AUSTIN’S P.O.V
We 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.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
UNKNOWN’S P.O.V“I regretted it! I regretted it terribly! Stealing from the poor…I didn’t know that he would find out and now I am on the run, hopefully I can get away…” I packed all my necessary belongings as fast as I could, sweat beaded on my forehead. Every second counted as I took quick glances at the clock. I sighed in relief, he didn’t find me as yet! I zipped up the backpack and headed for my front door…maybe I would get away with this…maybe I can survive this!However, as soon as I opened my front door that thought disappeared. About 7 or 8 black cars surrounded my house forming a semi-circle which I could not escape. Men in black suits and dark glasses stood in front of the cars, each one of them held a gun which pointed in my direction. But it wasn’t them that scared me…it was the unarmed man in the middle who made my palms sweaty and the hair in the back on my neck stand on ends! It was
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI just put on my second heel when I heard a hoot outside. Getting up from the dressing stool, I grabbed my purse and the next thing I knew was that I was on the floor. I groaned in pain then took out my phone and called my best friend.“Hey Dawn, can you come inside? I think I am going to be a while. Oh and come up to my bedroom, I need your help.” I said. “What’s wrong now? I told you to be ready by 6” she moaned, throwing herself on my bed, her gold sparkling dress was just long enough to cover her buttocks. “I was ready but these shoes are useless” I complained, holding the shoes in my hand. Lifting her head up to see what I was complaining about, “The shoes are useless?” she asked in a sarcastic voice. “Yes, they dropped me down and now I have to change my whole outfit” I tossed the shoes to the side and headed towards my closet. “Well, I guess that it’s better in a w
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Morning sweetheart” my dad greeted as he joined me for breakfast. “Morning dad,” I said, playing around with my food rather than eating it. “Something on your mind?” he asked, noticing my stance. “Brad and I broke up last night” I informed him, but that wasn’t what was bothering me. “Hmmmm, Liv, we have more important things to bother about rather than Brad, besides it’s not like he came from a wealthy family,” he said, cold-heartedly. “I don’t understand how you could be so mean at times” my words came out in irritation. “Liv, honey, I am not being mean, I am just worried about your future,” he said and let out a heavy sigh. “Liv, I haven’t told you this because I thought that everything would be alright. I thought that we were just going through a phase. Sailing through such rough waters, I thought that our ship was just rocking according t
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“I would invest 40million Euros in your business, Mr. Nightingale” Mr. Hunter offered my father an amount which was three times what we needed. “40 million Euros? That’s a very big amount Mr.Hunter and I am very grateful for your gratitude but what percentage of the profits would you take if you are willing to invest 40 million euros, Mr.Hunter?” my father’s face lit up with hope but he was still very wary. Something seemed wrong and I knew that my father sensed it too. “Oh no, Mr. Nightingale, have enough money to buy the entire world if I want to, but what fun would that be? Mr. Nightingale, in return for this 40 million I would take something much more valuable from you” he said, looking at me with his piercing Egyptian blue eyes. I know that I shouldn’t be but I couldn’t help but feel more attracted to him. “And what would that be?” my father asked a lump of fear in this thr
OLIVIA’S P.O.VAfter many hugs and tears, I kissed my father goodbye, took a deep breath and headed towards the door. I turned around one last time to see his watery eyes and a reassuring smile. I looked at our house for the last time, the memories of my childhood playing in my mind, so much laughter, so much joy, sooo many memories of my mother, father and I, all being left behind as I make this sacrifice to enter the next chapter of my life.Outside awaited a Limo to pick me up, it was very similar to the one that my father and I often traveled in, but it was not. This was sent by Austin Hunter, he wanted to make sure that I don’t get lost on the way and waste his ‘precious’ time. I rolled my eyes thinking about how egotistically he spoke last night.I felt stupid and weak, although I knew that the man is arrogant and too fond of himself for my liking…I was still head over heels about him. I know that I am going there as his empl
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI woke up from my deep sleep with a gentle touch across my face. Looking around me, I couldn’t tell who it might have been. “Ah, good you are awake, we are about to land,” Keith said to me. “Is it morning already?” I asked, still in a sleepy mood, I yawned and stretched. “Finally we are home,” Austin said, he seemed relieved to be back. The plane began to land and I held on tightly to my seat, this is the part that always has me scared, I’m okay during take-off and while we are in the air but landing feels like crushing to me. “Scared?” Austin asked, a wicked smile on his face. I shook my head, agreeing with him. “Don’t worry, you are safe with me. I have to keep you alive, can’t have my 400 million Euro worth secretary dying before she can even start” this is the most words as well as the sweetest thing that he has said to me since we have met. Even during the time when w
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“I have my own dresses you know,” I said politely even though I was irritated. I was irritated with everything, the very pretty bracelet that I had to wear which was actually a tracker, the rules of Stermytina, the fact that I had to wear an evening gown with flats because heels were not allowed on the marble floors. “Well, this is what Mr. Austin Hunter wants you to wear,” Grace said holding up a Barbie pink evening gown. “Well I hate that color and I would not wear that dress! It looks cheap! Did he get it from the dollar store?” I asked, my arms folded against my chest. “I don’t think that Mr. Austin Hunter would be very happy about that,” she said, holding the dress forward, suggesting that I take it from her. “Well, breaking news Grace! My happiness is far more important than his and I would not let him tell me what to wear” I said. “Very well Madam, I just hope that he does not
