Thank you for the comments and gems.
James, We arrived at the base, and Chloe refused to speak to me. Dwayne left us immediately and did not say a word. What Chloe had told him when he challenged David hurt him. I did not want to get involved because the current situation was dire. "The cell service is back up," Paul finally said, checking his phone as we alighted the vehicle that brought us to the base. I was grateful to uncle Caleb for keeping his promise. The guards came out to receive Chloe, and I wondered who had informed them we would be bringing her in. I remembered the news Helicopter in Eastwood and swore under my breath. "We will be handling this one," I told the kappa guard, and he saluted us and led his team away. Paul, William and I took Chloe to my office and released her cuffs. I decided to let Paul talk to her because, from the look on her face, she regarded me as her enemy, and I could not blame her for it. I walked out of the office and called my Uncle to thank him and find out if he has left for
James I returned home and found Olivia looking troubled. I had been away for long hours. I did not plan that Chloe's sentencing would happen immediately after we returned. The moment I entered the room, she came to me and hugged me. She placed her head against my chest and held me tight. I fought my tears. I had just sentenced my sister to prison. As things were, only Paul and I believed she might be innocent. "It was all over the news, James. They showed when you were walking her to the helicopter. People are outraged, James. They are asking for her head. There is no way she did this. I think she was set up. You should not believe it. Chloe won't do any of this. She hates me, but she loves you and Paul," She said, defending my sister, and I was shocked she would be on Chloe's side, after all that Chloe had done to her. If only Chloe knew that Olivia believed she was innocent. "You should have postponed the trial," She said and looked at me. I could not speak, so I walked away
James I returned home that night with fear and a deep resolve. We found that Eastwood had fallen on our way back home. Of course, it would fall. There was no leader in Eastwood; it would be easy for Caspian to take over. Our chances of winning were slim, but I was optimistic. I decided I would not tell Olivia my plans to officially cancel my engagement with Emily and go ahead and marry her until I returned. Knowing I have to come home to her would motivate me to come home alive. I entered my room, and she wasn't there, yet her scent was everywhere. I did not know what to do, so I decided I would shower before searching for her. I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom. I was shocked and heartbroken to find Olivia under the shower in tears. She was crying bitterly. I rushed to her and held her. We sat under the shower, and she wept bitterly, holding me. I did not need to guess why she was sad. "It is a suicide mission, James. Find another way. Negotiate and buy time
IN THE PRESENT ( please read chapter one to refresh your memory) James, Olivia and I spent the entire day together, and soon it was time for her to leave. It was hard letting her go to Dome, but I knew it would be wrong to stop her from visiting her mother, who was ill.I slept alone, afraid of what will happen the next day. While we prepared for war, I visited Chloe in prison, hoping she could give us something we could use against Caspian. When the broadcast on Capsian and Olivia aired, I felt betrayed. I thought she would spend time with her mother, but she was lying. Olivia had finished her job and went to be with her lover. To think Uncle Caleb and Chloe were right about her made me sick. I bared my heart and soul to her, and she left me for Caspian. After viewing the broadcast, I returned to Paul and Chloe, still distraught. How could I tell my sister that she was right about Olivia? How could Iface her? Why did I let my guard down? One of the reasons I warmed up
Olivia. My mother called me, asking me to visit her in Dome. She said she was ill, and I was worried. I could not tell James the extent of the weakness in her voice because I knew he was planning to go into battle with Caspian. I did not want him to be worried. He had wanted to surrender, but the entire island asked him to go to war. There was no guarantee that he would win, and the odds were against us. I was worried and scared, but I hid my tears. Caspian had all the cards, and he called the shots. James' ammunition stash was depleted, with the majority of it stolen. The warriors would have to depend on their wolves to fight, but we all knew they stood no chance against bullets and bombs. We had lost before we went to battle. I tried to talk him out of it, but he refused. He was hopeful, and one of his driving forces was his mother and father, whom Caspian had in his custody. I was to go to Dome and see what was happening with my mother, then return immediat
Olivia Somehow locked in a room in what used to be the Moon Mansion in Eastwood, I believed I would wake up from the nightmare or something would happen to make Caspian cancel the wedding. He came to my room every night, and I rejected him every night. He tried to be forceful sometimes, and there were times he tried to be nice and promised me the world. I had nothing to give him. I had given everything to James, and I kept telling him that my heart would always belong to James. He hated me for it and told me he would claim me after the wedding. Someone entered my room, and to my surprise, it was my mother. "Goddess, Olive, why are you doing this to yourself?" She asked me, and I would have killed her at that moment. "Get out," I told her, and she smiled and knelt by my legs. How could she do this to me? She knew how much I loved James, and she hurt me in the worst way ever by tricking me and giving me to my enemies. They had trailed me and kept an eye on me from the moment I le
James, A month passed, and I learned the wedding was celebrated in grand style. WCTV was forced to broadcast it, and I didn't watch it because I couldn't. I could not believe Olivia would do this to me. She was the only part of my life that made sense, and she chose to betray me in the worst way ever by leaving me for Caspain. I wondered if her survival instinct kicked in or if there was more to it, but I was hurt nonetheless. I felt insulted, betrayed and belittled. Chloe had moved back to the mansion. She stood up for herself for the first time and kicked David out when he returned. Even though it seemed like Olivia was the culprit because she was Caspian's luna, Chloe still believed David was the one that set her up. Emily tried to get back with me, but I couldn't. As hard as it was for me to say, my heart still belonged to Olivia. Paul entered my room without knocking, and I smiled at him. "Still drinking?" He said, and I sat up a bit drunk. "The third shipment of weapon
Olivia, My mother and I were having tea in the lounge. She was the only sane company I had. She spent her time telling me to give Caspian a chance. I already knew it was an act by then, but it still got to me. "He has people in the dungeons underground this estate. I think you should check out his collection. I think he has James' relatives there. Haven't met any of them, but I suspect it," She whispered to me, and I wondered how she came about that information. Of course, we could no longer link each other because of the diamond silver bracelet on my wrist. I hated Caspian. I was worried for my mother. She wasn't a trained military officer, so stealth wasn't among her skills. If she happened upon the place and went inside, there was no way Caspian wouldn't know. I was worried for her. "You shouldn't be snooping about, mother; it isn't safe," I whispered back, and she smiled at me to keep up appearances. "Were you able to reach him?" I asked her, and she knew I was talking abo
