Devon's POVI wondered why Olivia would be too gullible to believe that Candice has turned into a new leaf. For a while she wanted Olivia out of the way and now she was here claiming to be a changed person.It was not possible in anyway that Candice has changed.Olivia sighed as she forked on her meal at the same time Damian walked up to the dining table."What took you so long?" I asked him as he pulled his seat backwards."I'm sorry, Devon. I was talking to the gammas about the approaching blue moon," he responded as he sat down."Oh, alright," I replied."Olivia?" He called and Olivia lifted her head to look at him."Hm?" She hummed."Are you alright?" He asked."Hm.. yeah," she nodded as she looked down again.•After dinner, I went to Olivia's room and she was already getting ready to retire for the night."Olivia," I called her name.She turned around to look at me. "Hm?" She hummed."Are you not speaking because of what I said during dinner?" I asked her."What did you say?" Sh
Susan's POVI walked into the palace later in the afternoon and went to Olivia's room to check up on her but she wasn't there. I was puzzled. Where would Olivia be? I wondered.I walked down the stairs at the same time Devon was walking into the palace. His eyes brightened in surprise when he saw me. "Susan, what brings you here?" He asked."Greetings, alpha. I came here to see Olivia," I replied."Oh, that's great. It's been a while you have been in here. Have you seen her?" He asked me."No. She's not in her room," I responded.He raised a brow. "Did you check the courtyard?" He asked."I passed there on my way here, she isn't there either," I replied and he was suddenly perplexed too.I suddenly remembered Candice saying that she was going to come here to speak with Olivia whom she claimed to be her friend now. Did this mean that Candice was serious when she said she was coming here? Hell, I thought the crazy girl was just messing around.
Devon's POVI wondered why she was reading through Candice's fake appearance. There was no way that Candice woke up one morning then decided to be good. It was impossible."Olivia, listen.." I began to say but she cut me short."Why can't you see the good in her?" She asked me and I kept quiet. "She's making an effort to be good but you still see her as a villain. She's trying her best to change, not just for us but for herself and you don't want her to show up for it," she said."Why is she suddenly close to you, uh? Just some weeks ago she wanted to ensure that you no longer had your memory and now she's suddenly close to you. Pretending to be a changed person. Read through the lines," I tried to make her see reasons with me.She stared at me. " Why can't you give her a chance? I gave you a chance didn't I?" She asked me.I furrowed my brows as I straightened up and stared at her. "What do you mean?" She swallowed. "You treated me as a maid despite the fact that I was your mate, ye
Olivia's POVI walked down the stairs the next morning and headed to the dining room. Devon was already seated with Damian. I inhaled deeply as my heart started to race when I saw him. Put yourself together, girl, I said to myself. I walked closer to them."Good morning," I greeted."Morning," they both said in unison."How are you doing this morning?' Damian proceeded in asking me."Very well, Damian and you?" I asked as I sat down."I'm good too," he responded and I gave him a little smile.Devon did not speak to me throughout breakfast, neither did he spare me a glance. I wondered if he was angry about the argument we had yesterday.I should be the one angry and not him. He should be willing to give someone a chance. He never can tell if it's real until he does give it a try,but he was too stubborn.He was blindly believing that Candice could never change. But, could he not see from her actions recently that she was trying her best to? I pondered as I ate slowly.Occasionally, I st
Olivia's POVCandice and I had a good time discussing about random things. She was such a fun person to be with and I could not help but wish that she had been a good person from the start. We would have become great friends. But then, it was not too late to be friends with her.She had left in the evening and I was finally alone and bored again. I decided to go to the courtyard and roam around in the garden. I walked out of my room and headed down the stairs.I walked down the stairs and suddenly missed my step. I gasped as I expected to fall flat on my behind, but all of a sudden, I was held from behind which refrained me from falling.Inside of falling down on the hard floor, I fell into a pair of strong arms.I opened my eyes that I had closed briefly and my eyes locked with that of Devon. He had being my rescuer.We stood that way for a fleeting moment and I wondered what went through his mind. The mind barrier was up and I could not hear him.He cleared his throat and I realized
Candice's POVI had finally built my trust with Olivia. Our friendship deepened and blossomed over a week. It was quite had to keep playing pretense, but I had to do it for the money. A million dollars? Nah, I could not let it slip off my fingers. I went to the palace to see Olivia again and as I got there, she was walking down the stairs."Candice," she said in enthusiasm and I smiled at her."Olivia, how are you doing?" I asked her."I'm fine. I haven't seen you around. Is everything alright?" She asked me."Everything is fine. I've just been a little too busy," I replied."Oh, too busy for your friend now, I see," she said feigning anger and I chuckled."I'm here now, ain't I?" I asked her.She chuckled. "Well, you are," she responded.Just then, Devon walked down the stairs and walked closer to her playing blindness to my presence. He squuezed her waist and placed a kiss on her cheek."Hey, love," he said to her.She smiled. "Good morning," she greeted sweetly. "Where are you goin
Olivia's POVI was still standing by the window when Devon returned with Damian. He was already dressed again and I guessed it was Damian who had brought him clothes. I hurried out of the room and rushed down the stairs to meet him outside the palace as I was unable to wait any longer.I hurried out of the palace and when I got outside, Devon had a gloomy expression on his face. Despite the fact that some of the pack members were outside, I hurried towards him worriedly. "Are you okay?" I asked him as I touched the side of his face.He swallowed as he looked at me downcast. "Tonight was the blue moon," he said and I nodded in understanding."Okay, what happened? Talk to me, please," I urged him in a pleading voice."The guards searched every cave they could find and so did I and..." He began to explain and then stopped, unable to continue."And?" I urged him as I suddenly felt distressed."There was no white flower," he finally said with a gloomy expression on his face and I looked at
Devon's POVMy happiness knew no bounds when Olivia showed me the flower. At this point, she was like a god sent to me. "What should we do with the flower?" She asked me."We'll keep it. Until we find the Sage, we cannot take it to Lisa just yet," I replied."Alright," she replied as she kept calm on my chest and allowed me stroke her hair.•I finally left Olivia's room, leaving the white flower in her possession. Since she found it, there was no better person to look after it than her.I bumped into Damian on my way to my room. "Your expression has changed into a good one. What happened? What did Olivia show you that has lightened up your mood?" He bombarded me with questions."Wait, don't tell me," he cut me short before I could open my mouth to speak. "Is it..." He asked as his lips twirk up in amusement and a devilish twinkle in his eyes.I immediately got a grasp of what he was talking about. "No, you pervert," I replied as I shunned away his dirty thoughts.He chuckled. "What t
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
