Gia striped her eyes away from Olive whom she was beginning to despise more than she imagined. She had come to see if the Alpha was in the Circular Cabinet with his men and sisters, but she couldn't smell him at all. She rolled her eyes and walked in fully with elegance and poise.
She had come to the office and just couldn't concentrate. She wanted to see her Alpha q. The Alpha that she would soon become his Luna. Of course, only she could match his magnanimous position. She was the most presentable woman he could ever desire to stand by him. Not this…
“Olive, right?” she directed at Olive who was holding a pizza in her hand.
“Yes. Do I know you?” Olive innocently asked but the eyes Gia saw were of pretense. She scoffed and rolled her eyes dramatically.
“I doubt someone like you would know me,” she insulted and Olive bit her lower lip.
“If you're here to bully her, you might as well leave,” tha
Back in the Circular Cabinet. “Hey, are you all right?” Jericho asked and Olive looked up at him.“Yeah, of course.” She cleared her throat and went to sit on the couch, resting her back and closing her eyes.“Don't let her words get to you. She's always like that to everybody,” Terry said nicely. She didn't even realizing he had been sitting on that couch before she sat there. She opened her eyes and smiled sweetly at him.“Trust me, I've dealt with far worse people than her. She's not even half of what Cynthia is,” Olive chuckled softly.“Cynthia really hated you,” Jericho said from behind them. All three of them, that is, Terry, Crusoe and Jericho vividly began to remember how Cynthia whipped her mercilessly. While they looked on and laughed at her. Jericho felt very guilty. He had come to like Olive already, but that image of him being happy at her torture made him guilty.“Who's
The silence in the Circular Cabinet was becoming too deep and eerie for Olive to continue standing sane. All eyes were on her and the way the Alpha stared at her. Had she said something wrong? Did she look too desperate? Was it obvious that she had missed him crazily? Her wolf was killing her and begging to see her mate. She too couldn't help feeling desperate to see him.“Missed me, mate?” his deep baritone voice resounded in her head. She gulped at how sexy his voice was. And that stare…he could as well melt her soul with it as he was melting her body. Dolly chuckled softly and nudged Vanessa who was looking at her with that knowing look girls give girls after their crush enters the room.“I…I didn't…” she trailed off.“Of course she missed you, Wayne. She hid it well but trust me to find out. Your portrait in the Alpha Hall almost faded because she wouldn't stop staring everyday and running her fingers across
Olive blinked her eyes repeatedly before she finally understood what he was talking about. He was actually referring to the time he choked her and she had said he had to earn her forgiveness. Goodness! Even she had forgotten that.“Let's have something stronger,” he said to her as he pulled out a bottle of Devil Springs Vodka. Her eyes flung open as he quickly opened it and was about to pour it in his glass first. He was going to mix it with the cocktail.But despite that, that liquor was dangerous. It always did her dirty. When she first had it, she felt like a puppet in its hands.She literally flung herself on a senator of the country who she was supposed to accompany with the order of The Vrek Cult. She was just one of the bodyguards accompanying him to an underground casino in the country's capital.This senator was not a 'saint'. So yes, he had dealings with the underworld. And
Get a grip, Olive!She blinked repeatedly then shook her head. Yes, she should get used to undressing in front of him. Weren't they mates? The moon goddess didn't matchmake them in order for them to be picking stones, right? They weren't married, but he still had every right to see her naked as was custom binding soul mates.She heaved a deep sigh and totally undressed. She could do this. She was going to seduce him. Wait, what?!“No...No. No seducing,” she muttered very low. She couldn't bring herself to do that even though she was a master at it.Slowly, Olive walked fully naked into the water. Immediately she sat in at the biggest part, she heaved a very deep sigh. The water was so refreshing and she closed her eyes immediately as she relaxed on the raised platform for another jacuzzi tub behind her. The water was quite deep, and was dancing over her breasts. It's color was
Olive was more than scared to walk through the door and complete her mission. She had already come so far, why back down now? She belonged to a cult… Or rather, she was forcefully held in a cult where she could not do otherwise. She had to obey the laws or she'd be punished… slowly and painfully. She had escaped from kidnappers at the age of 14, and ran to a man to help hide her. He actually did hide her, but he never let her out again. She was abused by him, sexually and physically. He made her succumb to joining a cult after much beatings. The beatings later stopped, but she turned into something else. She was nothing but a vessel, an object to the cult. She had slept with men for them, maimed people, and killed a few too. The life Olive lived was terrible, but she had no choice. She was bound to the cult until she found her mate. Her ultimate wish was to find that special one who would free her from the cult automatically, and make her life return to normal. She had seen how som
It felt like a thousand bags of cement were tied around Olive's body when she woke up. She couldn't even move her neck to look around because it felt so heavy and painful. She however knew she wasn't outside anymore. She was still on the bare floor, but under a roof. Olive didn't stay for long before someone realized she was awake. Maybe they all came to check up on her turn by turn.“She's awake,” a man announced. Fear skittered through her heart. She was going to face another torture again. Two strong arms pulled her up and she cried in pain. Her injuries hadn't healed at all despite the healing ability of the body of wolf shifters. Dry and fresh blood were still all over her but her hair and clothes were already dry. She was dragged into a room and pushed to the floor roughly. She screamed and hugged the floor while crying. Oh, her life would have been roses if she had found her parents instead of running into the arms of a strange man who turned her life into a living hell. She
Olive's eyes widened in shock. Wayne Knight… her mate? Was that even possible? She laughed at her stupidity. Yes, she was stupid enough to think that. She knew that it was just her mind playing with her and giving her what she desired. She desired a mate, and her mind was toying with her. Wayne was Cynthia's mate. That explained why she was with them in the first place, because she couldn't work against the cult unless she was mated.Olive shoved the thought of Wayne being her mate back inside. She growled at her wolf to sit still and stop miscalculating things. Though this was the very first time her wolf had acted this way with someone, she still didn't want to believe her. The Big Bad Alpha couldn't be her mate. And even though he was, she was sure to be rejected by him. That angry look he was giving her few seconds ago explained that he was not going to show her any mercy. She closed her eyes on the floor there and slept off.***Alpha Wayne Knight was beyond angry when he saw Ol
Olive screamed as she met eyes with Wayne. She was surprised to see him when she had thought she was dead. Didn't he kill her earlier? Or did she have a bad dream? She shifted in the bed and tried to sit up but felt her arms brushing against the sides of her breasts. It was skin against skin. She looked down through the blanket and her eyes turned into that of an owl again. She was naked! She clutched the blanket against her chest and sat up, moving as far away from the edge of the bed as possible.Her injuries were still fresh, but not bloody flesh. She seemed to be healing.“What—what am I still doing here?” she asked with her face flustered.“Where were you supposed to be?” Wayne asked with no emotions in his voice. He looked angry and murderous as he stared at her. And Olive—she was scared to death. Her heart began to beat loudly.“I thought I was…I thought you would…I—”“Enough of the I's,” Wayne barked and walked fully inside the room. He dumped the bags on the bed and walked
