*Olivia*

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. I stretched out against the bed, loosening all the tight joints. I heard them pop and smiled as I threw off the covers.

Swinging my feet over the bed, I slipped my legs into the pair of slippers and made my way to the bathroom. Today was a good day. I felt much better than usual and my head seemed clearer.

Maybe it's because you are getting closer to Julian. I rolled my eyes, ignoring the voice. I picked up my toothbrush, spreading toothpaste along the bristles. I turned on the tap, running the toothpaste below it.

I started brushing my mouth, humming an old song under my breath. I spat into the sink as I finished, using a cup on the counter to collect water to rinse out my mouth.

Slipping out of my clothes, I stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. One thing about Julian's house was that I could always bathe hot water.

They soothed the scars on my back and I didn't move for a second. The scars were healed, but running

If it wasn't that the beta was my best friend also, I swear to the moon goddess, I would have killed him, cut his body into pieces, and fed them to the flying beasts of the earth."Can you get lost?" I spat at him."Of course, Alpha." He answered with a laugh."If you don't get lost now, I promise Niamh wouldn't recognize you again if she sees you in the next few minutes," I threatened him. With the current mood I was spotting, I Oyo as well injured the man."I was just about to leave, dear Alpha."

I peeped around the corner to see if they were in the hall, releasing a low breath when I found out they weren't.Julian didn't know I was following him. I got closer to the door of his office and a sour tangy order drifted through the air. I heard screams not a second later and I ignored the voice in my head telling me to run and peeped through the door.Julian was standing over a man, horror written across his face. The man was shaking, electricity licking his hands and spreading across his body. Holden was saying something, but I couldn't hear him because of the water in my ears.I decided to leave there, but the image was burning itself into my memory. I could still smell his burnt flesh. I could still hear his screams. What on earth had happened? I shook my head, moving to my room.I was stupid to try and follow Julian. I shouldn't have. I felt bile rise up in my throat and

I had left her behind to go and start prepping her breakfast, when I bumped into Julian.He immediately reached out to steady me, eyes flashing with concern. "Whoa, steady." I waited till I had my balance back before stepping out of his arms.His lips lifted in a tiny smile and I returned it because I already had Olivia. and he didn't. "How is she?" I lowered my gaze, lest he see the satisfaction that was on my face. Julian was asking me about her. "She is doing better now, sir. She was a bit disoriented last night, but she slept off. She is still sleeping.""Ah. I see. Do you know if she is still mad at me?" I shook my head, biting my lips to keep myself from smirking. "I don't know, sir. I didn't mention your name that much. It seemed to only upset her."I heard Julian sigh and I glanced at him to see him rubbing his face. "I thought as much. Still keep an eye on her for me, o

In honesty, there were a few things that I could have done better, or maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me. I had quite an understanding mate and all but I could spot all of my flaws and I didn't want him to recognize that about me.I wanted our relationship to work out but I feared my past would get between us."Olivia, just sleep," I told myself as I wrapped the duvet closely around my body."It's alright," I told myself.My ears perked up when I heard a sound but I ignored it and went back to sleep but not until I heard the door to my room slam.I gasped and was about to sit up when I felt something softly push me back into the bed and I did not hesitate because of the soothing pre

Julian asked through the mind link.My back tingled as I remembered the beatings I got back then and it sent shivers down my spine."He.. is my father.""Isn't he Ferno, the beta's assistant of Black Shrout?""Yes," I replied."Then...

    OLIVIA'S POVI averted my gaze from Leo's and looked at my brother, Gillian as though he had lost his mind. "Leo is here," I mind-linked Julian."Don't bother about him, he won't do anything. Even if he does, I'm here." Julian's words always had a way of making me feel safe."Olivia," Gillian said with a scoff, bringing me out of the daze I was in."How dare you show up here acting all mighty and proud?"After seeing Leo, I wasn't sure I had any energy to argue or yell at him, so I linked my hands with Julian's. "I have no idea what you're talking about and you shouldn't talk down to me and my mate unless you're ready to pay for the consequences." With that, I walked away from the Alpha of my previous pack and Gillian."Olivia, thank you..." Julian said through the mind link, I looked at him and saw mixed emotions in his eyes. "You've been through a lot. I'm shocked you came here with me just to show me the truth about you and I'm utterly grateful for it."I smiled at Julian, not kn

    *Olivia's POV*I sobbed over his still body, feeling a part of me dying. He couldn't be dead. He just couldn't. I wrapped my arms around him, praying to anyone who cared to listen."Please don't take him away from me. I just got him back. I wouldn't let you take him away from me." I buried my nose in his chest, breathing in his scent.I felt something brush my cheek and I lifted my head. A faerie was smiling at me, his eyes friendly. "You must be the mate." I curled my body over Julian's protectively, narrowing my eyes at the intruder.The faerie smiled, shaking his head. His hair fluttered out like water behind him. "I am here to help you, Luna. I saw everything that happened. It went surprisingly well."I stared at him, pulling Julian closer to my chest. "What are you saying?" "I saw everything that could have happened. The different possibilities. This path was surprisingly fortunate."He looked at me and the look on his eyes made me shiver. "Do you wish to know what could have hap

He shouldn't have come here in the first place. He had no idea that Leo was an insane person.I forced my worn-out legs to keep moving no matter the pain that shot up through my legs.I breathed in and paused for a moment to catch my breath. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and I wiped them with my sleeve.Moon goddess, please...My feet brushed through the corpses in front of the packhouse.My heart tightened and I look over at their faces, "No, not Julian."The corpses lifeless faces reminded me of the people who I had killed in rage.Memories of how I killed my brother, Gillian also filled my head.I had ripped out his heart with no remorse despite his words.I always blamed him for treating me unkindly, yet I killed him.

    OLIVIA'S POV."There's one more thing, my lady." The leader said in a serious tone.I lifted my eyes and stared at him in wonder about what else he could want from me."What would that be?" I asked him when he didn't say anything for almost a minute after he had spoken.He got up, came to my side and he began to pace around me. All through his scrutiny, I was very nervous but I tried my best to keep my anxiety down since I didn't want to display fear in the den of the wolves. At last, he stood in front of me and stared directly into my eyes."I can still smell your fear, my lady. Have you forgotten that I am an Alpha wolf? My sense of smell is a lot heightened than that of ordinary werewolves." He told me.When I looked at him in shock, he flashed his teeth before me. I wanted to vobblered him but I held on to my restraint. Gone were the days of mindless killings."You feel like killing me, don't you?" He asked me again with a naughty smile.

Ever since Emerett had taken me into his care and he and his people had done nothing but take care of me. Emerett made sure I never packed for a thing even once and his men treated me with respect. Even the books that Emerett never joked about, he had allowed me to borrow them times without numbers.There was however one thing I had noticed about the group led by Emerett ever since I had arrived at the cave. Even though the men were very good werewolves who knew how to hunt for good meat, they always came back with little.Although Emerett had given me a head up about how the other party called White Ice had always stolen the prey his men hunted for and even when I had monitored them and saw how they acted for myself, it had been a little bit hard for me to come up with the perfect plan for Emerett's men to accept me. But now I have the perfect pla

    *Julian's POV*I tried not to let my emotions show on my face as I stormed past the gate. Two of the guardsmen were sleeping, immediately getting up when I passed.I was too tired not to stop and scold them. Everytime I closed my eyes or stopped to breathe for even a second, I saw Olivia's face. I kept hearing her voice. She had chosen Vanessa over me. A few werewold kids were playing in the park, some of them stopping bouncing the ball to wave at me. I waved back, faking a wide smile.One of them pointed at their heart, calling out. "Where's Luna?" I bit my lip, shaking my head as I walked away. I knew my people would ask about Olivia, since they were aware I had left to get her back. I sighed, rubbing my forehead. This was going to be a problem. My wolf snorted, rolling his eyes. I ignored him, changing my direction to walk towards my cabin. Hopefully, no one would be there.I swung the door open, trying to ignore the little presence and scent of Olivia that lingered inside. I cu

    *Olivia's POV*I stood there waiting for about a minute before Ron came back and the first thing he said when he saw me was. "The dress fits you better. Maria would be thrilled."I assumed Maria was his mate and I nodded at him, lifting the gown so it wouldn't sweep against the floor. I walked behind him, pondering on how exactly to project myself so the clan liked me.I needed their approval to stay here. Ron led me down another staircase and I lifted my eyes to see a spread of them. The pit was dug out like a concert arena. The uplifted part was decorated like a throne and I saw Emerett sitting on the chair. He had his head in his hands, and he only looked up when the whispers started. His eyes widened and he moved to his feet. Ron nodded at me, going to stand in the crowd. I could feel all their eyes on me as I made my way to the stage and I tried to tune out my ears so I wouldn't hear what they were saying.My wolf was more curious and she won this battle."Oh my goodness.

    *Olivia's POV*Emerett decided to take me around the cave after the mini breakfast in his room. The cave was bigger than I expected, with curtains and mud walls sectioning it into smaller parts.There were a few wolves outside the curtain rooms, watching me with suspicious eyes. I could feel their eyes bore holes into me with every step I took."They are watching me." "They have never seen a wolf like you before. Fear not. They would attack you as long as you stand by me." I looked one in the eye as we passed by her grinding something that looked pink. The coldness in her eyes made me shiver and rub my forearms."They don't take a liking to new people?" Emerett glanced at the woman over his shoulder. "That's just how Edith behaves. She lost her husband to an intruder so she is really suspicious of every new person we bring. She will eventually warm up to you."I sincerely doubted that, but I kept my mouth closed. The cave was huge and it seemed the tour would never end. I took note of

    *Olivia's POV*I kept running, feeling the wind rushing in my ears. My wolf was tense, making me run faster than normal. I heard a growl behind me and I made the mistake of looking back. I stumbled over a tree trunk and fell to the floor. "Get her." I heard a voice hiss and I immediately scrambled to my feet. I took on a fighting stance, glaring at them. The one in the middle was staring at me with wide eyes. His eyes were dark, like the night sky when the moon was nowhere to be found. Behind him were at least three more wolves, all wearing the same band around their wrists. I felt a shiver crawl up my spine when I realized what they were. My wolf said it for me, her voice sounding like a growl. "Rouges."The night sky eyed wolf smiled, standing straighter. "You are smart. But I would beg to differ since you are here. What are you doing around our parts?" I kept my eye on him, watching him move around me. "I don't want any trouble."One of the rogues laughed, rolling his eyes. "T

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
