OLIVIA'S POVHow do I explain this ?There was always something that eventually killed aWitch or warlock.Irrationality. Being lost in the underworld during an Astral projection. A penchant for Black magic.I was beginning to that mine was My family. My Trigger-happy and blood thirsty family.I stared around at the table that still carried an aura of shock and the colour of blood. My father was wiping the knife he had just used with a white napkin as the whole environs around the table and entire house looked tensed.The dead body of the guard was pulled out by another who didn't spare anyone at the table a look as he dragged out leaving a long trail of blood in a diagonal Lin across the costly white tiles.The guard had made a costly mistake of bringing father's phone to the table while it was ringing and had interupted what he was about to say. He had then in rage of not remembering turned and thrust the knife into belly."Hold the son of a bitch." He had barked at the other guards
NATHANIEL POVThere was a saying among us, when you want to fall in love do it in tiny bit and not from a very high distance so you wouldn't have your heart broken.It was crap saying this and I wouldn't have believed in it if I had not experienced it on my own.I watched as Jean dialed the number the third and she still wasn't picking."Did you tell her I would be here?" I asked ."Yes I did Jean answered, I am just worried she is not picking." Jean grimaced."Well, I guess she is not so keen on seeing me then." I said looking disappointed."How so?” she said as adding some ice to my glass.“It was pretty annoying.” I said , "First she doesn't call now she is aware I am around and she is shying away, isn't it so glaring to see." I said and gave a look that showed I had never been so disappointed in my life .Alexis sees the look on face and shares the worry, he was not so used to seeing me act this way over a lady and if I did it meant this lady actual was the world to me.Alex
NATHANIEL’s POVThe name "Dennis" sparked something in my memory, I looked toward Alexis and could that he was trying to recollect the name same as I was.I tried to think back at the name, not believing I had forgotten it.Then it stuck in my head, Dennis!. How could forget that name that was linked to a outrageous sorcery. I needed to be sure anyways I was just not concluding in baseless facts so I turned to Jane ." Are you telling me Olivia is a witch?" I asked hoping deep within me I was wrong and was only confusing the name with another or probably it was an entirely different Dennis . There is no god-damned way I would have fucked a witch without knowing it.I could see the worry in Alexis eyes as he toward his direction, I could tell he was thinking by the same thing as well."Yeah, she is ." Jane answered and looked at us two puzzled probably trying to figure out how we had come to that conclusion.I ran my hands through my already ruffled hair, not wanting to believe I ha
OLIVIA POVI stared at the eyesore poster on the wall that had been hanging for as long as I could remember.Mother had complained about it on several occasions but I just wouldn't take it down, not just yet.It was boring being without a phone for the past two days since my father broke the screen to my last, I had ran up the stairs after dinner and cried myself to sleep that very night.It was funny how nauseous I am feeling off late, it had started quite early yesterday morning. The nauseous . The fever. The weight gain. All that been becoming more noticeable this days least to forget my insatiable appetite.It was a good thing mother hadn't noticed as I was sure she would have been asking probing questions, trust mother's.The sudden illness reminded me I hadn't seen my period for the month. I counted my fingers and stared at the calendar and saw I was two days late.I shrugged one of my shoulders, considering it normal to get late periods due to my heightened hormonal imbalance
NATHANIEL POVI had just one way of relieving stress apart from smoking and alcohol and that for me was kick boxing.I spent the next one week at the gym training three hours a day, hoping that would be able to burn out the excess energy that was building up from tension and maybe anger.My days started with a run just before the sun is fully risen across the sky, a few runing and hill climbing and then a three hour gym session.The evening ended when I did another long run and then I settled for my smoke and drink.At the gym, I practiced sparing with one of my Beta's he was a good fighter as much as I was but it always ended with me kicking his ass.It started with us throwing light punches, I had wanted Andrew not to hold back but instead hit me with the best punches he had. He did he gave me a good one that sent my head into reset as I cheered him on.I wanted Andrew to hit every single memory of her out of my head.We circled round ourselves again as we threw light punches. I
OLIVIA'S POVWas I pregnant?The shock of the word itself drained out every other sense of will and purpose I had.Jane couldn't possibly be right, but if there was going to be anyone with more experience at stuff like this it would most definitely be Jane.Jane of course has not gotten pregnant herself but she worked as an intern in a hospital so she most definitely knows stuff like this, if Jane was saying I was pregnant then that definitely has to be the case, I most definitely was.It would be shameful to be as a young woman that I hadn't recognised the symptoms. Everything had been there so glaring apart from my late cycle.I had been putting on a bit more weight lately, the tone of my skin was becoming paler, I pushed up my sweater to check my nipples and could see it had become darkened as well."Dammit" I thought to myself. I looked at the other me in the mirror and she gave me a displeasing look to show how bad it was in the bigger picture.If she was looking at me this way
OLIVIA'S POVSunlight creeped through the window of the hospital lighting it up as intern's and nurses moved to and fro.I could perceive an antiseptic scent that came with hospitals and twitched my nose at it.A trolley was pushed out in an emergency and doctor's intern's rushed out to help push an almost lifeless man in while covering his nose with oxygen.I heaved deeply at the sight as Jane came back to join me where I was standing with a tag in her hand.Jane was off duty today but she had come along with me and been the one to give me a form to click, we sat while listening to a short talk about maternity care and for a minute I felt drawn deep into the talk of what it would look like to be a mother.I waited till my name was called hoping the dark shades I had brought with me did well to hide my identity."Olivia Dennis."I looked up at the nurse that called my name, I stared at her name tag "Samantha Martinez.""Alright, come with me." She said as she walked through the hal
OLIVIA'S POVThe next few minutes went very emotional for me, in-between my decision of keeping the child and the array of confusion and anxiety I broke down into a brief moment of tears and when I was done, the dustbin close to us was filled with used tissue with another box still in my hands.It was a good thing I had my good friends around at this moment, my head was nestled on Jane's shoulder as Mike walked back with a bottle of water at room temperature."Olivia, you have to get yourself together." Jane said as soon as Mike reached us."Is she still crying?" Mike asked.I sniffed my nose and wiped my hands with a tissue before discarding it and taking the water from his hands. I looked at my two favorite friends from one person to the other and muttered a thank you.I looked around the room for the first time since I walked out."Did I embarrass you guys?" I asked with a concerned look on my face."Us?" Mike sounded amused . "You did a good job embarrassing yourself." Mike said.
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
