all eyes turned toward the alp

Olympia's POVAs I looked up at him, my eyes, addled with intoxication, tried to keep up with his grandeur. He was a real behemoth, with chiseled cheekbones that could cut glass and arms that seemed sculpted by the gods themselves. His athletic frame radiated power, and his smirk hinted at a thousand secrets. I was entranced; my tipsy brain couldn't pull away from this sight."Like what you see?" he goaded, his voice low and husky, as he did so, raking me back to reality. My mouth was open, an embarrassing epitome of utter shock. I whipped my face away, trying to regain some of my lost dignity, but he would not allow me to just walk off so easily.He held my chin with a firm but light touch, twisting my face back to his. Our eyes met, and in those few moments, I felt the room spin with me. "Who are you?" I said back, my voice cracking like a brittle autumn leaf.He leaned closer, the mysterious aura surrounding him, like a moth into flame. "Just a passerby guy witnessing a beautiful l

Olympia's POVThe memories of the night before assaulted my brain, and it was as if a tidal wave had swept me off my breath, leaving me speechless. I cringed thinking of how I had begged that stranger to take me roughly; my face burned with humiliation. I turned toward him; a pang of sadness twisted deep in the pit of my belly, pulling in opposing directions: to go, to stay. His beautiful face was serene in his sleep, and my heart skipped a beat."Olympia, keep it together," I chide myself as the emotions welled up. Turning quickly, I gathered my clothes from where they had landed around the room, like strung confetti, and got dressed without cleaning up. The risk that he might wake up and see me like this was too great.At the door, I saw my arm bandaged and cleaned. Memories of our kiss and how he took care of my injury tenderly came back to mind.The bazillion venues, his gentleness, his care over me—so surreal. My heart melted at the memory of how he looked at me, of how he'd made

Olympia's POVSolo trumpets blared, announcing Silas's grand entrance to the room, and with that one note, there was a racket of complete and utter silence. I stood at the side of the mass, my heart racing from anxiety. Why in the name of humans had I been expected to show up for this circus? The moon goddess had been kind, diverting Silas from me with some freak happening outside the palace walls, but now his attention turned to me once more."Olympia, come here!" Silas boomed, his voice echoing off the chandeliers. I held back, my feet heavy with reluctance, but a gentle nudge from one of the pack pressed me forward.As I walked up the stage, a wave of nausea hit me, and I clutched my tummy. The room spun around, and with not an iota of balance, I felt myself sway. Next thing I knew, I was throwing up; my stomach contents spilled on the shiny floor. There erupted gasps and murmurs from the crowd.Silas strode over to me with a furrowed brow, his face scrunched up. "What is it, Olymp

Third person’s POV Xavier woke up the following morning to an empty bed but Olympia wasn’t in bed anymore. His first thought was that she had woken up earlier to prepare for their journey back to his Kingdom where they were going to start a new life but when he got out of bed and searched for her, he couldn’t find her anywhere. He searched frantically for her but she was still nowhere to be found. He paused for a while to wonder where she could be and a wild thought crossed his mind. Perhaps, Silas sent men to abduct her in the middle of the night while we slept, he thought.He got dressed and stormed out of the room, making his way to Silas’s home. When he got there, he tried to make his way through to confront Silas but Silas’s men refused him entrance. It was at that point that Silas stepped out. “What’s this noise so early in the morning?” He asked but immediately he saw Xavier, confusion spread out on his face. “Xavier? What are you doing here? You already took my mate with

OLYMPIA’S POV “Come live with me,” she said.“Why would you do that? You don’t even know me,” I said, confused.Lola chuckled before replying, “I don’t need to know who you are before I help out. You need help and I have the resources to help. That’s why I’m offering you a place to stay. Also, I think we’d be very good friends.”I looked at her face and she had a smile etched on it. She looked like a really nice person and a harmless one at that. It would be rude of me to reject her offer. “But I really don’t want to impose on you,” I said.“And who said anything about you imposing? You’re not imposing at all. I really want to do this. Well, I’m not trying to force you to accept my offer but I really would be happy if you accepted it,” Lola said. I looked up at her with a smile. I guess it’s not a bad idea. After all, I’ve not gotten a place for the night yet, I thought. “Fine, I’ll take you up on your offer,” I said and a bright smile exploded on her face. She hugged me in exc

“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.

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
