The men went straight to Mufasa's dungeon to submit the information they had received.As they entered in, they found the old man with Ami and Olive pouring over scrolls. They were writing and reading, and sweating.“Something tells me our mission is more successful than yours,” Alpha Knight said, announcing their presence. Olive looked up and a smile broke out her lips immediately. She dumped the scroll in her hands and ran to her mate who grabbed her with open arms.“You have no idea how stressful working with Mufasa is,” she whined while still locked in his embrace. Wayne chuckled and released her.“Believe me, I know. Which is why I always dodge doing anything with him,” he replied and Olive laughed. She looked behind him and saw the other guys.“Hey guys! How was the mission? Any good news?”“Walter is a freaking password,” Shem answered with a shrug and walked past them to sit his butt down.“A pass...word?”“I hope I can eat from Jake's secret snack bar by yelling WALTERRRR in
After that hectic mission and the over one hour they spent in Mufasa's dungeon just going back and forth with questions, Wayne was back in his quarters with his mate. He was weak... The weakest he had been in awhile. It wasn't because of the fact he hadn't rested well or because he had a lot of his hand. But because of the new revelation of his mother. It was all too much. He had thought she was killed innocently and had lived his life with thoughts of revenge on her killers. But turns out his mother had brought that short war on them by wronging the vampires... By stealing from them. Even if it was just the Replenisher she stole, that was enough for them to vanquish her and everything she loved.His mother was a thief... A rogue. He had not even known after that last part except when Mufasa mentioned it just tonight. He hated rogues, yet his mother was one. And she had been with a vampire. A rogue and a vampire was a bloody terrible combination. They must have wrecked havoc together.
“Come on, heck...there's a lot this has solved. Come on,” he nudged her on as they stepped out of the elevator and ran to the dungeon. They hurried down the stairs and were underground in seconds. Wayne burst the door open without touching it and Mufasa was revealed looking at a beautiful, shiny, black and white hardback book which laid on the desk. Walter, Crusoe and Shem were there looking just like Wayne —sweaty yet excited. But Jake, Jericho and Terry appeared normal. They obviously did not go.“You guys left to face death without me!” Olive whined.“Did you expect us to take you to die too if it truly was that dangerous?” Shem asked with a smile.“I... But... Urgh! Alpha males!” Olive grunted and stomped off to Mufasa's side. Walter laughed and looked at Wayne.“She's a tough one,” he said.“Yeah, just how I like my meat. Tough, succulent and delicious,” Wayne muttered and Olive whipped her head at him, scowling deeply.“Don't even think using words like that on me will get me to
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
