OLIVIA'S POV

We arrived at the packhouse and the set of unfamiliar faces I saw made me feel uneasy. They looked at me like I had horns growing out of my head.

"Just ignore them for now." Niamh said, "I'm sure you would like to have some rest instead of chatting around with people you don't know."

Niamh was right.

Even if I chatted with those people who looked at me with unfamiliarity, I wouldn't know what to say or how to introduce myself. My mate and I had to speak first to conclude how he would like me to be introduced to his people. He already took a big risk, taking me out of Leo's grasp and I couldn't be more grateful. My heart pounded in my chest as we entered the huge mansion that looked unfamiliar and different. Unlike the one I lived in, this one looked elder and the designs were almost Renaissance-looking. The structure made it looked one of the castles I could only read about in books.

I didn't mean to get so excited but i couldn't help it. I suddenly felt like a princess.

    JULIAN POV.All through the night, I couldn't sleep because I was lost in thought over my mate. Her quick reaction to accept me baffled me the most. True, we were mates but given the circumstances of how she came to be in my care, I felt like she should have protested about the unfair way I had gotten her to my home.The fact that she was with a man before I asked my men to get her should have also made her angry. I had thought that she would be so angry with me that she would eat me raw which was the reason why I had arrived later in the night than earlier.But she hadn't said anything about how uncomfortable it was for her. She had hugged me instead and had even settled down with me when I asked that we should eat. When I remembered how jovial and lively she had been with me, it gave me the insight that she didn't mind me abducting her from my brother.When my omega, Niamh, had even told me that my mate had first disturbed them out of fright, I had been worried. But when Niamh told

    JULIAN'S POVI stared at the papers in front of me, spreading them open. There had been a lot of reports of someone abusing the spirit codes and it was starting to take a toll on me to find them. I ran my hands through my hair, leaning back in my chair.I suspected Leo, but I wanted to get more feasible proof before I came out. If I told everyone without proof, they wouldn't take me seriously and just consider this another one of our fights.This is fucking irritating. I rubbed my neck, releasing the kinks that were in it as I rotated my head. I heard a satisfying pop and I got to work on my fingers.I had finished with my right hand and was about to begin my left when my door opened. Considering I was the alpha, the only person who could open my door like that without consequences would be my family.And I only had one family in my pack. My sister, Jane, walked in with a swagger. And I wanted to deck her just because of it. "You should learn to knock, Jane. I am still your Alpha. Do

    *Olivia's POV*I was contemplating breaking the window when the door opened. Julian stood there and I ignored how much attracted to him I was.I remembered how our last meeting went and immediately turned away."Olivia." I ignored the flutters that set off in my belly when he called my name, picking at the bedsheets. "I am here to apologize. I didn't mean to yell at you or make you feel bad."I didn't turn to look at him, focusing on picking out the lint on the bedsheets. Irrational man. He thinks he can just say sorry and everything would be okay? He has to be kidding. "Olivia. Please look at me. Just look at me. You are killing us." Us? He must mean his wolf. He still doesn't know I can't shift. I turned around slowly and his face lit up in a wide smile. "I am sorry."He moved forward and pulled me into a hug, immediately filling my lungs with his smell. I buried my nose in his chest, making him laugh. "Does this mean you forgive me? I have someplace else to take you. It would be up

    OLIVIA'S POV.As soon as I got to my room, I sank into my bed and began to shiver. When I had arrived at this Black Shadow pack, I had thought that I was free completely from that creepy man that my father had sold me to in the form of a mate. But now it seemed like the joy I felt at being away from the home and surroundings of Alpha Leo was going to be cut short.I don't want him to find me. Somewhere in my heart, I had prayed to the moon goddess several times for the Alpha of the Blue Blood not to even notice that I was missing not to talk about him looking for me. But, no, it seemed like the moon goddess was bent on not listening to me no matter what I prayed to her about.Why was he looking for her in any case? It was probably because of how he had always acted creepy toward me, I thought and my teeth clattered together. My heart began to hammer against my chest and I held it tightly as I remembered how he had always tried to force himself on me.One of the cruelest times that wou

    OLIVIA'S POVThe ride back to the packhouse was quiet and it made me feel as though I had something to do with it. I looked at the back of Julian's head as he rode the truck, then my gaze averted to the headgear mirror and I could see that he appeared deep in thought- He was practically absent-minded the entire time he drove.Did I bother him that much?"Julian,""Olivia," we said at the same time."You first," He offered immediately.Does taking me to the hospital bother you that much?What are you thinking about?All those questions I wanted to ask but saying it out loud would make me sound clingy so instead I said, "It's nothing. What did you want to say?"I cleared my throat and awaited his response. "I have to go to work," He said and my heart dropped in my stomach."Right." Julian drove me to the pack house and pulled over in front of the mansion. He turned over his shoulder to look at me and I anticipated what he would say next."Olivia," He said, "Go get some rest in your ro

    OLIVIA'S POVWhile I was sitting in my room, reading the horror novel I had collected from the library, my mind wandered and I couldn't focus on the reading.I remembered the people's murmurs from before and it crossed my mind over and over again which made me unable to focus. I kept rethinking the words I could've said and the perfect badass response I could've come up with but sadly, it was too late for that.I heard a knock on the door which snapped me out of my thoughts. "Come in!" I said after I'd positioned myself properly on the bed.The door opened revealing Vanessa. I immediately let out the breath I was holding and gestured to Vanessa to move closer to me.She was holding a bowl containing strawberries. She smiled at me softly and walked toward my bed."I brought you some strawberries."It looked incredibly fresh and sumptuous. Even though I remembered that I was called a freeloader for simply living in the mansion, I wanted to have a taste of the delicious fruit. It was cal

    JULIAN'S POV."Yes." She finally answered me.I bent my lips to her mouth and stole another kiss from her before I let go of her from my hold completely. I stood up from my sitting position and went over to where my drawers were. I sat down on one of the ones in the middle and rested my hands on either of the drawers by the side. By the time I would look back at Olivia, she had one of her fingers on her lips."Did you enjoy the kiss that much?" I asked her.She looked at me with a surprised look and she blushed."Why do you like blushing around me so much? Do I make you uncomfortable?" I asked her.When she blushed again, I nearly cursed out loud."Do I?" I asked with uncertainty this time.When she shook her head on the negative, I relaxed my tense posture. When she looked at me and our eyes locked, she blushed again and she looked down. I shook my head and wondered why she always acted shy around me. Or perhaps she wasn't shy, she was merely afraid of showing her true emotions.This

    *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

    OLIVIA'S POVMy legs moved faster than I thought was possible as I headed to the packhouse, my legs were already sore from the running but this was Julian we were talking about, I couldn't let him get himself killed. 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. He didn't wait for my response or my anger

    OLIVIA'S POV.The Emerett's people moved out of the cage and I followed them at a safe distance, making sure that none of them spotted me. 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
