OLIVIA'S POV
MY HEART cleft for just one man, and that man happened to be sitting not too far away from where I was.I wanted him in ways I never deemed fit in, in ways I had never wanted anything in my entire life.The fear of losing him had made me seek something even deeper.It had made me be in pursuit of more commitment and with the way things went it looked like something I couldn't stop nor Control, it seemed definite and at the same time absolute.I don't blame the softer side of me that chose to love shamelessly, but the part that came with doubt and all manner of uncertainty and reproach.Desiring him what I wanted but like my past had so much charm on my heart, so much that my future had been stained by it.I was the type of girl that grew up with uncertainty, and had lacked anyone to trust over my years of living; it has in a way affected the way I viewed life and my general Outlook of it. I wasOLIVIA'S POV“Are you serious about what you just told me?” I grimaced.Jane was there standing in front of me with what seemed like the biggest gossip I would ever listen to.As much as she could be saying the truth, I didn't want to believe it as well, how could I?It was a week after, Nate and I had one of our little fights and since after he apologized, things had been going on well with us, but I wouldn't want to believe the bit of information I was hearing from Jane and not my supposed husband.“You mean Alexis told you?” I asked again just to be sure while trying to slow down the pace of my heart that was going at the speed of light.She shook her head.” He didn't as well. I guess both men wanted to keep it secret.”I didn't like going into details when I was angry and disappointed, but things like this needed absolute attention, and I didn't know how to drive myself away from that fact as I ran everything she had said again in my mind.How can he-?As a matter of fact, how can
OLIVIA'S POV Where were my premonitions? Where were those vivid dreams and far-away visions when I needed them the most. The two had totally not paid off on this occasion, if Nate had been a wizard or warlock I would have said he had concealed what was about to happen from me but he was neither of these things, he was just a normal Werewolf. Still I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I had been oblivious about them wanting to go back to the pack after bringing it up several times and it was turned down by me. This could have easily fallen under those weird dreams, and was a bad one when I thought of it. Time skipped as if I was dreaming as we waited for the men who had since arrived in the hallway, I felt my muscles become tensed up as a sigh escaped me. I could feel every synapse of my brain being totally driven out in rage as I thought of a way to deal with the whole situation that included an up
OLIVIA'S POV THE Words kept replaying at the back of my mind and with each moment I felt my soul slip away from within my grips, as much as I tried to replay his words I left in a feeling I had gotten so used to fear and anxiety every bit of it. Why wouldn't he just let us be? This thought kept coming to my mind over and over again, I paced the length of the room after getting the bag ready. Deep down in my mind I had a feeling it doesn't justify the fact he had said nothing about it beforehand, I could understand he did everything under short notice but still there was no Justification for what he did at the same time. I told myself it was my other side that was at the verge of panic that was speaking, I walked out of the room and looked around for a while. The room had been boring anyways ever since he walked out a couple of minutes ago, so my walk outside was mostly to clear my head if not anything more.
OLIVIA'S POV "SO we move tomorrow?" The rest of his voice drowned away with the sound of waves. In a funny way the wind had come in but hard that evening and we couldn't fly, a part of me wanted to blame my father and point accusing fingers at him but then I remembered how much a price you have to pay to control the weather and trust me it was more of a price to pay for even a high grader witchcrafter like my father. I let the thought out of my mind and watched as it slipped away with the ocean current. At least I had one more day to tell the bay of Hawaii good night. At the back of my mind was his last words: There is one more thing I have to do. It was enough to notice that Alexis and Jane had stepped and I thought it had something to do with their apartment kind of or what else Could possibly be the difference I tried thinking… Soon as he walked back to the patio toward where I was cradling a slee
OLIVIA'S POV As we got out of the car, my gaze pinned him with insistence, as every question that had been with me melted away into one single heartbeat that came out of my heart with a loud thud. In a way I had managed to slip into the black dress, till then I had noticed how dressed up he was, I had been overwhelmed by my anger and anxiety that I had not noticed how properly he was well dressed. "Who are we expecting?" I asked. He chuckled at my comment, and all I could do was smile as I headed outside, lifting my skirts and watching my feet as I carefully made my way out of the car down the shore of the ocean. I was chastising my heart for beating so loudly, beating in such a way that I was certain he could hear every single one of it from where he was. "Really, I need to know what is all this about?" I turned to him asking. "Why don't you wait to find out." He muttered. Curiosity has always
OLIVIA'S POVOUR story was just about starting…Those words got everything that had to do with me, and he didn't even need to express more than he didI could understand every bit of what he was trying to say, the gravity behind his weighing words in the depth of my mind.If I was thinking this would be the end of everything then I was most definitely wrong as the end seemed far away.Almost like the stars in the sky as we sat aboard the plane the next night flying back home.A lot appeared to have changed over that cause of time and at the same time, so many things were left unchanged by time.I felt the cold air breeze past us as we made way past the border, in a way I still felt tipsy from everything as all I and Nate had been doing since after the wedding was having sex all day and drinking our asses off.At that moment I was so tipsy that I would have exchanged alcohol for water.I was never one that drank too much as it tends to loosen my tongue, to the point I feared what I wo
NATHANIEL'S POVTwo days later…Everyone desires a sense of belonging, and in a way, I could understand everything from her perspective.It was a natural desire by everyone—A desire by every man to know he is wanted and desired at any given point.It was not the same for my wife and the mother of my child, Olivia —As she seemed to be missing that extra piece that fitted her rightfully into the pack.I could sense every bit of it from her reaction, the truth was I was filled with anxiety as well, I was filled with it, but it was the last thing I would have loved to display for her to see.There was this fear for her acceptance, her survival, and succession in the pack, and If I had thought the answers to those questions would come quickly I was definitely wrong.I had been standing in my personal living room in the castle, and no one had called yet to ask about the mysterious woman bearing my mark on her left neck and a baby who appeared not to be pure blood.Of course, they had looked
BRIANNA'S POV I don't know how he did it but each time he kissed me I felt different on each and every, it seemed as though he had learnt the mastery of my lips, the way he nibbled on it slowly taking his time to adore each as my soul was enveloped into his. With his heartbeats against mine, it felt like we could do that all day, kiss till all that was left of our souls was emptiness floating far away into the wayward wind as we were obsessed with ourselves- Till we both can't exist by ourselves rather than till we coexist into one body, despite sharing different souls. Soon I lost my fear of someone walking in on us, I lost my fear of having to deal with the whole of his pack. All I wanted at that moment was Nathaniel and him alone. He filled in those spaces in my heart that were filled with doubts, fear and anxiety. Ugh…He sounded when I bit his lips a bit as he tasted red, looking deep into his eyes all I could se
NATHANIEL POV.It was written in the stars that all of this would happen, meeting Olivia falling in love, running …but at times in life, there is always a twist .That twist—that moment when the unexpected happens and this was just that point in life.When Jane had told us everything, it was shocking to everyone that had listened.I could never have been more proud about this period in time, this time when for once in the race we had an upper hand.Her father was never going to see one coming—Wizard, Warlock or whatever he is—this was beyond what would ever happen.The moon glowed upon us full in all its glory overhead from where we stood. It was the moment we had been waiting for all this while as we trooped out.Two vans drove behind the SUV that was driven by the only one among us that had a sound mind —Alexis.To Her father her was leading me to right where he wanted, but that plan had been turned in my favor and was coming right after him."Take the right turn." Jane leaned in o
OLIVIA'S POVI reopened my eyes again, realizing I was still in this place. What exactly do they want from me? They took my son, now they are doing the same thing to me.I was tied against a chair and I tried hard to fight against the ropes used to tie me tightly. I didn't even have an inch to move my hands from the position it has been tied, the way the rope was tied so tightly.I looked around and realized the room was still the same way, dark with someone sitting at the corner. I gritted my teeth as I saw him sitting there, looking at me with an evil smirk on."So you're finally awake again." He said and I acted like I didn't even see him there. It was obvious he wasn't the one behind this. I can't believe the oh so mighty him was working for someone.It would be believable if I didn't know the kind of man he was. He must have something to gain in return. I heard the creaking sound of the door and I looked at the door.A feminine figure stepped into the room and for once I didn't w
NATHANIEL'S POVThe Good thing about everything was that it touched me in a way that I had never been touched and changed me.It changed my mindset and everything that came with it and left me with this insane mind.I paced around the room, my footsteps hard across the floor. My mind was not in the right frame to think straight. I paced back and forth the parameters of the room, Olivia had always talked about auras and I had taken it as a joke on those few occasions.But not this time…The whole aura was telling me Something was not right, I could feel it.I had taken my wolf on a run twice, pacing the wood in my half animal state but all that had done for me was to increase incessantly the pace at which my heart was going at.How could I deal with all of this?How could I deal with the madness that was roaming through my mind?I had gotten this feeling twice in my entire life: The night my father died and the night we trailed Olivia and Jane.Staring out at the vastness of the univer
OLIVIA'S POVFar away from home, in the gutter and slumps of the underworld I could feel my shoulder retracting back into my body, slowly I gained consciousness again looking round at the now empty room.One would hear my heart beat even from a mile away.I felt a sharp pain from somewhere in my head and as I reached instinctively to where I felt the pain was coming from, I noticed I was restrained.Fuck…I had done everything without thinking venturing into this place that was enough to be called a den of death, it was frustrating for me as well as other things that were roaming through my mind.Naive…that was what I felt like, a part of me wished I had told him before leaving but I knew what he would have said, he most probably would have said something about us waiting and acting later.I didn't have that much patient in me, and in a way it had resulted in this.I tried to get away from the chair but saw that my father or perhaps one of his guards had done a good job with the rope
OLIVIA'S POVI felt like dying at this point, knowing that my son was out there in the hands of a monster.Who knows what they're doing to him? Is he being tortured? What do they want? Why haven't they asked for ransom yet?This is getting scarier than ever and it's so unfortunate that I can't do anything to salvage this matter."Hey, you have to calm yourself down, take it easy on yourself, our son would return safely into our hands" Nathaniel uttered as he placed his hands on my shoulders."You seem so sure about it, heads up first we don't know who took our son, secondly we don't know where he is, thirdly the police we called haven't found him yet? And lastly we don't know what the poor lad is going through in the hands of those monsters...." I stood up, red hot in my anger and I cared less about who I was venting it out on."You have to be calm" Nathaniel was getting me pissed with his solicitous behavior and it was getting on my last nerves."Don't you make mention of that word a
NATHANIEL'S POVI had just spoken to the detectives and came down to only one conclusion: men do feel pain.A very intense pain.Whoever said real men don't feel pain needed to be rechecked cause I could feel every bit of it at this moment.It was a more devastating period for me as a father as much as it was for my mother as the term manhood doesn't signify my inability to feel this much painI never hated in my life but at that moment I felt a kind of hatred for anyone that caused me this much pain.They said hate changed the whole outlook of someone’s, it made them ruthless, it made them bitter, It made them reckless.Hate killed its host but by bit slowly consuming it's soul till nothing was left of the person but in spite of all this I couldn't bring myself to come to terms with not hating the culprit.It could consume my soul for all I know, but I didn't care, I had never let myself hate because I loved to live but when it came down to deciding if I was to lay down my life fo
NATHANIEL'S POVI don't know who it was that took Neil but he must have had something to do with someone on the inside, if not, the culprit wouldn't be able to get in.Neil's room was one of the most secured in the whole building and the fact that someone was able to come in and kidnap my son without any of those foolish guards noticing?They should all rot in the pit of torture …there was a chance I would give them a chance to speak but definitely not now.The rules were I was going to give them a chance to explain themselves on how this ever happened in front of the council and if found guilty then their mates would never hear from them again."Alpha…" Alexis was about to call out to me but I shut him up with a death glare and he gulped gently before continuing his speech. "The guards on duty are already tied up."I looked back at Olivia who was now sitting with Jane s next to her and consoling her.I wanted to assure her that Neil was fine but she wouldn't believe till she saw
OLIVIA'S POVA cold sweat drifted through me. Disaster loomed in the distance and there was nothing I could have done to avert it and now it was here, settling right here and leaving me with the most complicated feeling.It was an hour counting and despite sweating and feeling the whole heat, we had not still been able to reverse the spell.More blood trickled down the nose of another young boy. Young, lifeless eyes. As he laid in the ground dead.It wasn’t going to happen again…I pulled myself out of the seat where I had been sitting criss-crossed and headed toward the frontof the house, ignoring the itch to go in the opposite direction.I felt the need to get closer to him before I could try the magic one more time, my body buzzed with a cool sensation showing that I had more energy.My bare feet paused at the end of the walkway.I stood there for a while soaking in the pressurewhile my heart beat a mile a minute.Jane walked toward where I was in the middle of the room, When my
OLIVIA'S POVFear.I had always asked myself what my biggest fear in life would be and most of the times, I had gotten no answers to my questions.Maybe it was a way of life trying to redirect my thoughts, or perhaps I was scared of the actual truth.It was all down to fear—Fear to admit the truth that of all things I feared most in this life, making the top of the list was losing a loved one..I could take every single form of pain but definitely not that, there was no way I could deal with it and so at that moment.The moment I had opened the door to my baby room and found it empty I was consumed by a murderous type of fear.One that came nibbling right at my soul leaving nothing behind.A piercing shriek filled the room and I wondered whose was it, I was dumbfounded so I guess the scream was not from me.I stood there unable to move or say a word as it looked to me like it was all a type of dreak and I was right in the middle of it all.The sound of my voice kepr playing back iny h
