Insatiable Desires 18 Threats and Decisions
James, My phone was ringing when I woke up. I struggled to open my eyes and looked around the room. Olivia wasn't in bed, and I opened the mind link to find her. "Where are you?" I asked. "Having breakfast with Paul before I go to work." She replied. "You are on holiday. You will resume work when we return to the mansion." I said, and she did not say anything. I closed the mind link and checked the caller ID on my phone. I saw it was my cousin Emma. She was the Alpha of Dome and Cleeve. She was a few months older than Paul and me, but she was too damn bossy for her good. I did not want to answer it, but I knew she would keep calling until I did, so I picked up anyway. "Hey," I said, and I heard her sigh. "Thought you wouldn't answer." She said, "What do you want, Emma?" I asked. "Grandpa and Grandma are coming to the city tomorrow. I will be joining them and staying a few days." She said, and I pinched the bridge of my nose, frustrated because it meant we had to return to the

Chloe, I sat at the desk in my office, wondering what had just happened between James and me. My brother had threatened me on the phone, and I knew he meant every word of it, and it was all because of that girl. I was only looking out for him. James always had this notion that I wasn't happy that he became the alpha instead of me, but he was wrong. I did not care about who got the position. As long as he was the one the goddess chose, it was okay. I was content with where I was. I knew it was stupid of me to say what I did, but I had run out of ideas. I could not sit and watch him throw his life away because of a stranger. The girl was bad news, and I knew it. I hoped James would open his eyes and see what I was seeing. Emily might not be perfect, but she was family, and we were close. I knew she could make him happy, but James had been taken by Olivia. My sweet and loving brother had suddenly become selfish. I could not believe him. I wished our parents were around so they could talk

Olivia, I was worried that James would want to go all the way last night, but he behaved like a gentleman and held me instead, and I appreciated him for it. He joined Paul and me at the breakfast table, looking uneasy about something, and I wondered what might have happened. He kissed me on the lips and lingered a bit before he broke the kiss leaving me almost breathless. Paul smiled at us, and I felt shy about all that had happened. I did not know if James would ever go public with this or if I should trust him. I would have to be careful. "So, we are ehm, going back to the mansion," James said, and I froze and looked at him. "What happened to 'spending some days here'?" I asked him, and Paul left the table to give us space. James pulled me close and nibbled close to my ears. I wasn't going to let him change the topic, so I pulled away. "Our cousin, the Alpha of Dome and Cleeve, is coming with our grandparents to the mansion. I have to be there," he explained, and I realised he ha

Olivia, My mind was messed up. I wasn't comfortable anymore. I wondered why my mother came to Woodclaw. What was her true mission? I wasn't even settled yet. I was a charity case, and now she was here. How could I care for her when I couldn't care for myself? Suddenly the upkeep money James offered seemed like a good idea, but I knew I would feel like shit collecting the money from him. I hated my life; this wasn't a good thing at all. I dressed in a deep blue shirt dress and let my hair down. "I am outside your door," I heard Paul in my head, and I tried to relax. I was hoping James would be the one to walk me to the dining room, but I knew he wouldn't. What we had was a secret for now. I stepped out, and Paul admired me. "You look stunning, Olivia; James has his work cut out for him," he said, and I smiled at him. He was wearing a white shirt with grey pants. He didn't button all the way up and wore a simple gold chain around his neck. He was a beautiful man. The woman that would

Olivia. I cried that night and was up and out of the mansion at the first light in the morning. I had called John to pick me up at the gate, and he obliged. I needed to check on my mother. My eyes were swollen from tears, but there was nothing I could do about it. I covered them with sunglasses to avoid the questions. All that played in my mind were the things alpha Aesop said. I hoped James would have the courage to come to my room, but I guess too many eyes were watching. It wasn't a crime. We were not even having sex. I prayed to the goddess for strength because our secret relationship had no future based on what alpha Aesop said. I called Lin to find out where she put my mother. "Good morning Lin," I said, and she sighed. "So early. Aren't you in bed with your alpha?" she teased, and I cringed. " Still a virgin Lin. I am on my way to you. I was wondering if you could tell me where you put my mother so I can meet her there," I said, and she grumbled. "I put her in the extra r
Last Updated : 2022-09-22Insatiable Desires 23 Making Up The Mind
James, Olivia's panic was an eye-opener for me. I knew I had to try harder. She deserved better. Seeing her hurt made me realise her happiness was more important than my reputation. She was a gem, not something that should be hidden. I held her for a while and then carried her upstairs so she could sleep. I would not touch her until I had separated myself from Emily completely. Olivia deserved better. "I think you should sleep, Olly," I said, and she looked confused. Her eyes were swollen from the many tears she cried. My grandfather had a way of annoying people and ruffled Olivia in the worst way without knowing it. "I will like to meet your mother tomorrow, Olly. I am serious about this. I need you to hang in there for my sake." I said, laying her down on the bed, and she did not respond. "Are you not going home? Your grandparents are there," She asked me, and I shook my head. "At this point, I am willing and ready to take the risk, Olly. What I am doing is out of respect and n
Last Updated : 2022-10-01Insatiable Desires 24 Future In-Law
James. We got ready to go out, and I was giddy. I noticed Olivia was nervous, and I did not know why. I opened the car door for her, and she entered. I sat next to her at the back and pulled her close to me. Taking in her scent, I kissed her neck. "My darling Olivia," I said, and she giggled. "Shouldn't we pick Paul up?" She asked, and I frowned at her. "Why, babe?" I asked, and she smiled. "We can't be seen in public together, James. People will figure it out. It is okay for them to think I am with Paul for now until your father makes the announcement," she said, and I felt knots in my stomach. It shouldn't be this way. My feelings for Olivia were genuine, and I should shout them out to the world. How long will I be able to do this? I pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. "I will make it right, Olivia. I promise, but we won't be going out with Paul. It is okay for people to say I am cheating on Emily. I do not care anymore. My family is in support, and my father wou
Last Updated : 2022-10-02Insatiable Desires 25 Boundaries
James. Chloe pissed me off with that phone call, but I had to keep calm. She had overstepped her boundaries right now, and it was time to reduce her power. She was my sister, but there couldn't be two alphas in Woodclaw Island. She was treating this as an equal partnership. Our brother, Paul, had more power and influence than she did, but he always let me lead, even though he was often the wiser of us two. Chloe had insulted me with the mention of this party. She had crossed all limits. I could understand if she had discussed it with me, but telling me she was inviting me to a party where she would be hosting a foreign alpha was extreme. "What is the matter?" Paul linked me, and I smiled at my brother so I did not spoil the mood for Olivia and her mother. "When would you like to go to Dome, Mrs Stephenson?" I asked Olivia's mother, and she smiled at me. "As soon as the arrangements are ready. It would be great to connect with my people again." She said with excitement, and I smiled

Insatiable Desires 80 And then It happened.
James The battle was fully on. I could not shake off what Caspian had said about attacking the mansion, but I trusted Tristan and Lyle to handle it. We just had to keep going until the end. Paul and I tag-teamed Caspian's people, and with it was a full-blown battle. Soon his people began to back out. It appeared they were not expecting to fight. I could understand them to be that way since Caspian had held on to the Woodclaw through blackmail and fear, but it all did not seem to work. I advanced toward Caspian when suddenly, people from the sea began to shoot at us. The bullets met their mark. "It's lead," Someone linked me, and I got angry. I was grateful it wasn't silver but pissed off because we had almost won. I looked at Caspian, and he began to laugh. I wondered who would come to his aid. I now understood why they had lined up at the port for the battle. They were waiting for help. Some of our men began to shoot at the attackers blindly, but that did not stop them from
Insatiable Desires 79 In Eastwood
James. We had overstayed with Olivia, and I knew we would be the last to arrive at the base. Looking at Paul, I knew it was worth it because he was happier than he had been. I had always known he liked Olivia. I suspected it, and that was why I asked him. I respected his kindness because he stepped back because of me. If only he knew he did not need to. I would have been open to sharing her. I preferred we had the same mate than another woman to come between Paul and me. I also knew Paul deserved the kind of happiness I had. Seeing him look at Olivia longingly several times hinted to me about the state of his heart. Now that that was out of the way, we could continue with our lives and the thought that we would be close for the rest of our lives made me feel giddy. "Thank you, James," Paul said while driving, and I laughed. "Dude, you need to learn to speak up more often instead of dying inside. Here we were, trying to find someone, trying to pair you up while your heart longed
Insatiable Desires 78 Sneak Attack
Olivia. I showered and left the office to go to the right wing. I came across Tristan in the hallway, and he looked nervous. I couldn't blame him. It was taking a lot for me to remain calm. Our loved ones had gone to war, and no matter their determination to return, it was still up to the war's outcome. I smiled at him, and he nodded. "I will be at your disposal, Luna Olivia," Tristan said, and I shook my head. "Please call me Olivia," I said, and he nodded. "Olly," I heard Grandma Stacy in my head, and I knew she wanted to see me. I hadn't seen my mother since she returned, but I had to go and see what Grandma Stacy wanted. I looked in the direction of my mother's room and decided I would come back up after seeing Stacy. "Yes," I replied. "Glad you are home; meet me in the lounge where we can observe the war," She said, sounding nervous, and I looked at Tristan. "Do you want to hang out with us in the lounge? I know it isn't fun for you, and the time might not..." I said, and
Insatiable Desires 77 Before Departure
Olivia James returned in thirty minutes. Paul and I watched a movie with me leaning in his arms on the couch. We made out, but we never went all the way. Paul looked at James, and I knew they were communicating mentally. "So they have left?" I asked James, and he nodded. I remained with Paul, and then James sat beside me, placing me between Paul and James. "How long do you think the war will take?" I asked them, and James placed his hand on my bare thigh and squeezed gently. Then he placed his hand on my lower belly. "Not too long, I hope," he said, letting me know they were uncertain. Then he lifted my hand and kissed it. "We expect you to hold strong here, Olivia. Due to things, Tristan and Lyle will remain to handle and protect Woodclaw. Although the people would be underground, you would be at the mansion. Some guards will go to the mansion from the base to protect you and the rest of our family. Can you lead in our stead?" James said, and I looked at him and then looke
Insatiable Desires 76 Unearthing Feeling
Olivia I could not believe what had just happened with Paul. I never knew Paul had such feelings for me. It seemed a bit off, but hearing James mention it in detail made me realise it. It felt a bit off that James would propose something like that. If I had to have two mates, I would rather have Paul. He was perfect, sweet and sensitive, and I can never forget that he was the one that took me home and stood up for me. He was the one that was there, defending me and making sure no one hurt me. He was there before James and continued to be there. Had I known how he had felt, I would have kept myself open to it. Seeing James's seriousness, he clearly wanted this to work out. I wondered how long he had thought of it. Hearing him explain his reasons and give time stamps were amazing. I felt awkward and sad that I did not see love in front of me. The only difference between Paul and James was that James was bold enough to act on his emotions, which made me reciprocate his love. I
Insatiable Desires 75 A Request Of Love
Paul.James and I left the base to head home. While he was going home to Olivia, I had no one. I did not know how solitary my life was until now. I believed my birth mother's condition added to my fear, but I wasn't ready. Olivia was a lovely option when I met her, but when I realised James had strong feelings for her, I had to do what was noble. Ever since my heart was broken, I have found it hard to open up, and now I realise the danger of my lifestyle. If I died at war, I would be leaving nothing behind. No love, no legacy, no one to continue me. I would be erased. James had Olivia and their unborn child, Emma had her children, and if things had gone well between Chloe and David, she would have had children, but I never made that effort.Since I learned Luna Tia wasn't my biological mother, my world had shattered. I met Elisabeth, and I could not believe that I would come from her, and after learning all she did and hearing her speak, I wondered how Luna Tia would love me thro
Insatiable Desires 74 The Preparations
James.I let a day pass waiting for Caspian's response, but it never came, so I sprang into action. His silence wasn't a sign of fear; he was getting prepared. Paul and I headed to the base to get our troops ready. Olivia was nervous, I could see it, but she understood it was long overdue. All we had done since that bastard took over our island was buy time for the inevitable, and this was it. The war was finally upon us. I could only hope we would win. My people did not know I had a new fire, and it was best that way. I wanted them to give their best on the battlefield. While we drove through town, I found the incredible support Paul and I were getting. They were cheering us on with supportive words on their cards. I was overwhelmed by the number of turnouts, even though they believed my mark was no longer active. Some cards read:"You do not need fire to lead us, Alpha; we will follow you to the very end.""We are not afraid of being feral, but we won't bow to a foreign alpha,"
Insatiable Desires 73 The Announcement
James. Oliva held me on the floor. I could not contain my wolf. I felt a shift coming. I growled and roared, and she hugged me. "You need to calm down, James. Your mark is burning, and you are making me nervous." She said, and I could hear a light sob. "He isn't here with us. It's just me and you, James, please," she said, kissing my neck, then hugged me. "You need to calm down, darling. You need to be calm so we can respond," She said, cupping my face and looking into my eyes. Her eyes were teary. They were filled with tears, but they were hopeful too. Hopeful that I would listen. Hopeful that I would calm down. "Olly," I managed and buried my head on her bosom. She hugged me gently and patted my head. "It's okay," she whispered, and I wrapped my arms around her. She was mine; she had always been mine. How could he say she belonged to him? How dare he? I held on to her, and she let me. I needed to claim and own her again. I wanted to feel her, so I laid her down on the floo
Insatiable Desires 72 On Your Marks
James. The road trip was fun and fulfilling. Things didn't happen as we had hoped, but we were glad to be alive. "You need to change your pep talk, mom. You and Uncle Caleb got me in knots," I said, and everyone laughed, especially my father. "You needed to see them when they were in school. The three of them, Caleb, Kirk and Tia, were inseparable and haven't left their military ways," my father said, and my mother smacked his hand. Watching their love grow, never changing, never fading, ever increasing in intensity, honesty, and reverence for each other was amazing. They genuinely loved each other. I hoped Olivia and I could have that. I felt we were on the right path. We arrived at the base, and I was too eager to see my mate that I left everything to Paul, but Paul declined and told me he wanted to check on Amanda. I suspected something was up between them; maybe her near-death experience had brought things into focus for him. I did not want to jump to conclusions, but I hope
