Chapter Seventeen
(Olivia POV)
It’s been two days since the weird Heat hit and Xavier has been apologizing non-stop through the pack link. I try to reassure him that I don’t blame him at all. He couldn't stop what happened. I told him that I felt some peace that it was at least him that was there with me. I hurry to get ready and go meet him down for breakfast in the dining room. This will be my first time leaving my room since the incident; I slip on my sandal and take a step out of my room. As I make my way down the hall I feel someone grab my arm. My instincts take over and I grab the hand holding me and twist around and swing my leg around making contact with the leg of the person behind me. I hear a loud groan and when I look down I am met with the sight of Christian laying on the ground looking surprised.
Chapter Eighteen (Christian POV) I get in the car with Wilder, driving as he is still too young to have a license but my mind is in the Jeep with her. Great, now I am jealous of my Beta. He did seem uncomfortable about riding with that she wolf Monica. I saw the way she was looking at him as well, she has to be the mate he said he met. I haven’t talked to him about his plan on how to handle the situation. Hell, I never even told him about my mate's situation even though he is my best friend. “So Alpha have you ever gone floating down a river before? It is very relaxing and fun.” I turn my head to glance at Wilder before returning my sight to the road andI answer, “We don’t do this type of stuff in my pack. We focus on training and things
Chapter Nineteen(Olivia POV)“Are you being serious right now Savannah? That worthless bitch can’t even have pups, she is useless. She is ruined. No better than trash. I have no mate.”Loathing that is the only word to express how I feel right now at hearing those words. I feel Liberty forcing me to the back of my own mind and I let her. It only takes a few minutes to knock that bitch out, when I go to approach her to rip her throat out like she deserves he saves her. He saves his fucking whore standing up for her against his own mate. Until that instance I didn’t know it was possible for someone to hate their mate. Wolves aren’t supposed to be able to hate their mates that the moon goddess gives them no matter what they do. There is the ability to be able to forgiv
Chapter Twenty(Olivia POV)It has been 4 months since Christian has left and I have done my best to move on. I know that he has because I felt it just the next day after he was gone. I have not been intimate again with Xavier but that will soon change. The only issue in the last couple of months have been the increase in rogue attacks on the pack. So far there have been only injuries and no casualties. It is like they are feeling out for weakness in our defenses. We have noticed the strain on the faces of our pack members. They need something to celebrate and today’s announcement will give them just that.**Flashback 2 days ago**Xavier has asked me out on a date and I was hesitant to accept, wi
Chapter Twenty-One (Olivia POV) I wake up and reach across the bed to feel Xavier but his side of the bed is cold and empty. I forgot that he had gone with my father and brother to deal with pack business last night and wouldn’t return til this evening. Last night was tough. We had been fighting rogues most of the afternoon and I was exhausted. Just when I fell into bed thinking I would get some rest the pain started. I had been too tired to block it out so I surrendered to it and thankfully it was over soon. I was able to pass out but then it started again but again was over quickly. I hate living with his mark on me and feeling all his intense emotions and I am more than tired of hiding and keeping mine from him when he doesn’t care how he affects me. So I decide to have a li
Chapter Twenty-Two(Christian POV)I put the letter in my pocket and went to my room for some privacy. When I enter however there is Kim lying naked on my bed. I release a growl of frustration. “Kim, what are you doing here?”“Well your uncle thought you could use a distraction before tonight and Savannah is busy at the spa getting ready for you. But Alpha, I am already ready for you.” She spreads her legs and runs her fingers through her pussy lips.“Get out. I don’t need a distraction.”She gets up from the bed and walks toward me. She takes my hand and places it on her pussy. “See Alpha already wet and dripping for you.”
Chapter Twenty-Three (Lex POV) “What do you mean there isn’t going to be a Luna Ceremony Alpha it begins in just over an hour?” I look at Christain confused by his statement. He has had the whole pack having to deal with Savannah's ridiculous demands for a month, now he plans to cancel? “Read this” He hands me a letter that appears to be from his mother. I read it but I am confused. “I’m confused Christian, this doesn’t make sense.” “They weren’t my fucking parents Lex I was born before all this before they took Alpha Luna Ireland because I am older than Olivia. He fucking lied to me my whole life he made me who he wanted me to be. I fucking let him turn me into something, I let him fill my heart with hate and a need
Chapter Twenty-Four (Olivia POV) I am just sitting by the river having watched the sky go dark waiting for word that Xavier has returned. I had heard that my dad and mom had returned but Xavier had stayed behind to do something. All of a sudden a horrible pain erupts in my side and I double over. I lift my shirt and I search for some reason for the pain but see nothing. ‘Mate’ Liberty whimpers ‘mate is hurt.’ Without a second thought I shift and begin running off the territory and mind link Bradley that I am going to Christian something is wrong. I run as fast as Liberty can take me. I have no idea where we are going but Liberty is following instinct and says she is communicating with King and with Bradley’s wolf. I can feel Xavier tryin
Chapter Twenty-Five(Christian POV)I watch Olivia as someone is mindlinking her and I see the devastation as it gains ground across her face. The emotional pain I feel is almost enough to bring me to my knees but it doesn’t because it isn’t mine. That's when I realize that my pack has made it to their land and that Lex has arrived with the letter too. I take a step toward her wanting an opportunity to explain now that we were face to face but she takes a step back. Soon her friend Bradley is standing in front of me growling protectively. It has me fighting every part of me from ripping him to shreds for blocking me from my mate. I turn to see Alpha Luna Ireland staring at me sadly with tears streaking down her face.“Bradley and Mom leave us please.” She squares h
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.
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
