OLIVIA'S POVI checked the time for the fifteenth time. I've been literally waiting for this trio to be called out because I've sent the video to the king but of course I did it anonymously because I couldn't let them know that I'm the one who sent it but I'm sure that they'll figure it out anyways.I was still waiting for them to get called out but didn't hear anything, I was about to give up thinking that probably the king just didn't take it as anything important and didn't bother calling them.It hurts my heart though and just as I was about to sleep and just let it go that was when I heard the king's furious voice.." Lucas, Luca and Lucien!!!," He called out loud.The voice was like that of thunder and that was when I knew that this was my perfect opportunity to get back at them and also watch some drama. It was like telenovelas but in a dramatic and payback way.I came out of my room and saw them coming out one by one. The king was still watching the video. My room was upstairs
LUCAS POVI couldn't believe that my dad was serious about this. He was threatening us because of this low life girl who isn't even his real daughter but feels like he can make us less of a priority.I wanted to kill that girl and wished that we had just dumped her over the bridge where her body would never be found but of course I can never do that because of how much she means to my dad and just how much trouble we would get in.I was going to teach this girl a very good lesson. But first we had to make my dad believe that we've left her alone and just going to focus on whatever we got going.We would also have to maintain a safe distance because of the spies that my dad suddenly decided to set up to watch us. We would have to make sure we misled them and made them think that we weren't going to bother her again so she wouldn't see just what was coming to her." Do I make myself clear?," My dad said with his voice so loud.I knew that we couldn't escape from all this and at all and
OLIVIA'S POVSchool was rather not exactly like school at all. It was unusually quiet and it made me feel as though something was quite wrong. I didn't care though because I haven't seen the terrible three all day and this was exactly what I wanted.We finished class early and I went to put my books back into my locker. Bethany was right there with me and we were discussing some important issues until Kay joined us." What's up?," He asked enthusiastically. " Fine," we both responded casually. I was trying to fit my books into my locker but it was apparently too much " Don't worry, I'll help you," Kay said, noticing my distress. I smiled and let him handle it actually.I didn't know why but for some reason I just felt this kind of weird feeling whenever I was with Kay.I didn't know whether to like it or not but one thing was for sure and it's that we were going to be good friends.We kept smiling sheepishly at one another until Bethany had to clear her throat. It was kind of awkward b
OLIVIA'S POVI made sure that Kay didn't see me. I really wanted to discuss this with someone because that cash was so much and I was sure that it's not just something he got like that. There has to be something behind it but what could it be?.Thoughts ran through my mind thinking of ways to find out what he was up to. I've never seen him with such big cash before and thrills ran down my spine with thoughts of what he might be into.I got home only to meet my mom pacing around the house like something was bothering her. She had a worried look on her face getting me all worried.I wondered where the king was anyways because I haven't even seen a glimpse of him for days now especially after what happened the last time. I'm trying to keep my distance and play safe. My mom's happiness is involved and the last thing I want is to jeopardize that.The way she was walking around, checking her watch multiple times was quite alarming that I needed to know what's going on." Mom," I called walki
OLIVIA'S POVI couldn't believe that alpha Marcus was actually around. He was that type of guy who easily got the ladies flocking round him and also one of the important alphas of the pack. I haven't seen him since the last time I saw him, which was like two years ago.I could tell that another ball was already circulating and that was probably the reason why he was back, especially with the fact that he's a traveler. He's never in the pack as he deals with international affairs." You all have to be on your best behavior," mom said, as her eyes were plastered on me and the boys.I couldn't really blame her anyways especially with the fact that we haven't been getting along much but literally it's not my fault and now i've noticed that they've reduced their bullying a little." So, what's the occasion?" Lucas casually asked, while stuffing his face with food. I didn't see the need for a ball anyway, especially regarding the fact that there's no special occasion and the king is literal
OLIVIA'S POVI didn't know why my heart was feeling this way especially with the fact that I thought that I was finally over this crush. It was just like a young student crushing on her master and it's been years since I've last seen him." Wow, you're so hot now Olivia," he squealed in so much delight and pulled me into a hug. I didn't hug him back because I was still trying to recover from the shock.I thought mom said that he wasn't coming until a week's time so why is he here and what is he even looking for here for heaven sake. I looked around while he was waiting for me to talk." Aren't you supposed to hug or even say something nice to me?" He said. I immediately got out of my thoughts knowing that it was a ride for me to just stay quiet making me think that I'm ignoring him." Alpha Marcus, please pardon my manners," I apologized. " It's so very nice to see you again, it's been so many years."I was starting to recover and shrug off all of those former thoughts in me because
OLIVIA'S POV" So they want you guys to actually work together to convince their father that you two get along so their power won't be taken away from them?" Bethany asked and I nodded in response." So technically they're just using you?" She asked and I also nodded in response. " You're not offended by that ?" She added.I thought about what she said for a while but then I realized that I was actually not offended at all rather I was kind of pleased. It was like a way to get them off my back." Hey girl," someone tapped me from behind. I turned to see that it was Kay." Kay!" I yelled in so much joy and pulled him into a hug. " Where have you been all this while? It's like you suddenly disappeared."He let out an awkward laughter making me get suspicious for once and looking at him wondering if something was wrong." I was only gone for two days and it's because of a family emergency I had to attend too," he explained.I simply nodded in response, agreeing to what he just said. I kn
OLIVIA'S POVThe way Kay asked me out to prom was the talk of the school. Everyone was talking about it and it sought to make me feel special. I never imagined that he had such intentions. No wonder he kept bombarding me with questions.A smile plastered on my face as I walked to my room. I couldn't believe that someone actually liked me and it even became the talk of the school. We were like the next ' it ' couple. I didn't know if I wanted to move any further from being friends because I liked when we were just friends. I wouldn't want to lose his friendship for anything even if it's just for us dating.I didn't know whether or not I liked him and even now I was still confused about it. I didn't know what to choose yet but decided to just shrug off the thoughts since I had nothing more in my mind and decided that I was just going to enjoy my prom.It was my first senior year prom and of course, I was over the moon excited about it. A smoke crept on my face the more I thought about
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
