OLIVIA'S POV"What is taking you so–"Ria was cut off short once she met me and hugged me. After noticing her presence, we immediately disassembled and went back to standing firmly. She had a cheeky smile on her face that made me want to die out of embarrassment.She had got to be kidding me with that smile and it made me so embarrassed that she was looking at me that way because she shouldn't be doing that." It's not what you think," I tried clarifying but it didn't help as she still has that annoying smirk on her face." And what is it that I'm thinking? I think you're the one thinking something else, he's your brother after all, there's nothing wrong."I looked at her, knowing that she had a point and shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that. It was so embarrassing that to hide it, I started laughing like a Maniac. It was so stupid and they both looked at me like I was a weirdo." Silly me," I said and tried to control my laughter but nothing worked. I kept on laughing like
OLIVIA'S POVThe voice that I heard kept sending thrills down my spine. It was an unfamiliar voice and I couldn't help but feel chills run down whenever I tried reminiscing over it. It was just so creepy. I was usually all chit-chatty with Ria but this time around I was rather quiet and she was quick to notice that something was wrong with me." Are you okay?" She asked, massaging my palms softly.I looked up at her and just smiled, trying to hide the fact that I was feeling rather very nervous. I didn't want to make it obvious because of how surreal that incident felt." You've been acting weird since we got out of the mall," she claimed.I wanted to tell her about my experience and what I had heard back at the mall but held myself back. I didn't want her to think that I was some kind of psycho and just scare her off. It was too much of a risk for me to bear." Are you sure you're okay?" She asked again and I nodded in response, even though I knew deep down I wasn't too fine. I just
OLIVIA'S POV The weekend flew by so very quickly and within just a few minutes, we were back in school. I didn't see Lucien all weekend and it was as if he was starting to snub me. It was making me feel somehow because I was already getting used to him talking to me and him just snubbing me was making things hard for me.I walked over to the counter in the cafeteria to buy myself lunch and then someone came in, intruding on me and coming to the front. It was infuriating especially with the fact that there were lots of people already waiting here.I wasn't going to calm down since it was my turn next and there were a lot of other people that had been waiting earlier on so there was no freaking way that I would ever be chill with it." What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I turned the person around only to find out that it was Luca.I didn't even know why I was so surprised, especially regarding the fact that this was their usual behavior so technically it was nothing to be all wo
OLIVIA'S POVA knock appeared on my door and I rolled my eyes as I wasn't expecting to see anyone at my door. I answered it only to see Luca standing there, looking at me with a rather cute smile on his face. It was weird because his dimple kept trying to play that trick with my heart again.It took less than a minute for me to snap out of it and come to the realization that he bullied me right in front of everyone. I snapped out of it and tried acting as cold as I could Infront of him, not letting him intimidate me." What do you want?" I asked, trying to sound pissed.He tried entering my room but I was quick to block him with my leg. He looked over at me with a very sad expression on his face but I couldn't care less about what he was feeling right now because I was more than annoyed with him." Ju
OLIVIA'S POVI stormed off to mom's room, burning with so much fury. I was more than pissed and disappointment. They were just going to go ahead and keep doing things behind my back. If she thinks that I was going to take it then she's wrong because I'm not going to give a bullshit about it.She was in her room as a massage bed was laid right there and there were some masseurs massaging her. She was getting on my nerves and here I was panicking while she gets to have the time of her life and enjoy massage's?I was raging with anger here and she was just laying on her back and getting her body all relaxed while mine was completely worked up." Mom," I yelled.The masseurs turned around to look at me, completely taken aback by my out burst. Mom looked at me then back at the bed. She wasn't even giving me attention and it was driving me crazy." Why are you doing this?" I wanted to know.She didn't even bother answering me and her silence was doing nothing more than driving me to the ed
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
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
