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 POVI shrugged. After much persuasion and taunting from Candice, I finally gave in. "Alright, fine," I replied.She grinned. "See, that wasn't so hard," she replied."Olivia, you don't have to listen to Candice," Susan said to me."Do not worry, Susan. We are not spending too much," I replied."Candice is a spender. Just be ready to hide that card from her," Susan teasingly warned me and I chuckled.Candice pretended to be shocked as she placed her hand on her chest. "Touche, Susan. You think so little of me," she replied."I know you in that aspect and that's why I'm giving her a heads up," Susan."Whatever," Candice rolled her eyes. "I have my own credit card to get anything extra I want. Can we go now?" She asked."Sure. Just give me a few minutes to get ready and pick up the card," I replied."Alright. We'll be waiting," Candice replied and I walked away.I returned to my room, picked up a fur coat, my bag and the credit card. My wolf kept bugging me about how this was no
Olivia's POVI paid for the dress and Candice as usual suggested that I get other things too like heels to go with the dress.I was against it though, but with Susan convincing and since the heels did not cost a fortune, I accepted and got it too. Susan and Candice got some stuffs for themselves too.Devon's POVI went through the files that my secretary had brought in one more time when Damian walked into the office. "Devon?" He called."Yes? I'm sort of busy right now," I replied without looking at him."I think you should take a look at debits from one of the accounts," he said and I finally looked at him as he brought the apple tablet he was holding closer."Here," he said pointing at one of the debit alerts. "This was made noon. Roughly Twelve:Forty Five PM. The sum of seventy thousand was debited and just a few minutes ago, a hundred thousand dollars was withdrawn too," he explained pointing at debit alerts."From which account?" I inquired, narrowing my brows."The Citibank ac
Devon's POVOlivia's expression proved that she had no idea that kind of money was spent. I wasn't worried about the sum of money, I just knew the kinda woman I was mated to.I really did not clear if she spent millions. My concern was that she was influenced to do something as this which was against her nature and I suspected it to be Candice."Two hundred thousand dollars?!" She exclaimed more loudly this time. "I did not spend that," she replied and was about to go into a frenzy when I held her."It's okay. You don't have to start panicking," I said.She tried to move away. "I have to panic. I did spend that or even close. I have receipts. I saw this dress that costs about fifty thousand dollars, but I rejected it immediately. I bought a replica of the dress that costs a thousand and that was because Susan agreed that it was good evdn though Candice..." She began to speak but stopped when she realized she had said Candice's name."Even though Candice what, Olivia?" I asked her."I
Olivia's POVEverything replaying was just like the mating ceremony. They began to drag me amongst themselves as they claimed me."Mine, mine," they growled in my ears. Tears filled my eyes and I could not stop them from rolling down my cheeks. I tried to stop them but the dragged me the more and the dress I wore, it seemed to be torn."Please, stop," I pleaded as their wolves emerged and their fingers sprang out and dug into my skin as each of they claimed me as theirs. I fell to the ground and I just wished someone would come and rescue me. Anybody at this crucial moment of my life."Olivia!"I heard Devon scream out my name and I look up to see him heading my way in speed. I was so thankful that he came early. Who knows what would have happened to me now."Let go of her," he commanded.But they snarled at him. His own pack gammas could not obey him due to the fact that they were under the influence of the stealer wolf scent.He got closer and forcefully pushed them away from me as
Susan's POV"This is not the time for this, Devon. Put your differences aside. Remember she's my nurse and Olivia needs our help," I replied.He stared hard at Candice. "Fine. This way," he said as he began to hurriedly walk towards the hallway of the palace and Candice and I followed him.We got to the living room of the palace and saw one of the gammas knocked down there."Where's Olivia?" I asked her."In her room. They seemed to be too hysterical about her tonight," he responded as we mounted the stairs.We finally got into Olivia's room and there she was panicking as she paced around the floors.She looked up when she saw us. "Finally, you're here," she said, her spirit suddenly lifted at the sight of us.I went over to her. "Yes, yes. Come sit," I replied as I pulled her towards the bed. I sat beside her as Candice came over and sat on the other side of the bed.I pulled out the potion from my bag. "Here, take it. One drop at a time, remember?" I said and she nodded as she took
Candice's POVOlivia seemed to calm down for a few seconds, but then, she started to hyperventilate. If Susan does not walk through that door in the next ten seconds, she was gone. In ten, nine, eight, seven, six,"Olivia, please," Devon began to plead emotionally. I almost gagged. What did he see in her exactly? What was so special about her that he could not look away from her or spare another woman a glance?"What's happening?" I began to pretend as if I was panicking."I don't know," Devon replied as he held Olivia. His voice was very agitated and filled with anguish. What the fuck was wrong with him?! It did not matter anymore. She was going to die anyway.Five, four, three, two, I began to count with a malicious smile in my heart. Suddenly, Susan burst through the door and I cursed her efficiency."Susan, thank goodness, you're here," I began to talk to her to stall her. But already, she had prepared an injection from home and she hurried over to Olivia.Olivia stopped hypervent
Susan's POVI knew it was poison immediately Olivia began to showcase the symptoms. On my way back to the house, I had done my research on what type of poison it was through the way Olivia reacted to it. As soon as I got into the house, I had mixed the dosage she needed and had brought it back to the palace. The injection was still active despite the fact that the poison had gotten to her bloodstream. My question was how did Candice get to mix such a deadly poison with Olivia's potion?"I don't know what you're talking about," Candice replied as she stared at me."Please, do not give me that nonsense. It is just you and I that stays in that house. How come Olivia's potion was poisoned?" I asked her."How am I supposed to know that? Why would I even want to poison her? We've become friends and I hold nothing against her," she said."Don't give me that. How am I sure that this is not an act?" I asked her and she got angry."What act?" She asked. "Need I remind you that only you knew whe
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
