Kurt's POVI woke up the next morning, feeling a little giddy. Did it feel like going for my morning run and besides the sun was already up?I attended a business party and had some drinks. But, urgh! What to do? I needed to get ready for an appointment.I looked at the bed and my pretty lady beside me was still sleeping. I hope she doesn't forget that we have a lot to do tonight.During the fool moon, her father's body will be cremated by the council. The elders of our clan and she must stay there until it is turned into ashes.Then under the full moon, she will carry her father's ashes while naked and enter into the deeper side of the goddess's river, where she will stay until the sun rises.I left the bed and went out of the room, going downstairs.I got to the dining and discovered the maids were still setting breakfast.Geez! They weren’t even done yet.I turned around and went to the kitchen. I couldn’t tell why I felt so much hungry that morning.I entered the kitchen and loo
Alpha Kurt's POV.The ritual commenced as the elders of our clan encircled the burning flames of Si. Gregory's cremating corpse.I stood behind them, with Olivia standing right in front of me. I could tell by the aura enveloping her, that with every single breath she took the weight of the burden she bore in her heart...Her vigor seemed to be marking down and her heartbeat was fluttering.I tried to touch her, but couldn't. Even though she was right in front of me.I tried to connect and communicate with her through our link but at each attempt, she had blocked me out of her mind.Although she might feel like I don't understand what she must be going through, I do. I knew very well what it feels like when you lose the ones you love, and the fear of not being able to see them again.Each of my parent's demises was more painful than the first.Despite the heat from the burning flames, her heart felt so cold even from the distance I stood. I could sense the chills on her skin.*****I
Olivia's POVMy father held my hands tightly with tears running down his eyes." Daughter, I am so sorry for all you had to go through because of my past decisions. I wasn't the best father to you my love..."" No, no. Dad. Please don't say that. You are the best father. My father! My mentor. You are everything that I want and need in life."" Dear, you door know what your father had done. I have made so many mistakes in my life my dear, I tried to fix them, I tried to make amends for all my sins but unfortunately, my sins finally caught up with me, my daughter."He pulled away from me and started towards the exit." Dad please, stop don't leave me!" I ran up to him and held his hand." I will never leave you, Olivia. I am with you and will always be. You and I will never be apart, our hearts are connected. You are my daughter and I am your father. " he began coughing nonstop and suddenly his mouth was filled with blood." Father, what's wrong? I think You are a poisoned dad." I said
Paige's Pov:I know that my best friend was going through the toughest moments of her life.Losing the only family you have is the worst thing I believe could happen to anyone.I promised myself that I would do everything in my power to always make her feel alive and be the family she needs whenever she was with me.“So, you mean our alpha Kurt passed the first two tests?” I asked as we sat next to each other in the class.“Yes, Paige. And it's so shocking. It’s happening as though he was reading my mind, as I told him about them. Or could it be possible he overheard us when we were discussing it? Or perhaps he read my mind again?” Olivia asked.“Of course not, Olivia. Remember he wasn’t even at home when I left. And it's not as if he has the time to start reading your mind."“Gosh! Then does it mean Kurt and I are really meant for each other? He’s just passing the tests without stress”.“Hm. Anyway, he still has one more to go – getting you the gold-colored necklace. But are you seri
Olivia's POVI opened the box and my eyes met with a dazzling necklace flashing sparkle into my eyes.Oh, Goddess!It was silver!I sighed heavily and plonked myself on the bed.My eye drooped.I stared keenly at it to be sure, but it wasn’t changing into any other color. It was real.He got me a silver colored necklace, instead of gold.Oh, geez!I kept the necklace on my lap and buried my face in my palm.This was meant to be the last test. It was so close. What then happened?Oh, Gosh!Does that mean we’re not meant for each other? But he passed the first two. Why did he have to fail the last one?Why a silver necklace instead of gold?*****I woke up the next morning, feeling kinda weak.Kurt left home very early even before I finished taking my bath. He said he had an important schedule.I had breakfast and left for school and on my way to class, I bumped into the school jerk – Dylan. Geez! I had almost forgotten someone like him existed in this Clan.“Hey, Gorgeous ” he called a
Olivia's POVI stayed mute for a while and turned around, going back into the house.Luckily, his mum was still in the sitting room, going through her phone.“Um…mum” I called.“Yes, dear?” She lifted her head to look at me.I could still see worries in her eyes.“Is there a problem?” She asked.“Um…not really. I just wanted to ask. Where exactly is Kurt staying?”***********I sat in the backseat and wondered when we’d ever get to the address.Kurt’s mansion was so far from his father’s.“Are we close?” I asked the driver after a while.It was getting dark already.“Don’t worry, ma’am. We’re there already” he replied as we drove into a tied road.The long path was quiet with no buildings – just decorations and Gardens.It looked more like sections.He kept driving along the beautiful place until we got to a huge gate with armed men dressed in black standing outside.The gate was locked and the driver had to stop.Two of the men came to us and the driver lowered the window glasses.“W
Olivia's POV“No. Your wife and I were just talking. She was telling me of an old ridiculous story which has no meaning” she replied and laughed.What?“Really?” Kurt asked in surprise.“Are you guys that close already?”“Yeah – to be sincere, your wife is so much fun to be with – especially with the funny story she told me,” she said and threw a glance at me.What the hell?“Hm,” Kurt mumbled and took in a slice of plantain.“Hmmm. I love finger foods. I like how good you made them. It wow!” he complimented with relish as he almost ate with his eyes closed.“Thank you!” The lady exclaimed happily, giving an ugly smile that revealed all her teeth.He took in another bite of the slider and nodded while eating it. I could feel my cheeks turning hot red.“This is good” he complimented, nodding like a lizard.“Oh, my! Thank you so much!!”I turned around and left the kitchen, angrily.As soon as I got outside, I brought out my phone and started going through my contacts. I need to stop th
Olivia's POV“Yeah – I’m in support. Let’s do it” The alpha said and the rest of the people concur.“Are you in, cute Luna?” she asked me and I looked at Kurt as if waiting for him to give me the go-ahead.But he didn’t say anything“Yeah, I’m in” I replied and the Beta's mate clapped like a baby.“Okay; who’ll go first?” she asked.“Hold on, aren’t we gonna ask Alpha Kurt if he’s in or not”, one of them said.“Of course, he’s in” the Alpha beamed.“Yeah, I’m in” Kurt replied and drank from his bottle again.“Okay; now remember the rules; three people can not choose Truth in a row. Meaning, that if the first two people choose Truth, the next person would have to choose Dare”, tagged explained.Huh?“Yeah – because most people are scared of Dare and would always wanna choose truth,” The Beta said.“Huh? But I’m not scared of Dares. Dare is my favy” the alpha cuts in and moved back and front on her seat in a seductive way.Gosh! I should’ve listened to Kurt. I should’ve just stayed at
