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

Chloe. Dwayne and I sat on the grass side by side, with me leaning on him. We stared at the horizon and city; it was a beautiful sight to share. I suspected Tristan would not return. After about an hour, I knew my baby brother wasn't coming back. "How are things at home?" Dwayne finally asked. "Great, my parents are back, and Olivia is alive and well," I said, and his face became sad. "I owe that woman big time. Caspian was going to kill my father if it weren't for her bravery," he said, and my heart became sad. "She paid dearly for freeing uncle Caleb, your father and uncle Kirk. He strung her up with silver and beat her senseless with it. I suspect he also violated her, but she hasn't spoken up about it," I said, and he was shocked. "She is pregnant," He said, and I figured his father must have told him. "More reason for the psycho to inflict pain on her. She is currently receiving treatment," I said, and he balled his fist. "I hope we get to pay that bastard a visit soon," h

James Olivia finally woke up, close to dinner. The meds made her sleep for a long time. There was colour on her face, and I hoped she would regain her lost weight. "Hey," I said, stroking her hair gently, and she smiled at me. "Hey," She replied, her voice clearer than before. She looked at her hand and realised the I.V. line was out. "They took it out two hours ago. You slept through it," I told her, and she smiled and tried to sit up. I helped her. She looked at me and frowned. "How long have you been here?" She asked me, and I smiled. "The whole day," I said and pointed at my laptop on the table. "I did some work over there," I said, and she smiled. I leaned close to her and kissed her gently. She returned the kiss with more energy than before. "I am never letting you go, Olivia," I said, and she smiled. "I know," She said with a breathy voice. My mark burned slightly, and I kept it to myself. I had given the fire to Caspian, so I could not understand why my mark was bur

TiaWhen Luke and I retired, we wanted to get back all the time we lost attending to pack issues, so we travelled and, for a while, never stayed home, believing our children were taking care of everything. Now I know we were wrong. Aesop was always there for Luke and Caleb. No matter how messed up it was, he was always there to hold their hand and guide them, despite the crazy breakfasts and Stacy's erratic behaviour, which ended up being her cry for help. However messed up it seemed, the fact still remains that he was there through it all.Luke and I wanted to spend time together. We wanted to return to the days when it was just us, and we got carried away, leaving our children to deal with their issues alone.David and Emily wouldn't have made progress if we had been around long enough and if we had made ourselves accessible. Luke was too strict for his good, and I just went along with it sometimes, thinking it was for the best. It made our children afraid of us and unwilling to

Tia I linked William to prep Emily for questioning after changing my protective gear. I wanted to know all the secrets she found tangled in Caspian's sheets. There was a possibility she hoped to work on him just like she tried to work on James. I hurried out of the locker room and linked Dwayne to find out where Emily's questioning would take place. "In the eight-room, Luna," Dwayne replied, and I told them I would soon be there. "James, where are you?" I linked my son. "Paul and I are in the eight-room," He replied, and I quickened my steps. I did not want them to engage Emily. "Do not engage her," I warned. "I haven't spoken a word to her, but I can't say the same for Chloe. She was mad and tried to beat Emily up; Paul had to hold her," James said, and I hurried my steps. Everyone was present when I arrived at the room, and Emily was in silver cuffs in a chair. She looked haggard, and she had lost a lot of weight. I guess running from Caspian had made her stop her beauty r

Olivia. Emma came to the room an hour after James left. I was happy to hang out with her because she was warm and friendly. As much as I noticed Chloe had changed, she still scared me. I wondered how they found out about David and Emily, or maybe they had known all along. I was glad she was out of prison because I knew locking her up got to James and added to his stress. "Goddess, you look like shit," Emma said, sitting on the couch in the room, and I giggled. "Try being Caspian's prisoner for a month and see how well you do," I said, and she raised her hand, surrendering and shaking her head. "No, please, thank you," She said and winked at me. "Congratulations, by the way," She said, and I smiled at her. "You are lucky, you know," Emma said, and I nodded. One thing I was sure of was that no one gets away from Caspian, but my mother and I had gotten away. I was grateful for it. Thinking of the day David took me to Eastwood, I thought I could handle it. I thought I could man

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

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
