Thank you for your love and support.
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
James Being connected to Olivia made me feel invincible. I never knew how incomplete I was until I claimed her. Suddenly everything came into focus. I watched her sleep peacefully, and was glad she looked better than when I took her from Caspian. I was delighted; I snapped out of my sadness and did the right thing. I would have truly lost everything. I kissed her forehead and went to get ready for the day. I planned on taking Olivia to see her mother, so I decided to rush through my day job as alpha and return. Knowing she would feel sad waking up in an empty room, I left her a note telling her I would be back by twelve to take her to her mother, and then I linked Emma to plead with her to help me keep Olivia company while I was away. I tried to link Chloe and heard she had left for the base with Dwayne early in the morning. I wondered what the two of them might be doing there. I quietly got ready so I didn't disturb Olivia's sleep and left my room. I bumped into my father in
