His Regret, My Escape Chapter 10
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

Olympia's POV Is that it? I asked myself. “I…I'm a bit sick,” I lied. “Oh sorry about that. You should take care of your health. You attend to sick people everyday. You don't want to pass it on to them,” he said calmly and I nodded. Maybe he does recognise me, I thought, feeling a bit relieved. “So what's your name?” He asked. I froze once again. If he doesn't recognise me by face, he might recognise me by name. Xavier must have mentioned my name to him. “Young lady, did you hear me?” He asked. “S…sorry sir,” I stammered. I heard snickering behind me and when I looked back, I saw Nivea and her friends laughing at me silently. My fear heightened. But just then, my eyes caught Miranda's and she held a comforting look in her face. I felt a bit relieved before turning back to face Prince Troy. “My…my name's O…Olympia,” I said. “Olympia, that's a good name,” he said. “Thank you, your Highness,” I said. He was quiet for a while as if thinking of something. “Y

Olympia’s POV“Healer Olympia, can I see you in my office please?” Head Healer Ryder said before walking away.“Okay sir,” I answered, watching him leave.I looked at Miranda in surprise. She looked back at me with the same expression on her face.What did he want to see me for? I wondered.I got up from my seat, told Miranda I’d be back and followed Head healer Ryder. When I got to his office, he was already seated in his executive chair.“Sit,” he said and I did.“I want to ask you a question and please be honest with me,” he added.I nodded.“Are Nivea, Rose and Veronica troubling you?” he asked.I froze, not knowing how to respond. I didn’t want anyone to be reprimanded for my sake, especially.“Remember, you have to be honest with me,” he said and I sighed.I had to tell him the truth.“Well, they can be a handful sometimes but it’s nothing I can’t manage,” I said.“That’s not the answer to my question, Olympia. You are supposed to reply with either a yes or no,” he answered wit

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
