Olivia's POVAlpha Enzo remained composed, but I could tell he wasn’t himself. I could see through him—or perhaps I was wrong.“Olivia, you should be happy. This is what you wanted, right?” he said, his eyes fixed on me as if daring me to say otherwise. But I couldn’t say a word. I hated myself. I hated myself for feeling this much pain. I hated myself for not taking the chance to kill him when I had it. I hated myself for falling in love with him.Yes, I was in love with him, and despite knowing it for so long, I had refused to accept it. But today, I was admitting it. I was in love with this beast—my parents’ killer.Alpha Enzo slowly stood up from his seat and glanced at me one more time. “When you sign your part of the agreement, you can send it over to me. And for your internship in my company—don’t worry about it; you can continue.”I stared at him, the words settling heavily in the space between us.He was letting me go.No fight. No excuses. No pleas.Just… letting me walk awa
Olivia’s POVI looked in Alpha Enzo’s direction, expecting him to get furious and possessive like he always does when he sees another man close to me, but this time it was different. Alpha Enzo wasn’t looking my way; his attention was focused solely on the lady who was now on his lap, grinding on him. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back.“Do you wanna dance with me?” the DOM asked, offering his hand.I took the DOM’s hand, forcing a smile as I let him lead me onto the dance floor. The bass throbbed beneath my feet, vibrating through my body as I pressed closer to him. His hands slid confidently down my waist, but I barely felt it. My mind was elsewhere—on Alpha Enzo, on the woman in his lap.I moved deliberately, letting my hips sway in time with the music, my body brushing against the DOM’s. I even tilted my head back, letting out a soft laugh I didn’t feel. The DOM grinned, clearly pleased by my reaction.But none of it mattered.I could still see Alpha Enzo out of the
Olivia’s POVI lingered in the doorway, gripping the handle as if it was the only thing keeping me upright. Alpha Enzo’s gaze never wavered, dark and unreadable, but there was something different about him tonight—something I couldn’t quite place.I swallowed hard, forcing my voice to stay steady. “I wanted to see you.”He arched a brow, clearly not believing my word. “You saw me at the club.”“That doesn’t count,” I shot back, stepping inside before he could dismiss me. “I’m still your sub, remember?”His eyes narrowed slightly, and for a moment, I thought he might argue. But then he shifted, reclining further into the pillows with that same maddening calmness. “Olivia, shut the door on your way out.”I froze, the cool finality in his tone slicing through me like a blade.“No,” I said softly but firmly.His gaze snapped back to mine, sharp and predatory. “Excuse me?”“I said no.” I squared my shoulders, stepping further into the room. “I’m spending the night here.”A tense silence hu
Olivia's POVI woke up at midnight feeling pressed. Slowly, I released myself from Alpha Enzo's grip and made my way into the restroom. After easing myself, I washed my hands in the sink and stared at myself in the reflection. Thoughts bubbled in my head, and I frowned. What was I doing? This wasn’t the plan. I sucked in a deep breath and composed myself. My plan was still intact; I could still poison him. All I needed was a good opportunity to carry out my plan, and now was it. As usual, the poison was in my bag. It was in a container, and even if Alpha Enzo went through my bag, he would never suspect a thing because I put it in a bottle labeled as essential oil. It was the perfect cover. No one would suspect a harmless-looking bottle of lavender oil to contain something deadly. I smirked at my reflection, the cold determination in my eyes staring back at me. I couldn’t afford to fail now. Too much was at stake.I took a deep breath, splashed water on my face, and dried it with a tow
Olivia's POVI woke up, and the comforting warmth of Alpha Enzo was gone. Looking behind me, I realized he had left the bed. Frowning, I sat up in the bed and looked around, but then the door to the bathroom opened, and Alpha Enzo walked in shirtless, wearing just sweatpants. My eyes fell on his exposed chest, and I swallowed hard. No matter how many times I've seen him shirtless, I can't seem to get enough of him. Alpha Enzo was incredibly hot, and believe me, I'm not exaggerating. He had the perfect face, perfect hair, perfect body—everything about him was perfection, and he would have been my dream man if not…“Are you done staring?” Alpha Enzo teased, pulling me back to the present. I scoffed and playfully rolled my eyes at him.I crossed my arms over my chest, trying to appear unfazed, though my cheeks betrayed me with a soft blush. “I wasn't staring,” I said, raising my chin. “I was just… lost in thought.”Alpha Enzo smirked, the kind of smirk that could make anyone's knees weak
Olivia's POVThe wolf rose to his feet, towering over me again. Even in this form, he managed to exude that same smug confidence that drove me insane. He stepped closer, his nose brushing against my shoulder, and I instinctively stepped back.“Stop it,” I muttered, feeling my face heat up.He didn’t stop. Instead, he leaned in further, his warm breath ghosting over my neck.“Enzo,” I warned, trying to sound firm but failing miserably.The wolf let out a soft rumble and nipped lightly at my sweater, tugging it playfully.“Okay, okay! What is your deal?” I asked, throwing my hands up. “If you want to shift back to talk, then do it already. Otherwise, stop teasing me.”With that, Alpha Enzo stepped back, his amber eyes locking onto mine. His body began to shift again, the transformation as fluid and mesmerizing as before.When it was over, he stood before me in all his human glory—naked, unbothered, and ridiculously smug.“You know,” he said, his voice rich with amusement, “you’re cute w
Olivia's POVWith a racing heart, I remained seated on the bed, staring at the bottle of whiskey. A part of me was compelling me to stand up to my feet, pick up the bottle, and throw the contents into the sink, but I held myself back and whispered that this was the right thing to do. This was what anyone in my shoes should do—make him pay. But why did those tears keep falling down my cheeks? Why do I feel so terrible?Only one answer: it’s because I have fallen in love with Enzo. I was in love with my parents’ killer. How wicked can life be? Among all the men in the world, I decided to fall for a man like Enzo.Suddenly, the door pushed open, and I swallowed hard when I saw Enzo step in. Our gazes interlocked, but I panicked and looked away. Enzo didn’t say a word. Instead, I watched him go over to the bottle of whiskey. My racing heartbeat quickened as I saw him open the bottle and fill a glass cup with the whiskey.My heart raced faster as everything in me compelled me to run over t
Olivia’s POV“Your what?” I asked, my voice shaky as disbelief washed over me. Alpha Enzo had never mentioned being a twin. What was he talking about?“Olivia…” He paused, taking a slow, deep breath before carefully rising to his feet. My heart raced as I watched him close his eyes for a moment, then reopen them, locking his gaze with mine. “So, your family… was the family my brother assassinated that day. You’re the girl I’ve been searching for?” His words hung in the air, and my brow furrowed in confusion.“What are you talking about?” I asked, panic creeping into my chest.Enzo groaned in pain, and my stomach sank. I could feel the poison spreading through his system, knowing it was affecting his organs. I was terrified.“I don’t have much time, so I’ll be quick,” he said, his voice low. My head pounded as I tried to process his words. “There was a project our company needed—something crucial. Your father, he was just a small businessman back then, but he won the project and we los
Olivia's POV months laterThe city lights shined through the window of our hospital room, a sharp contrast to the sterile white walls and the faint beeping of the monitors. I leaned back against the bed, one hand gripping the railing, the other clutching Enzo’s hand tightly. The contractions had started hours ago, each one stronger and closer together, making my entire body tremble with effort. Enzo sat beside me, his eyes locked on mine, his face full of worry and love. “You're doing amazing, babe,” he whispered, his thumb brushing over the back of my hand. “Just a little longer.” I let out a shaky breath, trying to focus on his voice instead of the pressure building in my abdomen. My hospital gown clung to my damp skin, and the room felt far too bright. “I’m not sure I can do this,” I admitted through gritted teeth as another contraction surged through me. “Yes, you can,” Enzo said firmly, leaning closer. His tone was gentle but commanding, the voice of my Alpha, my husb
Third person POV The wedding reception had gone on for a while, and after their first dance in the moonlight, they decided to leave and call it a night. They were cheered by the crowd as they left, and Enzo lifted Olivia and carried her into the house and up the stairs. He walked into the room and closed the door behind them. He put her down and pushed her into the wall, staring into her eyes before leaning down for a soft kiss, which quickly turned to an urgent one. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled down the zipper of her dress, so it pulled at her feet. They had done this before, but all of a sudden, it felt so new. His hands wandered all over her body, stirring primal heat in her belly. She was so cut in the moment, she did not notice when he brought his hands up to her lingerie which she didn't have the chance to showcase and tore it into two, she only knew that she wanted his mouth on the flesh he had exposed. Before she could get too impatient, Enzo pressed h
Olivia's POV I sat in a quiet corner of my room, my fingers trembling slightly as I adjusted the silver crown resting on my head. The gown I wore felt both delicate and heavy, its lace and flowing fabric brushing against the ground, reminding me of the weight of tonight’s ceremony. This wasn’t just a wedding, it was a coronation. Enzo had insisted that we wasted no time getting married, and within a week of him proposing, everything we needed for the wedding was prepared. He had said that he couldn't wait to have me as his wife, and there was no need dragging the process longer than it already was. I took a deep breath, placing a hand over my belly, willing myself to stay calm. I was only two month pregnant, so my stomach wasn't really protruding. This night wasn’t just for me and Enzo, it was for the entire pack. “Stop fidgeting,” Sonia’s teasing voice broke through my thoughts. I looked up to see her grinning at me, her brown hair pinned back with little silver clips. “You look
Olivia's POVI stood there, shocked at first, and then confused. Enzo has told me that we were attending a birthday party of a business partner, but it seemed he had lied to me. The restaurant was beautiful, much fancier than I expected. The soft glow of golden chandeliers lit the room, reflecting on shiny glasses and silverware. Everything seemed perfect, almost too perfect. There were also just a handful of people inside. Standing there were Sonia, smiling brighter than I’d ever seen her; Adams, who grinned like he had a secret; and Enzo’s mother, her eyes soft and full of emotion. There were also a few other people who seemed to be waiters. I still hadn't fully processed what was going on, and I turned around to look at Enzo with one of my eyebrows raised, and he just laughed. “What’s going on?” I asked myself softly. Enzo walked beside me, his hand lightly on my back. His touch was warm, but something about him felt different tonight. He wasn’t his usual relaxed self. He seem
Olivia's POV I woke up to soft kisses on my face. Smiling, I already knew who it was. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed Alpha Enzo kissing me on my face. I faked annoyance and groaned, but he chuckled and hugged me. "Good morning, mate!" he said softly, and I felt the familiar flutter of butterflies in my stomach. It had been a week since we discovered we were mates, and Enzo had never missed an opportunity to call me that. He called me "mate" literally everywhere—in the office, at the club. In fact, everyone knew I was Enzo's mate. Due to my pregnancy, I was advised to stop working at the club, and I agreed. Now, I only worked at the company. Enzo kissed my forehead and then leaned down to place a kiss on my stomach. I smiled and gently stroked his head as he softly rested it against my stomach. "I can hear his heartbeat," he said, and I smiled, knowing he was telling the truth. Werewolf fathers could hear the heartbeat of their pups just by placing a hand. "How do you know i
Enzo’s POV “Enzo…” I could see the shocked look in her tear-filled eyes when she realized I was awake. “You’re back…” she exclaimed through tears and hugged me, sobbing loudly. “Thank you, Enzo. Thank you for not dying. I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” She blurted out too many words at once, but all I could do was remain numb in her embrace as her words resounded in my ears. I heard something—she said something. When she finally pulled away, she looked at my face with tear-soaked eyes. I could see the relief and excitement in her gaze. “How are you feeling?” she asked, wiping the tears off her face with the back of her hands. I narrowed my gaze at her. The words I heard—the ones that forcefully pulled me out of my unconsciousness—still resounded in my head. “Olivia, what was it you were saying?” I asked softly but curiously. Of course, I clearly heard what she said, but I couldn’t believe it. I wanted her to say it again. Olivia hesitated, fear and worry flickering in her eye
Olivia’s POVFor several minutes, I remained seated, holding Enzo’s hand as I cried silently, watching him remain lifeless. I wished I could turn back the hands of time. I wished I could have asked him questions instead of making such mistakes, which I am now living to regret.The door opened, and Enzo’s mother walked in. I held her gaze and could tell she had been crying; her eyes were red and puffy.“Olivia, the healers want to work on him, and you have to give them space,” she said softly. I nodded and looked back at Enzo, who remained lifeless. Wiping my tears with the back of my hand, I slowly stood up and let go of his hand.Enzo’s mother led me out of the room, and we descended the stairs, arriving at the sitting room where Adams and a familiar lady sat. I frowned when I recognized her as Clara—the same lady we met at the auction. She was the one who told me she and Enzo were once a couple, the one who showed me a picture of her and Enzo and told me he was dangerous. My brow fu
Olivia’s POV Her words hit me like a tidal wave, and I choked out a sob. “He still loves me…” I whispered, my heart aching with the weight of her revelation. “Of course he does,” she said firmly. “And you’re carrying his child. That means something, Olivia. It means you’re family now, no matter what happens. If Enzo wakes up and, for some reason, doesn’t want you, I will make sure you and that baby are protected.” Her declaration left me speechless. The woman who should have hated me was promising me safety, support, and a future. I didn’t know how to respond, so I just nodded, my tears falling freely. She straightened, her presence as regal as ever. “Rest, Olivia. You and this baby are my priority now. I’ll do everything in my power to ensure you’re both safe.” I nodded again but was still concerned and worried about Enzo. “Can I please see him? I really want to see him,” I pleaded desperately. Alpha Enzo's mother nodded immediately. “Yes, I will take you to him once you are d
Olivia's POV I came conscious to the sound of hushed voices around me. Confused, I forced my eyes open, and the first thing that came into view was the white ceiling. Then I turned sideways and met Sonia’s worried but relieved eyes. “Olivia, you’re awake,” she said with relief as she took my hand and gave it a small squeeze. I smiled faintly at her and then shifted my gaze to the other people in the room. The first person I noticed was Adams, his hands shoved into his pockets, wearing a blank expression. But then I saw someone beside him, and my eyes widened silently. It was Alpha Enzo’s mom; I recognized her instantly. Unlike Enzo, she had a relieved look on her face, seemingly grateful to see me. Confused, I swallowed hard and slowly sat up while Sonia helped adjust the pillow behind me. As I darted my eyes around the room, I realized we were in a hospital. Alpha Enzo’s mother stepped forward and stood beside me. I swallowed hard, bracing myself for her to lash out or yell
