James, The new resolve I had was incredible. I did not feel useless anymore. I did not know how much I loved Olivia until now. Nothing felt good. Having her with me really helped when the problems started. I was desperate and impatient; I wanted her back. I was also ashamed of my behaviour. The girl's only crime was that she loved deeply. I remember how she looked at the holiday house the last time I saw her and the horrible things I said to her. She was crying, and I was too stupid to know it was difficult for her. She must be lost living in that mansion with Caspian. I could only imagine what he had done to her, but I was now focused. I hoped it wasn't too late. For the first time in six weeks, I decided to go to the office. I was geared up for the future. I had too much to fight for. Olivia, my parents and my island. I wasn't the alpha for nothing. I intended to risk everything, including my crucial mark, to get everything back into order. I arrived at the office, and Dwa
*Warning Torture* Olivia. After Beta Caleb and his friends left, I returned to my room. I knew I should run away, but I knew I couldn't get far. Sitting in the room was stupid, but I had no choice. My heart was beating fast. I knew my scent was in the dungeon. There was no way I could deny it. I looked at the bracelet that hindered me from getting a fighting chance and cried. What if James is still mad at me and doesn't try to help me? The only support I had was my mother. I did not know what my father had done to her. One thing I knew was that he would try to recoup all the money he lost because she ran away, and it was a lot of money. I felt alone. I did not know what to do. I knew Caspian would injure me significantly for what I had done. I had just released one of his leverages. He might say he cared about me, but he had beaten me countless times for it to be true. I doubt this will be different, but I had no choice but to sit and wait for it. The worst that would hap
OliviaI fell asleep strung up. I welcomed the sleep because it made the pain stop.I woke up to the sound of moving chains. I was in pain and saw Caspian removing the chains he bound me with. He pulled the clothing that was over my mouth.Releasing my hand from the bars, he carried me out of the room to the bedroom. He did not speak a word to me. I preferred it that way. I did not want to hear what he had to say. The fact that he had not killed me yet meant he wasn't planning to.He went into the bathroom and spent some time there. Because I still had that bracelet on my wrist, my healing was slow, but it sped up faster than when I had the silver chains and bounds on.Caspian returned to the room and carried me to the bathroom.He had run some water, and I dreaded if salts were in it because of my wounds.He placed me in the water, and I screamed from the pain."Shhh," He said, patting my hair gently."You broke my heart, Olivia.." he said, looking at me."Why couldn't you just g
*warning, there is reference to mental and physical abuse.* Olivia.My mother attended to my wounds and helped me get off the bed. Caspian did not return until the afternoon. He seemed happy, and I did not want to know why. Whatever brought a smile to his face was doom to someone else."I see you have seen your mother," he said, and I immediately bowed. I did not want to talk to him."Excuse us, Guenevere," He said, and my mother became scared and went on her knees."Please do not punish my baby any more than you already have. I am begging you," She cried in fear, and he seemed irritated by her actions."I do not like the fact you are making me out to be a monster. I am nothing like your husband. I just want time alone with my wife. Leave," He told my mother using his command, and she scrambled to her feet and reluctantly left.I knew how the command was. James had used it on me once. Remembering the scenario brought tears to my eyes.Caspian came to sit beside me and lifted my chin
James.I got dressed in the morning, eager to go to Eastwood for the exchange. I was nervous and hopeful that the exchange would work out fine. I prayed that Caspian wouldn't double-cross me and there would be no incident. I couldn't wait to hold Olivia in my arms and beg for her forgiveness. I could not wait to tell my parents how disappointed I was in them. They were the biggest leverage Caspian had, all because they had thrown caution to the wind and went to battle without my knowledge and permission. They might be strong, intelligent and brave, but I was now their alpha. They disregarded me entirely and put the entire island in jeopardy.I will speak my mind and then hug them so tightly that I will never let them out of my sight again. I have been scarred that badly.I wore a simple t-shirt and jeans and stepped out of my room. To my surprise, Chloe, Paul and Tristan were in the hallway, all dressed and ready."What do you think you are doing?" I asked them and Tristan smiled
Olivia My mother and I got into the Helicopter and felt out of place. Chloe was there, and I knew she hated me the most. I honestly did not want to be there. They hugged their parents, so my mother and I sat side by side, holding each other's hands; we felt like intruders. "Honestly, we do not mind going to our apartment, please," My mother said, holding my hands, but no one answered. The Helicopter lifted into the air, and my head remained bowed, not wanting to look at anyone and aggravate them. Though they had taken the silver bands off their parents, my mother and I did not show them ours to avoid an altercation. We would have to find a way to remove it when we get to Woodclaw city. "Olivia, how are you feeling?" Beta Paul asked me; honestly, I could not find my voice. My head was still bowed, and I nodded, not looking at him. "Olivia?" Paul asked, and his father shut him up. "Enough, Paul. Can't, you see, she is mute. After everything, look at where she landed herself," h
James. I could not believe that I finally had Olivia in my arms. When I saw what Caspian did to her, knowing she was carrying my child made me mad. I had never been so determined to kill anyone, but this was it for me. I was pissed off. The doctor came to attend to Olivia, and he had so much to say. According to him, Olivia had suffered mental trauma, was malnourished, and the concentration of silver in her blood did not allow her voice to heal after screaming for so long from the torture. He said she would soon be able to speak correctly, but we should try and keep her from silver. I made the doctor attend to Guenevere, who needed to go through serious rehabilitation because of the substances given to her by her husband. I could not believe Caspian would do this to Olivia's mother. He sent her back to the person she was running from because she had contacted me. Suddenly a slow death seemed better than the one I had planned for him. My parents were okay, and my father had fi
Chloe.Seeing how far James went for our family made me realise the fire had chosen the right Alpha. I had never hated that my brother was Alpha, but I had hated my failures. Failure to live up to my parent's expectations. Failure to protect my heart and my mind, failure to be me. David had taken advantage of my vulnerability, and I had trusted him blindly. A trust that I knew I would live to regret.While in gaol, I thought of everything I would have done right, and when James got me out, I thought of everything I needed to fix. My biggest regret was Dwayne. Although he did not make his intentions known early, I knew he cared for me. The fling I had with David messed me up, and now when I think of it, I realise it was planned. The man wanted to get me at all costs, and I let him.I had tried to reconnect with Dwayne since I was released, but he had refused to give me a chance. I guess telling him not to challenge David when they came to arrest me did it for him. After the meetin
