Susan's POVI walked into the palace as early as the early bird. I walked up the stairs and headed to Olivia's room. I met a guard there and I understood that Devon had done exactly as we discussed last night after I had given Olivia her medications."Good morning," I greeted the guard."Morning, ma'am," he answered and moved aside for me to get access to Olivia's room.I walked into Olivia's room and met her sitting in front of the mirror. I was not expecting her to be awake so early."Good morning, Olivia. How are you doing this morning?" I asked her with a smile.She turned to me and flashed a little smile and then it was gone."I'm here for your usual check up. Would you like to eat here in your room or you'll eat downstairs?" I asked her, but she stared at her fingers.I dipped my hand into my bag and pulled out a notepad and a pen. I walked over to her and placed it on the dressing table. "Here, Olivia. You can write what you want here," I said to her.She slowly picked up the n
Devon's POV"Actually, my alpha here isn't putting his words correctly," Damian said to her and she looked at him. "We need help," he added and I was forced not to roll my eyes at his statement."What kind of help do you need?" She asked."My wolf was locked in with the use of a potion and we're here because we believe you could be of help to me," I replied."Do you have any potion that could unlock his wolf?" Damian asked her.She shook her head. "I'm so sorry, but I'm unable to help," she replied."Why?" I asked, narrowing my eyes and i could feel a burn in between my brows. After searching for a witch for a while and finally finding her, she was useless to me. I did not want this to be added to my list of worries anymore. I had thought that it was about to be ticked off."I don't know anything about locking wolves or unlocking them. I'm more into love potions, healing potions and all that good stuff if you unders
Candice's POVI was surprised when Olivia took a step from me. I was about to speak when a guard came closer. "I'm sorry, but you have to leave. You're not allowed to be closed to get close to her," he said and I widened my eyes in surprise."What?" I inquired."You heard me," he replied."I'm not moving an inch from here until I speak with that loser over there," I replied."It's either you leave by yourself or I use force," he said.Just then, Olivia shuffled on her feet and the guard turned to look at her. "Miss, I think you should head inside," he said and she had her eyes down, refusing to look up and still not saying anything."And you, why are you so darn quiet?" I asked her as I uncrossed my arms an at the sound of my voice, she stepped back. "Am I not talking to you?" I asked again, raising my voice this time around and she shivered. "Did being in coma suddenly turn you into a mute again?" I demanded harshl
Olivia's POVI got back into my room and I was literally shivering. Why was the lady at the courtyard saying? Why was she mean to me and what did she mean by I was in a car accident and also in coma? My head started to ache as I thought of it and flashes of blurred images went through my head. I placed my hands on my head and groaned as I fell on the bed.Why was every bit of word she or anybody says always sparked up a memory? Most of all, why was everything so familiar?Devon's POVI returned back to the palace in the evening and went straight to Olivia's room. I met the guard at her door."Good evening, alpha," he greeted."Good evening. Is everything alright?" I asked him."Yes, alpha. It's just that Candice showed up earlier today and..." He began to explain."What?" I Interrupted him and he nodded."Miss Olivia wanted to take a walk in the courtyard, but Candice showed up. I ensured
Candice's POVI opened Susan's laptop and typed in her password like I memorized the last time I saw her logging into it. Just as I predicted, she was doing some research on how someone could recover their memory quickly without pressure and I knew that someone was Olivia. Everything was adding up. I went further into her research and discovered that there were medications for such ailments. "If I should get my hands on those medications," I muttered to myself. I scrolled further and saw where it was written about ensuring that a person with memory loss is not forcefully made to remember or... I could not finish reading it when I heard the sound of a taxi and I knew Susan was back. I quickly logged out of her laptop and shut it close as I rushed out of her room.Susan came back to the house with a frown on her face. "What did you say to Olivia?" She demanded."Oh, please. Do not stress me this evening. How was I to know she had lost her memory?" I ask
Devon's POVI was unable to sleep and when I felt pains in my heart, I knew it was because of Olivia amd that was why I was restless. I had rushed over to her room only to be hearing noises. I was shocked to see Candice when I opened the door and there was Olivia, sprawled on the floor in tears."Candice!" I yelled in shock and in anger."Help me," Olivia spoke for the first time amidst her tears since she lost her memory. It reminded me so much of when we first met at the mating ceremony.I walked over to shocked Candice, whom had now straightened up from her hovering over Olivia.I grabbed her arm forcefully. "How dare you come in here and create havoc?" I demanded in anger as I pushed her away.Olivia was still holding her head and this time around, she was groaning. I bent towards her and held her."Olivia are you okay?" I asked her in perplexity."Devon," she whispered faintly with drowsy eyes and then slipped into unconsciousness. I was shocked at what just happened."Olivia!" I
Damian's POVDevon marched up to the cell where Candice was locked up. The guard opened the cell door for him. He was very angry. Candice stood like she wasn't scared but I could see that she was frightened by the sight of Devon. His raging anger was about to erupt into flames."What gave you the right to sneak into Olivia's room and try to hurt her?" He demanded in anger."Try to hurt her? I was helping her regain her memory. After all, she remembered it. She said your name," Candice defended and was expecting Devon to be gullible about her lie."Do I look like some illiterate miscreant to you?" He demanded and I knew his anger was at the edge of descending on her.She took a step back. "I'm sure you know very well what this would cause to her. You know the harm of it all and that was why you decided to go ahead and do this terrible thing!" He yelled."What was I to do?!" Candice yelled back, tears gathering in he
Susan's POV"You're going to get me out of here," she said."What?" I was perplexed."Or I'll tell Devon the plan you hatched to separate them, miss two goodie shoes," she said with a twinkle in her eyes. Right there I knew, I had made plans with the devil.It was wrong of me to have told Candice about my insidious plans before and now she was blackmailing me for it."I cannot be locked up here till that brat regains her memory. Neither can I stay locked up here while you portray yourself as the most righteous person on earth being so lovely and performing her duties," she said in a serious tone with an hint of sarcasm in her last words."I am performing my rightful duties," I replied her through gritted teeth."That's totally your business, Susan," she replied."You can't blackmail me for a plan that we did not follow through with," I said, standing my ground and refusing to be blackmailed.She sm
Olivia's POVDawn took extremely too long to come and I guessed it was due to my over excitement for today. Noon did the same thing and when evening slowly approached, I was seated in front of the vanity mirror with Gabi, Susan and a couple other ladies beside me.Right now, I was surrounded by ladies I see in the pack, but do not know them and that I had barely associated with.It was all going to change when I finally become the Lady of the house. The Luna of the silvermoon pack. Fuss was made over my nails of what nail polish color would fit perfectly on it. I let them make the fuss cause I did not care much about it. I just wanted to be linked arm in arm with my groom and tell him ' I do'. They finally decided on a chic blue nail polish coupled with a glitter lacquer polish for design. It did turn out great and my toe nails were given a nude nail polish color after minutes of a nice pedicure. Same fuss was made over my hair of which style would fit the Lady of the house. I had
Devon's POVThe training lasted till midnight before Damian everyone to retire to their rooms for the battle ahead.The morning came more quickly than expected but the pack warriors did not look like they lacked sleep. For this has done this before.I addressed the pack concerning the battle with the tyrant, Rodrigo. A few warriors were assigned to guard the palace with all their strength.We were ready, dressed, swords in our hands and guns too for the battle that was about to take place.Just then sounds of hooves on the ground and approaching cars could be heard from a distance."It's now or never," Damian said to me. He was indeed ready.Hell let loose as bullets and arrows flew around. It came out so sudden. I almost pushed Damian out of the way as an arrow was fired towards him, he fell down to the ground as I went off to grab who had fired the arrow.Rodrigo's men were advancing towards us, a battalion of them. My warriors charged towards them. Heads were ripped off, hearts we
Devon's POVThe sudden appearance of the red moon was quite baffling. It arrival before it said date took us off guard. The pack guards went in search of the sage in the caves but as usual there was nothing. Perhaps, this was just a facade of the red moon? I pondered.I got back to the palace and Olivia was not in her room. I asked about her from Gabi and she told me Olivia was in the garden.I got there and saw her staring at a plant. "Hey, love. What are you looking at?" I asked her."Hi, um, it's this green plant, it shines but it won't let me uproot it," she replied."Let me see," I said as I drew nearer to the plant. It was the sage! "My, it's the sage," I said in excitement.She grinned. "Well, uproot it!" She said to me. I tried to uproot it but it wouldn't. This was just a plant and not a tree, yet it was hard to uproot. I tried severally but it would not come out of the ground. "How about we do it together?" She suggested. I agreed and when we did, the sage came off so easily
Devon's POVThe more she lied the more she infuriated me. "You don't know what I'm talking about?" I asked her again and she stared at me. "Fine," I added as I dialled Damian's number. "Bring the girl in," I said into the phone and then hung up.A few minutes later, Damian walked into the house with Trisha who was frightened. Candice could not hide the horror on her face."Will you claim not to know this woman?" I asked her."I don't know her," Candice replied with confidence."Stop lying!" Trisha yelled at her. "Look at what you've gotten me into. These guys came to the club and dragged me out like a loser. I warned you about this but you still indulged me into it by tempting me with what I love the most," Trisha said to Candice in anger."Liar! I don't know you!" Candice yelled at her."Trisha, repeat everything you told me about Candice in the car," I said to her.Trisha swallowed. "Candice and I are co-workers at the strip club," she began to say and Olivia was shocked. "She came
Candice's POVI returned back to the house and I saw Susan with a blanket wrapped her shoulder as she sipped a cup containing coffee I believe. "Why are you all wrapped up when it's barely chilling outside?" I asked her."I'm just thinking," she replied.I snickered as I sat down on the chair. "That's why you're all covered up," I said. "Well, how's Olivia?" I asked her.She shrugged. "Not so good. She's still inside," she replied."What must have happened? Why is she so shaken?" I asked."Well, Devon came by today. Turns out that the reason why Olivia is upset and quiet is because of him," she said with a sigh."Oh my, what happened?" I asked as I pretended as if I did not know what was going on."It turns out Olivia has a video of Devon cheating on her with some girl and some pictures too," she replied."What?" I exclaimed, pretending to be shocked. She nodded, buying all my pretentious act. Damn, I was a good actress!"It's so strange. Devon is so in love with Olivia. I can't belie
Devon's POVI got to Susan's place and she immediately opened the door. "Where is she?" I asked as I got in."She's in my room. She won't come out and I have been hearing crying sounds coming from there," she said as she led me to her room.We got to her room and there was Olivia laying face down on the bed in a red dress. "Olivia," I called her name and her body immediately stiffened before she turned around and got off from the bed. "What are you doing here?" She demanded with so much anger in her voice as she stared hard at me with puffy eyes."You're crying," I said going close to her."Don't you dare come close to me. Don't you dare!" She yelled out at me."Olivia, I'm sorry," I was burdened by her behavior as I apologized. I had no idea that the dinner date meant so much to her."Get out," she replied without looking at me."Olivia, I..." I began to say but she did not let me finish when she interrupted me."I said get out!" She yelled in anger."I'm sorry!" I yelled back, not
Damian's POVThe security personnel went through the CCTV footage but unfortunately, there was no sign of Devon leaving the hotel. He was only seen going into the men's room. I almost missed the next person that went in when I suddenly saw her and asked him to pause. "Zoom in," I said to him and he did. A woman was going into the men's room too. She had black hair, but her face could not be seen. "Hell, what is a woman going to do at the men's room," I pondered out aloud.The security personnel shrugged. "Is there no footage of the woman or Devon coming out of the men's room?" I asked him."No, sir. You can see from the footage that nothing like that happened and there doesn't seem to be any glitch anywhere in the system," he replied.I groaned inwardly. "Thank you very much," I said as I patted his shoulder."You're welcome," he replied as I walked out of the room. Where was Devon and who was that woman? I pondered deeply.I got back to the hotel hallway and spoke to the guards we ca
Olivia's POVI stumbled back in shock unable to believe my eyes. I held the chair to stable myself from falling.It was as if my eyes were deceiving me. I paused as the phone slipped down from my hand. Was this the launch Devon claimed to be at?Perhaps, images might be deceiving, but I had no idea what pushed me to leave the palace and get to the hotel.On getting there, another message came in, directing me to the room Devon was in. I walked up the stairs, used the elevators and I could feel my heart in my throat as I got out of the elevator.What would I see? I knew it would be something that I would not be able hold in. I got to the room and opened the door and lo and behold, before my very eyes, there was that same woman I saw yesterday humping over Devon.I closed my mouth in shock and pain as tears cascaded down my eyes. I left the door slightly ajar as I ran out of the hallway. I kept running till I was out of the hotel.I could not scream even when I possibly wanted to. My ha
Candice's POV"What?!" Trisha exclaimed, almost spitting her cappuccino in my face."Hush, calm down Trish," I said to her as I looked around the strip club, ensuring that no one was eavesdropping on us."What do you mean by calm down, Candice? That I should frame Devon up? Are you kidding me right now?" She literally yelled at me."You're not really framing him up, Trish," I replied."What do you call drugging a man in an hotel room, and taking pictures with him?" She demanded."Stop sounding like this is the first time you're doing such a thing," I frowned at her."And so? At least I know the kind of men I do such with. Not men like Devon and especially not Devon. Please, Candice!" She flared up.I slapped my forehead. "So, you're not going to do this?" I asked her."No amount of money will make me mess with someone like Devon. Count me out," she said as she stopped her cappuccino and turned away."Not even for half a million bucks?" I asked her and she paused and turned around."Ha
