Chapter- Olivia.I woke up to the thundering sounds of iron clashing which went directly to my ears.I finally opened my eyes and looked around to see what was going on.I rushed immediately to my Verenda and I was beyond surprised to see the scene right In Front of me.We were being attacked by rogues.I thought they didn’t come to this part of the Area, I’ve never heard of them not to talk of witnessing this.I quickly spotted Lucas standing directly at the front of the gate preventing anyone from getting in. He looked so serious yet so cold.He kept on slicking through them with a normal expression glued to his face. I wondered what the situation would be like downstairs.I spotted Lucien and Lucar who were fighting hand in hand with the rogues who had gotten into the premises. The guards fought effortlessly protecting the muah gate to the palace.While some guards were with the Pack members leading them to safety. Many of our men were killed but they didn’t relent. They all kept o
Olivia’s POVSoon the heat was too much for the rogues to bear so they ended up retorting. We put out the fire and everyone kept on looking at me with a smile.I felt so good with myself.We all knew they’d be back but for the meantime, everything was going to go back to normal. The guards helped those who were attacked and helped them with aids.Amidst the whole commotion, my mom was rushed to the hospital but the king couldn’t go with her.I planned to go later but right now I wanted to stay back to be sure the situation was good back here.“What do you think you are doing?” I heard Lucas call out behind me.His voice sounded so cold, I flinched.“What do you mean? I saved everyone of course.” I replied bluntly.“You almost got me killed.” He barked at me.“Stop exaggerating, I made sure you got out safe and sound. So what’s the fuss about?” I questioned taking a few steps away from him.His eyes were filled with fury which got me confused as to what exactly was making him angry.“Y
Olivia’s POVI heard a knock on my door and I replied almost immediately like I was anticipating it.A maid peeked her head through the door.“The king called for a meeting and you’re to attend alongside your brothers, your majesty.” She said calmly.“Arrgh, what else is there to say?” I grumbled.“Do you have any idea what the meeting is about?” I asked .“It has something to do with the rogues, and your mother. He got some news from the hospital.” She said softly.“My mom? I said to myself and ran out of the room almost immediately.I got to the dining hall and I was surprised to see everyone was already seated and was waiting for me.I saw my mom seated beside the King and I sighed in relief.“She was okay.” I sighed in relief.I didn’t want her to know I cared about her that much; I was still mad at her for everything, till I got things right, I still wanted her to keep her distance from me. I just didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.“Seat doen olivia we’ve been waiting for
Olivia’s POVLucar charged towards Lucien as soon as the king was out of sight. He seemed very Infuriated as it was the first time I would ever see him retaliate.“Now repeat what you said.” He yelled at Lucas pinning him down to the table with all his might.He seemed so angry as his eye color began to flinch meaning he was fighting his wolf but he seemed to win over his wolf.“Calm down lucar.” Lucien said trying to stop the fight he predicted was soon going to happen.“Don’t tell me to calm down, let this bastard repeat what he said.” He said adding more pressure as Lucas coughed out loud.I never imagined Lucar was this strong as I sat keenly on the dining table and stared at them fight.“You asshole, let me go. If you know you can stand me in a battle then let me go.” Lucas managed to mutter.“Oh yes I can, you are not better than me in any single way. You’re nothing but an arrogant, entitled brat.” Lucar barked and finally left him.Lucas pulled away struggling to breath properl
Olivia’s POVI hesitated if I should go in or not, i didn’t know if I wanted to face her yet or not.I walked into the room without knocking because I knew my mom was going to be awake. The king was busy with the boys and guards likewise the triplets so I knew she would be the only one here.“Olivia? What are you doing here?” She asked sounding so surprised to see me looking for her:Over a month I’ve distanced myself from her and although I felt so bad, I had to finish whatever I had started. I made a promise to myself not to forgive her things fall into place and that’s it.“I just came to ask about your health. I mean you were attacked and I didn’t expect you to be back from the hospital this early.” I muttered.“The king wanted the lock down to start this night for the safety of everyone, plus I’ve gotten the treatment I need already, I just need to heal. “ she said with a smile as she walked up to me with excitement written all over her face.“Where are your brothers?” She inqui
Lucien’s POV“Gather up all the mens i have any announcements to make.” I said calmly, staring at the expanse of guards thinking of how I was going to share the watch.I wanted Lucar and Lucas to be on the same watch date because no one could handle their characters most of the time and we can’t afford any distractions.This wasn’t an idea we brought up, it was directly from the lycan king. It must be duly followed bits by bits else the punishment will be very harsh.“What exactly is your plan?” Lucas asked calmly. This was how his attitude always fluctuated. This was him today acting like he didn't say those things yesterday. I hardly took his words seriously:“Just to share them into even numbers so one team per day and like that like that.” I mumbled.“That won’t work, dad said we should make sure that all the gates to the Pack should be guarded each night, not only the main gate. That way everyone will have to keep on watching day after day. We don’t have too many men enough for s
Olivia’s POV I stared at the whole scene and how Lucien always found a way to bring his brothers back together. I'm beginning to take an interest in him.He was just different from the rest of them and he believed in sorting out problems calmly.I ran out of my Veranda and walked to the garden because I saw him walk towards that area. I just wanted to talk to him, at least to know more about the patrol, or more.At least the operation concerned each and everyone of us because this was our safety here.I strolled as soon as I arrived there so it would be like I was running to meet him, that would seem quite awkward.“Lucien.” I called out as he turned to look at me as I walked into the large expanse. I’ve never been here before. The lighting and the lights used to decorate made the whole place so calm.No wonder he decided to come here rather than go to his room. It was so much better than having any type of company.I’ve neve felt so calm before.“You’re here?” He asked walking close
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
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
