OLIVIA'S POV.After we left the forest, my mate took me over to the cabin as she had promised. It was a small cabin that had only the basic necessity of life. No frivolous things, neither are there flashy things like in the stories of the fairy tales. It however has the comfortability that anyone would sell for such would find with it.It helped me adjust to the new life that had been bestowed upon me. My mate also did her utmost best to make sure that I was comfortable and nothing triggered the voice that had made itself at home in my head. But that still didn't stop the demon from getting activated.For the past two weeks that I had been here with her, she had done nothing but take care of me. She would get the water from the stream, hunt for our food, and still make the meal. The only thing she allowed me to do around the home was just read and relax. I found out that reading helped me to soothe the voice in my head like Alex was someone that had also enjoyed reading or he had sta
LEO'S POV.It's been a few weeks since the witch and I sacrificed Olivia's blood on the tree and a little war broke out. Like a child's play, a day turned into days, and days turned into weeks. I called it a little war because the bloodshed wasn't as gross as I had wanted it to be. While the witch and I had agreed that we needed to stay calm and let Olivia do all the killings, even though I wasn't pleased with that fact.No, it wasn't just the fact that I wasn't pleased with. I was also not pleased with the witch who had taken it over herself to turn to the leader after we had taken over Black Shrout but there was little to nothing I could do while she was still in control of everything.I had to let her be and watch at the sidelines while she kept ordering what was left of the people of Black Shrout all around in their own kingdom. The few people that had dared to question her authority she had made sure that their breath seized the very next second. After she had used about ten peop
"Hail Alpha Leo!" The troops yelled out in greetings as I stepped into the scene which looked dusty and reeked of grown men's sweat.I had unified Black Shrout with Blue blood so I had double the number of troops I had when I ruled blue blood moon. Also, I had changed my headquarters to black Shrout because it had good scenery and was also advantageous during war because of the direction of the wind. I nodded to the troops and the commander, Tuco directed them to continue training. I liked this man because of his diligence and the eye he had for opportunities.His Alpha had asked him to gather warriors to kill me but all I had to do was offer him more than the pathetic excuse of an alpha could and he immediately answered to me and killed his Alpha.I smiled, life would be easier if everyone just answered to me and do whatever I wanted.This thought led to another interesting thought and I decided it would be quite fun to test it out.But first... I had to visit a little someone.I tu

VANESSA'S POVThis was the happiest I felt in my entire life. With Olivia watching me water the flowers, I felt warm and home. She was home and I wanted her to stay by my side forever.Her beautiful eyes glazed towards me making me feel seen and loved.Many of the rouges here were scared of crossing our paths because they claimed she was a heartless killing machine and I did not believe it because I knew how warm Olivia was. When we first met, she was kind and protective towards me. After watering the flowers, I walked towards Olivia who was staring at me at though I was the most interesting thing.I immediately remembered the jewelry I made the other day, I had wanted to give that her before but I forgot about it.A smile crossed my face and I cupped Olivia cheeks with my hands. "I'll be back, love."Olivia simply stared at me and I scurried into the house and to the shelf in the kitchen. I had crafted the ring with my own hands but I must have forgotten it in the kitchen. I rushe
JULIAN'S POV"Olivia," I said and moved swiftly towards her. I grabbed her wrist and looked into her eyes which held confusion.I was enraged. That wasn't how she looked at me when I kissed her, that wasn't how she looked at me when we fucked!Why was she so distant from me now?Why couldn't she tell that I was her mate and not Vanessa? Why couldn't she feel me?!"Olivia," I repeated and grabbed the small of her waist to pull her closer to me.Shivers ran down my spine and I cursed under my breath. I looked into her eyes which held feelings of surprise."You also felt that didn't you?"She looked at me without responding."You have my mark near your collar bone, Olivia. I know your body well." Olivia's eyes widened and she struggled to back away from me but I wasn't letting her go. Never.Not after what I went through before finding her."No," she averted her gaze from me and struggled from my grip, "Vanessa is my mate."I scoffed, "Then explain this!"I held the sides of her face a
OLIVIA'S POV"Are you sure, Olivia? Once I leave, you'll never see me again."My heart ached but I maintained a straight face."Even if you died, I wouldn't care."Maybe I shouldn't have said the last part because I could see the hurt cross his facial expressions. "Alright!" He yelled and turned to leave. I wiped the tear that rolled down my cheek. It was my fault.He never once turned to look at me. He had meant his words.I wasn't going to see him again..."Olivia?" Vanessa stood from the ground tugged on my forearm, "T-that man is weird, he said a bunch of nonsense—"" —I remember everything," I announced. Vanessa froze and she let go of my arm."I'm sorry," She murmured under her breath. I turned to look at her and her head was bowed with a look of guilt plastered on her face.I laughed, "Why did you lie to me?!"Vanessa did not dare look me in the eye. I sighed, deeply. Because of her, I had lost my soulmate —"No, it's because of you." My wolf yelled in my head and I in
OLIVIA'S POV.I dragged Vanessa's body out of the cabin into the woods, grunting all the way. The tears wouldn't stop flowing from my eyes either at the loss of the woman who had been nothing but a friend and a protector to me. When I finally managed to drag her to the backyard, in the deep of the woods, I was already panting for breath and wishing that some sort of help would arrive for me.When I looked at Vanessa's dead body which was beginning to smell a little, the tears fell even more. They ran down my cheeks in streaks like they were racing for the finishing line that would signify their survival. Perhaps, I should be honest withh myself at the junction where I was now.Vanessa's death had a huge toll on me than I was letting on. It affected me deeper in my spirit than I care to admit to anyone. I have myself a cynical cruel short laughter. Who was I kidding? There was no one to let out my emotions or what I was going through. It was just me, the dead body, the trees, the anima
