Chapter 9“I never agreed to be your mate!” She wanted to scream but all she could do was voice it in her head.“Do not even think of it,” she immediately heard his voice in her head. “Remember we made a deal,” he added.She immediately turned and gave him a deep frown. His mom didn’t fail to notice the tension between them, she widened her eyes in happiness. "Your mate? That's wonderful news! Come, let's sit down and talk."As they sat and chatted, Olivia couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging. She was surrounded by wolves.“So tell me, when do the two of you intend to mate each other?”“We do..”“Soon mother,” Edward immediately replied, cutting Olivia short and pressing onto Olivia’s hand.“Let go of me,” Olivia interrupted, pulling her hand away from Edward's grasp.Edward's mom looked at Olivia with surprise. "Oh, I'm sorry. Edward didn't mention that you hadn't accepted the bond yet." She was quick to understand that she wasn’t comfortable with the discussion."It's fine,"
Chapter 10Olivia knew she had to take her eyes away from his naked and tempting body, she was supposed to be asking him questions about why he had done that but with this naked man in front of her, she couldn't find her tongue. She wanted to say something but she was short of words. "Olivia," he called out her name in a hoarse voice.“Yes,” she answered, finally managing to say something. Edward knew he could not let her ask him any questions, so he decided to do something that would leave her speechless. The action he took next made Olivia nearly lose her breathing, it made her blood hammer and her chest beat faster. He rushed to her and gave her a very tight hug. He knew fully well that he was completely naked and this act of his would seize her breath away. "I'm sorry for letting you see that other scary part of me," he said in a soft fake tone. "I just could not stop myself from having a taste of flesh meat, believe me I sincerely tried very hard to stop myself but I just cou
Edward had been away from his pack for two days, and he was finally returning home. As he approached the pack's territory, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement mixed with anxiety. He missed his pack, but he also knew that his reason for not always being around was a positive one. He needed to get what he needed from his mate and by all cost.As he entered the pack's territory, he saw a feminine figure which looked very familiar.“Emelda,” he muttered, not so sure if he was right.He moved closer and found out that he was right. In fact she was waiting for him. Edward walked nervously towards the clearing where she was. He had missed her terribly and couldn't wait to see her again but this was never the plan. As he approached the clearing, he saw her sitting on a log, her long hair blowing in the wind. She looked up and saw him, and a huge smile spread across her face.He was surprised to see her there since he had asked her to stay away from the pack for the next two years
Days had passed since Olivia left. She chose to go away from Edward for sometime, in order to be at peace.**Olivia stood at a safe distance from the old, dilapidated house nestled deep within the dense forest. The moon's pale glow cast an eerie aura over the surroundings, adding an extra layer of mystique to the scene. She watched as a group of individuals entered the house, their figures shrouded in darkness. Intrigued by their presence, Olivia's curiosity got the better of her. Who were these people? What brought them to such a remote and ominous place?As she observed them, Olivia couldn't help but notice their distinct features and peculiar behavior. One man, tall and muscular, had a rugged appearance with unkempt hair cascading down his broad shoulders. His piercing eyes seemed to penetrate the night, filled with a sense of primal intensity. Another woman had an air of grace about her, her movements smooth and deliberate. Her eyes held a hint of wildness, as if she had a connec
Edward sat alone in his dimly lit chamber, his thoughts consumed by a malevolent plan that swirled within his mind. The desire for power, for dominance, had taken root in his soul, casting a shadow over any remnants of humanity that remained. Olivia, a mere pawn in his grand scheme, had unknowingly become the object of his twisted obsession.He imagined having her at his whim, sleeping with her whenever he desired and acquiring powers until he was ready to kick-start his own campaign.As he contemplated the sinister path he had chosen, Edward's senses sharpened. His heightened awareness allowed him to perceive the subtle shifts in the air, the slightest fluctuations in the atmosphere. But it was the low, aggressive whine that emanated from within him, a sound that sent shivers down his spine, which demanded his immediate attention.Confusion flickered in Edward's eyes as he tried to comprehend the source of the disturbance. He knew that the whine originated from within his own being,
Edward's heart pounded in his chest, a drumbeat of urgency as he raced through the dense undergrowth of the forest. Fear, an emotion he had long suppressed, surged through his veins, lending wings to his feet. His mind was consumed by a single purpose—finding Olivia, his obsession, his pawn in a twisted game of power.He called out her name, his voice raw with desperation, cutting through the stillness of the woods like a blade. "Olivia!" he shouted, the syllables carried away by the wind, disappearing into the vast expanse of nature that surrounded him. But there was no response, no echo of her voice to guide him.His steps were frenzied, his gaze scanning the tangled foliage, searching for any sign of her presence. Each passing moment without her reply tightened the knot of anxiety within him, fueling his determination to locate her. His mind conjured images of all that could befall her in these unforgiving woods, each scenario more harrowing than the last.As Edward navigated throu
As desperation gripped Olivia's trembling form, she mustered every ounce of strength to escape the confining room. With cautious steps, she made her way towards the door, her eyes fixed on the faint glimmer of hope beyond its threshold. But as she reached for the handle, her world turned into a nightmare.A metallic clang reverberated through the air, a deafening sound that shattered the silence. Olivia's heart lurched as she realized she had fallen into a trap, a cruel snare set by her captors to ensure her confinement. The cold steel jaws clamped around her leg, trapping her in a vice-like grip. Pain shot through her body, threatening to overwhelm her senses.Her limbs trembled uncontrollably as she collapsed to the floor, her body wracked with agony. Tears welled in her eyes, a mixture of fear and anguish blurring her vision. The weight of the cage on her leg was both a physical and metaphorical prison, a stark reminder of her vulnerability and the cruel intentions of her captors.
Edward's heart pounded in his chest as he rushed towards the clearing, his steps fueled by a mix of anticipation and dread. The flickering light that had caught his attention danced before his eyes, creating a mirage of hope. But as he drew closer, reality twisted cruelly, revealing that his desperate yearning had been in vain.The clearing, once bathed in a faint ethereal glow, revealed itself as a mere trick of the light. There was no sign of Olivia, no trace of her fragile form amidst the tangled foliage. A hollow ache filled Edward's chest, the weight of disappointment crushing his spirit.A primal roar of anger erupted from his throat, reverberating through the forest like a thunderclap. His rage surged through him, a tempest of frustration and helplessness. He lashed out, his powerful limbs tearing through the surrounding plants with unrestrained force. The greenery fell victim to his fury, branches snapping and leaves scattering in his wake.Tears welled in his eyes as he reali

With a heavy heart, Nadine reluctantly came to terms with the fact that her father had chosen to give her away to Kael. This man, Kael, was a complete stranger to her.
