Olivia’s POVSince Lucien was gone now I had nothing to do here so I decided to retire to my room.I walked out through the halls and was about to climb up the stairs when I heard a familiar husk tone call out to me.“Olivia.” The voice called out again and I was ascertained that I wasn’t hallucinating.I knew I wasn’t the first time but I didn’t think the owner of the voice would call me for anything.I tuned hesitantly and walked over to the dining hall where the Lycan king was sitting.He seemed to be quite busy going through some papers which were scattered around the table.I didn’t know why he called me when he knew he was busy with something like this, for some reason my heart started pounding hard. Why would the king call me? We’ve never really had a one-on-one conversation before and this was the first time.“Sit down.” He ordered firmly. Without any hesitation, I sat down immediately.He didn’t set his eyes on me for minutes as he continued arranging the papers in front of h
Olivia POVI woke you the next morning so comfortable on my bed. I wondered how I got here because the last thing I recollect was resting on my dad’s shoulders.I probably fell asleep there as they brought me up here, I couldn’t remember but I knew I slept well. It’s been so long since I slept without a single worry in the world.I hurriedly got out of bed because I was eager to know how the patrol went with Lucien, he must be so tired right now.I rushed into the bathroom and rushed out getting myself into some comfortable clothes who were hurrying downstairs.I ran like I was being chased through the stairs and finally arrived at the large living room.I was surprised to see Lucien, Lucas, and Lucar sleeping on the couches looking so tired.It must have been so tiring having to stand guard throughout the whole day. I felt I had a part to play as I could see the place gesture on Lucien’s face even in his sleep.Maybe Dad was right, they weren’t that bad and I was willing to let thing
Olivia’s POVI looked around and there was nothing I was going to use to defend myself. I felt so helpless and mom and dad weren’t home either.Kay was literally running mad and I knew he was going to take it out on me.“Do you love me Olivia?”“No I don’t Kay and I never will, you’re a monster and I don’t want you in my life again. Deal with it.” I spat at him.“You did not just say that.”“Arrgh.” I yelled stumping on his feet and finally broke loose from his tight grip.“You’re not okay.” I yelled.“That’s not for you to say, you’re nothing but an entitled brat.”“That’s not true; it’s not okay to make me seem like the bad guy for every thing that happened in your life. It’s not my fault you did what you did and also not my fault your mom died. It’s sad and all but you’re not allowed to blame me for that.” I retorted.“It’s all your fault; if you..”“There’s no way I would have known, just leave already Kay. So you won’t end up doing something you’ll regret.”“Stop it already.” I
Olivia’s POV“I sent them off, I initially wanted to make breakfast for the whole family.” I said in a dejected tone. Thanks to Kay he ruined my plans with his issues.“Oh before the whole thing happened. Okay you can still cook.” He said with a bright smile present on his face.“Olivia are you okay baby?” My mom asked as she rushed towards me holding my hands gently as he pulled me into a warm embrace.“I’m fine mom, Lucien was there to intervene.” I replied pulling myself from the tight hug.“Are you okay Olivia ?” The king asked, standing at the entrance of the door and it was obvious he didn’t want to come in.“Yes I’m fine, my brothers saved me.” I said with so much happiness evident in my voice. That felt so nice to say.“It was nothing, it’s all under control now so there’s nothing for the both of you to worry about.” Lucien said as Lucar and Lucas arrived behind the king.“Thank you for taking care of your sister, I’m very proud of such a step you all took.” The king said wit
Marcus’s POV“Do you think this is going to work?” I asked Lisa, staring directly into her eyes.I found so much comfort in her eyes which seemed to beam each time I searched into them.“Of course, it’s going to work, it sounds quite impossible but I know you want nothing but the best for your people. You’re a good king.” She said gently rubbing my cheeks which made me relaxed.“I want to tell you something, something you might not know, which is the real reason why I am very persistent concerning rogues,” I said walking over to our garden and she followed right behind me.“Sit down,” I ordered calmly as she sat down beside me.“Is there any problem?” She inquired wondering why I was so bothered.If only she knew the type of problems the rogues brought into my life.“What I’m about to tell you now is something I’ve never shared with anyone except the ones who witnessed it but you’re expected to know,” I said calmly and stared into her face to see her expression before I continued talk
Marcus’s POV*Flashback*“Honey what going on?” Elina asked rushing to me as soon as she heard the commotion outside.“It’s nothing my dear, it’s just Lucien being stupid, it’s all under control now.” I said assuring her letting a light pat on her forehead.My love increased for her ever since she gave me three sons all at once, I always since she would bring me good virtue ever since our alignment was made. Now not only did she give me a Hier, she gave me three:“Lucien? What happened to him? Where is he now? You know I don’t like it whenever you have issues with Lucien, he seems dangerous and I don’t want you guys going against each other.” She said in a worried tone as I led her to the dining room.“ Calm down Elina, you don’t have anything to worry about concerning Lucien, he’s just very incontent with his position in life. Lucien had always been a wolf in sheep clothing and today he said all he felt.” I said making a slight pause because the details weren’t necessary.All that ma
Marcus's POVLucien will pay for making Elina walk out on me in that manner. I don't know what she sees in him and thinks he's not.I've known Lucien all my life and enough to say he is not what I think he is. He is dangerous and he is greedy and I know he is willing to do anything to make sure he rules.Why does he find it so hard to understand that it would never happen, that's how destiny works and if he can't live with it then i would teach him how to."Micheal," I called one of my guards,my most trusted one, in a sense that if it wasn't Lucien, it definitely would have been him."My Lord." He walked over to me as soon as he called me."Where is Lucien?" I inquired."A guard saw him talking to Master Damon at the courtyard, they were very discreet so we couldn't hear anything." Micheal declared.I knew it!Lucien was so predictable and I know he would do anything just to prove to me that he wasn't carrying out an empty threat. And the only way he could do that was forming an allia
Marcus’s POV**Back to the present.*“So the retaliation of Lucien led to the death of Elina: he had her killed mercilessly. He partnered up with the rogues that day through Damon and by the time we found Elina; she was fighting for her life. I watched her on her sick bed and there was nothing I could do to save her. She begged me on her deathbed to make sure I took good care of her boys. “ I finally explained the whole thing as tears gathered up in the corner of my eyes.I knew I didn’t need the tears again because I've been so far with the boys and I know she would be so proud wherever she might be.“Marcus dear, I have no idea you were going through anything of such, it’s not your fault any of that happened: you were the King and you acted like one. There’s nothing to blame yourself for.” She said rubbing my back gently which had a way of comforting me.I felt so safe around because I never told anyone this side of the story because of the guilt that gripped me.“It’s my fault she
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
