Everyone parted and found their respective places in the castle. It was almost time for dinner and Alpha Knight had called for an informal one in the Circular Cabinet within an hour.Olive sank into a sofa in their bedroom and shut her eyes.Three months in a secret place? Without Wayne? Without this family she had come to love so much? It felt like The Vrek Cult all over again.A twisting sensation wriggled in her gut and she groaned and turned uncomfortably.She didn't want to leave. She didn't want to be separated from her family again. What if she never reunited with them... Just as she never reunited with her parents?“Don't freaking think that again,” Wayne snarled, his features darkened and hardened.“I'm scared, Wayne. A lot of things could go wrong. I don't want to do this,” she cried out and hugged her legs. Wayne was right in front of her in a second. He crouched down and gripped her hands firmly in his.“I know, babe. I'm... I'm scared to. I won't let you go there without
Immediately, Olive stole the show. She was walking hand in arm with the Big Bad Alpha but nobody was looking at him. She had all eyes on her. She was looking so graceful, so classic and spectacular. Even General Kalif and Aunt Debbie had faces of positive appraisal.‘That's my girl,’ Shem drawled as he smirked at Olive.‘How does she even unknowingly steal the show and do that so flawlessly?’ Dolly mused as she smiled at Olive.‘I'd have married her if she wasn't already married,’ Vanessa joked.Everyone got on their feet to welcome them with a clap. Olive was all smiles until they sat down side by side at the head of the table. The servants came then and began to uncover the main dishes, and fill the glasses with mocktail.“Alpha Knight, your description of your wife's beauty is an understatement to what she really is,” Beta Roger stated. Wayne smiled and glanced at Olive.“I've always been bad at words. Well, Beta Roger and Lily, meet my mate, wife and Luna, Olive Knight.”“It's so
The entire dining hall was chaos now. Olive was screaming, her palms to her ears as if she was going crazy. Guards were rushing in after hearing the noise and disruption.Shem and Jake ran towards the wreck of a table, opposite Olive to help drag Wayne who was very motionless.“Olivera,” Lily cried out as she tried to approach her daughter, Beta Roger hurrying with her. But both they and the men trying to help The BBA were blasted away as an explosion erupted from Olive again.Everyone stepped back. The heat in the hall was terrible. Slick sweat coated their bodies like they had been pushing a manual mill for hours.The explosion died down again to reveal Olive sunk to her knees, her hands on the table in front of her. Her beautiful hair was out poured around her face and body, and she was panting so heavily.“Olivera,” Beta Roger called, panic laden in his voice.Shem and Jake jumped to their feet again, heading to save their Alpha. But few feet to the table, a splinting noise came u
This was the closest to death anyone had seen the BBA so they were very much shaken. The men crowded around him until Mufasa shooed them away and let only Olive stay with him. He was still very weak and Mufasa was trying to analyze why.“I lost control. I didn't... I wasn't thinking. I don't understand why I did what I did,” Olive stated immediately they were left alone. She had been sulking since but now it was just them, she wanted to speak up.“Olive,” Wayne called and held her cheek lovingly across his palm.“Well, at least your firewolf came out,” he said.“It almost killed you!”“It didn't.”“That's because Mufasa had to advise I call out to your soul. If he wasn't here, I'd not have known I was to do that. And I would have lost you. If that had happened... I would have followed you immediately.”Wayne smiled proudly and tucked hair behind her ear.“You're hot-blooded, baby. Cool down,” he teased but she frowned.“This is not time for jokes!”Mufasa walked back inside and laid d
Thankfully though, they stopped crying and unlocked to look at each other so the tears in Wayne's eyes went back inside.“My angel. Look at you. Look how you turned out like the empress of the world,” Lily mused as she held Olive and just looked her over.“You are so beautiful, Olivera,” Ryan said and Olive directly hugged him.“I missed you so much. I never thought... I lost all hope of meeting you again,” she cried. Ryan smiled and patted her hair.“We lost hope too. As you must have noticed seeing that we were ready to hand the Ignis chain to your little sister.”Olive smiled and held her mother's waist. She peered at her stomach like she could see the baby.“Oh God, she's going to be so strong. I feel it. Congratulations Mom and Dad.”Another group hug from the family.“We have a lot to catch up on. I still cannot believe it's you. My Flamera,” Lily mused again and ran a finger through the wavy strands of Olive's hair. Hair that was identical to hers.‘I'm in pains here, should I
Gia heard the bars of her cell opening and she jerked up. Finally, someone other than a servant bringing food had come. She was very enraged that after meeting with the Master of The Vrek Cult and talking with him, she wasn't given a comfortable room to stay in. Not even a room with a bed but was thrown back into the cell. How atrocious!After days now, the cell was finally being opened.“Your audience is needed in the Grand Chamber,” the man uttered and stood by the open cell. Gia almost spit at him but she composed herself and got on the floor. She was dizzy, but this time it was because she sat in dim light for so long and now was standing in bright light.She followed the guard out the now familiar route until they reached the Grand Chamber. But as soon as the doors were opened, Gia could sense something was very wrong with the place.It was nighttime again, and the Grand Chamber was only lit by a few torches hanging on the walls. But why did the darkness seem thicker today? The f
After the cult lady was executed, Mufasa was called upon to examine Wayne and note what the poison could be. Mufasa checked the vial and the coffee mug , and examined Wayne too.“It's called Touch-me-not. A very lethal poison that is effective only within the first five minutes it's exposed from its vial. But it doesn't affect or cause any harm until the second portion of it is also taken. Then, the two would combine and cause havoc within the body of the recipient. Whomever planned this poisoning doesn't want to kill you immediately. But if the second dose enters the blood, there is no known antidote to save that person.”Olive's eyes widened.“What? What if he gets poisoned with the second dose?”Mufasa bristled.“The poison was intended for you, Olive. Let's keep hoping that the second dose doesn't find its way to you and not the Alpha instead. Or they'll be no saving him then,” Mufasa answered.“That's not going to happen. No one is getting poisoned again. Not me, not my mate. We
Alpha Knight ordered for them to form a circle so everyone could face the dozen rogue wolves all around them. There was something about these wolves. Their clothes were tattered, moldy and stained in places. Their eyes were red and distant, yet held cruelty. They all were Japanese by the looks of it and smelled like wolves. But there was something else. Something none of them could pinpoint yet.‘Olive, you be careful,’ Wayne warned in their mindlink. She was facing the other way, her fists already bared ready in defense.‘You should be worried about them, not me,’ she replied with gritted teeth.‘No fire, Olive. We don't wanna burn down the forest.’Olive smirked.‘Don't count on it.’The rogue wolves were not attacking but growling and circling them. As if they were waiting for the signal by a referee.“What the hell are they waiting for?” Shem yelled amidst the loud growling.“Maybe we should attack first?” Terry asked, flexing his fists.“No. They attack. We defend. Just wait for
