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'S POV"Know your place, witch." I said, in a dangerously low tone.I was beyond angry at this point and I just wanted to let it out.A powerful Alpha, like me, was deceived by you and you think I'll let you go."I just need my baby, from you. If not, I would have slit your throat, with my claws, immediately after I found out the truth." I continued to say and I could see the way her face turned pale.Her eyes turned watery and her mouth was opened like a fish in water."You want air? Beg for it!" I ordered and she scrambled to go on her knees.However, she couldn't because her legs and hands were cuffed. Also, I still had my hand wrapped around her neck."You can't beg?" I said and then tightened my hold on her neck. I wasn't going to kill her but then I wanted to make her suffer.Olivia's eyes were starting to close and her tongue darted out in desperation for her. Her heartbeat was starting to slow down and in one swift second, I let go of her neck and slammed her on the b
OLIVIA'S POVI could feel pain shoot through my body as soon as I hit the floor.I could feel waves upon waves of excruciating pain.My eyes saw stars and my contempt for Nathaniel intensified.The pain I felt in my throat when he dragged me back was nothing to how my throat feels now.It felt as if I saw life being sucked out of me.For a moment, I thought that if I lied about the father of the baby, he would let me go. But then, I underestimated the crazy Alpha."Stand up, Olivia." I heard him say, but I couldn't even summon strength.I made an effort to get down from the bed and try to escape but I only ended up on the floor.But then how was I to escape when he had cuffed my hands and legs?My cuffed hands started to claw at the ground. I wanted to get my bearings and claw my way out.My tummy hurt but then I could still feel the baby in me.We had some kind of connection and I knew my baby wasn't at risk.However, I couldn't continue to stay here. Before I could start to crawl, N
NATHANIEL'S POVFOR ME life had been a rollercoaster, I had managed in the few times of my living upset the few people that had meant the world to me and it kept on reoccurring from my teenage age to adulthood.Here was I again making the same mistake, I had thought picking Amy over Oliva has been the right choice but yet again it had proven how insecure and indecisive I was when making decisions, she had seemed like the proper then beautiful and all but all this had been until about a week ago.Over the last few days it had started with her acting ball strange and always missing in the heights of the moment– From flimsy excuses to finding more excuse to leqve on time during our date.It and took alot of plusses and minuses to find out something was actually wrong and it had prompted me to hire someone to do little findings about her.It was enough suspecting her but I didn't want it to be on guesses I wa ted something surreal, something that would make it look like a good excuse leav
ALEXIS POVI just got back from the search. I looked everywhere for Olivia but I didn't see her. I remembered the appointment I had with the detective and also with Jane. I turned the car and I went to pick up Jane."Any luck?" She said as soon as she entered the car. I simply shook my head and sighed. I couldn't take my eyes off the damn pink gown that she had on, it was way too sexy for me to keep my head straight but Atlas, I snapped out of it."Okay, let's go and meet the detective, I am sure, something good will come out of it." She tried to comfort me and it did work. She placed her hands on my thighs and gave me the assurance that I needed. We arrived at the restaurant while we waited for the detective. I saw how nervous Jane was and unsure she was. She rubbed her hands against the other. I held them and placed them under the table as soon as I spotted the detective. He was bald headed, fat and he seemed to be in late fifties if I wasn't mistaken. He had a briefcase with him
JANE'S POVFor all my dreams about him being back, I’m so tired and weary from all the trouble about Olivia that all I can do is collapse in his arms, inhaling his woodsy perfume and that orange tangy smell that always comes from the plane toffee he takes for flights. We stay in that position for about ten minutes, the world going on around us until he pulls away and tugs me towards the car. So much for picking him up, I think as he shuts the passenger door behind me and goes around to the driver’s side.He strokes the side of my face and I lean into it with a sigh. “Look at those dark circles. My poor baby”, he says, looking my face over. I shake my head as he pulls back his hand and starts the car. “It’s been absolute hell and I don’t feel any better than the moment I found out. How stupid of us to part down there in that dusky space.” I say, voicing the recurring thoughts I’ve had for the past few days.Alexis stretches a hand over and grabs my thigh. “Stop blaming yourself, babe.

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
