Chapter 10

Third person.

Jacob kept thinking about what Olivia had told them. As a child, her pack had been raided and she had been taken as a prisoner and turned into a slave. He had heard stories of how the slaves were being treated in the rogue pack, but he had never imagined that it was as bad as that.

When they had found Olivia, she had looked starved, with scratches all over her body. Her eyes were sunken in and she was beginning to look like a skeleton.

When she sat at the table earlier that evening, the fear in her eyes was very evident, she looked like she was picking and choosing her words so as not to offend them.

He had done his best not to make her scared but Damon and Christian had made her scared.

He started thinking of ways to make her feel more comfortable. She was staying in his villa. He had put her in one of the best rooms in the villa and made sure she had enough maids to order around if she needed anything, but she still seemed scared.

He knew what he had to do. He had to spend some time alone with her so that she could see that he meant . He would have to alo talk to christian and Damon and make sure that they understood that she was very fragile.

The next morning, Jacob woke up earlier than usual, he had pack business to attend to later in the day, but before that he wanted to do something for Olivia to feel more comfortable.

He called Gina and told her to wake Olivia up and get her ready, and bring her downstairs. Gina bowed her head and hurried upstairs to do as he said. In thirty minutes, Olivia was being led down the stairs by Gina, in a green flowing gown. He let his eyes wander over her and saw how beautiful she looked and he felt his wolf get excited within him.

Her head was bowed so he could not see her face very well, and that was one of the things that he was trying to change. If she was going to be the luna of his pack, she was going to have to be confident enough to look straight ahead when walking.

She stopped in front of him and said in a low voice.

“Good morning alpha,” she said.

“Good morning Olivia, I thought we could have dinner together this morning,” he said with a smile, hoping to ease her nerves, but she still looked very shy.

She nodded, and followed him to the table where breakfast was laid up. Her eyes widened a little as she saw all the food on the table. She had been in rooms like this, but she was always the maid that stood by the side, waiting to be called up to attend to the important people. And now she was being treated like one of the important people.

She had so many questions to ask but she was too scared that she would offend them and they would take her back to the rogue pack.

“How did you sleep?” Damon asked her, trying to make conversation. He knew that she had a lot of questions to ask, he owed her an explanation and he knew but he needed her to talk to him.

She seemed like she was only staying because she was scared of him.

She nodded her head in response to his question and he sighed.

“Olivia, I know that you are confused about the situation that you found yourself in,” he said. She looked up at him warily and nodded.

“I brought you to breakfast to ask whatever questions have been on your mind” he said.

She looked up at him as if she was suspicious of him before she finally spoke.

“”Where am i?” she said like she was testing the waters.

“You are at my villa, in the moonshadow pack.” he answered directly.

“How did I get here?” she asked again, still looking wary.

“Damon, christian and I found you injured in the forest. You were at the point of death. We were able to revive you and bring you here.” he said.

“But it is impossible to revive someone after they have been stabbed by a silver knife, it kills you from the inside out” she said, like she was talking to herself.

“Yes it is, but there is one way.” he said, hoping that she would understand him.

A sudden realization fell on her face as she understood what had happened.

“A mark from three alphas at the same time reverses the effects of a silver knife” she said.. “You all marked me”

“Yes, we did,” he said.

“To save my life?” she asked, a confused look on her face.

“Why would you save my life if you did not know who I was?” she asked.

“We do not know, we felt a strong pull to you and we did not have too much time to overthink it ” he explained to her.

“I'm sorry, but I still don't get why the three most powerful alphas in the district would randomly decide to mark me to save my life” she said again.

“It wasn't random. There was a prophecy that we were following when we went into the woods ” he said.
