#Chapter 32 Dreary Rain

last update Last Updated: 2022-09-01 16:49:24

The weather hasn’t let up, even when I wish it would. The clouds are heavy and dark and stagnant, unmoving through the skies and blocking the sun for what feels like a week, maybe more. Having Celine here is a beacon of light in itself, but there’s far too much going on for me to see her as much as I would prefer.

I drag myself to the hospital, wearing the laziest set of sweatpants and a hoodie. I tied up my long, fair hair, letting it hang off my neck in a ball or a nest; I don’t care of the appearance at this rate. I lurch myself to the top floor, leaning forward against the glass to peer into Reese’s room. He’s hardly awake anymore.

Just like today, he still breathes through a machine, several others beeping stagnantly. I’ve built new programs, hired specialists of our kind, and built beautiful charities to raise money for wolves just like Reese. And yet, here he lays, no better than he was the day he was brought to the Royal pack.

Eugene rests a heavy palm on my shoulder. “It’s go

    Gabriel threw me in the car this morning, wordlessly. I want him to explain himself, but I know he won’t. We don’t talk much anymore, which is understandable given my behavior, and besides me being cold to my own husband, I have been thinking of Eugene far too much to admit. I’m not saying I enjoyed that kiss, but it has certainly taken up space in my head.I curl up in the backseat of his compact, luxury car, feeling like the Alpha Kind chose this for a reason. There is little space between us, and even less when he pulls for my legs, resting them comfortably over his lap, to let them stretch. I settle in at the position, relaxed for the first time in so long.“Should we talk?” he asks, his voice stoic and abrupt in this otherwise silent car ride. “My dear, you’re so detached from me. Did I do something?”“No,” I say in heavy gust. “To both questions.”He nods, seemingly leaving this topic aside for now. I realize shortly that we have entered a familiar pack, one that makes my stomac

    After watching after Mara for a few days, Eugene decides it’s best to return to the Royal pack to check on Reese’s condition. Alpha Connor comes with, needing a break from this obvious painful situation for him. I don’t know why, but Herold follows his brother’s lead, coming to the Royal pack lands while I escape to the office in the hospital.I did manage to break away from everyone else but I know that won’t last. Someone will be by to ruin my isolated silence that I enjoy far too much. It’s frustrating, but inevitable, so I get to work researching any kind of files or news on Alpha Connor’s pack.If this was Alicia’s doing, there has to be a reason. I need to know what that is.I search deeper and deeper into the internet until the files with solid truths are eventually murky with tabloid gunk. I know from personal experience these articles cannot be trusted, but I indulge anyways. The headlines scream out too much familiarity.Alpha Connor Seeing Two Women? Sources Say: Yes!I loo

    I can admit, I’ve ben petty. It was a rough day when I realized Alicia was playing Alpha Connor like she so easily played Alpha Herold. Mara was finally sent to the Royal pack hospital, and it’s been enough time to consider the evil plans of that witch and whatever she has going on with Alpha Connor.To double down on my theory that the Luna-title-stealer is creating this poison to gain power in a pack; any pack with a weak, pathetic Alpha. I demanded to throw a gala for single Alpha’s, the attendees not as high in numbers than the normal parties thrown in this palace, but it’s enough for me to stakeout my mission.I sit on the gold throne up front, the gala in full throw. The music is blaring, the women are throwing themselves, and Gabriel seems less than amused with this theme. He sits in the throne beside me, sneering at the hapless, desperate woman throwing themselves at any man with an Alpha title.He looks through me, shaking his head. “Come on, my dear. Do we have to attend thi

    “I don’t want that,” Herold says, breaking the long, ebbing silence in the hallway. “I don’t want to forget about you. I never have and I never will.”I can feel the hot tears on my face, the music from the ballroom downstairs so distant but somewhat upbeat. I can just picture her now, spinning across the dancefloor with Alpha Connor, using her maleficent charms on that pathetic Alpha. I bite my words, my frustrations, and feel my back sulk against the wall.“Shh, relax,” Gabriel hums, his arms caressing around me tightly. He hold me in place, my mind finally realizing that I wasn’t up against a wall at all, but instead the dominate Alpha King. He brushes my cheek with his warm lips. “Everything is going to be okay, my dear.”“It’s not,” I groan.My stomach aches, just like my head. “No one—no one believes me…”“I didn’t—’ Herold says, pushing himself to unsteady stance. “I just know what I was told about Olivia’s death and I—”I flinch at the mention of my name, every wolf aware of i

    Gabriel has decided to carry me in his strong arms, all the way upstairs into our bedroom. He is careful to tuck me under the covers, barking for the maids to bring water, warm towels, anything that might heal me. His flustered behavior has me feeling ill.I tuck myself under the covers, still naked from shifting, and watch as Eugene is dragged into the room shortly after, Gabriel speaking in fast and hushed tones at the foot of the bed.My husband is irate and frantic, “you saw that, right? It has to be something serious, Eugene, please look into it. Maybe we made her too upset and—oh moon goddess, please, protect my wife.”I snicker in my head. The moon goddess has done a lot of looking out for me already.Eugene rolls his eyes when he comes to the bedside but he pretends to check me out all the same, just appease the King Alpha. “Open you mouth,” Eugene says, and I do, mimicking his every, needless command. “Okay now follow my finger as it moves.”After a few frivolous tests, Gabri

    It’s a long day at the hospital.Reese isn’t doing much better, and Mara has only gotten worse. They are in neighboring rooms now, making it easy to watch their symptoms increase and their health decrease. I sit between the two rooms in an uncomfortable chair, fighting back the nag of tire that has been surrounding me lately.That’s not the only thing surrounding me, though.Eugene walks me to the hospital every morning and night, while Gabriel will spend the afternoon and evening with me at the hospital and at the palace. When he is normally in his office, he instead works in our bedroom, meticulously trading a glance from me to his laptop.That’s not the worst of it, though. Alpha Herold will come up to the hospital around noon and spend a long part of the day with me, making it impossible for me to ever be alone with my many, many thoughts.I sit here now, watching the clock, waiting for the exact minute I hear that damn voice say those same words like they have every morning.“Que

    The Royal pack run is today and even if I don’t feel like going for a jog through the woods, Gabriel says that it’s mandatory for all wolves, especially us, as we need to be a good role model for the younger pups. The run is to show solidarity of our numbers and the strength of our pack. I just think it’s to distract me from my plans against Alicia.Gabriel has tried everything now, even going as far as pleasing me in my office a few days ago. He didn’t partake in it at all, not that I would allow that, but the feeling of him pleasing my wet core was something I’ve never felt before.Sex with Alpha Herold was rough and abrupt, he hardly even seemed present in the moment and just wanted it to be over with so he could have his release and go through his day. But Gabriel’s actions a few days ago, that was focused on me, my pleasure, and I couldn’t get enough of it.Maybe for the day I will at least get to skip past Alpha Connor’s pack and get a glimpse of that witch in her natural habita

    Eugene has been healing in the pack hospital but his room is far from Reese’s. I take turns spending time with both men, though neither of them has woken up. Mara is in the same state, her health slowly trickling down worse and worse until I fear she will be in the same constant state of numbness like Reese.It’s hard to see Eugene like this.It was harder after the battle, having the warriors run him to the hospital while I helped Gabriel with the lesser wounded wolves up top. He was so happy to see that I was unhurt, and he seemed to have a glowing respect for the physician in his effort to protect me. I know I owe Eugene my life, but I still couldn’t bring myself to tell him I loved him.He will continue fighting to have those words be true, even when I know they’re not. I feel so conflicted but it’s hard to focus on anything other than the small vial I had found on the battlefield. It was looped around a rope, large enough to circle a rogue’s neck, as if they were bringing it to b

I could not stop crying no matter who tried to comfort me. Celine had been in and out of the palace since she found out about Herold’s death.“I know that your history with the Alpha was shaking, but at least you and he had closure before…” Celine said as she saw Gabriel enter the room with Reese.I had told Reese after he was released from the hospital that he was welcomed to stay with Gabriel and I. When he refused and asked why I cared so much; I told him the truth. Reese sat down next to me and pulled me into an embrace.“Everything will be alright Olivia. I promise we will find out who did this to Alpha Herold.” Gabriel said as he grabbed my hand.“Can I have a minute alone?” I asked as I kissed Reese on the forehea

But it was too late. the scent was in the air. Maverick fell to his knees, coughing out blood.“Do you like it? While I was researching Alicia’s little drug to weaken wolves and slowly kill them. I notice that the ingredient she was using could also kill vampires quickly. Because you have no protector like werewolves. Once it enters your bloodstream, it evaporates, and the death is within moments.”Eugene pushed Maverick’s body away from the desk. Maverick weakly slid into Eugene’s mind. His tongue had fallen to the floor with the blood.Why? I gave you purpose.Eugene looked at the so to be co

They had also informed me that Gabriel left numbers for an interior designer to fix my office up.I went to the office and notice that everything was still out of place and destroyed.

However, I found he had tuned me out as I did the others. When I looked over at my nightstand, I saw a single white lily with a note attached to the stem.

The guars were nowhere to be seen, so going to my room and cleansing myself of Herold’s scent was easy enough.When Gabriel came back to the palace, I was expecting an argument or a fight, but he kissed my forehead and said we had been apart for too long. I wanted to agree with him but in spending the night with Herold; I realized I was losing myself to them every step of the way. I could not regret the situation because Herold would not let me neither would my conscious.I had gotten closure with Herold, but I did not get to end it. As I pushed my hands through my hair and closed my eyes, I heard something drop on my desk with a loud thud.

    Olivia’s POVI would be lying if I said that what Gabriel had told me was weighing heavily on my heart and mind. Even though he never gave into temptations of being with another woman, he did not fully commit to his marriage with Rebecca. But he was fully committed to my happiness and being with me.It unnerved me. So much so that I did not see the man bump into me. I thought I would fall to the ground, but strong hands caught me at my waist. Aa I pushed back the curls out of my face to see the man that had aided me, I saw eyes of sadness and frail.“Herold?”I saw his Adam’s apple bob while he contemplated answering me.“It is good to see to my Queen,” he said nonchalantly.”I tried to keep my composure in the situation, knowing that anyone could see us and get the wrong idea.“I am glad that you are doing alright.” I smiled. I requested we sit at a restaurant and talk for a while. Gabriel would be in another state discussing polic

    Olivia’s POVHerold knew that I only desired to make money for the charities, so it came as a shock to me that in the coming days his lawyer contacted me stating that the Alpha was transferring all of his assets over in my name. Or at least the name I was publicly going as.“All you have to do is a agree to the transfer and I will wire everything to your account after the call.”I thought about all the businesses that Herold conducted over the years and how fortunate he had been. How he never once spent a dime on me except when I asked for help with Reese’s treatments. I sighed into the speaker of the phone that sat on my desk.“I will agree to Alpha Herold’s transferring of compensation for two conditions. One, there is enough left to keep his pack thriving. And two, I will agree if he never shows himself in my presence again.”There was a brief pause before the lawyer came back to.“I will make sure he is aware and when he agrees, th

I saw several houses I had passed during times that Reese and I walked together. I even recognized a restaurant or two that I would go to when I was picking Herold up some food.How many meals had I cooked for Harold here, only to have them turn at my face?Herold?Then it sunk in; the events of a few hours ago flashed in my mind. Herold had kidnapped me. He was the one that messaged me for attention before I left the hospital. He cornered me by the car, but I was unsure how he knocked me out. As I made an attempt to unlock the door, I noticed I was having trouble holding up my wrist.I glanced down at my hands to see that not only were they handcuffed, but someone also handcuffed them to the steering wheel. At least he gave me the courtesy and left my legs and feet unbound. Part
