Landon's territory.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Her life, her future and every dream were ruined. Olivia had hoped that breaking the ties with the pack would free her, but the plan backfired in the worst way possible.
She became damaged goods: a marked woman who ran away. No pack in their right mind would take her in now, and no man could ever look her way.
And worst of all, Olivia knew that even if a pack took her in, they had to announce her arrival to the man who marked her.
The chances of getting away from Noah were close to none, but that didn't mean she would give up. No, she wasn't the scared little girl anymore and knew better than to give Noah what he wanted. She would fight for her freedom.
So, once she saw a chance, Oliva stormed to her room, grabbed her wallet and sneaked out the window. Noah had gone to his office and would probably discuss what he did with his best friend- Olivia intended to use every minute they wasted to her advantage.
She loved Enzo. He was Noah's best friend, but he was nothing like the feral monster Noah was, so she used to love spending time with Enzo.
But even as she crossed the field and tried to escape prying eyes, Olivia didn't regret her decision. If the cost of her freedom was the possibility of never meeting her friend again, she had to take it.
The closer she ran to the forest line, the harder her heart beat against her ribcage. Olivia could hear her parents' voices in her head, but she ignored the warnings and pleas. Those people weren't her parents; she didn't belong in their pack.
"It has to be somewhere here," Olivia panted as she disappeared between the trees and kept pushing her body forward.
She chose the nearest border and didn't think of the neighbouring packs or free lands. She didn't intend to stay in a pack if she were to enter one, just pass through it until she found the nearest airport and returned to England.
As she ran, tears welled in her eyes. Only now did Olivia have to accept and understand how her life changed. She had no home, no parents, and darn it; she lost even a brother.
What was Olivia supposed to do? Did Noah think she would open her arms for him and accept his attempts to become something? A bitter chuckle left her lips at the thought.
Years ago, Olivia would have loved the idea; she used to have the worst crush on the man and couldn't explain it no matter how hard she tried. Back then, she stopped herself with reminders about them sharing blood, but as she ran through the woods, away from the monster who marked her, she knew they weren't siblings, and Noah already took full advantage of the fact.
She kept glancing back, fearing someone might have decided to follow her, but the thoughts and adrenaline did nothing but make her run faster.
She fell and stumbled back on her feet a couple of times, and at one point, she noticed blood.
If there were rogue wolves nearby, she was as good as dead, which was another thought that drove Olivia closer to the border.
Only after another painful tug at her heart did Olivia understand she was free. Free from the past that wasn't hers and the demons that might haunt her.
Her eyes scanned the area as she leaned against the nearby tree to catch her breath. Olivia had to think of what she might tell the patrol wolves in case she entered another territory, but she decided that telling the truth was the only option for her.
It didn't take too long for six massive wolves to appear next to her and surround her. Olivia knew running would be the worst thing she might do, so she raised her hands to show she didn't have a weapon.
"My name is Olivia," she whispered. "I ran from my pack, and I promise I won't stay here for longer than necessary. I had to get out of there, but I'll be on my way shortly after I catch my breath. You can take me to your Alpha, and I will tell him everything he wants to know. I didn't come with ill intentions; I just needed a safe space to cross and get away."
One of the wolves, the biggest one, tilted his head in a direction, and the others slowly started moving there while this one stood and waited on Olivia.
She hoped the man didn't shift for her good. The last thing she needed was a nude man yelling at her for being reckless or invading territories without permission.
Olivia knew this might happen, so she nodded and followed the wolves. What she did was indeed reckless and even stupid so, as she never bothered to think of which territory she might step into.
The biggest problem she had now wasn't Noah anymore; it was the Alpha who owned this territory. Many packs couldn't find the middle ground between the Alpha rulings, so some became allies, and others became enemies.
Midnight Blood was notorious for being one of the largest and most wealthy packs, but with the extras came far too many enemies. If this Alpha were to find out who Olivia truly was, he might try to sell her back to Noah. Or, even worse, kill her. Now that she wore Noah's mark on her neck, it wouldn't surprise her if someone decided to use her to hurt Noah.
She cast her glance down to her feet and focused on following the wolves without another fall. Oliva didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the warriors of another pack.
Perhaps she should have kept an eye on where the men took her, but since all wolves looked healthy and had no blood on their fur, Olivia knew as much as they weren't rogues.
Once they stepped out of the cover of the forest and Olivia finally looked up, she gasped. The packhouse was beautiful, and the people around it looked so joyful; she wondered why this was the first time she had seen this place.
A wolf nudged her side, encouraging Olivia to keep walking. Her cheeks heated as she glanced at the wolf and muttered, "I'm sorry, sir."
If the wolves could grin, Olivia would swear that's the thing this one did. It walked close to her as if it could sense how scared and uneasy Olivia was.
The presence provided more comfort for her, and once the wolf started growling and baring his teeth at everyone who looked in Olivia's direction, she knew this stranger was on her side.
The wolf stayed by her side while the others disappeared briefly. Soon enough, five massive men dressed in only jeans approached Olivia.
"Miss, the Alpha is expecting you." One of the men spoke.
Olivia couldn't understand where she was, yet she wasn't as shocked about the unfamiliar place as the kindness these strangers showed her.
Olivia gulped and glanced at the wolf, who still sat near her. "Can..." She bit her lip and scanned her surroundings.
"Cassius can go with you, but he doesn't shift." The same man adds, and the tension leave's Olivia's features.
She didn't know the wolf, but it was nice, he looked after her, and in a new place, it's always easier to fit in if you know at least one person.
Following the men again, with the wolf at her side, Olivia entered the enormous packhouse. The men led her down multiple halls until they stopped in front of an office, and one of the men knocked on the door.
"You may enter," a voice called out.
The door opened, and Olivia was shoved inside. She instinctively reached down to touch the wolf for comfort, but he wasn't there. Panic coursed through her as Olivia looked down and then around, seeking something. And then, her eyes settled on the man sitting behind the desk. Her heart sank, and her breath hitched. She was on Landon's territory. The only pack that hated the one she came from with passion: their hatred was deep, wild and personal.
Olivia held her breath as the man rose from his seat and cleared his throat, "I'm far too old to deal with trespassing bullshit, so you will have to wait until my son hears you out. Three days, you have three days to set your story straight. Then, we shall decide your future."
She gaped at the man. Wasn't he the Alpha? What did this have to do with his son? Besides, how hard could it possibly be for him to hear her out and let her leave?
"Guards!" He yelled, and the door behind Olivia immediately opened. "Take our guest to the cells. Until we figure out why we have one of the Bloods runts here, she isn't entitled to food or water. Three days won't kill her."

Two days had gone by since the day Olivia escaped her worst nightmare and ran straight into the arms of another one. She couldn't believe how drastically her life had changed in a matter of a few days. If Noah's doings weren't enough, now, she awaited a trial. Yes, exactly, a darn trial about her future inside or outside the territory she was kept as a prisoner. The funniest part of the mess was that Olivia couldn't understand how a man with such an honourable reputation and name could be so mean. He didn't spare a moment to listen to her or even consider letting her explain what had happened. "So much for the sanctuary for the lost and forgotten," she whispered, pulling her knees to her chest. The cells were cold and smelled worse than some public toilets she had used back in England. Olivia sat on the ground, which didn't have as much as concrete to cover the dirt; her back was pressed against the rock wall, and her eyes were closed. After two days without water and food, her sto
Not your Luna I suggest you find yourself a new Beta.
He tried to find her. Noah tried more than he had ever before, and if anything his mother used to tell him was true, it mattered if he tried his best. Yet, each of his attempts to look for her ended up with him stuck facing a dead end. Olivia disappeared; she managed to fade into thin air without one lead to track her down. "God fucking damn it!" Noah screamed as he grabbed a photo frame and threw it against the wall. He went as far as to spread Olivia's photos across the nearby packs, and against every instinct he had, Noah sent them to Landon's territory. He hated the man with passion, but he was so desperate that he had to cave in. Never before in his life had Noah felt so powerless. He was sure Olivia couldn't leave him even if she wanted to, but he knew he had to know better. Since he could remember her entering his life, she had always been as stubborn and unmovable as a brick wall. After everything he had already done, Noah decided to fly to England. If Olivia had somewher

When Olivia woke up, the first thought that crossed her mind was that she had to be dead. How else would she end up in such a bright space and sleep on something that felt like a cloud under her body?The last time she had slept so peacefully was back in England while she lived with her aunt. The memories hurt her; it was nothing but a constant reminder of how fake her happiness was. Luna Mira was the only mother Olivia had known, and she loved the woman, but the connection she had with Anne was something out of this world. The woman Olivia had called her aunt for years became another mother figure. Olivia didn't notice how she teared up until the tears started sliding down her cheeks. An annoying beeping sound next to her became louder, which alerted someone in the room."Thank God you're awake. You gave us some serious scare," a smiling woman hovered over her. Noticing the gentle look in her eyes, Olivia couldn't hold back the need to hear Anne's voice. She needed the reassuremen

Olivia sat up in the bed as she kept gazing at the stranger standing before her. She wasn't sure if she had ever met him before, but the more she tried to come up with any instance she might have met him- there were none. Surely, she would remember a man as inhumanly handsome as this stranger. If she thought Noah looked like a demigod, this man had to be too close or even better looking than her fake brother. Olivia's eyes darted to the nurse, who picked up some papers from the nightstand, bowed and left the room. Only when the woman was gone did Olivia dare to look at the man again. Yep, still nothing. She had no idea who he was and how he knew her name. Arching an eyebrow, she cleared her throat and reminded herself she must remain polite to prove them a point. "My apologies, I feel sincerely bad for saying this, but I don't think we have ever met before, so I have no idea who you are, sir." The man flashed her a blinding smile and shook his head. "No need to apologise, Oli

Once the confession left her lips, Olivia wasn't sure what she feared more: the possibility of making Logan angry or him sending her back to Noah. Though Logan looked like a good man, she couldn't tell if he had any ulterior motives when it came to her. All her life, Olivia had to be careful around people and hide her identity so that no one would think of using her against her parents. But then again, Logan knew who she was, and it didn't look like he needed more money than he had, so Olivia dared to assume he wouldn't act like this was some kidnapping case. Come to think of it, that was something she had to find out: how did Logan know who she was? Her parents had a habit of hiding her because of her unique looks, so there weren't many people who knew Olivia existed. Logan had an expression on his face that Olvia couldn't read, yet when he muttered 'so that's why', she had to question him. "Logan, may I ask how you know who I am? And what's why?" Olivia raised an eyebrow but t
Not your Luna Why is she here?
Landon led the way as his son followed in his footsteps. The old Alpha knew he had little to no power over the pack and his son after he handed down the title, but this wasn't a matter of power play. There was no way he would measure dicks with his son to decide which one of them was more powerful or wiser. Landon could bet his head on one thing: his son was a competent and reasonable Alpha. Logan didn't utter a word. He knew better than to confront his father out in the open. The hospital wasn't the right place to start something none wanted to finish, so both men had only one goal in mind- the office. And as they got closer, Logan couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong. Though he tried to guess what it might be, Logan didn't believe the issue could be pack-related. No matter how desperately he tried to grasp on anything but Olivia's involvement in the issue his father might discuss, Logan couldn't. His father hadn't been acting like himself since Olivia

"You can resign from your position as the Beta once we get back home," Noah announced with zero emotions lacing his words. Enzo stood behind him while Anne gaped at him in panic. Noah was sure both of them expected he would blow up and go absolutely bonkers, but he didn't, which was why the tension between them was thick enough to be cut before their eyes. Anne shifted her weight on her feet, acting as if Noah's emotionless gaze burned her skin, but he didn't care. His aunt, the only sibling of his dead mother, had chosen where her loyalty stood, and it wasn't where it should be. As harsh as the words sounded in his mind, Noah had to voice them before he lost the courage. "You're out, Anne. For good." His aunt gulped as her eyes widened. She didn't need more explanations of what he meant, but Anne didn't expect Noah would go that far. Yet, then again, she didn't expect he would fly to England in hopes of finding Olivia either. "You can't," she whispered, trying to catch on his b
Not your Luna I was thinking about you.
Logan turned out to be everything Olivia thought he wasn’t. Never, not even once, did he make her feel less than she was or like she wasn’t welcome. The Alpha made it his point to stay close to Olivia while she had to stay in the hospital. It seemed a little ridiculous how one wrong move had landed her under such intense care. However, after two full days under the careful observations of the hospital staff, Olivia was allowed to leave the hospital premises. Though she was excited about that, she had no idea where she would go after. It wasn’t like she didn’t have a home. She did, but the only home Olivia would agree to return to was in England. Sure, she could ask Logan to drive her to the nearest airport, but something in her gut kept nagging that it wouldn’t work. If Noah had already gone to England, she couldn’t know if he left or if he made sure some of his men were there, expecting her arrival. The pack? Ha, that was the last place anyone would see her ever again. The odd t

She fought back. Olivia tried her best to get out of the vicious claws of the rogues, but none of the men bothered to release her. At one point, she decided that maybe, if she screamed loud enough, someone could overhear her and try to help her, but the plan failed once the rogues stuffed her mouth with a dirty rag. Olivia’s eyes filled with tears. Not because of the men that were kidnapping her but because she barely resisted the intense urge to vomit her insides out. Trashing and any type of resistance didn’t help her case, so she gave up. For the time being. Wasting her energy was pointless, so she tried to think of a plan. Deep down, she hoped Noah would get to the place where she met the rogues soon. If he caught on their awful stench, there was a hope he might follow them and save her. Wasn’t that funny? The very man she escaped and tried to avoid was the only person who could save her from the monsters that were carrying her God knew where. Olivia tried to follow her surr
Not your Luna She was his father's favourite.
Noah couldn't believe what was happening. As much as he wanted to call Olivia dumb, he couldn't. Yet, he also couldn't understand what was happening in her mind. Olivia was supposed to hate him, to despise everything he did and said. She had to stay away from him. Wasn't that the purpose of everything he did? Wasn't Noah trying his best to stay away from her? He wouldn't mind spending another couple of months in the cabin just to ensure that she was comfortable in the place she once called her home.If his parents were still alive and knew anything about the mess he had created, they would most likely disown him. And the worst part was that Noah couldn't forgive himself. He had gone above and beyond and did everything in his power just to hurt Olivia.He was thrashing through the cabin, looking for the things he needed before he left, while the memories of his parents and their love for Olivia assaulted his mind. She was his father's favourite. Olivia was the daughter he never had

Olivia was livid. She never thought of Noah as someone irresponsible, despite how egoistic and stupid he used to act. But now, he was a complete dick, knew it, acknowledged it, and yet, refused to drop the act of stupidity. When she stormed out of the packhouse, she was surprised to notice that Enzo wasn’t following hot on her heels. No, this time, he let her do whatever she wanted. As she crossed the nearby field children used as a football field, the pack members approached her to voice their gratitude for her returning to them. At first, Olivia stood aside, shocked, wondering why all those people were so happy to see her back, but she didn’t have to wait for long until the answers to her silent questions spilt from the pack members. Apparently, their Alpha had lost his mind once he understood Olivia was gone. Noah had sent multiple patrols out to look for her and went to unclaimed lands himself, fearing that she headed there. The fool risked his life to find her while O
Not your Luna Olivia, don’t-
A new day could be seen as a new adventure. Or at least that was what Noah’s mother claimed when he was a child. Although Noah did his best to believe those words, to try to see the world through the eyes of the woman who raised him – it didn’t work. There were no adventures, just self-doubt and hatred. During the time he spent in the cabin, Noah used the chance to reflect on his decisions. For the most part, he was sure things he did were done for the right reasons and always brought good for others. But not for Olivia. What he did to her was for selfish reasons. Heat in the moment decision that might have cost him everything. She didn’t want to stay. She didn’t want to see Noah ever again. And yet, he tried to force her to stay. Initially, it didn’t work. The mark obviously meant nothing to her; it didn’t hold her back and hostage in his pack. She left without looking back, without thinking about the possible consequences or the effect it might have on her. That’s how desper
Not your Luna Together.
The only positive change in Olivia’s life was Enzo. She missed her friend more than she thought, and now that he stood near, the realisation slowly sank in. It took days, but once she adapted to the life in her previous pack, Olivia started leaving the bedroom more often and even offered her help to the cooks and maids. As she stood in the laundry room and folded warrior shirts, someone nudged her side. A slight smile spread across her lips once she recognised the scent. Enzo. “Hey there, stranger,” she whispered, still focusing on the pile of clothes in front of her. Sometimes, she wondered why she didn’t meet Noah. Enzo was around her quite often, but the man who insisted she returned, didn’t appear anywhere near her. If anything, Olivia expected Noah would follow in her footsteps and ensure no one approached her, but the opposite happened. Everyone could walk up to her and start a conversation – even when some men became too friendly, Noah didn’t show his face. “I was thinki
Not your Luna No plan B or C.
Noah knew he was acting like a selfish bastard, but he couldn’t do anything to change how he felt or viewed things, no matter how hard he tried. Especially Olivia. Every time he looked at her, he felt the pull he couldn’t resist and after the run-in with the witch, the need to protect her grew thousand times more intense. Judging by the look on her face and her cold attitude, Olivia wasn’t happy about returning home, but Noah couldn’t allow that bastard Logan to flaunt his Luna as a shiny new toy. Olivia couldn’t know how that man was, how he acted or anything about his true antics, but Noah knew enough. Women came and went to Logan, he never bothered about anyone’s feelings until his were hurt. Noah felt sorry for Logan at times for the man had lost his rightful Luna, but while his father kept hiding his son’s doings, Noah witnessed more than once how easy it was for Logan to jump from one bed to another. If he didn’t know better, Noah would claim Logan never really mourned the

Olivia knew who the owner of the voice was even before she stepped away from Logan and turned around to face Noah. She had thought Noah left because of her sudden appearance or perhaps he felt hurt by the lies he had been told over the time. But he didn’t have the right to blame her. He drove her away, encouraged her to leave and marked her just to mock her for the newfound rogue role and her inability to stay away. Olivia proved she was more than capable to stay away from him. It was Noah who broke, it was Alpha Black who wasn’t capable of accepting defeat. Yet, against her best judgement, the only thoughts in Olivia’s mind were excuses she should give Noah. A part of her knew it was the worst idea ever to justify her actions or claim she had no feelings for Logan, which would be true, but the other part still wanted to watch Noah suffer. After all those years of mockery and bullying, he was getting what karma prepared for him, so Noah shouldn’t think he had the right to complain
Not your Luna Let them stare.
Olivia couldn’t explain why her eyes sought out Noah for the rest of the evening even if she tried to. Her actions were like an instinct. The look on his face when she noticed Noah wasn’t anything Olivia thought she would see. Years ago, she would feed herself delusional ideas about her brother, missing her and being happy to see her. But now, she expected anger and resentment. None of those she saw. Hurt? Yes. Regret? Perhaps a hint of it. But what stood out the most was how miserable Noah looked. If she didn’t know better, Olivia would claim her supposed-to-be brother looked like someone who didn’t think he was worthy of standing under the same roof as her. “Olivia?” Logan’s voice startled her out of her thoughts, and her cheeks immediately turned bright red as she realised Logan’s eyes weren’t the only ones set on her. “Sorry,” she muttered. “I don’t feel good,” Olivia lied. She had no other choice but to come up with a bad, but believable lie. What would Logan and the othe
Not your Luna When her eyes met Noah’s.
Noah followed the woman out of the building and closer to the woods. Deep down, he knew he might make the worst mistake of his lifetime, but what was one mistake compared to the mess he had already created?From the moment when her eyes met Noah’s, he knew Olivia was gone. The Olivia he knew, loved, and obsessed over was gone. In the place of the beautiful, cheerful, unreal fairy of a person stood a woman unknown to Noah. It wasn’t just the appearance that had changed, it was the aura that surrounded Olivia.Though under different circumstances Noah would assume the change was created by his doings, by the mark he left on her neck, he knew that wasn’t the case. Life wasn’t about him, the world didn’t revolve around him, and it was about time for Noah to accept as much. The woman in front of him started hissing something under her breath, pulling Noah out of the void of his thoughts. He didn’t pay much mind to her words until a particular one caught his attention. “Excuse you?” Noah
