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

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

"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

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.”

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

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

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

“We’re a mess, aren’t we?” Xavier said, joining Olympia in the bathroom. They were both naked, standing in front of the mirror, examining the bites, bruises, and scratches marrying their bodies. He came up behind her and moved her hair aside to kiss her shoulder. “Everyone is gone now. We can take a shower.”Olympia watched his mouth move over the wound on her shoulder with tenderness. A lump formed in her throat. A torrent of emotions was winding its way through her body, too many to understand or deal with. She did know one thing, though: she’d fallen in love with Xavier Savage.She turned to face him, running her gaze over his body. He looked far worse than she did, yet his wounds didn’t seem to bother him very much. She ran her hands over his shoulders, which seemed to have taken the brunt of his fight with Clive, and leaned forward to kiss his bruised and bleeding flesh.“God, I was so frightened when I saw the two of them take you down.” Olympia kissed him between each word. “Th

Chapter 79Coral guided them to the dining hall under the escort of the royal guard and as they entered the hall, everyone that had been seated stood instantly and bowed their heads in their direction."I'm not gonna lie, I kind of miss having a quiet breakfast without the audience already," Olympia murmured to Xavier, who chuckled in response.Olympia motioned for them to sit as she took her seat and the breakfast dishes were brought out."Goddess, is it going to be like this every time we eat?" Olympia frowned as she watched plate after plate of dishes being unloaded onto the table in front of them."I mean, at least we know you'll never be short of choice." Xavier chuckled.The seating arrangements were the same at the Royal Table as they had been the night before and Olympia found herself seated next to Bartholomew once more.She had already spotted Greyson and a few other faces she didn't recognize seated at one of the tables closest to theirs. Judging by their similarity in dres

The next morning with the haze of sleep still sitting over her, Olympia had briefly forgotten the events of the night before as she stretched languidly under the cloud-like duvet that enveloped her completely.As the reality of her situation intruded rudely on her blissfully unaware state, she groaned and threw the covers off, before carefully extracting herself from under Xavier's arm that had been lazily thrown across her stomach."Leaving me so soon?" Xavier murmured, his voice still thick with sleep."There's too much waiting for us, my Alpha." Olympia chuckled as his eyes opened wide suddenly and darkened as he gazed at her half-naked form perched on the edge of the bed."There's always time to squeeze in a little..." Xavier protested playfully as he lunged to catch hold of her and pull her back into the bed, but Olympia cut him off with a laugh."Little? Xavier, you know as well as I do that there's nothing little about you, or the time that we spend wrapped around each other."

Olympia and Xavier made their way back to their quarters under the escort of the Royal guards and once inside, Olympia gratefully closed the door behind her.It was glaringly obvious that they wouldn't be able to return to the palace anytime soon, so Xavier set about making arrangements to have some of their personal effects sent over whilst Olympia got herself changed out of the ceremonial attire and into something a little more comfortable.She wasn't sure that leggings and an oversized T-shirt were what constituted acceptable attire for a reigning Alpha Queen, but she was past caring at this point. She just wanted to be comfortable and free of distractions so that she could think clearly.She settled herself on the edge of the bed and sent a quick message to Mimi, requesting a few items of clothing that she knew she was lacking for official functions, diplomatic liaisons, and possibly for the meetings within the Enclave too. If at all possible she would much rather reserve the imp

The air positively hummed as her aura rippled through the room and the people dropped to their knees in front of her, including those that had done no wrong. Olympia felt a pang of guilt but did her best to brush it away. It was less than ideal, but if it was spoken of outside of this room, then it would be widely known that Olympia was no pushover, and would happily act before the Elders got a chance to do so.Perhaps Maeve was right and more direct action was necessary. Her father had been a weak ruler in later years and perhaps he had allowed them a little too much freedom in dictating how things were run.The Enclave was an ancient institution that protected the Kingdom from tyrant rulers. They were never meant to make the decisions for the Kings and Queens, merely to ensure that justice was upheld and that the Royal line did not abuse its power to the detriment of the general population.Olympia calmed her raging fury and did her best to speak calmly. Though her tone was laced

"The 12th Garrison?" Xavier asked, his expression one of deep thought, "How were you alerted to the convoy's demise?" "Generally we track the progress from the 11th garrison at the receiving end through the Ravine with spotters from our garrison. We hadn't heard from the spotters for longer than was normal, and had begun to mobilize a search party." Greyson explained calmly, "They were about to leave when a group of Aurochs, that we know are used for transport there, entered the bottom of the valley in a panicked state."Xavier nodded thoughtfully as Greyson explained, scrutinizing his face subtly and checking for any trace of dishonesty."As soon as the lookout at the Garrison reported it, we mobilized a force to intercept and conduct reconnaissance in the area. We knew that it meant nothing good as there was no trace of the guards or the convoy that they were supposed to be attached to, so support was requested from the 11th Garrison as well.""Did they call the wyverns in to help

Olympia and Xavier followed the senior Elder in front of them, with the Enclave guard contained on all sides by the Royal guard as they made their way to one of the private rooms available. "I'm terribly sorry for this outrageous intrusion, my Queen. He should have been stopped by the guards before he ever got this far..." The Senior Elder grumbled. He had briefly introduced himself as Bartholomew, one of the Senior Elders that oversaw the Enclave, before offering to escort them to a private room to receive whatever news it was that the man had brought. "It's not a problem, Bartholomew. If it is as important as I think it may be, then the sooner we hear what he has to say, the better."Bartholomew turned to look at her with an unreadable expression in his eyes, and she didn't miss the curious look that Xavier gave her either."Do you know what he's here for, my Queen?" Bartholomew asked as casually as possible, but there was a definite hint of suspicion in his tone.Olympia smiled

The hum of chatter faded as soon as the Steward announced their arrival and every person in attendance stood and turned to watch the newly instated royal couple with interest. Olympia took a deep breath to steady her nerves as unobtrusively as she could. She forced a demure smile on her face as she and Xavier made their way toward their seats and tried desperately to ignore the countless judgemental eyes now focused solely on her.The Royal Table sat at the far back of the room, elevated slightly above the others on a beautifully sculpted dais. Two ornate chairs, crafted in Silver and decorated expertly with reliefs of the Moon Goddess and her first children sculpted into the metalwork, sat central to the table, flanked on either side by additional chairs for the most senior of the Royal Enclave.As Olympia and Xavier passed the many faces of the wide array of dignitaries assembled in the banquet hall, they held their heads high as the surrounding shifters bowed their heads or bared

Olympia and Xavier stood side by side on the balcony, waving down to the crowds that had gathered below.The noise from the crowd was almost deafening. It almost seemed as though they were fighting with one another over whose voice could shout the loudest and reach the newly crowned Alpha Queen's ears first.Xavier chuckled softly."All this is for you, my Queen." He murmured as he took her hand and brought her fingers to his lips, kissing it gently.Olympia giggled lightly, her nerves getting the better of her as loud cheers echoed through the air."Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for their excitement and the more than warm welcome, but I've done nothing to prove myself to them yet." She replied with a worried smile."Is that really what you think?" Xavier murmured quietly, "Olympia, take a step back and think about it for a second. These past few months have thrown so much at you and the accusations and lies that were thrown in your direction put you under intense public scrutiny.

The ground beneath them seemed to erupt as vile, twisted creatures emerged as far as the eye could see, bringing with them a stench that was so overpowering that a multitude of hands flew upwards to cover their faces with the masks of their attire as they gagged violently.The rotting flesh of the gargantuan beast that seemed to detach itself from the mountainside rippled disgustingly as it lumbered towards them, vile fluids oozing from the open sores and dripping down onto the mass of creatures swarming below it.The entire convoy seemed to freeze momentarily in pure, unadulterated terror as the scene that looked as though it had been ripped straight from a horror movie unfolded before them.In seconds, the Enclave's guards sprung into action. Those that couldn't shift readied their weapons and offensive magic as the sound of breaking bones whilst the shifters changed filled the air. An eerie symphony rippled through the landscape, filled with the cacophony of grunts and otherworldl
