Olive tried as hard as she could to think back into time but the name Jonathan did not ring a bell in her mind. She didn't remember all the names of the people she was sent to harm but, at least something should be able to ring a bell.“Was he from Balendin Pack?” she asked after about two minutes of racking her brain. Next, she heard the lock of the door turning so she stood upright and faced it. The door swung open slowly to reveal a swollen, red eyed Dolly. Her face was wet but still red despite her just washing it in the bathroom.“Dolly,” Olive called in both relief and sympathy as she ran and embraced her. Dolly didn't hug her back but leaned onto her for support. She was really weak. Olive patted her back for several seconds until Dolly stood upright.“Come, let's sit,” Olive whispered and held her hand. She pulled her along gently and they sat on the sofa opposite the television. Dolly's room was really big and was the combination of a living room and a bedroom. Her queen size
Dolly couldn't take in what Olive was saying. She was filled with disbelief, confusion and shock.“How? How are you sure? What if it's not...what if it's not this particular person. There could be a lookalike or something,” she argued but Olive shook her head.“This is him. I'm certain. This smirk. It is way too familiar,” Olive stated and brought up the photo to her face. She was looking for something and hoped to find it. But it wasn't in the picture. It was well covered by his sweatshirt.“Do you happen to have another picture of him? Especially one with a different outfit?” she asked Dolly who nodded.“My computer,” she answered and pointed to the bed where her laptop was lying close to her pillow. Both Dolly and Olive got up and walked to the bed. They sat down side by side at the edge of it and Dolly turned on the computer. She went into a secret folder and imputed a password before it opened up. It was filled with hers and Jonathan's pictures and videos.“I haven't been able to
“Shem!” all the men yelled, including Ami who had been standing at one side all the while. They all began to laugh because, even though what he said seemed rude, it was funny coming from Shem.Mufasa shook his head and began to walk towards one of his shelves again.“Knights, fire just runs in your blood, doesn't it? Hot blooded creatures,” he complained.“What's happening here?” Olive asked with confusion written all over her face. She was darting her eyes over everyone in the hall, excluding Wayne who was sitting a bit far from the rest.“This is happening,” Jericho answered and pointed at the ice which was in the shape of the water pot.“What...is...that?” Dolly asked as she peered her eyes at it and took slow steps towards it. Terry looked at her and smiled to himself. Then he looked at Olive like she was some goddess for being able to bring Dolly out from her room. He had tried for hours and failed hands down.“Some new creation by our Alpha here,” Mufasa answered as he was scrib
They stared at each other for two seconds before Wayne's deep baritone voice resounded in the dungeon.“Come here,” he said to her. She felt chills running down her spine and she gulped. She glanced at everyone in the room and they all seemed to be waiting for her to obey her mate's command. She pinned her lips together and looked back at Wayne who was leaning in his signature position; him sitting in a slanted way, with his head titled to the side and his knuckles supporting the side of his face.Olive overlooked all the faces in the room which were staged on her and she began to walk towards her mate. She reached him and he held out his hand for her to hold. Taking her slender fingers in his, he pulled her gently and she sat on his laps.“Wayne, what is...” she trailed off when she saw his face coming towards hers. Slowly and smoothly, the Big Bad Alpha placed his lips on hers and drew her closer to himself. There was an eruption of shouts behind them as his men made sounds of excit
It was already very late into the night but Wayne had not had any dinner so Olive decided to eat light with him. They were seated casually at their dining table, taunting each other and having snacks.Wayne suddenly said he loved her but Olive turned her head and stared at him like she didn't hear what he said.“I said I love you,” he repeated and she chuckled.“Guess who's equally in love with you?” she asked and he cracked a chuckle too.“Yeah, I know I'm totally lovable now. What else do you women want in a man?” he asked in return with a smirk as he took his coffee mug to his lips.“What are you trying to say here, mister?”He didn't answer and took a cracker instead.“You are sooo not lovable, you idiot. I would have ran for my life if you weren't my mate,” she added and he laughed out.“Weren't you the one who said you would still love me even if I wasn't your mate? Wasn't that just hours ago?” he questioned and she pouted angrily.“Today must be a long day. That felt like days
Cynthia had been called to the Grand Chamber at midnight and she was standing in front of the grand doors at the moment. Her heart was dancing erratically in her chest, but it wasn't a dance of pleasure. This was fear. Immeasurable fear.Why was she called upon? And that too, in the middle of the night? What was this?She took a deep breath and signaled for the guards to open the doors. They did and she stepped inside.As usual, the hall was darkened with only a few torches burning. The Grand Master stood below the raised platform with his hands behind his back. Cynthia wondered why he stood below his stage, and also close to the wall like he was a servant.“Master,” she acknowledged and bowed her knee.“No. Not tonight,” the Master whose hand was outstretched to stop her from acknowledging him stated. He glanced at the entrance by the platform and looked back at Cynthia. Then he placed his hands behind his back again.“Bow, Cynthia,” he ordered and she bowed totally on the floor, fac
Wayne sighed for the umpteenth time as he watched Olive giggling and taking the thousandth picture of the day. Maybe he should not have gotten her the most expensive and luxurious phone created by his pack. The B-Cell was a sign of riches and people, especially those in other packs held it in high esteem. He thought to gift it to his mate since she was without a mobile and couldn't communicate with any of them yet.If only he knew she would just take a thousand selfies instead, maybe he would have postponed it.“What do you think about this one? Is it pretty?” she asked and shoved the phone into his face so he could look at the picture she just took at the terrace.“Olive, you're highly photogenic. All your pictures would be fine even if they're blurry,” he stated with so much tiredness laden in his voice.“Yeah, of course. That's why I'm going to take as many pictures as I can. Because they're all going to be very pretty,” she said and giggled again. Wayne rubbed his temples and sigh
The silence in the room after the officials shouted their consent to what the Media and Public Relations Minister said was deafening.Alpha Knight was not uttering any word but just peered at the officials with a deep gaze that felt like he was checking their internal organs one by one. They were fazed by that stare, but they remained put because they believed he would listen to their request like he always did before.“You reject my mate as your future Luna?” he asked dangerously with his deep baritone voice vibrating the chairs they were sitting on and the table.They each began to sense that the news they had just given him did not sit well with him. His face had turned deathly and the temperature was dropping. His veins had popped out on his neck and forehead and...was that a gold tint in his eyes?“Yes...yes, Alpha,” the Minister tried to affirm in a brave tone. Alpha Knight's men which were behind him were giving him glares and deep stares that could make him pee in his pants. H
