Chapter 37 - Failed dinner
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Oliver POV:
I have no fucking appetite, I can cut the tension in the room with a knife, for what it counts. My mother is not sparing a glance my way, she is focused on finishing her food while my mind is racing with dire scenarios, one more horrendous than the other.
She knows that she has the upper hand in this, the Council is her baby, she rules upon it with an iron hand and she is used to get things done her way.
“Tell me that she isn’t your mate!” She demands finally breaking the uncomfortable silence, setting aside the cutlery.
“That wouldn’t change the fact that she is.” I confess confronting her. “Or that you can’t do anything about it.” I growl.
She dissolves into a dark laughter, making me wonder when did she become this person I see in front of me right now. For as sure as hell she wasn’t always like this. I should have paid more attention to her after my father’s death. Th

Oliver POV:“MOTHER!” I snarl. “I know exactly what you are trying to do! You are not even planning to set a trial in motion, you are trying to put a target on her head! You know that she will be in danger if my enemies find out that she is my mate!”This was the reason why I kept her existence well hidden, the same reason why I fought against my wolf that wanted to mark her from the start, he is still pissed at me, blaming me for everything.I’m well aware that I would not be able to conceal the fact that my mate is a human forever, I just wanted some time to prepare her, to give a heads up to my pack and start strategizing.But she was taken and I had no fucking time, I was too busy looking for her. And after I found her, she is in danger once again.“Well, if you know what harm awaits her, why don’t you protect her, son? You can do it so easy by rejecting her, no?” She insists, not letting go. &ldq
Taming the Ruthless AlphaĀ Ā Ā Chapter 39 - Little lamb
Melora POV: And he is off again, passed out. Who knew that my son could look so peaceful sleeping like this? It almost seems as if he is not a huge pain in my ass. Killian warned me that this might happen if Oliver exerts himself attempting to remember everything. The effect is even stronger if the memory is imprinted in all his senses. Forgetting about oneās mate is more than a powerful alpha can handle, or so it appears. His wolf is under the spell too, Sandra made great efforts, she is indeed a powerful witch. From where she draws her powers is really not my problem. As a mental note, I should thank Killian for all his kindness, though making his daughter Oliverās bride would probably suffice. I steal another glance at Oliver and step out of his room, itās time to pay a visit to the little lamb. A smirk creeps on my lips as I take the stairs that lead to the sinister dungeons and Iām even more satisfied as I watch the girl passed ou
Taming the Ruthless AlphaĀ Ā Ā Chapter 40 - Inner struggle
Kylie POV: I donāt understand anything, one minute I was talking to his mother, the other guards came and dragged me to a remote location, even chained me, as if I were some sort of animal. Or some sort of criminal. I guess that in his motherās eyes I have committed a great sin, the sin to fall madly in love with her son. Even I am aware that he is out of my league, I would have never pursued him first, for what it matters, he pursued me. This location is not very different from the cell I was before, just that here I am all alone, Mark was left behind, only God knows what dreadful plans she has in store for me, Iām afraid to even imagine. What will happen with me? If Oliver doesnāt remember me, then Iām doomed to a tragic ending, I have no one else I could count on. I lean against the cell, too exhausted to care anymore, too tired to even cry. At least here I have windows, even though they have bars, I can breathe some fresh air, it

Oliver POV:I continue to stare at her without saying anything, all I can think about is that she is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.She gazes at me as if she cannot believe her eyes, strong emotions obviously displayed over her goddess features. The moment tears start streaming down her face, I feel a strong tug in my chest, my wolf howls in pain inside.What is this reaction I’m experiencing?My body is acting on its own, I can’t help but extend a hand through the iron bars to wipe a tear from her cheeks. The second our skin connect, electrifying shivers are spreading through my figure like wildfire through the forest.Air leaves my lungs as she finally snaps out the trance she seemed to be lost into and calls my name.“Oliver, you came! I was so afraid that she did something to you!” She grabs a handful of my hair and pulls me, her moist lips reaching mine through the bars.Time slows d

Oliver POV:I can’t get her out of my mind, every time I fucking close my eyes, her image is haunting me, her beauty one that can turn even a saint into a sinner.She did something to me, my mind and my heart are fighting each other, all this for one of those weaklings I’ve always despised, a mere human. It’s safe to say that what affected me most were her innocent eyes, she seemed so miserable that I could almost feel her pain just by looking at her.Mother was acting weird too, and the dreadful acts she accused the human of completing, they didn’t seem plausible. How can I human hold power to control demon wolves? Even we had trouble containing them the last time, there were lots of victims, my father included.No, something seems fishy, but I will make sure to find out everything later today. I’m actually very anxious for that show, this is a first. What I usually find attractive in the events we are hosting is the crowd o

Kylie POV: He was right, they did give me something, that booster. Donāt think for a second that they asked for my opinion, they just poured the damn drink down my throat. And after that, they took my competitor away, leaving me scared to the point I thought Iād go crazy. Some women came in and dressed me in a tank top and shorts, the fabric looking like an armor of golden color, with a matching pair of boots and a helmet. If not for the life and death situation, I would have thought I look kind of cool, the golden outfit looking lovely against my tanned skin. At least youād die pretty, Kylie! I wasnāt even able to catch my breath before they threw me on the stage, in the middle of the arena. My heart is racing in my chest, I feel like Iām on the brink of having a heart attack as I scan my surroundings. Such a great crowd came to witness my miserable death. But nothing prepared me for the stabbing pain of betrayal that

Kylie POV: Iāve mentally prepared for the pain I was suppose to feel, and I relaxed myself in his embrace. Whenever I am in his arms, I feel that I can concur the world, this is the kind of power he has over me, over my body. My eyes closed, my heart pounding erratically in anticipation for whatever was supposed to happen. I trusted him, I will always trust him. He gripped my shoulders and held me in place, leaned his mouth over my neck, then something sharp dug deep into my skin. I suppressed the groan that was forming in my throat, I didnāt want him to feel guilty for hurting me. It was nothing I imagined, the pain lasted for a few seconds, and after those seconds passed, my body was overwhelmed with incredible pleasure, I almost could not handle it. Whatever he did, it delivered me straight to the kingdom of heaven, itās safe to say that Iāve never felt this way before, itās probably a one in a lifetime sensation. It was addi

Oliver POV:I could feel the anger radiating out of my mother and Killian from a long distance, they were the first to leave the arena. Everyone else expressed avid interest in the show we put in stage, by marking a human girl I gained their undivided attention, which I’m sure it’s not a good sign.As for me, marking my mate and remembering everything about her, about us, brought life back into my body, I feel complete and my wolf is purring again like a fucking cat, I missed this sensation.“Oliver, do you know anything about Mark?” Kylie asks me, her voice filled with concern.I admit that I forgot about my idiot brother. He was supposed to protect Kylie, but so did I for what it counts, and I failed miserably, anyway, where did he end up?“Last time I’ve seen him, he was in the dungeons with me.” She declares as though she could read my thoughts.Wait! Dungeons?My mother dared to throw my

I felt my own transformation start, my body shifting and contorting as I prepared to defend myself and the woman who I thought was my fated mate.But then she spoke, and I realized that something was off. As strange as it seemed, this woman looked like Kylie, but she wasnāt Kylie. I could tell by the way she moved, by the way she smelled. She didnāt have my mateās heavenly scent.Just as the werewolf was about to lunge, she called out a name. The werewolf stopped mid-air, its body contorting and shifting until it was no longer a beast, but a man. He looked at her with wonder and awe, and I could feel the tension dissipate from the air.As they locked eyes, I could feel the connection between them. It was like a bond that could not be broken, a bond forged by fate. I could see the lo

Alpha Killian POV:āWhat did you do, Sandra? Why did you leave my daughter to the demon wolves? Are you out of your fucking mind?ā I snap at the damn witch, squeezing her shoulders in a way that Iām aware it will leave a bruise. If something were to happen to my precious daughter, I would kill her mercilessly. Everything I did was for Kendra, and I would never endanger her like this witch did.NEVER.To be honest, what she said earlier hurt me. She even declared that she wished for me to be dead instead of her weakling mother. I only tried to protect her legacy, enhance her power and authority. I know itās not her fault, I donāt blame her. Clearly, that mate of hers brainwashed her. Why did the Moon Goddess mocked me by pairing my daughter with that good for nothing omega?I hope he gets killed by the demon wolves. This way I would get rid of him once and for all, and with him out of the picture, Kendra will be forced to follow my guidance. An odd feeling of panic surges through my

Oliver POV:I slam my fist into the nearest wall, I don’t give a fuck about Killian’s return. I should have spent more time with Kylie, instead of worrying that the bastard arrived home. I should have shared with her all the information that I have gathered.I sigh deeply trying to calm my raging nerves, at least I had the chance to hold her in my arms again, to know that she is safe, but now… Now I’m left with gut-wrenching pain in the pit of my stomach and a desire to kill everyone that stands in my way.“Oliver!” Kendra casts me a reprimanding glare. “We need to leave. Now!”“No! I know that he’s your father, but if he had anything to do with Kylie disappearance, I’m going to fucking rip him into pieces, Kendra!”“You will do no such thing, Oliver! Compose yourself, dammit! There are too many things at stake, we need a strategy, and you’re acting on your i

Kylie POV: I blink nervously as I stare at her in utter disbelief. I might have avoided studying her intensely until now, as her mood swings frightened me, yet I can still register the changes in her appearance. A knot forms in my stomach, her long black hair that she used to wear in curls is not dark nor wavy anymore, but covered in ash shade highlights. Her eyes the color of the sky turned almost silver. Cold, metallic, focused. And there is something more. My heart drops from my chest when recognition dawns on me, she resembles someone. She resembles me. As if we were family. Sisters. Well that would be highly unlikely, as she was trapped here for one thousand years. But maybe we do have some sort of connection? Oliver said he has some information to share with me, yet our connection broke suddenly. āThe way you used to look has changed.ā I did my best to talk normally, with only a hint of curiosity i

Kylie POV: My heart stops in my chest, am I imagining things? Is this real? I blink nervously trying to breathe less and avoid making a sound, I have to know if Iāve heard right or if my brain decided to play cruel tricks on me. āKylie, baby, can you hear me?ā Oliverās husky voice is penetrating my mind, calling out to my soul and driving my heart to jump from my chest out of enthusiasm. A tingling sensation is quick to spread through my body. My soul is like an ocean, tumultuous and raging with the need to feel him near me, touch his skin. Itās not even sexually my need, more like an affectionate kind of way. āBaby!?ā His voice once again is destroying my composure, it holds strong emotions, love, longing and despair and it hits me in the depth of my soul. I might be going crazy, but even so, I want to believe that this is happening, that I didnāt obsess to the point that I started hearing things.

Oliver POV:“So you’re working with Killian! I should have known! Did he demand you to trick Kylie? To trick me?” My blood is reaching boiling point, I have to fight the urge to beat him to death.Slow and cruel, painful death. I would have killed the motherfucker the moment I registered his presence, if not for the fact that I might get information out of him. I don’t care what methods I'll be forced to use, I’ll break him. In fact, the more violent, the better. I am dying to burn up some steam, my wolf agrees with me completely.“She is such a gentle soul, she trusted you blindly! I trusted you and you betrayed me!” I punch him in the liver, and it takes all the willpower in the world to stop at just that.No, never mind, I throw another punch to his face, and next thing I hear is his nose cracking. He had it coming and better be grateful that I have some self control left.“Oliver!” Ken

Motherfucker!Even more mystery.“What’s wrong?” Kendra asks, dissecting me as if she’s trying to penetrate my mind and suck the information out.“This fucking design, it was on Kylie’s pendant. The one that Jasper gave her, the one with the compass inside, the same compass that guided her to the land of the damned.”She studies the design with interest, recognition dawning on her, or so it seems.“Ohh! Now that I delve into it, I’ve seen it before, a long time ago.”“Where?” I grab her shoulders and squeeze them roughly, until I notice Blake fuming as ready to engage. I let go of her. “Sorry!” I mutter.

Oliver POV:Nothing. We got absolutely nothing.I swear I’m losing my fucking mind and I don’t know what to do or whom to ask for help. The ones that I can request assistance from are already here, by my side.I have no witch acquaintances beside that Sandra, and she vanished along with Killian in the blink of an eye, leaving me with no choice other than to presume they are involved somehow. In fact, I’m sure they have some connection with everything that’s happening.Then there is Blake. I can tell that he is more than what meets the eye, but I have no idea how to reach him. I am surprised that he didn’t show up by himself for I’m convinced the news about my mate being lost has already spread like wildfire through the forest. He helped her before, won’t he help her now as well?I’m inwardly screaming in frustration, it’s already been a fucking day, what if something happened to her?No n
