Olympia’s POV Lola, Zayn and I were having breakfast one Saturday when Zayn suddenly asked,“Momma, where’s my Dada?”Lola and I exchanged glances, as I wondered why Zayn was suddenly coming up with such a question.“Zayn baby, where did you hear that from?” Lola asked him.He turned to look at her and replied,“My friends at school have daddies that take them out for fun. Why don’t I have a daddy like that?” he replied.Lola and I exchanged glances one more time. Both of us had no idea what to say to him. My mind raced as I struggled to look for the best answer to give him. What’s the best way to explain to my 6-year old son why his father is absent in his life? I began to feel hot and confused. Lola must have noticed my uncomfortable state because she turned to Zayn with a smile on her face and asked, “Hey buddy, would you like to go to the park with me?”Zayn, immediately forgetting the question he had asked earlier, turned to face her in excitement and nodded his head happily.
Olympia’s POVMy heart sank as my eyes remained fixated to the envelope in his hand. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I just stood, frozen.“Olympia, should we order pizza tonight or…” Lola was saying and then trailed off.“Olympia, what’s wrong?” she asked me but I didn’t answer, she turned to look at Zayn and then she saw it.“Is that…” she trailed off again.“Who gave you that, Buddy?” she asked Zayn.“I was playing outside with my ball and a man gave me this. He asked me to give it to mummy,” Zayn replied.Lola took the envelope from Zayn and asked him to go up to his room. Immediately he was out of sight, she approached me and helped me sit back down on the couch.“Olympia, here is another letter and I’m sure it says the same thing as the others you’ve received. Why don’t you change your mind and go to the Lycans territory? This message could be coming in repeatedly for a reason. Perhaps someone out there is trying to tell you something. Who knows? You could find out the truth
Olympia’s POV“This is your plan?” I asked Lola as we stood in front of the building.“Uh-huh,” she replied. “Lola, we’re supposed to be in hiding, remember. Xavier cannot know that I’m in his territory and working as a healer in his territory’s hospital is going to put me in the spotlight. Besides, why would you think about me working here?” I said to her.“What’s wrong with you working here? Girl, you’re one of the best healers I have ever seen. All those times you healed Zayn and I whenever we had a bruise or fell ill is enough experience you need. I still don’t know why you refused to apply for a healer’s position at our former territory’s hospital. By now, you probably would have been made healer,” she said.“Fine, you’ve said enough but what if Xavier sees me here?” I asked. “No, he wouldn’t. I already asked a friend who works here and she said the Lycan King rarely comes to the hospital. The healers go to him in the palace whenever he needs to be treated. So, you have nothing
Olympia's POV I froze, not knowing what to reply. His piercing gaze was still fixated on me, making me believe they were capable of reaching into my soul. “I'm…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It's just…” I was saying until I got cut short by Head Healer Ryder. “Are you kidding me? That was incredible” he said, his voice dripping of admiration and praise. I looked at him with a shocked expression and said, “Really?” “Of course. Your healing abilities are impeccable,” he answered. I stood still, dumbfounded as I watched the man who had not long ago scorned my qualifications, now singing my praises. “Told you she's good,” Lola said to him, beaming from ear to ear. “And I should have believed you,” he replied. Then turning to face me, he said, “I'm sorry for underestimating you earlier. It's just that we've had many people come in to apply for positions like this and they don't have any experiences and qualifications and when we give them a chance, they mess u
Olympia's POV The following morning, I woke up very early, feeling both nervous and excited at the same time. I was eager to begin my first official day as a healer in the hospital. I had just finished dressing up in the blue uniform that was delivered to the house the previous night when Zayn ran into the room. “Wow Mommy, you look so beautiful,” he exclaimed. “Aww thank you baby,” I replied. “I'm so excited,” he said. “And why’s that, baby?” I asked him. “Aunty Lola said you will be saving lives. I can't wait to tell everyone that my Mommy is a lifesaver,” he said. I felt my heart warm up when he said this. This meant he was proud of me as his mother. I pulled him in for a hug. “Aww baby, mummy is so happy to hear that. Don't worry, I'll do my best to save as many lives as possible, okay?” I said to him and he nodded in excitement. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time to ensure that I wasn't missing anything before grabbing my back and leaving the room. W
Olympia's POV “Those bitches. Why would they treat you that way? I bet they are jealous because you are more beautiful than they are,” Lola said angrily. I simply chuckled at her reaction. We were sitting down to a late dinner, catching up on my first day of work. I had arrived home about an hour ago and Lola insisted we had dinner together. Her statement erupted after telling her about my encounter with the other nurses at the hospital.“Well, I don't blame them. I guess they're just scared of having a new person around. I believe they will adjust with time,” I said.“Whatever. Anyways, How's he?” Lola asked, wiggling her brows.I held a confused expression in my face as I asked,“How's who?”“C'mon girl, you know who I'm talking about,” she said.I rolled my eyes, chuckling.“You mean Head Healer Ryder?” I asked. “Uh-huh,” she answered with a smirk on her face.I blushed while shaking my head, “Lola stop please. He's my boss, and I'm not interested,” I said.Lola raised her eyeb
Olympia’s POV I turned in the direction of the sound to see Head Healer Ryder standing behind me. I could feel my heart racing. His presence silenced the tense atmosphere. He scanned the room with his piercing blue eyes. “I ask again, what’s going on here?” he asked again, his voice sterner than before. “Sorry, Head Healer Ryder. We were just talking to Olympia about her tardiness. We were trying to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Rose said. I opened my mouth to defend myself but Head Healer Ryder raised his hand to stop me. “I’m going to handle this. Olympia, could you come with me to my office?” he said to me and turned to walk away. As I followed him, Veronica, Rose and Nivea had smirks on their faces. When we arrived at his office, a beautiful spacious area, Head Healer Ryder motioned for me to sit down. I thanked him before taking my seat. “Olympia, before I say what I have in mind, I’d first like to know the cause of your tardiness today. Can you explain?” he sa
Olympia's POV If I'm to prepare the east wing for inspection, that means I would have to be available during the inspection.I might even have to lead it.That means Xavier would see me and he might kill me if indeed the message I received years ago was true.Fear gripped my heart.“Olympia, you sure you're okay?” Miranda asked again, looking worried.“I…I think I'm not feeling too well,” I said.A fake cough followed.“Really?” She said, touching my forehead.“But you were fine a while ago. What could be the problem?” she asked.“I don't know. Maybe I need to go home and rest a bit,” I said, trying to keep up the charade.“Oh that's not good. Head Healer Ryder would not be happy about this but your health matters the most. You can go. I'll tell him about your health,” she said.I thanked her and turned to leave but just before I got to the exit, Inehard my name.“Olympia, where are you going to? That's not the way to the east wing,” Head Healer Ryder said.I slowly turned around to
With her plans for Coral now set in motion, she e-mailed the rough plan of the areas that she wanted her training in across to Eva and placed her phone on the bed at her side.Now all she had to do was get hold of Coral and let her know she would be going with Eva tomorrow.Olympia made her way out of their suite after letting Xavier know where she was going and headed down towards the Omega quarters, in the hopes that she would find her there.It wasn't long before she found some of the omegas milling about in the hallway, and as soon as they saw her, they stood and bowed their heads respectfully."I'm looking for Coral. Have any of you seen her?"The girls exchanged a look and pointed down the hallway."Last bedroom on the right your highness." They answered in unison, keeping their eyes firmly fixed on the floor.Olympia frowned and nodded her thanks as she made her way down to the bottom of the corridor and knocked gently on the door."Coral? Are you there?" There was a muffled so
After finishing up with Bartholomew, Olympia, and Xavier made their way back to their room. Xavier had some contracts to go over and was determined to conference call Allen and find out exactly what was going on.He had promised Olympia that he wouldn't get too angry with him, but he wanted him to know just how disappointed with him he was. Things could have been so different if he had just acknowledged his bond with Lexi from the start and embraced it. He was an idiot, and Xavier felt that it was about time that someone told him that seriously.Olympia still had to finalize details with Eva for Coral's training and she wanted to at least be able to provide her with a full itinerary for the training schedule so she settled herself on the bed and began drawing up a loose schedule.Once she was done she grabbed her phone and called her. The sooner it was arranged, the better, in her opinion, as it seemed that things were going to get incredibly busy if delegates were arriving already.
Bartholomew sat back in his chair and steepled his fingers in front of him as his eyes took on a far-away look.He had known Greyson since he was a young boy, and seeing him develop into the man he was today filled him with pride.To think that he was going to be thrown into the midst of the Royal Family and the tribulations that they were facing made his heart hurt a little, but there was no man more capable and more loyal than Greyson was, in his opinion."Commander Greyson is a good man, my Queen. You have nothing to worry about from him." Bartholomew answered finally with a smile."I understand; however, I don't have the luxury of knowing him as you do, Bartholomew, so if you would care to elaborate, I would be very grateful. I have known Lexi since we were children and if anything, it will put my heart at ease to know that whoever she chooses, she will be taken care of well."'I'm telling you, Olympia, she won't choose between them. My bet is on her taking both of them.''You don
Bartholomew sighed heavily as he poured fresh coffee into their cups and they took them gratefully."Well, it seems that Lexi has found herself at the center of a love triangle, which unfortunately resulted in a brief scuffle in the common dining area for guests." He explained carefully.'Oh she'll hate that..' Maeve sniggered sarcastically as Olympia frowned."Already? But she hasn't been here that long…" Olympia said, a little awestruck at how easily Lexi seemed to find herself in these situations."I understand that Lexi is quite a colorful character, but…does she often find herself in these situations?" Xavier asked incredulously as he stared at Olympia slightly open-mouthed."I think you are both getting the wrong idea here." Bartholomew interrupted quickly as they both refocused their attention on him. "It appears that both males involved seem to be under the impression that they have some sort of claim on her."Xavier snorted."Good luck with that. I can't see Lexi allowing any
After the exertions of the morning, both Olympia and Xavier had napped briefly before making their way to the dining hall and grabbing some lunch, before heading down to Bartholomew's office for a meeting that had been scheduled, only to find Lexi already there.Olympia marveled at the way that Lexi had seemingly grown fond of this particular Elder and was happy to let her guard down around him. The fact that she was reclined so comfortably in an unfamiliar place and clutching a drink in her hand so casually made Olympia incredibly happy.There were very few places where Lexi was truly accepted for who she was, and after initially being concerned that she would encounter a lot of difficulties here as well, she was pleased to have been proven wrong."Oh, wonderful! I'm pleased you came! I've been boring Lexi with tales of my past exploits for longer than she has cared to imagine I'm sure!" Bartholomew chuckled as he stood to greet them."He's a filthy liar!"Lexi interjected casually wi
Lexi was stunned.She was completely overwhelmed by the sensation of his lips against hers and their insistent movements, as if desperate to claim her as his own. She wanted to lose herself in this moment completely and her heart craved him between her legs but there was something niggling at the back of her mind and it was stopping her from immersing herself completely in the moment.The subtle hum of conversation returned to the room as people carried on as if nothing had happened, but for Lexi, everything had changed.Allen hated her and everything that she stood for, and he infuriated her with his constant pompous demands, so why would he do this now?Was he jealous because she had clicked instantly with Greyson? Greyson, the man who had stepped in to defend her in a heartbeat and didn't seem to give a shit about where she came from or how she acted.As the frantic panic of the thoughts in her mind brought her to her senses, she pushed away from Allen, glaring at him in disbelief.
At the mere sight of him, Lexi suddenly had no desire to tease Allen at this moment in time. Looking at him like this, with the anger rolling off him in waves and the vein pulsing in his neck angrily, he looked dangerous. That was something that she had never seen in him before.She swallowed nervously as he came to a stop before her, his chest heaving with anger. The golden irises of his wolf shone through brightly as he glowered down at her, the cloud of anger almost suffocating her as it seemed to envelop her completely."What the fuck are you doing here with him?" Allen snarled, with barely suppressed rage as Lexi stared at him, utterly transfixed by the metamorphosis of the quiet, restrained man that she had teased mercilessly to this vision of terrifying anger before her."I..uh.." she stammered, completely taken aback by his sudden appearance and the whole situation."Not a good answer, Lexi." He ground out as he took hold of her arm roughly and attempted to pull her up from h
Lexi had wandered with Greyson for a little while, making small talk as she allowed him to take the lead with the direction that they were headed.She found herself pleasantly surprised by his ability to hold a conversation and he didn't seem to fawn over her, nor reject her which intrigued her greatly.Men usually reacted in one of those two ways, and to find one who didn't was indeed a rarity.It did cross her mind briefly that he may indeed be hiding his true feelings about her, but there was no discernible cause to do so in her mind unless it was to try to get information out of her about Olympia of course. But, he hadn't brought her up in the conversation until now, so she was hesitant to condemn him so quickly."Is everything okay?" Greyson asked, stopping suddenly as he noticed her frown and his expression seemed to mirror her own as he frowned back at her in concern."Er, yeah? Why?" Lexi stammered defensively, a little shocked that he had even noticed."You're frowning. I did
Get out and seal the doors. No one leaves this chamber until I am finished, am I clear?" He growled as Ely scurried backward like a frightened mouse and fled through the doorway, the heavy doors swinging closed with an ear-splitting bang.Before Ada could steal a frightened glance at her mother, the male's boots appeared in front of her limited line of vision again and she felt a slight breeze ripple across her. It was obvious that he had now grabbed Narcissa roughly by the throat and lifted her into the air beside her, as the only thing visible from her position were the tips of her mother's boots dangling above the ground."Now, Narcissa. It seems you have forgotten the great honor that was bestowed upon you all those years ago." the male chastised in a bored tone over the sounds of Narcissa struggling for breath.His footsteps receded a little and Ada raised her head slightly. It was such a small movement, but it allowed her to follow the progress of her mother's feet across the ex
