OLIVIA'S POVThere was still the aftermath of the news Mike broke to us as we sat around the ro moping around, if anyone else knew how cruel my father was aside myself it definitely had to be Jane as she had been in the hotel with me when my father had first attacked us.It was a lot more difficult to take it out of our mind even as we sat down to eat that evening, I could hardly feel the taste of the food in my mouth and I had to agree Jane felt the same way too as she played with her spoon scooping a spoonful of cereals before dropping it down again.It was as though we've heard the day we were going to die, yet it had been nothing more than just a bounty placed in our head, to be honest I didn't know my father had it in him to go that far."Did you realize dead or alive was written over our heads?" She asked.I may had paid more attention to the price of the Bounty than other things but now that she was mentioning it I could remember perfectly i had seen something like that, she ha
NATHANIEL'S POVTHE Feeling of moving to a new house in a new part of the country was more than fun and a joy to give to my worried raging heart that had been perfect before Alexis' call came in.Apparently, Jane had called him to give a report about the state of things with them and when I was expecting very minor issues wha i got was a shocker.It was was easy now to see why had ran away from home, with an insane father like that all you had to do was run and nothing more, I had alwaya wondered why she left home at all with all the influence her family had when I did some diggi g back home, at first I had thought I was the reason but with this I knew definitely it had nothing to do with me but her insane father."Alright, I'd get in touch with her." It was most definitely a lie I told myself as there was no way I intended getting in touch with Olivia at that moment.Deep down I still felt a kind of guilt for the way I had treated her, it was in a way I couldn't even figure out, i
NATHANIEL'S POVTHE scent of sex was heavily in the air, so heavy that I succumbed to the temptation I had been trying to avoid over the last couple of days.Her heartbeat was rasp, it was demanding …asking for everything both the one I could give easily and the one I couldn't it was driving me to madness, a madness that had everything to do with fucking her.At that moment I cared less about everything else as I was driving wild by the scent of this Vampire thing of beauty.As I kissed down the nape of her neck I listened as her breath became more rasp, she threw back her head and gave a loud moan that sent even my heart into a crazier mood that demanded everything from her."I would make love to you the way nobody has ever done because there is no way anything or anyone would stop us."That was a promise, and the look in her eyes vowed to fulfill that promise.I didn't give her a reply but kissed her with more energy, savoring the distinct taste of Strawberry from the depth of her w
NATHANIEL’S POVIT WAS the most funny thing I had to do but I did it anyway, I had picked the same hotel I had been in before getting my house .I watched outside my window at the birds flocking round something I couldn't see for the time being unless I leaned in more which I was definitely going to do.They chattered away, whispering beautiful music as they flew past my window, it was a different species from the one we had back at home, their voice soothing and relaxing as they whispered their soft umware of the attendance they were getting from me.I slide my cell phone on the table, whistling a tune to myself. It reminds me of Olivia in that cute little dress and that party so I quit it, annoyed at myself for going down that path on this night of all nights.In a way I still remembered her in the flickers of my mind it felt more crazy that I was going on a date with Amy as a matter fact I was certain she would feel jealous if she sees me in this way going on a date with another
OLIVIA'S POVTHE PAST had a way of leaving a mark in me that remained despite trying to get it off me, for most people they are likely to get two channea out of life but when it came down to me it treated me a bit more stiff.I could sound hypothetical but the fact was that I felt Life hated me , I had tried explaining this to Jane the other day and she had totally rebuked me from sayi you the words but the fact remains that was how I felt about life.However, no matter how life had treated me unjustly I didn't let it half a role to play in the way I did other things– I didn't give the power ovevr my present.I took the present with hope that if life appeared to be cruel, I would take it and mould it into something better, I had noticed that acting in this way have leverage to something's happening in my life .As a matter of fact the way I had viewed life had turned out to be how life saw me as, it had turned out to be the way life treated me .The drizzling rain dripped down cryst
OLIVIA'S POVJane and I had decided to go out to get a few drinks. We had been cooped up in the house for a long ass time and it was starting to get suffocating.It was alot of risk doing that due to the recent update we had of my ftwhe but since we were going out together we didn't care a bit about it , as a matter of fact I had gone tired if to move around the house as a thief and the thought of having some fresh air min my skin sounded very much as very good ideaJane was not in the mood actually, she had still been insisting that it was a very much bad idea, and it was more risky because I was pregnant.I was not having any of what she was saying and was adamant on leaving, I just needed the fresh air and that was it, it was more like the baby in womb was demanding for a bit ofBut then it was more like I was forcing her to go out with me.I stood at the foot of the bed as I watched Jane rummage through her clothes, slowly, it was obvious she didn't want while on the other hand I w
NATHANIEL'S POVImmediately I had Olivia on my back, I decided not to sprint forward. I could sense a few movements around and I wanted to confirm if it was threatening.As soon as I confirmed we weren't in danger, I took off, wildly.I felt Olivia thrash around on my back but her movements were too slow if she wanted to save herself. Also, I could detect that her heartbeat had spiked up."Shut the fuck up…" I said, in my wolf form but then she couldn't hear me.I started to sprint speedily toward the mansion but then I wasn't fast enough. The fight with the other wolves had taken a toll on me as they were no ordinary wolves.I had a few gashes on my body which weren't detectable due my black fur.A minute passed, and I was at my mansion which was a few miles away from the diner.Immediately I got in, I carried Olivia up to the bedroom.It was a hassle carrying her up the stairs but then I was able to do it.I got into the bedroom, and I placed her on the bare floor. I decided not to
OLIVIA'S POVI couldn't believe that I got to see Nathaniel after such a long time.Also, I could feel the intense hatred he had for me and I could say I felt the same way.He had taken me against my will and I could guess that Jane would be so worried.I was shocked that he is a Werewolf. I realized that the strangeness I felt about him the other day in the club wasn't for naught. He seemed way too different that night.Also, he wasn't just any werewolf, he was an Alpha!My throat still hurt, due to the way he had dragged me and as I watched the expression on his face immediately after I spat the cereal on his face, a wicked smile bloomed on my face."You dare!" He shouted at me and I flinched. His face was beyond scary and I started to shift on my butt.He tried to wipe off the clumps of food on his face but it ruined his face more."What have I done?" I said to myself as I gulped in fear. He moved closer to me and his scary eyes bore into me."You think you can do whatever you want
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
