OLIVIAHe sat down with us but I tried very hard not to make any form of eye contact with him, knowing just how much things had become very awkward between us even though I felt like it was only from my side since he felt perfectly normal about it."Are you going to finish that?" He asked me, getting me out of my thoughts. I looked over to what he was referring to, realizing that it was just the bacon that I was eating.I managed to look up at him with a smile although things felt awkward between us but I was just trying hard to keep up, making sure that no one noticed." Um…you can have it," I handed it to him. He looked at me then down at the bacon before taking a bite out of it while it was still I'm my hand.My breath hitched as everyone's attention suddenly diverted to us after that little display. I couldn't deny the fact that the diet was somewhat awkward but I just tried hard to contain it.He smiled, looking cheesy and maybe clueless but I just tried hard not to act as if I
OLIVIAWe were still arguing and I was feeling somewhat embarrassed even though I knew that she was just trying to tease me but my cheeks couldn't help it and I just hated the way I get all flustered up adding to the embarrassment that was put upon me." Just say it, just say it," she kept on pestering me. I was getting annoyed because she just wouldn't quit bugging me and it was getting rather annoying me and she looked up at me with a smirk.I was already more mortified and it was just like she was adding to it. " It's not what you think, in fact, I just think that you're going far with this."She opened her mouth to say something but just then there was a knock on the door. I was happy because it felt like some kind of way for me to simply escape and get out of her clutches.I got up from my bed to go answer the door. I opened up the door and saw Ria standing there. I was not expecting her since it was just around seven in the evening." Hello your Highness," she bowed down her hea
OLIVIAI couldn't have been more embarrassed as the king introduced him to us. My head was spinning so bad because I was definitely not expecting such an announcement and the worst part of things was that I don't even get a say in all of this which only make things more complicated.He was dressed very formally and greeted the king then simply smiled at us. I was fwelomg embarrassed and wanted to oppose everything right there and then but just decided to keep quiet so as not to cause a scene.He tried hard to make eye contact with me and I also tried harder to look away from him. I didn't want to have to look at him once again, my head was already spinning right there abd I was in more deep shit.The dinner was quite exquisite and all they were talking about and by they I meant my mother, the king and the beta. All that they were talking about was just about the wedding and engagement..I didn't evdn know who I was furious with but I could definitely agree that I wasn't happy with my
LUCIEN POVI was very angry to see that he was trying to drag her away, touching her without her consent. I was furious with this sight and wanted to literally punch the day light right out of him because he was crossing his limit.I watched, thinking that he was going to let her go but he was bent on holding her captive, acting like some kind of psycho that I couldn't take anymore. I tried watching and ignoring, thinking that he would let her go but he didn't." Let her go," I yelled, making both of them turn their attention to me. He instantly let go trying to act normal as if he hadn't been physically harassing her earlier.I walked over to them and stood beside her so as to protect and stop him from doing anything more than that. " What do you think you're doing? Don't you know what that it's called harassment," I scolded him.He looked down at the ground and I was surprised , thinking that maybe he had hit his head or something because he was usually very bold and today was just
OLIVIA POVI walked down the hall feeling very conscious about almost everything. I didn't even know if perhaps I was traumatized by what Kay did or I was just overreacting but I couldn't deny the fact that he scared me to the core and even just being around him was a big no for me.He freaked the hell out of me and I just couldn't take it anymore. I searched everywhere for Bethany wondering if she had arrived at school or was still home.She didn't come to my place as we usually go together but today she was absent which was very odd. I dialed her numbers but she didn't even pick up. I was already panicking thinking that something had perhaps happened to her.It was odd and I blamed myself for not going to check her at home when she didn't make it to my place and just went ahead assuming things. My heart was beating very fast as different thoughts crossed my head.I felt someone's hand tap me and gasped thinking that it was Kay. I turned to see that it was Bethany. I couldn't believ
OLIVIA POVI didn't know if it felt rather weird or normal to be thinking about Kay. It was something that I had tried ignoring for a while but now it seems as though it was somewhat overwhelming me immensely that I couldn't even take it any longer.I got up from my bed, feeling uneasy about the entire thing. My brain refused to pick up the entire thing to try to understand just what was going on with me. I thought that it was perhaps because of what was going on between us which was making things between us very awkward.I still found it hard to believe that we were in a situation like this because the last time I checked, he was like my best friend and I would have never thought he would go this far just so that he could be with me. It was by far very heartbreaking but I was trying to toughen up the pain.I checked the time on my phone, realizing that it was pretty early. The time was just three a.m. and yet it felt like I had slept for eternity. My heart kept on pounding wondering
OLIVIA'S POVI opened up the fridge to take something to eat and immediately after I shut the door to the fridge the person that I saw next wasn't at all to my pleasure. It was Kay and things were so awkward because he's living here now.I tried hard to ignore him but it was just so hard, he was acting as if he was everywhere, adding to my anger. I couldn't even move away from him as he always found ways to corner me.Just looking at him makes me loose my appetite and I hate the fact that I had to have him at home. I wished that his dad would just will just let him stay home rather than that thinking about their prospective interests.We avoided each other's gaze, trying hard to look away from him. He was about to walk away but we ended up bumping into each other. It only made things more and more awkward and despite the fact that we tried moving in different directions we we ended up bumping into each other." You go first," he made way for me.I didn't even bother thanking him or sa
OLIVIA'S POVI opened up my locker only to see something like flowers sitting there not far behind. I couldn't help but wonder who could've put it there, especially with the fact that I had no secret admirer and just looking at it made things rather fishy.I took it out of the locker and sniffed it, enjoying the cool scent and realizing that this was my favorite flower. I longed to know who might have dropped it in my locker and searched around to see if there was a card.I found one and read it, trying to get clues of who the flowers belonged to. The card looked very adorable, especially with the fact that it was covered in glitter. The person must know just how much I loved glitters.I kept smiling like such an idiot without even reading the card first to see who the mystery admirer could be. It was kind of new getting every guy's attention because I could clearly remember how back then nobody liked it and right now it seemed as if I'd become the center of attraction overnight." Wh
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
