Wayne was getting very crazy about Olive but was putting on a very fake layer of sanity. He was acting sane, hiding the raging monster inside of him. He was scared he would hurt her, hurt his mate. He had his tiny fears, which was why he had been holding back from ‘touching’ her ever since. But Mufasa said it was fine. That he could control it no matter what because he loved his mate.‘Love,’ the word rang in his head. He loved Olive.All of a sudden, he sprang away from her and stood feets away.“Wayne?” Olive called, totally startled by what he just did.“What happened?” she asked. He staggered back and his eyes began to flash between red and gold uncontrollably, the blue pushed back completely.“Wayne!” Olive shouted because he had fallen to the floor, his veins popping out. Wayne was gasping for air as he struggled on the ground.“Baby! Someone help!” Olive shouted louder as she knelt beside him and tried to hold him down. The next second, she was flung away into the air and lande
“I'm sorry. But I already did.”Every eye in that room widened at Olive's words. They were shocked even though they knew the graveness of the matter. If not for Ami, Olive would have been long dead by Wayne's hands. And this wasn't the first time it had happened.“Olive,” Dolly called gently, begging her with her eyes to please reconsider her decision. She had never seen her brother care so much for anybody. She had hope for her brother because of Olive. But if she leaves...Wayne would even become worse.“Please, don't... don't do this to him,” Shem pleaded too. Vanessa was not there because she had gone back while Olive was in that vision.“Olive,” came Jericho's voice. In all this, Wayne just stood like a dry tree. Unmoving and lifeless. His eyes welled up with liquid which didn't fall. But one could tell that what she said had broken him totally. Mufasa was the only one not looking surprised or shocked. He just kept peering at Olive as if he could see her soul and would then glance
Olive tiptoed and held him tight over his shoulders as she savoured the sweet flavor of their mouths entwined. They were kissing so slowly, tasting every corner of each other's mouth. Wayne would slip his tongue in and play with hers and she would in turn moan and grab onto him even tighter.His hands moved along her body slowly, trailing every corner and edge of her. He was so glad he confessed his true feelings for her and that she felt the same way about him. Now, he could be free to feel everything he was feeling before.All those strange lovey actions of his that showed up because of her effect on him. The way he treated her like a princess. He was free to do that now without questioning himself about how weird it was. All because he had fallen in love with her. He loved his mate.“Wayne,” Olive rasped as they stopped kissing to catch their breaths but didn't move an inch away from each other. Their noses were touching and their lips rubbing sli
Mufasa got on his feet and began to walk towards the fireplace which was ten feet away. He put his hand in the pocket of his robe and withdrew it with his fist clenched.“It was seen long back at the time of his birth that he would be mated to a powerful woman who would unlock his greatest potentials and make him utterly invincible,” he stated and threw his hand towards the fire. Seed-like objects were strewn into it and it blazed up more, as if the seeds were fuel.Olive gaped at what Mufasa had said. She looked at Wayne and he looked totally bored. He had heard that countless times since it was first prophecied at his birth. So, he was pretty much accustomed to it. But she...she was hearing this for the very first time. Mated to a powerful woman? Unlock his greatest potentials and make him invincible? Heck! How could that be her?“No one knows what would happen if Wayne becomes invincible or even what sort of strength he would wield. But we a
“What?” came Dolly's voice, broken and crestfallen. Everyone looked at her surprised at the sudden change of mood. She stood on her feet with teary eyes.“You are from The Vrek Cult?” she asked and Olive blinked.“Was from The Vrek Cult,” Wayne corrected with a firm tone, showing her she didn't have the right to judge his mate because of her past. Dolly's eyes turned to Wayne and they glared angrily at him. Her eyes were moist and red by now.“Wayne, you know what they did. You know what her people did,” she pointed at Olive who sat down looking so confused. What did The Vrek Cult do this time? Because they did a lot of things.“Dolly, calm down,” Jake said calmly but she glared dangerously at him and he sat still.“Olive, were you among them?” she asked.“Among whom?”“Were you part of the people who murdered him in cold blood?!”Wayne stood up and faced his sister, his eyes having a ring of gold in them.“Dolly, enough!” he thundered and Dolly shuddered. She hugged her arms and bega
Olive stood by the terrace and watched the castle's premises from up there. A gentle breeze was blowing and her hair was being tossed around slowly. At certain intervals, she would take deep breaths and gulp down. She had no idea that Wayne had been watching her for up to ten minutes already. After deciphering what exactly was going on with his mate, he gently walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist then placed his chin on her shoulder. She flinched at his sudden contact with her.“Wayne,” she called and breathed in.“What's going on with you?” he asked in a deep whisper. She exhaled and relaxed into his embrace.“It's nothing,” she lied and smiled as she held his hands that were wrapped around her. She felt secure in his arms.“You know I know you're lying, right?” Wayne asked rhetorically and Olive laughed. Yes, she knew he knew.“I wanted to ask you something. How do you detect lies?”“It's a secret. One which I'm not going to tell you until you tell me what is going
But why would he say such a thing in the first place? Thank God she slapped him, he came back to his damn senses already. So he wanted to let Olive live the life she wanted...and with another man? Heck! No one was permitted to make her happy except him. Just him. He would be the one to make her fantasies come true.Before he could try to calm her down, he saw her break down and go on her knees—crying.“Olive,” he called in surprise and ran to her.“Baby,” he called again as he held her arms.“Don't let me go. Don't leave me,” she cried and hugged him tight. Wayne's heart melted into hot wax. He held her hand against his chest and kissed her hair.“I'm sorry, I tried to make such a decision,” he mumbled deeply.“Why would you say something like that? I am sad about not having a normal life doesn't mean I don't't want the life with you. I want you, which is why I'm willing to live in
Olive's eyes widened.“You fought against hundreds of men yourself? All at once?” she asked, eyes as wide as saucers. He chuckled darkly and sipped his wine. Then he bit on his lips while smirking and looking into space with a dangerous look. Something about him immediately seeped out danger and Olive got goosebumps. This man was something.“How? If I may ask?” she managed to say, despite her survival instincts screaming at her to run from this man.“By turning feral. I won't shift, but I would turn feral in this state,” he answered and looked at her. She had been the one looking at him ever since he began his story.“When does that happen? Do you control it?”“Happens whenever I get an overwhelming emotion of anger and hate. Mind you, I was very quick tempered back then. So I could snap anytime. Because of that, I hardly had people around me.”“You are using past tense. Does that mean you're no longer quick tempered?”“I am. I just k
