OLIVIA I couldn't stop thinking about my mate all day and the way he made me feel. Although I have been fighting so hard to not admit it, but I craved his presence. Scratch that, my wolf craved the presence of her mate.‘And you too. Admit it and stop being a bitch!’ Ava snapped in my head. ‘Whatever.’ I rolled my eyes. “I don't want another mate.” I said out loud.Keep lying to yourself, Olivia. After having breakfast, I had settled down to see a movie on the smart television in the foyer. My eyes were fixed on the television for a long time until the rapping sound of a knock disrupted my attention, momentarily shifting it away from the movie I was seeing. I looked up to see Mrs. Mila walk into the foyer with a bowl of Popcorn. “Right on time.” She shot me a bright smile.Apparently, she was here to serve me the bowl of popcorn. “I heard the sound from the television and I figured you'd made do with a bowl of Popcorn. So, for the movies.” She handed me the bowl, a large smile spre
CAMERON “What?” I inquired, staring at her as she blushed, a soft pink hue appeared on her cheeks. I took a peek into the bag and chuckled at her adorable embarrassment. “Do you not like them?” I gestured to the beautiful sets of undies the assistant at the mall had chosen. “They're beautiful. Thanks for being so thoughtful.” Her voice, barely above a whisper as it dripped with embarrassment. “Not me. I had asked one of the assistants at the mall to pick up the choicest and most pretty items for a lady.” I explained. The last thing I wanted was for her to see me as a man with no shame. “Oh.. Still very thoughtful of you.” Her face pulled up in a smile this time. I returned the smile, relieved at the easing tension.I sat cluelessly, unsure of what else to do as I watched her unpack the items, displaying them all around her alongside her unending appreciative comments. I was suddenly glad for stopping over at the mall this evening in spite of the stressful day I had. Seeing her che
OLIVIA The warm rays of the sun shining into the room and settling on my skin, roused me out of slumber. I made to sit up and I'm stopped by Cameron's firm grip still on my waist. My eyes take in the sleeping figure lying peacefully on the bed like a log of wood. He had worked late into the night, making and taking lots of calls that had me wondering what the whole situation was all about. I did not want him to think that I was curious about his ‘Princely’ responsibilities, so I settled myself on the bed patiently waiting for him. I badly wanted to express my displeasure about his girlfriend or probably, his ex-girlfriend. But as the minutes ticked by, with the wait becoming longer, my eyelids had grown heavy and I succumbed to the irresistible pull of nature. Good thing he's not up yet I thought as I reached out to trail my fingers across his peaceful looking face. I jumped in surprise as Cameron grabbed my hands. “I didn't mean to wake you up.” I said awkwardly, feeling embarras
OLIVIA The days went by, and soon, it turned into weeks. With the frequent raiding of packs on the increase, Cameron had gotten so busy as he was often out to help the invaded packs and to apprehend the perpetrators. In order to see less of the blonde, I often locked myself in his suite except on days when I stepped out for a run. I discovered a route that led to the woods and it's been a very reliable way to kill boredom. This way, I've been able to avoid the annoying blonde that was practically everywhere only seeing her whenever Cameron was around and even at that, it's always irritating to see her act all nice and sweet around him. Right now, I badly needed a cold drink as today had me going on a running spree again. I had left the house almost at the same time Cameron had gone out to rescue a pack that was being attacked as at the time he was notified. In as much as I would prefer to head straight to the bathroom to take a cold bath, I made a beeline for the kitchen. “There y
AVA Olivia was so angry that she couldn't remain in the house with the blonde bitch. I was sure I disliked her with everything in me but my human’s dislike for her greatly exceeded mine. We had just returned home after a good sprint in the woods. It was our regular way of putting away boredom as our mate was always unavailable and in the real sense, it helped us avoid the blonde as much as possible. Just as we thought we had succeeded for the day, my human ended up getting enraged by the blonde’s manipulative words. I figured she was going to return to the woods, so I took control and led us back to the woods. Right after she pulled off her clothes, I shifted, pushing her to the reccess. The very first time we shifted when we located this place, I surprisingly felt unexplainable energy burst through me. I felt much more stronger than the usual beta I was. I also discovered that I could pick up sounds much sharper and clearer than how I used to back then in my former pack. Whether
CAMERON I halted on the spot as my gaze landed on the large footprint that was obviously not that of a werewolf. It was quite relieving that we were making progress on tracking the rogues as the rogue attacks were on the increase. With a deep inhale, I sniffed the air in hopes to find more links to the attackers. My nose crinkled in disgust as I not only made out the rotten smell of rogues in the air, but also the empty smell of an ominous being. I was sure it belonged to someone more powerful than regular werewolves even though I am barely able to perceive its very faint aura that lingered somewhere in the air. This wasn't good at all. Looking at it from another angle, these rogues probably had the support of a larger shifter, could be a werebear or even a Lycan. Whoever the bigger presence was, he was very skilled in covering his tracks only that it was almost impossible for a Lycan to leave traces. Could this mean that they wanted to be traced? I pondered on the possibilities.
CAMERON I joined Landon and his group alongside the three alphas that were with me. There were carcasses of rogues scattered around with the smell of rogue blood heavy in the air. Landon was still in his beast form. “Good job.” I spoke gruffly and swept past them with everyone following behind as we continued our mission to track the rogues. We hadn't gone too far when we came across another set of rogues. It looked like they were guarding another set that seemed to be their masters. We handled them like the rogues they were, dirty, smelly and useless. With a sense of urgency, we bursted into a large clearing with a small house situated in the middle and was greeted by an awful sight. Right before the front of the house was a group of female werewolves almost the size of a small pack with numerous chains entwined on their legs and hands that showed that they were been held captive.These she-wolves stared in horror as they watched the show an athletic man who stood before them was
CAMERON I allowed her to proceed with applying the contents of the bottle on my injury, its black liquid trailing down my arm, the potency of the lethal substance had weakened considerably and the injury was starting to heal faster - much faster though with my Lycan genes. My eyes continuously strayed from the injury to the dark haired woman applying the antidote.What in the name of doppelganger was happening here? I thought to myself. Landon too had stopped for a moment to take a good look at her. She looked like she was in her mid thirties even though her skin looked beaten up by the harsh weather and perhaps, untold sufferings. The green eyes, the long dark thick hair, their pale and smooth skin- this woman still had the looks even amidst hardship. I had a feeling that she would have a relationship of some sort with my mate. “Shit!” I muttered, guilt washing over me as I realized that I had not really had a heart to heart conversation with her save for very few exchanges. Gr
OLIVIA I sighed as I stepped out of the bathroom. The hot shower seemed to wash a little bit of the gnawing feeling of unease that threatened to overwhelm me. I slipped into a freshly laundered clean white t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, deliberately wearing a matching outfit with Cameron. Following Cameron's order to always get me fed, we both walked downstairs to the dining, my stomach rumbling slightly the moment I sat down for breakfast. “Sorry,” I looked up at Cameron, slightly flustered. “You shouldn't be, baby.” He said, giving me a peck on the forehead, his right hand stroking my hair as he took the seat next to me. ‘This is all thanks to you anyway.’ I mindlinked him. It isn't out of place for me to blame him seeing as he did not let me sleep the whole night. He smirked. ‘I take it that you are well satisfied this morning. So what if I do want more now? Huh?’ He mindlinked me back, the weight on his large palm on my thighs as he rubbed them gently. I felt my cheek b
OLIVIA “So if I get you clearly, you're saying there's a woman out there with a striking resemblance to me. She's been through a lot and you want me to go see her because you think I can help her heal from her trauma?” I asked my mate, unsure of his response. “Right.” He confirmed. With the way he's looking at me with skepticism, I can tell he is afraid that I would not buy his idea. Far from it, I'm rather impressed at how thoughtful he is. With how big, stoic and proud he is, you would think he had no emotion somewhere inside of him but I know better. “Baby, if you're not comfortable with it, we can just let it pass.” He tapped me, bringing me out of my thoughts. “Sure. Why not? I'll go see her.” I assured him with a smile. “I was just thinking about how, you know, how thoughtful you are, so different from your outward appearance.”“Really, Via?” He faked a frown, pretending to be hurt. “What happened to not judging a book by its cover?” He complained.I bursted into a long lou
CAMERON The result showed a heavy amount of the Aphrodite's kiss in her system. How on earth did she manage to live with such an unhealthy amount of that substance in her system? I immediately mindlinked Landon to request for the antidote.‘Send a message to the council to request for the Aphrodite's blur. It's highly needed here.’ The doctor left the room after ensuring that she was physically okay save for the marks she incurred while she scratched her body during her artificial heat.“Leave us.” I excused Lucas and his Luna.With just the two of us in the room, Clara made to sit up on the bed. “Your Majesty,” She called weakly.“Quit the formalities.” I ordered and pushed the chair towards her a bit.‘What a good way to be informal, human.’ Gray mocked. I inhaled a deep breath to compose myself. I would have to check the tone of my voice at all cost if I wanted her to be free with me. And if she is who I think she is, then by all means I needed to get informal with her. But
CAMERON I had to rush to the Red Moon pack in spite of my mate making a fuss. Thankfully, with Landon driving as fast as possible, we got there in good time and Clara had already been resuscitated. We hadn't gone quite far into the packgrounds when an unexpected voice sounded in my head. ‘Cameron, I'm sorry.’ My mate's sweet voice distracted my thoughts. ‘Wow! That was quick… and unexpected.’ I mindlinked her back, eagerly expecting another response. ‘Really?’ she chuckled and I responded with a chuckle too, knowing that she was rolling her eyes by now. Even though I'm upset, I know it's not at my mate. Believe me, I want to be angry at her for her frequent tantrums but I just can't bring myself to get angry at my sweet little wolf over something as trivial as this. Knowing how suspicious my action was this morning, I only wished she would give me a little more benefit of doubt. I couldn't tell her the real situation because it was supposed to be a surprise. ‘She’s still very
OLIVIAWith Cameron and me ravishing each other as much as we both desired, the days went by in a blur. Right now, I'm sitting on the bed, the sound of running water in the bathroom confirming that my mate was having a good shower without me. Cameron had to go back to tracking down rogue wolves again as that was his mission here in the first place but this time, he’s made sure to not neglect me like before. How could he? When there's a mindlink between us that works even long distance. ‘Seems you now mind me joining you in the bathroom.’ I half-joked and half-complained through the mindlink. ‘Never would, sweetness.’ he chuckled, knowing I did not take the issue of him having a shower alone half as seriously as I sounded. After having his bath and stepping into the walk-in closet to dress up, he pulled me into his big arms, kissing me softly on the face, his scent lingering on every part of my body he touched. “I wish I really didn't have so much to do today.” He hissed, obviously
CAMERON Restraining myself from eating my mate up while being with her for about a month now even though I badly wanted to, had to be the most quelling task I have ever had on my hands. I was a man with zero patience yet I literally had to battle to keep my primal need under control. Frankly, it wouldn't be too extra to say I deserved an award of some sort.I had always known it was going to be impossible for her and her wolf to accept me just like that so I was willing to wait. But what I did not know was how tough it was to keep my hands to myself. With my patience stretched so thin, I still wanted her to come to accept me as her mate by herself and at her own pace, not because she feels forced or obligated to do so. Good thing she came around soon enough and now that I've had a taste of her, I wasn't about to let her go so soon. Infact, I doubt I'll be letting go of her in a few hours. She's just the perfect one for me and I love her the way she is. I pushed her further into th
OLIVIA “I did not realize how much I missed her meals until now.” I tell Cameron as I excitedly move up the stairs with him in tow, his big hands on my waist. The taste of the scrumptious lunch or dinner - whatever it was we had, still lingered heavily in my mouth. Mrs. Mila's food was always mesmerizing to the taste buds. As soon as we walked into the bedroom, Cameron shut the door behind us, pulling me into his arms and rubbing me against his hardness.“There’s something much more delicious that you're yet to taste though.” He winked and pecked me on the forehead. “Really?” I widened my eyes in fake shock. “You have no idea.” He grinned, playing along with my acting. “So sorry then. I'm full already.” I rolled my eyes, pretending to be uninterested. “Since you're so full, I could eat you instead.” He whispered in my ears. The hoarse voice that accompanied his words sent sparks all over me shooting down to my core.‘Ooh… That's hot.’ Ava squealed in excitement. So what if I ju
OLIVIA “Welcome back home, my love.” Cameron held the door open for me to walk in. He whispered something to Landon and I'm shocked at how low and muffled it sounded. These Lycans sure knew how to have some gossip, whatever happened to the mindlink. I said to myself before responding to Cameron. “Yeah. Feels good to be back.” I muttered and made to head upstairs before Cameron grabbed my arm, dragging me back. For a brief moment, we stood holding each other captive in our gazes, the worry in my head slowly faded away into something else. Cameron lowered his head slowly, while I lifted mine up for our lips to meet. His lips sucked on mine possessively as his hands moved from my waist to rest on my butt.An unexpected rush of mixed feelings flooded my body, feelings that I couldn't decipher accurately. I can feel my happiness and relief with a sudden mix of lust to it and there's a very minute amount of skepticism - almost like I was imagining it. Ava purred in my head. ‘Shameless
OLIVIA ‘Mate! Mate! Mate!’ Ava leaped in my head, wagging her tail joyfully.‘Calm down, Ava. I'm still very dizzy.” I reprimanded her, my mind still in a fuss with my mate scents so strong in the air. Thank the Goddess, I wasn't hallucinating when I felt my mate scoop me up in his hands.I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart beat as Ava had decided to have a will of her own. I wonder how she is still this strong enough after the dose of wolfsbane even though I suspect that we might have been administered the antidote. ‘Mate’s presence helped us heal.’ Ava responded cheekily. I mentally smile at how happy she is for us to have finally acknowledged our mate though. The saying of ‘not realizing what you have until you almost lose it’ is so true. I never feared or worried about losing Cameron until Rowan almost marked me. I released a frustrated sigh and slowly opened my eyes. The bright light hit my eyes, making me shut them back again. After blinking severally, my eyes adju
