When Olive returned few minutes later from the bathroom, she found hot towels in a flask and two shopping bags on the bed. She immediately took the hot towel and placed it around her neck. She winced at first but it was later soothing so she let it stay there. She checked the contents of the bags and found out they were new clothes.
“Why does he keep buying new clothes? How about the ones he bought for me the other day? Where are they even?” she asked no one in particular.
Olive found a short black dress and loved it immediately. She straightened it on the bed and decided to wear it. She did and it looked splendid on her. It had a round neck, and was printed from the waist to her knees. Little shiny stones were studded around the chest area and they glittered as she moved her body. She walked to the mirror and finger-combed her hair. There was nothing to use to style it, so she just let it fall beautifully on her. Besides, she had a silky, not too stubborn
Their eyes met and he didn't look away. He didn't want to.“Why did you bring her out?” he asked while looking at her.“She was on her way out already when I met her.”“And where did you meet her?” his eyes moved to Jericho's.“Your lobby.”“And what took you to his quarters?” Jake asked from the bar. Jericho scratched the back of his head.“I was going to check up on her,” he answered.Wayne looked enraged.“You left here to go check up on her without my permission? Who even asked you to check up on her?!”Olive's two arms wrapped around Jericho's arm in fear and she closed her eyes tight. Dolly frowned and stood in between them and Wayne who had surprisingly walked closer.“Hey, young man! Lower your tone or I'll cut that tongue of yours. You're scaring your mate. No wonder she tried to escape. You're finally given a perfec
“Who wants to see me? Olive?” he asked, his eyes still red.“Yes, Olive. She's in Dolly's room,” Jake answered. Wayne exhaled and ran his fingers through his hair again.“She... She hates me, ” he muttered and began to walk in circles, with his fists balled tight.“No, she doesn't. You're her f\*cking mate, Wayne! She's attracted to you so just return that attraction. What's stopping you?”“I don't know, Jake! It's just hard.”Jake sighed and telepathically informed Dolly that he was bringing Wayne to see Olive. Dolly approved.“Come on, let's go see your mate,” Jake said and began to walk away with Crusoe.“Wait, I'll go alone,” Wayne objected and walked into the elevator alone. It closed and few minutes later, he walked into the hallway which contained his sisters' rooms. He knocked lightly on Dolly's.“Come in,” Dolly's voice answ
“I need new clothes, Alpha. Things suitable for strolling outside,” Olive's voice reverberated in his head.“Jackets, I suppose. Boots and Jean pants. I had lots of them back at the cult,” she added while staring into space with a weird smile on her face.“What's with the awkward smile?”“It feels like a dream. That I can wake up in another house not belonging to The Vrek Cult, and not worry about going back,” she answered and looked at her cold pizza.She smiled, lifted it up to her lips again and took a very big bite. She munched happily and nodded her head rhythmically as if she had earphones plugged in.Wayne watched her in amusement. How could she be carefree and innocent looking one moment, and the next she turns into a guilty faced and nervous female then back to looking carefree.He placed another pizza slice on her plate from the box and got on his feet.“Sleep now since w
“You look good,” she breathed out. His tensed up cheek muscles flicked and a smirk appeared on his face.“Is there a time I look awful?” he teased her.“Thanks for the compliment though,” he added as he continued to smirk at her.She gulped and turned around to walk towards the bathroom. She successfully made it to the door, but something told her he was still staring at her. She wanted to look back so badly, but she managed to open the door and enter. She heaved a deep sigh, expecting to feel relief that she was no longer under his gaze.But instead, her nostrils inhaled his rainy smell and it messed with her senses. She suddenly wanted to turn back, run to him and sniff his hair. She balled her fists in an attempt to refrain herself from moving. Thankfully, it worked. She stripped, entered under the shower that reeked of him and manage to shower with closed eyes. When she was done, she wore a bathrobe and stepped out
Olive knew by the look of Gia, that she was no ordinary lady. She was dressed formally, with her designer suit that was instead a short gown. The ladies behind her were fierce, wearing red leather jackets and pants. They looked like her bodyguards.She knew Balendin was a state on its own, so they were many officials. She must be one of them.“That lady. Who was she?” Olive asked as they approached a black Rolls Royce Phantom. She looked at Wayne's stern face and waited for an answer. He didn't seem to want to answer.Olive tugged on his jacket because she suspected there was something fishy. The way Gia looked at him, and at her. There were two very different looks. And the look she had got was scrutinizing.“Alpha,” Olive called and stood still in front of the car. He walked past her and opened the door.“Get in,” he said curtly.She puffed and walked to his front, entered the car without sparing him a g
Olive's mouth fell open as she heard those words from him. He had looked and sounded serious. He even promised!“Alpha, you do realize this is your first promise to me. Don't you?” she asked. She honestly wanted him to take back his words. A promise was not easily broken by their kind, and she didn't want him to be burdened by it. The fight against The Vrek Cult and everyone who hurt her was her battle alone. She didn't want anyone to be involved blindly.“I know. And it's a promise I intend to keep,” Wayne replied firmly. She opened her mouth to say something again, but his face was too firm. She couldn't say anything more.“They ruined your childhood. I won't let them go free,” he spat.“But why? This isn't your fight. It's mine. I'm the one seeking revenge against them. Why did you have to promise?” Olive asked desperately.Wayne smirked sarcastically and it faded few seconds later.“Because I hate it when people toy with what's mine. Let alone ruin it completely. You're mine. My m
Alpha Knight was waiting patiently for her, his arms still crossed. She bit her lower lip and crouched down again to fully remove her socks. She laid them gently on the jacket she had tossed to the ground earlier. Then she straightened up and held her t-shirt to pull it off.“Turn around,” she told him.He cocked his head sideways and raised his brow at her.“Why?” he asked.Well, she was his mate. But still, she didn't want to undress in front of him already. It was just a few days she knew who he was to her. She wasn't that cheap!Her wolf literally rolled her eyes. Olive who used to sleep with strange men for The Vrek Cult?Alpha Knight chuckled as he saw her hesitation. He turned around and she hurriedly removed her shirt, exposing her black lacy bra cupping her womanly moulds.“Don't turn until I'm in the water,” she ordered.“Aye aye, mate,” the amused Wayne replied. Yes, he was amused. A minute ago she was lusting over his body and now she was extremely shy of him. Women would
“What? No, I shouldn't. You're the Alpha here. I can't disrespect you like that,” Olive counteracted and looked away.“Does Dolly call me Alpha?” Wayne asked.“She's your sister. And also an Alpha female in this pack. What am I?” she asked casually and shrugged.“My mate. And future Luna,” he answered her casual question.She froze and stared at him.“Future…Luna?” she asked unbelievably.“What? Don't tell me you didn't know you were going to be my Luna.”“I…I didn't think you'd…you'd accept me. I tried to kill you, remember?”“And I tried to kill you too, remember?”How could she not remember? The whips from Cynthia, the mockery from his men. The fear when he was approaching her. That was one of the worst fears of her life.“Besides, do you think I would have met my mate if she didn't try to assassinate me?” he asked and Olive gulped.That was quite meaningful. She had fought against the order that she would be the one to kill him. She had regretted going on the mission even after sh
