KAY'S POV" So she didn't even bother doing anything in your interest?" I asked and she nodded in response. I took a deep breath, thinking of ways that I could possibly help her as I seemed to already be running out of ideas.She was troubled by it which I didn't want here to be but it was also hard to help her. I knew just how much she didn't want to marry me and although it baffled me, I was ready to do just anything to keep our friendship.There was no doubt or lie that I liked her but I was sure that she didn't and would never like me which was something that I had learnt to deal with the hard way. It was certainly not easy but also took a lot for me to agree with her.Staying in the friend zone was so much better than having to permanently lose her and even much worse like she hated me. I was going to stay by her side either as friends or lovers.She wasn't feeling too good about the entire situation and I could easily have seen that she was a little stressed out. I took her hand
OLIVIA'S POVBethany came up to me and I didn't even bother looking her way as I was already so caught up in my thoughts and she was the last person that crossed my mind. I didn't notice her until she had to smack the table just to gain my attention. I immediately snapped right out of my thoughts and looked up at her." Oh, how're you, Bethany?" I asked, watching as she took a seat right next to me. She has always been so vigilant when it comes to me so there was no surprise that she was quick to notice that something was wrong with me." Are you okay? You drifted out for a second there," she said to me. I took a deep breath, making up my mind to let her know what was baffling me rather than having it keep it in which was of no use." Are you going to say something or just keep giving me the silent treatment?" She beckoned on me. I didn't mean to give her the silent treatment it was never my intention but I just couldn't help it." It's about Kay," I finally revealed.Her mouth opened
Olivia’s POV I peeked through the hall to see the large expanse as I felt my legs freeze. I found it hard to move as I stared blankly. “Ma’am, you need to go in now; we are already late.” I ignored her comments and heaved a long sigh like it was going to help the situation I was in. The whole hall buzzed with so many guests in attendance because a socialite was getting married. The guests seemed more optimistic than the bride herself, me. Was this really happening to me? I walked down the aisle rather, strolling as I headed to the altar where my mom stood along with my soon to be husband. My expression was as cold as hell because at this point crying won’t do anything to help the pending issue. All I wanted was to get this over with as soon as possible. The whole hall became quiet as everyone had their eyes on me. I wondered why there were so many guests when it was just an engagement and not even the wedding. My cold face turned into a Frown as he walked up to me. “Are you o
Olivia’s POV I woke up the next morning with a very bad headache, I found it hard to stand up as I scoured through my surrounding: Where was I? I looked around as I struggled to sit up straight, I was beyond startled when I saw Lucas sitting directly in front of me with a cold look plastered on his face. “Lucas? Where am I? What are you doing here?” I asked all in a single breath trying to recall what happened last night. I looked around me and checked my clothes to make sure they were still intact, for some reasons I didn’t quite trust Lucas. He was never friendly to me so why did he bother to intervene? Why would he bring me here? “Is that how you say thank you?” He snapped at me coldly which made me retort in fear. “Thank you for what? Why am I here? Why did you bring me here?” I questioned again with a stern look on my face. “So you don’t remember anything?” He asked getting up from the chair and strolled over to me. “If I did, would I ask you?” I said struggling to get
Lucas POV Olivia was now admitted into the hospital and I felt more relaxed about what happened. I was so scared about her that I had to call the others so they could know the situation over here. “Hello Lucien; something bad just happened.“ I said and made an abrupt stop. I knew while Lucien felt about her and I didn’t want to be the reason why he won’t be settled throughout the day. “What happened? Why did you stop? Speak.” He yelled out through the phone because I was sure he could already sense the tense atmosphere between the both of us. “It’s about Olivia brother.” I said and stppprd again. I didn’t know how to break it to him that I let Olivia go this morning, I should have stopped her because I know Lucien will blame me for this. I tjogjt she was just bluffing and she wasn’t going to go anywhere not until Kay came to beg me to go find her and bring her back. “You’re purposely getting o my nerves what happened to Olivia? Where is she? How is she?” He asked all under a s
Olivia’s POV My thoughts were interrupted as the door flung open and I saw Lucien run into the room in a happy worried sort of look. “Lucien? Is everything okay?” I muttered as he walked gently to me like I was going to disappear any moment from now. My heart skipped a beat or was there something I didn’t know? “Olivia you’re okay.” He cried out in joy walking over to me as he placed his hands gently on mine. What exactly was going on? Since when did Lucien start being this nice to me? For as long as I could remember he was never really this accommodating. “What’s going on? Why are you being nice to me?” I blurted out because curiosity won’t let me have peace . I felt something fishy at once because they were the main reasons why I wanted to leave to begin with. They made life miserable for me and was the reason my mom didn’t believe me. Now I was in the hospital and Lucien was being nice? I wasn’t that stupid to fall for such. “What do you mean? It’s been two weeks, everyone
Lucien’s POV “How could you let that happen?” I said directly, staring at Lucas. “Chill bro, at least she’s fine now. We have nothing to worry about again. Stop acting too concerned about it, it's going to make me puke.” Lucas muttered out puffing in another cigarette. “You know what dads going to do if he finds out have actually been smoking, things are going to look bad for you so I would tell you to stop.” I said calmly pacing around the room. “Oh please, he’s never going to find out about that and please I am no longer a child so I can’t pretty much do anything I want.” He replied bluntly. “What’s going on here?” Lucar asked me over the cup of drink he poured in for me. “Just me trying to tell your brother how smoking would eventually get him into trouble with dad.” I replied and we all bursted out into laughter. “Leave him alone, he’s really not a baby anymore so I think he should be able to do pretty much anything now.” Lucar said in his defense. “Not until dad finds out
Lucien's POVFlashbackThe car accident had been boggling my mind all week, and now I couldn't just sit around and do nothing about it. I didn't want any of it to be traced back to my brothers and I, and I couldn't underestimate what Olivia would do. My brothers believed everything would be fine, but I knew all the evidence had to be erased.So, I set up a meeting with Jonna, a hacker. If I wanted the problem gone, I would need to do something about it myself. Dad was going to freak if he found out about this, and I wasn't keen on finding out what he was going to do. I was perfectly fine protecting my brothers and I, even if they didn't know. I met Jonna at a dimly lit, inconspicuous restaurant on the outskirts of town. The ambiance was shrouded in secrecy, perfect for the sensitive task at hand. I arrived before her, choosing a corner table where I could keep an eye on the entrance, hidden in the shadowy alcove. My brothers were in the dark about this clandestine meeting, and I inten
I accepted the darkness that filled me up.The pain in Lucien’s eyes when I floated away caused me to rage, he didn’t deserve to mourn me. He had to pay but who would ever teach him that lesson.For so long, all I did was rage and kept moving in the darkness.Was the afterlife supposed to be this way, empty and filled with my pain!One problem was that I just couldn’t remember how I had gotten here and for how longI've been here or how much more I was going to be here but I had to get out of here. I couldn't stay here anymore. The actions that led me here are vague in my memory, I died.I died in the hands of the man that said he loved me…the man that supposedly cared.My legs gave way for me and I collapsed on the floor tired and frustrated. It was too dark in here and I couldn't see anything. I was supposed to get out of here? Back home did anyone even miss me?My child!!!There was no way I was going to let him have her.Was this how the afterlife was designed to look?I couldn’
OLIVIA'S POV.The past three years had not been a not so easy journey for me. I had to leave the pack to birth my child due to the fact that I couldn't bear to face the embarrassment and shame that was associated with having a child out of wedlock. After leaving leaving the pack to give birth, I had sought solitude in a remote cabin deep in the woods, far away from the life I had known. Lucien had been the father of my child, a secret that I had kept hidden from even my own family.I had needed time to regain my sense of self, to come to terms with the conflicting emotions that had swirled around me. Being away from the pack had allowed me to heal, but it had also been a lonely and challenging path. Lucien's support had made it less lonely, but it could only go so far. I had to deal with the rest of the same by myself.As I cradled our child in my arms, I gazed out of the cabin's window. I had given birth to a beautiful, precious life, but it had come at the cost of leaving behind the
Marcus POVWhen I was about to go bed tonight and Elina joked about leaving me behind someday just because I didn't offer her a piece of my dessert seemed like a joke to me but as I held her lifeless body in my arms I couldn't help but blame myself for being so stupid. It all started when I got a distress signal from the head guard at the weak spit of our forte and I dismissed it thinking it was the usual alarm when they saw a wild animal but I was wrong, there was tons of things I was wrong about that night.I was also wrong about Lucien, he wasn't my brother no, he was the cruel bastard who took away my mate and soul away from me. I couldn't help but feel nothing at first but then got hit by a huge wave of excruciatingly painful pain and tears couldn't alleviate it. Elina gave her life for me and died in my arms right before me and I couldn't do anything to save her life. I had promised her eternity yet I couldn't guarantee few years for herHer once tender and warm hands now felt c
FlashbackLucien's POVMy lips curled into a wicked smile as I watched the soldiers prepare their weapons and sharpen their swords. A soldier unsheathed his sword and it shone brightly more than the others and I was instantly attracted to it, I signalled for him to come and when he did I gently patted his shoulders and spoke with a loud voice."Whoever manages to kill a hundred men of our enemies I will not only give him a sword made of pure gold but also anything he wants!" I declared.They all cheered and howled loudly, I chuckled seeing their enthusiasm to destroy what was once my pride but I needed to weed out the weeds before they sprout more than usual. Damon strode in fully clad in his armor and arched his eyebrow seeing the men were in high spirits, I tilted my head slightly and smiled."What's up with them?" He asked in more of a whisper."You can ask them yourself, I have them a little bit of a morale. Whoever kills the most will get a price from me." I narrated.He frowned
Olivia’s POV"I'll get the orange juice." I volunteered and reached for the fridge. I took out the jug of orange juice and took it to the dining room, dropped it on the table and went back to the kitchen to get cups. As I was about to reach for the cups in the cupboard they were kept I suddenly felt dizzy.I shook my head to shake off the feeling and my vision cleared once more. I returned the cups to the dining table and the pancakes were already served, Riana couldn't wait to eat as I hungrily devoured my own portion after they said the grace.They gossiped over the meal and Deborah told them of the hysterical patient that had been at the ward who wouldn't stop asking for his mommy all through the night. The man was thirty-five years old and he still cried to be given a lollipop and also requested for his mom's presence. The three ladies laughed at this as well and then they ran out of orange juice.I once again offered to get it and went to the fridge to get an anatomy jug of ju
Olivia's POV“All this while I’ve been sick like you know. I just want to settle some things in the Pack and make sure I’ve handled some things before you come home with our baby. ” Lucien said, looking at me with a very frank look on his face.That gave me the hint that whatever he wanted to say must be so important.My mind was quite unsettled because I didn’t know for sure if he was all better now or he was hiding it from me.“So are you better now or is that what you wanted to tell me?” I walked searching deeply into his eyes.I knew the type of person he was and he would do anything just to make sure I don’t worry about him. That was the whole reason he brought me here and I didn’t want to make things harder for him so I didn’t object.Here it was more peaceful and I had to live among humans but it wasn’t so hard to do with the people I had around. Even if I didn’t tell Lucien about the hee friends I had because he didn’t want to take any chances, I was being careful myself.“I’m
Olivia’s POVOne year later,“I’ve missed you so much, why didn’t you call at least.” I said, trying my best not to ruin the moment with my tears.“I will tell you everything now; no more hiding things from you again. I will always come out to tell you the truth.” He said with a very calm look.A part of me was very excited to hear it while the other part of me was scared that the truth would break me.Still I wanted to know what’s going on, so I can support him through every step of his journey.“Let’s sit down, I’m not going right back, I’m still going to be here with you. I want to see how far you’ve gone with getting used to the baby. I know it has not been anything near easy for you and I’m sorry I hardly showed up.” Lucien walked me over to the garden swing and placed me there.He made me rest my back on his body while he stood behind me.I wanted more of this moment, more than this.Any moment from now this was going to end and I didn’t know why I felt so overwhelmed.I didn’t
Olivia ’s POV“Olivia .” I Heard a familiar voice call out to me.I didn’t want to believe because it couldn’t be and I was probably hallucinating:“Olivia .” The voice called out again and this time around I knew i wasn’t hallucinating:I turned back immediately and I was shocked to see Lucien standing there with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.My heart ached in excitement and surprise at the same time.“Lucien , is that really you?” I said in disbelief that all omg towards him as he stood there with a plain smile on his face.The same Lucien , my husband was here right in front of me.Seeing Lucien made me feel one kind of way, I felt so excited and at the same time I felt weird seeing him again. It’s been almost a month since I heard from him and I could see the difference.His eyes were pale now and from the look of his face it was evident that he was really sick.Why didn’t he let me know what he was going through all this while?Adrian told me he was getting really better a
OLIVIA'S P.O.VI was not sure what was going on with myself or why we were kissing this way. There was only one thing I was certain about at this moment, and that was I did not want this to end until I devoured him, all of him.My fingers sunk into his scalp as I pulled him closer, my fingers fisting into his thick and dark hair. It was as though our closeness was not enough. I repeatedly told myself that I must have gone mad but at this moment i totally did not care anymore, if he was my step brother or not.All caution was being thrown into the wind. I had been placed under a spell, if not something stronger than that and I did not wish to be freed. At all.I felt his hand gliding lower from the small of my back down to my bottom and he suddenly carried me up wrapping my legs around his waist. All hell had been broken loose.Another gasp was wrenched from my now swollen, red and moist lips as he began to move towards my bed, still kissing me like a ravaged beast.He pressed my whole
