Olivia Steel P.O.V
Today was the day!
I packed my gear and shoved them in my bag before lugging it out of my room and down the stairs.
"What the fuck."
I smiled sheepishly when I accidentally shoved my dad aside in my haste.
"Language dad!" I called out before I threw the front door open and excitedly ran to Jason who was preparing the bags in the car.
"Woah Liv calm down before you poke someone's eyes out."
I shoved my bags in the boot as my brother raised a brow at me.
"What?"
"You do realise we're only going for three days."
"Yeah, what's your point?"
He looked at my bags before meeting my gaze again.
"You packed as if we're going for two weeks. What did you even pack in those. Seriously you only need one bag Liv," Jason scolded.
"No I need those bags. And calm down it's only three bags. And they aren't even that big," I said with a shrug before closing the boot.
Just as I reached for the handle of the passengers side my hand was slapped, causing me to snatch it back as I glared at the culprit who hit me.
"What was that for?" I said irritatingly.
"I called shot gun. Now get your ass at the back and sit down like a good little girl."
"You know what you are Colton? A tiny little insect I can squish with my shoe in a second. And don't tempt me hun because I have beaten your ass before," I said smugly as I threw open the back door and hopped in.
"It was one time geez. Get beaten once and the whole fucking pack thinks I get my assed kicked by girls," he mumbled as he got in when my brother laughed and started the car.
"First Stop, the Blood Moon Pack."
I closed my eyes and leaned back in my seat preparing myself for the long ride.
Six hours in a car with these two?
Can't be that bad right?
********
"Liv...Liv...Come on wake up we're here...Olivia!"
I jolted awake only to open my eyes to see my brothers annoyed face.
"What's with the face?"
"What's with the breath?" He asked scrunching his nose while I frowned.
I cupped a hand over my mouth and breathed into it trying to catch the scent of my breath.
I shrugged and got out of the car stretching my limbs.
I scanned the area when I noticed we were in front of a huge house. I'm assuming it was their pack house judging from the multiple scents that littered the area.
"Nice," I said with a nod of approval.
I spotted a few people peeking out the windows which caused me to laugh. Curiosity is never a good trait to have but sadly the majority of people have it.
Suddenly the doors opened and I faintly caught an alluring scent before it faded away.
A man and women approached us, and let me tell you now that they looked like they belonged in heaven because damn they looked perfect without a single flaw.
The Powerful Aura coming off the man immediately informed me he was the Alpha, so I could only assume the women was the Luna since she had a sense of authority to her as well.
Lost in my thoughts I ended up missing the exchange between my brother and the couple. Until Jason discretely nudged me which caused me to hum when they were all looking at.
"Yes?"
"We were just asking for your name," the women said smiling kindly at me.
"Oh of course. My names Olivia. Olivia Steel, Daughter to Alpha Dominic and Luna Aubrey. And also this ones sister," I said gesturing to Jason.
My mother would probably slap me silly right about now. She was the perfect picture of class. She was everything I wanted to be in a women.
Strong, fierce, beautiful.
I didn't know how it was possible,but I was more like my Uncle Mickey than my parents.
A complete dork.
"Welcome to the Blood Moon Pack. I am Alpha Dimitri and this is my mate and Luna Isabella."
Her chestnut coloured hair flowed freely down her shoulders as it framed her heart shaped face. Her warm brown eyes held no judgement as she smiled at me. I smiled in return before Alpha Dimitri cleared his throat.
"Unfortunately my brother couldn't make it. He is a bit busy with...other things."
If I didn't know any better it sounded as if Dimitri was irritated with his brother.
I chuckled and looked at Colton who rolled his eyes at me.
"Kade here will show you to your rooms. Alpha Jason after you are refreshed and settled we can meet in my office and start negotiations. Your sister is free to roam the lands as she pleases."
I looked to the right of the couple just noticing who I thought to be Kade.
And let me tell you now, he was some fine peace of ass. Damn if my Uncle Jake was here then he would definitely be giving me some tips.
He noticed my stare and smirked causing me to wink at him. I grinned when he raised a brow before he started to speak when the Alpha and Luna excused themselves.
"I will let you grab your bags and then I will show you to your rooms."
After collecting our bags he directed us to our rooms. Before we reached mine I leaned towards his ear.
"Did it hurt?" I whispered.
He frowned as he looked at me.
"What?"
"When you fell from heaven," I said seriously causing Kade to choke on his own saliva.
"What the fuck? That is one of the dumbest shit I've ever heard," he said with a laugh as we stopped outside my door.
"But you fell for it anyway," I said with a shrug opening the room.
Before he could say anything else I shut the door in his face causing him to curse about it hitting his nose.
"Rude much!" He called from behind the door.
"Does it hurt now," I said laughing as I started to unpack my bags.
An hour later I had finally packed away everything causing me to fall flat on my back on the
bed as I stared at the ceiling.What to do...
Go for a run?
Nope, ain't nobody got time for that.
Go explore the grounds?
Maybe another time.
Eat?
Hmm...sounds like a plan.
I got up from the bed and threw the door open. I was about to walk down the hall when I heard someone speak, stopping me in my tracks.
"Must you be so loud?"
I turned towards the voice before looking around, only to realise he was talking to me.
"Have you been waiting outside my room the entire time?" I asked curiously.
He rolled his eyes before walking past me and towards the stairs.
"Don't flatter yourself princess, my rooms the one I was standing in front of."
"Sure it is."
"It is."
"I know, I never said it wasn't."
"But you said it in a sarcastic way which implies that you think it isn't my room."
"It's not my fault your reading too much into my tone," I said with a shrug as I followed him down the stairs.
"Oh my fucking goddess, how does anyone deal with you," he said groaning as he made it into the kitchen.
"If you must know they...."
I tensed by the island placing my hands against the counter as I closed my eyes.
The sound of the front door opening and closing coming to my attention.
But what really piqued my interest was the intoxicating scent that wafted through my nostrils only to get stronger by the minute.
"Olivia? You okay?"
A smile made its way to my face as I opened my eyes gleaming at Kade.
"I think my mates here," I whispered happily.
He raised a brow before lifting his head and taking a whiff in the air catching whatever scent he could find.
"I have no idea what your smelling since this place is littered with hundreds of different scents."
I turned towards the doorway of the kitchen containing my excitement as I waited for my mate to come through.
He's got to be here.
"Kade do you still have my car keys? I need to head out."
I tilted my head when an unbelievably sexy guy walked into the kitchen.
His black hair was all over the place as if he had just come out of bed. His olive toned skin and sharp cheek bones just made me want to touch him. Dark eyes captivated mine as he stopped in his tracks. I trailed my gaze down his form noticing how fitted his black top was across his muscled chest.
I inhaled deeply only to smile when his scent called to me.
He balled up his hands and clenched his teeth as he stood tense looking at me.
This sexy specimen of a man is mine.
My mate.
Before I could even utter a word he beat me to it.
"No."
Was all he said before glaring at me and then storming out of the kitchen.
Did he just indirectly reject me?
I looked at Kade who was looking at me in shock.
"What the fuck just happened?"
"He's my mate..."I trailed off in thought.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"That's Damon Romano. Alpha Dimitris brother and Beta of the pack."
"Why is he Beta?"
"Our Beta couple had no offspring since his mate died from a rogue attack. So Dimitri chose Damon as his second in command."
"Interesting...Did he just say no to me?" I asked with a frown.
Kade looked at me with sympathy causing me to growl in annoyance.
"Give him time...he's now got himself in a sticky situation meeting you."
"What's the situation?"
He turned away avoiding my calculating gaze as he rummaged through the cupboard.
"It's not my place to say anything. I will see you at dinner."
With that said, Kade left the kitchen leaving me with my thoughts.
"Damon," I whispered testing out his name on my tongue.
Damon Romano is my mate and he definitely doesn't look happy about it, I thought with a groan.
Fuck my life.
Olivia Steels POV"Hurry up Liv, dinners ready and I'm fucking starving," Colton groaned as I blow dried my hair."Do you want my hair to be wet or not," I said getting annoyed with his whining."No one cares," he complained."Ugh fine you idiot, I'm coming. You should have just gone without me.""Jason said I can't come down till your ass is with me. Now get going I'm hungry."I rolled my eyes letting my damp hair fall down my back as I stood up and followed Colton out of the room."Geez you act like your've been starved for days, when I'm sure I saw you eating an hour ago.""One doughnut Liv. Now seriously what's that going to do to my stomach? Tickle it?""Your so dramatic," I said with a laugh as Colton opened the doors to the dinning hall.My laugh echoed in the quiet room causing me to cease my laughter immediately.The only sounds heard was the voices of my brother and Alpha Dimitri
"Tell me." "No." "Please?" "No." "Come on just tell me" "No." "fine." "No...wait what? Ow! Dammit Olivia," he groaned. I chuckled when Kade rubbed his side as he scooted further away with his eyes narrowed at me. "Okay fine, I'm sorry. But why cant you just tell me why he can't accept me?" "For the hundreth time Olivia, its not my place to tell." "I will find out eventually you know." "Then when that time comes I hope I'm not around." I frowned as he looked at me in sympathy. "Please Kade I'm begging you," I urged as I scooted closer to him and grabbed his arm in desperation. Something about what he said rubbed me in the wrong way. "I'm sorry Olivia, I can't." "What can't you do?" We both looked towards the voice and saw Jason in the doorway with his eyebrow raised. "Nothing that doesn't concern you," I said quickly. Jason ro
I kept running pushing my legs to go faster. "Olivia stop!" He called after me. His voice only urged me to go faster. I let out a laugh as I ran, my laughter echoing in the forest disturbing the peace. My happiness was short lived when I realised how close Damon was. He literally was on my heels. Hmm...that won't do. I looked ahead of me and spotted a thick tree. As soon as we got close to it I feigned a left turn before changing course immediately. I ran towards it and up the trunk before flipping backwards and changing direction. I heard him curse which caused me to smirk as I continued running. His speed would have prevented him from stopping to change course. As soon as I heard a growl and snapping of jaws I knew he shifted. Did anyone say rodeo? With a grin I knew he was back on my heels. I could literally feel his breath on my legs. I closed my eyes and tilted my head towards the sky basking in the
I squealed when Damon suddenly hoisted me onto his shoulders and started walking. "What the fuck are you...Ow! shit what was that for ?!" I said exasperated as I gripped his back for support. "Keep cussing and I will keep spanking you," he deadpanned. "Damon put me down, I'm perfectly fine with walking on my own. Your embarrassing me," I complained. "If you feel like its perfectly normal to be embarrassed in front of an audience of tree's, then sorry little mate but you need help." "Okay fine but when we get to the clearing put me down because this will look quite odd, don't you think?" "How so?" he said sounding amused. "Well first of all...I'm soaked in blood. If my brother see's me on your shoulder he will think I've been injured." "You have." "What? I'm not hurt in the slightest?" "Your pride is." I frowned and pulled myself up leaning my hands on his back as I tried to turn around to look at
I sighed as my legs hung off the armrest of the couch I was laying in. The room was encased in darkness except for the little rays of moonlight that shone through the gaps in the curtain. Questions wandered through my mind as I sat there alone with my thoughts. I scoffed at the thought of what happened moments ago. I ended up leaving Damon's place and running back to the Pack house. I was beyond irritated with his attitude. Especially when I tried to sneak up that "secret" staircase, I thought with a chuckle. I nearly got there too. "One more day," I whispered to the darkness. One more day till Damon decides our destiny. I hated how he had the power in this decision. It's not like I could put any input in considering I've already accepted him. He just needs to accept me. I got up off the chair and walked towards the double doors that lead out to the balcony. As I opened the doors I shivered as the wind car
I kept running even when it felt like my heart was going to rip out my chest. Damon already had a lover and she was enough of a reason for him to deny me. My breath was coming out in pants as tears freely streamed down my face as I ran. "Olivia Stop!" I growled in annoyance at the sound of his voice, just wanting to be left alone. I pushed myself harder not in the mood to deal with my so called mate. "Olivia wait!""Just stop and listen to me..."I jumped over a fallen gigantic tree without slowing down and landed with an omph. I heard him curse causing me to scoff un-amused. No matter how may times I changed course he remained on my heels. "Olivia!" he snapped.I stopped in my tracks suddenly before I turned around and glared at him."What the fuck do you want? I'm done with you. I'm done trying to win you over okay!?"I felt my eyes burn as I panted. Emotion after
Damon's P.O.V Finding my mate was not a topic I spent a lot of time on. To be honest I didn't think I would come in crossroads with her in this life time. Olivia... Just thinking about her brings a fuck load of emotions that I cant begin to comprehend. Seeing her in complete anguish fucking killed me, but I just felt helpless. I felt like I didn't have a right to console her when I was the one causing her pain. Lost in my thoughts I paid no mind to my brother entering my room. "Damon, have you seen Olivia? Jason is starting to lose his cool and no ones seen her. He found her room empty this morning and there is no sign that she occupied the room last night." I shot up from my position on my couch and frowned. "Let's go. I will help find her." I grabbed my jacket that lay on the armrest and went straight for the door. "Is everything okay with you little brother? Your not looking so good this morni
"So whats wrong?"I looked up at my mother while twirling my spoon around in boredom."What makes you think somethings wrong?"She raised an eyebrow as she placed a hand on her hip."For the last week you have been moping around since coming back from the pack lands you visited with your brother. Don't think I haven't noticed."I sighed and chuckled as I looked at my half empty bowl."Have you ever made a difficult decision that defies everything you have ever known since young? Like...given up on something that was destined to be yours?"I waited silently for her reply, till her tanned hand came in my peripheral and covered my paled one.I looked up when she didn't say anything, she wore a sad expression as she smiled at me."I won't ask you what happened when you were there, but I will say this. If you believe the decision you made was right in your heart. Then it was the right one. Don't stray from your beliefs
Damons P.O.V. I ran pushing my wolf to his limits as I growled. I was furious with Olivia but I was also mad at myself knowing it was my fault, but was too stubborn to admit it. She allowed someone to take her virginity... That was the only thought currently racing through my mind. "Stop running." I snarled at the sound of my brothers voice in my mind. "Fuck off Dimitri," I snarled. I grunted when I was tackled to the ground as he loomed over me with a sneer. "Shift now," he commanded. "Why cant you fucking leave me alone. I will deal with my own shit," I snapped. "Because your being unreasonable." I stood up pushing him off me and shifting back. "How," I said annoyed as I crossed my arms awaiting his response. He remained in wolf form and sat down staring at me. "You were sleeping with Desiree...so tell me dear brother, how does that work? Being angry at your mate
It has been 3 weeks since I last saw my mate and trust me when I say it hasn't gotten better. I thought if I hung out more with Xavier I would slowly start to get over Damon but boy was I wrong. He was constantly in my mind and now to add to it, I had a whole lot of guilt consume me considering I slept with someone who wasn't my mate. "He also slept with someone else...just saying," my wolf Ava said. I rolled my eyes and stopped running placing my hands on my knees as I took deep breaths. I have been running for atleast an hour around our whole territory. I needed this release from all the constant stress on my mind. "Olivia where are you?" Jason questioned through the link. "East of the boarders." "Running?" "Yep, been slacking in training." "Right. We have guests, come back to the pack house." Before I could ask who he cut the link. I ran a hand through my sweaty hair before looking down at wha
We ended up pulling into the fancy building which where a lot of people live which Im assuming is there pack house. But according to Xavier its called a hotel. We went all the way up to the top floor and it was breathtaking. The views were to die for and the interior design looked like someone took great care in piecing everything together so it went perfectly. "Damn this place is beautiful! Is your family well off?" Xavier chuckled as he walked to the kitchen and poured 2 glasses of wine. "My parents travel for work so they set me up in this place making up for their absence. They feel that if they provide me with the finer things in life, I will be appreciative and not mind that they're barely parents to me. I've gotten used to their abandonment so I don't really care anymore." he said while looking at his glass before meeting my gaze. "Anyway enough about me. Take a seat and make yourself comfortable." I walked to the couch after ad
As soon as we got there we watched from the car as people littered the front lawn and deck. Z squealed in excitement before reaching for something at the back and coming back with a big bottle of Vodka and a six pack of red bull. “Let’s get litty!” she said in excitement before exiting the car. I laughed and followed after her as she ran inside. “Z calm your farm and relax,” I called out in amusement as we approached the house and squeezed pass the flood of sweaty bodies. Zara scrunched her nose in disgust, “I swear humans don’t wash themselves properly. Their odour is out of this world.” I chuckled and followed her to the kitchen before she started raiding the cupboard as if she owned the place. Not long after she managed to locate some plastic cups and began making our drinks. I bobbed my head to the music starting to feel more in the mood to party than I did when we first arrived. I scanned the area noticing so
"So whats wrong?"I looked up at my mother while twirling my spoon around in boredom."What makes you think somethings wrong?"She raised an eyebrow as she placed a hand on her hip."For the last week you have been moping around since coming back from the pack lands you visited with your brother.
