Chapter Fifty One
(Christian POV)
After pounding on the door for I don’t know how long I walk away defeated. I enter my apartment and begin working on some pack work to catch up. The BBQ was a great opportunity to mingle with the other packs and work on alliances. I watch as my mate mingles along with the other packs and clearly avoids me all together. I wait until she stops to talk to my parents and brother before I approach. I know it is lame but I brought a plate of cupcakes.
“Hey, you have got to try these cupcakes. Their chocolate with raspberry frosting, I have already had 3.” My parents and brother take one and my mom shoots me a knowing look. Apparently she is onto me. “Alpha Olivia please take one I can’t eat another.”
She
Chapter Fifty Two (Olivia POV) I wake up feeling less than perfect. My head is throbbing slightly from the result of the drinking. It is what I deserve after drinking so much. I open my night stand drawer, pull out two pain killers and go to the bathroom, fill my glass and take my medications in one gulp. I drag myself to the shower and let the warm water wash over me. My mind keeps flipping through the night last night and I groan as I realize I spilled my emotions to Christian. ‘Yea and he helped you to bed and didn’t even try anything.’ ‘Your right he was a gentleman last night.’ ‘You will need to thank him.’ ‘Ugh of course
Chapter Fifty Three(Christian’s POV)I can’t help the smile that creeps onto my face as soon as my eyes open to be greeted by the light coming in from the window. I stretch out on the bed thinking about all that was learned last night. One, my mate is extremely talented, more than I knew her voice is beautiful. Two, there are many other males attempting to get my mates attention and I can't blame them; she's gorgeous nor could I stop the growl escaping my throat. Three that despite everything she could still love me. The fourth being the reality that I am not sure I am good enough for her yet. That thought has King whimpering in my mind.‘It doesn’t mean I will quit you mutt.’‘You better not but you have t
Chapter Fifty Four (Christian POV) “How do you ruin throwing ping pong balls in a bowl Christian, or are you just afraid that I will win more fish for the pups then you.” She reaches out and grabs me around the wrist. The sparks are amazing and that small smile has not left her lips. She doesn’t pull away at the sparks, instead she guides me to the game. She hands the man a dollar then holds out three ping pong balls to me. “All the money earned from these events goes to helping less fortunate packs.” She explains and I just keep watching her. “Gosh don’t tell me you don’t know how to toss a ping pong ball?” She giggles slightly. I can’t stop the smile that plays at the edge of my lips. I am confused by this turn of events. Maybe me helping her home last night warmed her up to me. I reluctantly pull my eyes from her face and grab
Chapter Fifty-Five(Christian POV)I am drying myself from my cold shower thinking about everything that happened after we ate last night. She was silent at my confession that I wanted to be more than friends but I will take her silence as possible hope. We continued to hang out mostly with her friends but after a while it was just the two of us riding the ferris wheel as the sun began to set. Cheesy I know but it was perfect. Then when we were at the top I took my chance. I grabbed her face and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. It wasn’t demanding or lustful. I just tried to let her know how much she meant to me with that kiss. When I pulled back her eyes were closed a small smile on her lips but a single tear fell down her cheek. Before I could ask her why she was crying the ferris wheel began to move again, her eyes opened a
Chapter Fifty Six(Christian POV)I throw the tie down on the bed and decide that I will skip it for tonight as I slip on my jacket. It is traditional for the high ranking pack members to dress for events in something that has their pack colors. Tonight I am wearing a black shirt, pants and shoes. My suit jacket is a deep scarlet velvet material with a black satin lapel. I look back at the scarlet tie that is disposed of on the bed again before turning to leave my room.I make my way to the backyard where the ball is taking place and see a large dance floor set up in the center of tables decorated in various different colors with fall centerpieces. I begin to mingle around talking to other Alphas the whole time keeping my eyes on the search for one Alpha in particular.
Chapter Fifty Seven (Olivia POV) When I hear the lock click I surrender myself to him. I turn in his direction and sink onto my knees, my hands reaching for his belt. My body is literally in pain wanting me to rush through and finally get what I need but I don't. I move my hands slowly as I loosen his belt. I gaze up at him and lick my lips as I make my way to the button of his dress pants. “Olivia, stop.” My hands halt and I turn my eyes to the ground so that he can’t see the hurt there. He says he wants me but he won’t let me touch him. I feel as he places his hand under my chin turning my eyes up to his. His thumb grazes my bottom lip and I open my mouth slightly and let a moan out. “Olivia I am struggling to control myself please don
Chapter Fifty Eight (Chrisitan POV) It had been two months since the night I shared with my mate and it has been two months since I last saw and heard from her. I often relive those moments together when I am in my room alone and the memory of the morning after. **Flashback** I don’t even open my eyes, afraid that all that happened last night will have been a dream and she still won’t want me. The thought has King growling in my head. I roll over to wrap my mate in my arms to find the other side of the bed empty and cold causing my eyes to snap open. If it wasn’t for her scent lingering on the sheets I would worry it had all been a dream. I get up and notice that her dress and items including the skirt I nev
Chapter Fifty Nine (Olivia POV) ‘Liberty are you with me?’ ‘I’m with you but I am worried.’ ‘We are always worried when this time comes.’ ‘This is different, we can't shift this time.’ ‘Why Liberty? I feel like you have left me this time unable to shift to let you free. I know you are angry about what happened after we arrived.’ ‘It is not that. I have not left you.’ ‘What is it then?’ I am met by nothing but silence. I again feel alone as I get myself ready for the ceremony. I slip on my black dress the co
Being a Silver is both a blessing and a curse. We are blessed with gifts by the Moon Goddess and cursed with mates that don’t see our worth and cause us so much pain before eventually accepting us. Mates that though in the long run complete us, have also caused the loss of so many of my loved ones. I was raised to cherish my mate when I found them but I refuse to lose anymore of the people that I love. I pray that I never find them, being the Goddesses Alpha I won’t feel the bond fully until I accept it. That again leaves me both blessed and cursed. When Elena bumped into me almost a year ago about a month after my 18th birthday and hesitantly stated she believed I was her second chance mate I couldn’t have been more relieved. I met Elena at Alpha training, we became close friends and I had planned to actually make her my Beta. She is the gamma’s daughter of the pack training was in a
Chapter Sixty Six (Olivia POV) I feel like we have been at the pack hospital for hours when it probably has only just been minutes. Something is wrong. It is too soon for the pup to come. I have been feeling uncomfortable all day but the pain is too much. I don’t know which is worse, this pain or the fear that I am feeling. I can’t find the words to even speak, and the fear in Christian’s eyes has my heart clenching. They show us to a room and the doctors and nurses are running around hooking me up to machines and trying to get me changed into a hospital gown. I turn and look toward Christian “I..I’m sorry no matter what happens tell our pup I loved them and loved you.” The movement in the room stops, everything goes quiet as they
Chapter Sixty Five (Chrisitan POV) The meeting with the packs went well. Most of the Dark Skies Pack decided to join Scarlet Moon and those that decided not was for reasons of having family and friends nearby. I couldn’t help but chuckle at how easy the meeting went as Olivia had been so nervous. The Scarlet Moon pack was open to the idea as long as it meant they got their rightful Luna. Olivia actually teared up by how excited my pack was to welcome her and her pack to ours. I can’t lie I was filled with pride at the lack of contesting that came from my pack which was actually zero. Everyone was excited. I had been a little worried about how Olivia would feel about Kathy and some of other she wolves in the pack staying but she simply shrugged it off and said that it was time to move on.
Chapter Sixty-Four(Olivia POV)“Are you sure you can’t come home sooner?”“Bug, we agreed I would extend my training. I know you're anxious to be with Christian full time and I promise I should be home by the time the baby is born.”“That’s in just over a month Wilder.”“I know and I can’t wait to meet my new niece or nephew. I promise it will be worth the wait.”“You keep saying that but I miss my brother.”“You are just eager to turn over the pack. Have you talked to Christian about combining the two packs?”
Chapter Sixty Three(Christian POV)We have moved from outside to my living room in the packhouse. Castor and Franklin sitting down close to each other. My parents sat down on the chairs leaving only the loveseat for myself and Olivia.“What changed your mind?” Castor asks. “Not that I’m not happy I am just curious.”“Honestly several things but mostly it was Christian.”“Christian?” The question leaves Olivia’s mouth in just over a whisper.“Yea, I honestly did not realize I would be mated to a male. I mean I dated females in high school.” A low growl escapes Castor. “Calm do
Chapter Sixty-Two (Castor POV) We move toward our destination in quiet as I let my mind wander to Jensen trying to not think of what is about to come. Jensen was my first mate, my first love, my first chance of happiness. Jensen had dated women all through high school. I turned 18 years old just two months before him and was sure he was going to reject me because I was a male. It was what I thought was going to be the hardest 2 months of my life but I was sure wrong. Jensen was a strong warrior and on the high school football team and dated cheerleaders. Then on graduation day he looked amazing with his sandy blond hair pulled back in a bun with his sides shaved, and as he walked to his seat after getting his diploma his brown eyes turned to mine as he sniffed the air. There wa
Chapter Sixty One(Olivia POV)It has been a long journey but I am glad to officially be home. I am approaching the boundary line at the long dirt road when I hear a growl coming from nearby.“Growl all you want I told you she is not here like I have told you everyday for a week.”“Talk to me like that again and I will shred you to pieces.”I pick up my pace and that is when Christian’s back comes into view. He is standing in front of his truck with his fist clench. “Harm Castor and I will end you and my alliance with your pack in a heartbeat.”He turns around with a look of disbelief, “End me?”
Chapter Sixty (Olivia POV) I just swing my feet off the bed when Bradley walks into the room. My mind was racing with the news the doctor gave me and when Liberty confirmed we were indeed pregnant there was only one place I knew I needed to be. “What are you doing Livie?” “Is he here?” “Is who here?” I see that he is not looking at me. “I heard him, Bradley but I also saw him return before I lost consciousness. Where is Christian I need to tell him something.” “About the pup? He already knows. The doctor told us by accident when he gave us the update.” His tone is both caring and hard.
