Susan's POVI returned back to the palace and went straight to Olivia's room. I had to give her, her evening dose. She was sitting on the bed, her knees pulled up to her chin with her feet curled. She was with a book and was engrossed with it. I wondered where she got it from."Hi, Olivia," I said and she lifted her head up and when she saw it was me, she gave me a little smile.I sat beside her. "You're reading," I said in an enthusiastic voice and she nodded. "May I take a look?" I asked her and she showed the front page to me. "Some romance," I said with a smile and she nodded again."Devon gave this to you?" I guessed and she shrugged as she picked up her notepad and pen.I saw it on the table this Evening, she wrote and showed it to me.I chuckled. "Alright," I replied, knowing fully well that Devon did this. I stood up as I placed my box on the table. "I'm here to give you your drugs, okay?" I said to her as I pulled out the two bottles containing her drugs.I poured a glass of
Olivia's POVI opened the wardrobe in my room and all the dresses in it looked so familiar as if I have wore them before. Everything all of a sudden was becoming more familiar than before. I placed my hand on my head feeling a massive headache coming.All of a sudden, I remembered what happened two nights ago. I could see a woman coming into my room.She chuckled. "Yeah, that's right. Shiver in fear, you mute," she said. "If you scream? I'll slit your throat," she warned as she pulled out a pocket knife.I pressed my head tighter, hoping the throbbing pain and the memory would stop but it was just the beginning."You see, all these would not have been necessary if you had just died in that car accident or better still, died in your coma. But, no. You decided to wake up. You decided to wake up from your fucking eternal slumber!"I gasped as I stumbled back a bit."Remember when Blue poisoned you? You shoul
Olivia's POVI woke up on the bed and I wondered how I got there. I got up to a sitting position and groaned as I felt a slight headache. "Miss, you're awake," I heard Gabi say excitedly.She walked up to me. "Are you okay? I found you on the floor when I came to bring you lunch," she explained.I nodded that I was fine. "I called doctor Susan and she told me what to do. Let me call her again and tell her that you're awake," she said and i nodded as she walked out of the room.I wondered why I had been on the floor. What happened? I tried to remember, but nothing was forth coming. I could not remember a single thing that had made me fall to the floor.Devon's POV"We're here for a solution," I responded, after getting myself back together."Very well then," she smiled and her face returned back to the sweet innocent looking Lisa we just met some moments ago.She stood up from the chair and started
Devon's POVI opened my eyes the next morning but my vision was dazed. I could hear Lisa talking on the phone and I strained my ears to hear her."I told you, Natalie. I'll finally have guests that stayed over till the next day. Ha! I won this bet you made five years ago, admit it," she said with a thrilled voice over the phone. So, this was just a bet to her?"No! I did nothing! They stayed on their own! From the pictures I sent, did you not see how peaceful they slept?" She asked and there was a pause. Natalie on the other line must be talking."I did not!" Lisa yelled out, getting angry. "I do not care if you believe me or not. I had people stay over. That was the bet. The rule didn't say I was not allowed to do anything. Pay up, little sister," she said with a sneer before ending the phone call.I struggled to sit up and finally I had my strength. My eyes were cleared and I nudged Damian, but he had taken much of the tea and was still drowning in sleep."You're awake!" She exclai
Olivia's POVA hard slap fell across my face and I fell flat, laying sprawled on the floor. That was my father. The slap had just come from him. I had forgotten about how often I usually got slapped by him and right now, a memory of it lingered in my head. I was foolish to have ever thought that I could escape from this madness some day. No mate to save me from him, the rest of my family and the pack.Because of their brutality, I had missed the mating ceremony."You're very sick upstairs. I will not repeat myself again. You will do as I have said!" He roared at me."How can I hurt a man I do not know? A man who has not hurt me in anyway," I asked him as tears stung my eyes and choked my throat."Do not ask me questions. By evening, I expect a positive response from you," he said and with that, he walked away.I curled up, placing my back on the wall. Everything about this conversation seemed so awfully familiar and my head began to ache once more.Brent's POV"Despite her memory los
Devon's POVJason's body was pulled out by the gammas and taken away to be buried. This proved that Candice was not responsible for Olivia's disappearance, rather, it was someone whom was with a purpose. Candice could be capable of anything, perhaps, murder included, but she did not have the strength to break a grown man's neck.This incident subtly reminded me of Blue, the day I went to her cell and found the palace guards neck broken, including hers.Panic surge through me. Did the people that used Blue to poison Olivia, have her in their custody now?But, why was there not a call? Has Olivia being killed?I worried deeply as I paced around the room."Who would have done this?" Damian suddenly asked me."I have no idea, Damian," I replied as I tried not to panic."I think Brent is responsible for this. He's with Olivia. The other day at the hospital, he wouldn't have it that Olivia was coming with us. He just laid back a bit because he doesn't want to create a scene in a human hospi
Olivia's POV I had ran out of the room where I was confined to the moment I heard Devon's voice. I had felt a rush of excitement and relief when I saw him, until father had forced me to stop in my attempt to walk towards him. "Olivia," he called in a low and condescending tone and I stopped. "You will not move an inch close to him," he warned and I did not. I couldn't because I was scared of him. "You have a tendency of making people hate you the more, don't you?" Devon asked him in anger. "It's none of your business, Devon. Go home, Olivia will stay here with her family. Her real family," he replied. "That's not what she wants," Devon said, narrowing his eyes at him. "Why don't you ask her," Father said to him. "Fine, I'll ask myself," Father said and went ahead to ask me. "Olivia, are you staying with me or this stranger you don't know?" He asked. With trembling fingers, I looked up and pointed at him, my father even though all of me screamed no. "You're imposing on her!" D
Devon's POVI was distraught when Olivia said she couldn't remember me. She finally did speak but she did not remember me. With this and a heavy heart, I did not mind the shoving of the guards. I kept looking at her, hoping that she would remember, but with each look, she did not seem to remember me and all of our moments together.Devastated, I turned away and headed towards the car when I suddenly heard her call out to me. It was like a whisper that the wind blown into my ear. I stopped, maybe I would hear it again. Maybe I was hallucinating it all and when the voice did not come to me again, I walked on. I got to the car and opened it. I was about to get into the car when I heard her voice loud and clear this time."Devon!"I stopped and turned sharply in her direction. There, I saw her standing up and running towards me.Did she remember? I pondered in anxiety. Nobody was stopping her from coming to me. They all had a speechless and shocked expression on their faces.She got to me
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
