OLIVIA’S P.O.V
‘“Olivia” I heard a voice call me in the darkness. I couldn’t see a thing but I knew that someone was with me yet I still felt safe. “Olivia” I heard the voice again. “Who are you? Where are you?” I asked. “I am inside of you! You need to let me out! You are in danger!!!” the voice said, this time HER words scared me. “What do you mean that you are inside me? How do I let you out?” I asked. “Let me out Olivia!” the voice yelled. “but how?” I asked again. “OLIVIA!!!” I heard the woman scream’
I woke up drenched in sweat and panting. Looking at the clock by the nightstand I saw that it was a few hours till morning. I got out of bed and poured myself a glass of water. I stood by the window sill and looked out at the empty field. My dream was different this time, but it always meant something in the past so there is no doubt that it means s
AUSTIN’S P.O.VI rested my eyes for a bit while on our private jet as we flew from Stermyer to New York. “Wake up,” Keith said, shaking me. “I haven’t slept for days. Why are you waking me up? Have we landed as yet?” I asked. “No, not yet,” he said, looking down at a few papers that he had in his hand. “Are we about to land?” I asked him, a bit annoyed. “Nope…we still have a few hours before we land,” he said. “Then why did you wake me up???” I asked, really annoyed with him. “To run our plan with you,” he said and I sat up straight, being attentive. “Okay, go for it” I permitted him. “As soon as we land we are going to go to the detective's office, I’ve made arrangements with the head detective so that we can have a look at all of the evidence that was found at the crime scene. I also made arrangements with an estate agent so that we can go snoop aro
AUSTIN’S P.O.VKeith and I stayed at the house that I just bought and all I could think of was Olivia. We spent the entire night going through everything and looking for some sort of evidence.“Keith, do you think that the killer broke in, or did Olivia’s father open the front door and let him in?” I asked, wondering as I looked at the door. “I don’t know but it would be nice to find out because if he did not make a forced entry then that must mean that he most probably is known to the family,” Keith said. “Yes, if we can figure that out then that would narrow down our search,” I said and Keith and I started inspecting all the entries. “Have you found anything?” Keith shouted from upstairs. “No, nothing at all. You?” I shouted back as I inspected the downstairs. “Nope,” he said, coming back down the stairs. “This must mean that the killer was allowed inside,” Keith sai
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI missed Austin like the desert misses the rain. I can’t stop thinking about him and my heart is broken. I wonder if he is out there looking for me or maybe he has decided to move on. I should have thought before I ran off, I would have rather stayed there in fear than go through all of the pain that I am currently experiencing.“Come in” I called out, hearing a knock on the door. “Hi, Olivia” Cariso said, poking his heading through the small opening of the door. “Cariso, Hi,” I said, jumping up from my sitting position. “Are you busy Liv?” he asked, a warm smile worn on his face. How could I think that this man could be evil when his smile and his eyes are so kind to me, let’s not forget he took me in when he found me dying on the icy snow ground. Humans are looked down upon in the wolf world yet he still saved my life and that too was done before he even knew who I was, so technically he
OLIVIA’S P.O.VMy nightmares have changed into dreams but they are just as reoccurring as before. The same dream over and over again. However that’s the least of my problems, this morning I woke up feeling absolutely ill, and then I spent half an hour in the bathroom vomiting my guts out.At first, I thought that it must have been something that I ate, then I thought that it could actually be all of the stress that I have been going through recently, finally, I realized that I haven’t menstruated this month. Running to check my calendar, I saw that I was in fact 2 weeks late. I’ve never been late before… this could only mean one thing.‘Why now? Gosh…what am I going to do now?’ I held my head and sighed in frustration. I can’t go back to Austin until I find out the truth of what happened to my family and I know that it is somehow connected to this place. How can I leave when I am so close to the truth that
OLIVIA’S P.O.VOnce again I was in the darkness with the same voice that I’ve been hearing over the past few days, calling me and telling me that I need to let her out. She is constantly telling me that I shouldn’t be afraid and that she is here to protect me but she doesn’t tell me how to let her free or who she is. Under normal circumstances, I would have thought that it’s all in my head caused because of stress and exhaustion, but these are not normal circumstances.I woke up in the middle of the night, like I did every other night, covered in my sweat and panting heavily. I wish I knew what these dreams meant, could it possibly be related to my baby since I have only been having these dreams since I fell pregnant. Getting out of bed I suddenly felt extremely thirsty. Going to pour me a glass of water, I was disappointed to find the jug empty. I put on a gown and bedroom slippers before heading downstairs to refill my jug. I was pleased
OLIVIA’S P.O.VToday was another day that I spent alone since Cariso is gone out. I need to use this opportunity to investigate further, there is so much that I need to find out. I need to find out who Cariso really is, I need to find out more about my past, I need to find out what are his intentions regarding me and lastly, I need to find a way out of here.I sneaked around the mansion, exploring each and every floor without being seen. I have to admit that it was kind of fun, but scary at the same time. It kind of reminded me of high school when Dawn and I use to sneak out of class to go to the mall, I was also a naughty spoilt girl, but I never made anyone feel less or showed off. However this was not high school and my father is no longer around to get me out of trouble, neither is this kind of trouble a simple sitting down in the principles office. Austin was dangerous but he looked very sane, Cariso looks dangerous and insane, I don’t want to find out
AUSTIN’S P.O.VIt was a rushed morning as we packed our belongings and headed for the airport. We came all this way, flying for hours only to find a clue that the answers we are looking for are in Europe.“You look lost in your thoughts Austin. Is everything okay? What’s going on in that head of yours?” Keith asked, sitting opposite me on our private jet. “It’s just so much to deal with. The last time we sat in this jet was when we left from New York to go back home. It was Olivia, Jake, you and me. We were happy…well except for Olivia but she was happy afterward. We were together and nothing was missing. But look at us now Keith, there are only 2 of us. My heart is split, Keith. I haven’t had my heart broken before and I don’t know how to deal with it. I go through my days thinking that everything will be okay but at night when my sleep breaks and there is enough silence to listen to my heart, that is when I can h
AUSTIN’S P.O.V“Mum! What happened?” I asked, running to comfort her along with Keith. “He- H -He” she tried to speak but couldn’t stop sobbing. “Who are you talking about, Mum? What has happened? Calm down! Please calm down! Chole, go and get a glass of water for my mother” I ordered one of the servants who was around. She hurried into the kitchen and came back after a few minutes. “Here mum, take a sip” I took the water from Chole and handed it over to my mum. Drinking some of the water, she calmed down enough to speak.“What happened?” Keith and I both asked at the same time. “Your father is not thinking straight at all. He- he- he has turned your brother Jake against you, son” she said, sobbing some more. “What do you mean?” I asked, startled by the news that my own father would be against me. “He wants to take you out from your position and give it to Jake because
AUSTIN’S P.O.V“My loyal men, I am so proud of each and every one of you, you all fought extremely well. I am proud to be your Alpha. We had three days to rest and mourn the death of my beloved brother, but tonight we are going back to Stermyer to claim what is ours” I said proudly and my pack cheered with joy.……The time has come and I walked proudly from the forest back into Stermyer. Those who stayed behind hung their head in shame, I guess they really thought that I surrendered and didn’t expect to see my return.Just like how he took me by surprise, I too knocked on the door of Stermyertina when he least expected it. A few minutes after I knocked, my father opened the door. I loved the look on his face as if he had just saw a ghost, all the blood drained leaving him looking pale. “Austin? Wha-What are you doing here?” he asked. “I’m here because I am the Alpha of Stermyer…I think t
AUSTIN’S P.O.VWe stayed at Cariso’s house, well more like Olivia’s house since it actually belonged to her grandfather before Cariso came and snatched it from him. It’s been three days since we won the battle but I feel like I’ve lost because my brother is dead and my mate hasn’t regained consciousness as yet. We sent a message to the woman and children who left my pack with me and stayed behind in the forest while we fought, asking them to come here and join us,and now the house is full of people.I have been damping Olivia’s forehead with water, keeping her cool when I noticed that her finger twitched. “Olivia?” I called out softly and she groaned. ‘She is waking up!!!’ I thought to myself excitedly. I haven’t really worked out what to say to her as yet, I had enough time but I could not think of the right words. I should apologize for keeping my true identity a secret or not completely acceptin
AUSTIN’S P.O.VWe went to Cariso’s house, however, it was quiet in the front. “Seems like no one is here,” Keith said. “Where could they have gone?” I asked. “Maybe they somehow found out that we are coming tonight so they made a run for it” Keith suggested. “Yeah maybe…they couldn’t have gone far. If we leave now then we might find them on time” I said, walking away. “Wait, Austin! Don’t you hear that?” Keith stopped by. Listening carefully, I heard the growling. “It sounds like there is a fight somewhere,” I said, looking at Keith. “Let’s go check it out,” he said and we followed the noise…It led to the back of the house, near the Garden area. I crept in first, behind me was Keith and behind him were our men. “What’s happening?” Keith whispered.“It’s Olivia, she’s in danger!” I said to Keith
OLIVIA’S P.O.VWearing a pure white dress, I was escorted outside in chains. Six guards walked with me, two behind, two beside and two in front. There where people standing on either side, forming a guard of honour as I was taken towards a stone table, they were dressed in red robes and I assume that they are all Cariso’s pack members. Upon hearing the beating of the drums, fear gripped my heart but I did not flinch, I could feel the vibration of the steady fierce rhythm on the ground that I walked on. I held my head up high, as I tried to put up a brave front but on the inside all I wanted to do was run. However I knew that there was no one to help me right now and if I made a move then I would only be dragged back here, squealing and showing weakness, I wasn’t going to let myself be embarrassed like that…if I had to die tonight I would die full of pride!!! After all I, I still remember who I am, I am the granddaughter of an alpha! I am the daughter
OLIVIA’S P.O.VToday is the day that I was born, normally it was celebrated every year without fail. The year that my mum died, my dad threw me the biggest celebration with a firework display that could be seen throughout New York, he said that my mum would be watching from above and she would be very disappointed if he didn’t do anything special but deep down I knew that he was just doing it so I don’t miss her on my special day.However this is the year when that tradition breaks. My dad is no longer with me to throw a big grand ball and today might just be the day that I take my last breath like I took my first 22 years ago. My heart breaks most for the poor baby that I am carrying inside me, my baby wouldn’t even get to take his first breath or see the world. I know that he has life, I can feel him moving inside me and kicking every now and then…he deserves to live! He deserves a chance! Unfortunately I am not in any position to make
AUSTIN’S P.O.V“What’s bothering you?” my mother asked, watching as I just played around with my dinner instead of eating it. “Oh nothing, I’m just not very hungry,” I said. “Would you kindly excuse me?” I put my fork down and woke up from my chair. “No Austin! You are my son and I know that something is bothering you. Now you can choose to be stubborn and keep it to yourself or you can share your troubles with your brother and me, relieving yourself a bit. But remember if you choose the former rather than the latter, you wouldn’t be the only one not having dinner tonight but both you and I would be going to sleep on an empty stomach. So you choose Austin…” she said sternly, I chuckled a little seeing how she was treating me like a little child once again. “Mum please” I pleaded with her to leave me alone. “Don’t ‘mum please’ me, just tell me what’s wrong&r
OLIVIA’S P.O.VIt’s a week until my birthday and I am still here. Slowly I am losing sight of hope. I don’t know what to do or how to break free from these chains. There is no one to help me and I myself feel helpless.“Don’t give up Olivia, Austin will come” I heard Alexis say. “How do you know that?” I asked. “I have faith in our mate and you should too” She answered. “I hope that you are right Alexis, if not then you know what needs to happen,” I said, referring to the plan that I discussed with her a few days ago.“Taking to your wolf, are you?” Cariso walked in, catching me off guard. “No, my wolf is too weak to talk. I was talking to myself, maybe soon my insanity levels will reach yours” I said. “How feisty? Just like your mother was” he laughed at me. “You still speak about her, reminiscing over the past? No, Cariso you are living in it. You
AUSTIN’S P.O.V .“The girl is here” Keith said, joining me for breakfast. “Which girl? Where?” I asked, looking at him with the most confused look on my face. “Dawn summers. We spoke about it two days ago!” he said, my half buttered toast in my hand as I looked at him just as confused as I was before he provided me with extra information. “The girl who said that she was Olivia’s best friend and wants to help us find her! The girl that wanted to come and stay at Stermyer! The girl that you were so suspicious about! The one that you think is either working for dad or Cariso” Keith half shouted in frustration. “Oh that girl. The one that called you” I suddenly remembered . “Yesss!!! That one! Oh my word Austin, what is going on with you?” Keith asked. “Er, not much except that my elder brother hates me and my mate got so scared of me that she ran away and then possibly got kidna
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Good morning Olivia, guess what… I have your test results” Cariso said, gleaming in front of the bed that I was tied up on. I remained quite as he pulled out a page from a brown A4 envelope. “Hmmmm, that is very interesting” his eyebrows creased as read the results. “Well, Congratulations Olivia. It says here that you are pregnant!!! Oh my word, this is such great news!!! In fact this is the best news that I have got today!!!” he did a little psycho happy dance. “Why are you so happy?” I asked, confused about how my pregnancy would affect him, besides the fact that the situation got more delicate. “Wait! You don’t look as excited as I am! You knew about this didn’t you? You knew this whole time and that is why you didn’t want the doctor here! So tell me, my dear darling Olivia, who is the father?” he asked, a big smile still on his face, he seemed proud of himself as if
