OLIVIA'S POVI couldn't believe it. We won the best couple of the year and were even taken up the stage to collect the award and also the crown. This was something that I never for once imagined that I would win, especially not with one of my stepbrothers.He had a normal expression on his face which made it hard to detect who he was. I couldn't see him but I could just imagine that he was looking at everyone dryly right now.While we sat down on the chair, I tried talking to him multiple times but the asshole wouldn't even say a word. He didn't even look at me to hear what I was saying, rather he would just sit there quietly and whenever I urged him to talk he would look away.That was the best way to confirm that it was not Okay because I knew that Kay would never ignore me like this but it didn't stop me from being worried about him. I didn't know why he didn't show up. I was also worried that something happened to him or he might suddenly show up.I brought out my phone again to s
OLIVIA'S POV I was rather stunned as I stared at him in complete horror. I didn't know what to think and what to conclude this time around. This was like my worst nightmare come through and it didn't help matters at all. I stared blankly at him as he looked at me, wondering what was wrong with me. If only he knew the reason for my face being like that then he would be awkward right now. " Are you okay?" He asked, snapping me right back into reality. It took me a little while to be able to get a hold of myself, especially with the way he was looking at me. I felt this kind of sudden strangeness suddenly relished into my body and rather it only intensified with his gaze that was plastered on me making me feel like I've been trapped. " You know that we have a lot of work to do so you had better stop whatever drama you're about to start now and let's go," he urged. He was about to walk away but I got a hold of his hand, making him turn his attention back to me. He immediately flung h
OLIVIA'S POVThey started talking, discussing how we're going to walk out our plan. I didn't even feel for once like I was a part of them because they always did their best not to make me talk.Everytime I tried talking, they would find a way to shun me which was rather very annoying. They didn't even give me a chance to talk or say anything. I had so many ideas for but rather they were quick to make me shut up." Um…I have a way we can tackle that?" I pitched in,but they didn't bother paying attention to me and just continued what they were talking about." How about we jot down how we're going to go there but without any security or they getting to know that we're from the pack how?" Luca was quick to shut me up.I was annoyed and didn't feel needed. They planned everything together so my opinion wasn't even needed in any of this. I couldn't even see the reason why they called me here anyways.It was rather like they only needed me for show and to make themselves look good. They w
OLIVIA'S POV I stared at him in complete horror after this discovery was made. I was now more confused because Lucien wore that exact same earring and now he's wearing it?This was just making me more and more confused because now I can't understand things anymore and just what this means. He didn't care but just grabbed my hands and led me back to the game room.I didn't even know when we got there until Lucas spoke up." Where's my snack?" He asked.That was like pushing me down a cliff and taking a trip back into reality. I blinked at reality. I was trying to process all that he asked but he looked at me with a curious filled face instead.I didn't even know what he was talking about until Lucas used his hands to help me figure out that they were actually talking about something." What did you say?" I asked again.He groaned out of frustration then Lucas threw the paper. I had totally forgotten about that and it wasn't as if I was expecting them to find it anyways, I didn't even
OLIVIA'S POVI woke up after hearing such a loud bang. It was so loud that I almost fell down from the bed thinking that it was a bomb. I didn't know what could cause a sound like that but I definitely knew that it was not from the kitchen.I was curious to know more about what was happening, I saw guards running up and down the house. They were trying to get everyone to safety because it appeared that we may be under attack.My heart kept racing, I didn't know what to do but I was sure that I couldn't stay here..I brought out my phone and immediately called Lucas, I wanted to know if perhaps he was awake and we could go and join them.I called him about three times but the annoying asshole didn't even bother picking the call. He was the most annoying being I've ever met and he was driving me nuts.I decided to call Luca instead. Since there were three of them I might as well try my luck with all three of them rather than staying here and hoping that he would call back with all this t
OLIVIA'S POVThe door snapped opened revealing Lucas and luca. I immediately got out of my awkward position with Lucien, this was definitely embarrassing and they looked at us with so much awkwardness. I could tell that they already caught us and there was no need disguising it. But things didn't make matters any better because my cheeks immediately filled up. Lucas cleared his throat, trying to get rid of the very awkward atmosphere.Even I couldn't deny that it felt really awkward for me infact I couldn't look up at them and it didn't make matters any better because my cheeks were all heated up, adding to the embarrassment I felt.They came closer to us and I immediately moved away from Lucien to avoid any mishaps. The room was very quiet which was quite odd because like a minute ago there was lots of panicking and running around and now there was nothing but silence." Umm…how did it go?" I asked, trying to get rid of tye quiet atmosphere." We couldn't find them," Lucas replied,
OLIVIA'S POV" What? They didn't involve you?" Bethsnh yelled as I told her everything about my ordeal. I nodded in response to her. She opened her mouth wide in agape because even I couldn't believe that they would do that.It's absolutely bizarre to think of but it was also more devastating because I knew that they didn't like me but I never for once thought that they would go this far to exclude me out of everything that they did.I was trying to be angry at them but I didn't know why I just couldn't be mad at them. It was the stupid mate bond that was keeping me captive from disliking those mother fuckers no matter how much I tried.My head was spinning right now and I've never been more disgraced in my life. I hated the fact that they also had that ideology just when I thought that they were more modern." So what are you going to do now? Stay out of their business?" She asked.I just looked at her and burst into a fit of laughter. I couldn't believe that she would literally sugg
MARCUS POVA knock appeared on my door as I turned to go answer the door. I cursed at my luck as I was just about to go take a bath and now I had to deal with this one too. It was undeniably frustrating but it was something that I was used too.The knock became rather persistent that I had no choice but to leave what I was doing earlier and go attend to the person at the door. I opened the door only to see Gerald– He was my mist trusted guard especially when I moved here.I was confused because I knew that I certainly did not call for him, talkless of asking for his presence." Alpha Marcus," he greeted, with a slight bow showing me respect." You may rise," I urged him. He nodded in response and raised his head up to look at me.There was an indistinct silence between us which was odd because he was supposed to speak up rather than staying quiet." What do you want?" I finally asked, breaking the silence that was rather turning really awkward between us ." Your presence has been req
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
