Olivia POVI stood there looking at the man sitting in front of us, my heart pounding with feral, but before I could do anything, the guards came rushing around the corner. "Princess Fay, are you okay?" one of them asked me. I nodded my head, just watching them as they grabbed the man and dragged him away.We rushed back to the palace. Not wanting to waste any time, I wanted answers from this man for many reasons. It wasn't just the smell of rosemary that made me think he was the person that attacked me. It was also his voice. I remembered his voice from the night I escaped death.As we entered the palace, Allen rushed to my side and asked me if I was okay. I assured him that I was fine, but he turned to Alexander with anger radiating from his every pore."Are you behind all of this?" Allen growled at Alexander, his eyes blazing with fury.Alexander's expression softened as he shook his head in disbelief. "No, Allen. I had no idea that one of my guards was here in the kingdom. The onl
Alexander POVI slammed his fist on the table, causing the guard to flinch in fear. "Tell me why you were here!" I demanded, my voice filled with anger and frustration.The guard's eyes widened in terror as he spoke, "Please, Alpha, have mercy. I-I was just following orders.""Whose orders?" I growled, leaning closer to the guard. "Who sent you here?"The guard swallowed nervously before finally speaking up. "Please, if I tell you, they will kill my whole family".I scoffed at his weak attempt to plead for mercy. "Do you think I care about your family? You have one last chance to tell me the truth, or I swear, what I will do to you will be worse than anything anyone else could ever do."The guard's eyes filled with tears as he begged, "Please, Alpha, have mercy on me."I clenched my jaw in frustration and turned around to see Fay standing behind me. Her eyes flickered towards the guard, a hint of recognition flashing through them."Fay," I called out to her, wanting to make sure she w
Olivia's POVI walked out of the room and leaned against the door. The guard is one of the people who chased me and made me fall into the wolfbane hole three years ago.Seeing him reminded me of that horrible night.I would never forget his face. So, it was easy for me to know that Rebecca had something to do with it."Enough!" Alexander's rage-filled voice came from the other side of the door. "Do you have any idea what you have done not only to me, your Alpha, but also the pain you have coursed other people"There was a loud bang in the room, telling me I needed to go in there and stop Alexander from killing this man because the pack members deserved the chance to decide his fate for the loss that they went through.Going into the room, Alexander had the man picked against the wall. Fear was clear in the man's eyes as he begged his alpha for his life. "Stop. He will answer to the pack, and they will decide his fate," I ordered.Alexander let the man go. Allen came in, taking the man
Alexanders povStaring down at her, a mix of emotions swirled inside of me. How was this possible, and how did I not know? I had noticed so many familiar things about her, but if Olivia was true, mate, how did I not know it before? My mind was reeling as I tried to make sense of everything that was happening in front of me. Olivia, my lost wife who had run away three years ago, was standing right in front of me, her mask finally falling off to reveal her true identity.As Allen rushed to Olivia's side and helped her up, I couldn't help but feel a surge of possessiveness. This woman, my mate, belonged with me. I couldn't let her slip away again."No," I growled, stepping forward to stop them. I reached out and grabbed Olivia's arm, causing Allen to push me away."Unhand my wife," Allen demanded, his eyes flashing with anger."She is not your wife," I snarled back at him. "She is mine."Olivia ripped her arm away from me, her eyes blazing with defiance. "I am not your wife anymore," she
Olivias pov Sitting in Victor's office waiting for him, I could feel panic overtaking me. I felt weak, just like I had been back when I was forced to become Alexander's wife. Victor finally entered the room, his eyes immediately locking onto mine. "Olivia, are you okay?" he asked, his concern in his voice.I forced a smile and nodded. "I'm fine," I replied, trying to sound strong despite the fear that was eating away at me. "But I'm worried about my children and their safety."Victor's expression softened as he took a seat beside me. "I promise you, Olivia, Allen and I will do everything in our power to protect you and your children. You have nothing to worry about."Just then, Lidia burst into the office, her face twisted with anger. "You can't have Alpha Alexander removed from the kingdom!" she exclaimed.Victor stood up, facing her with a determined look. "I have no choice, Lidia. For the safety of Olivia and her children, he needs to be taken away."Lidia's eyes widened in disbel
I watch as Victor enters the playroom, his shoulders slumped and his eyes heavy with exhaustion. I can see the pain etched in his features from the recent rogue attack, and my heart aches for him. He shouldn't have to endure this kind of suffering, especially not because of me.I gestured for the maid to take the twins, Liam and Sarah, out to get something to eat. As Liam got to the door, he paused, turning to look at me with a big smile. "I'll be back soon, Mummy," he said before running off to join his sister.I couldn't help but smile at his sweet gesture. With his dark hair and piercing blue eyes, Liam was the spitting image of his father. But he was kinder and more loving than his father could ever be, and I hope so much that he stays that way and never turns out like his father.Sarah, on the other hand, modelled herself after me. She had my blonde hair and grey eyes, but she also had my stubbornness. She was fiercely independent and never wanted help with anything.I smiled bac
Alexander povI watched as Olivia walked away, her words burning into me like hot knives. She was right. She didn't owe me anything I owed her. I knew I had to find out the truth about Cassandra's death, and the only person who could give me answers was Rebecca. I made my way down to the cellars where she was being kept prisoner.The air in the cellars was musty and cold, sending shivers down my spine as I approached Rebecca's cell. She looked up at me with weary eyes, a mix of fear and defiance swirling in them."What do you want?" she asked, her voice hoarse from disuse."I need to know what really happened to Cassandra," I said, trying to keep my tone steady despite the emotions raging inside me.Rebecca looked away from me. "And why should I tell you?"I gritted my teeth, frustration bubbling up inside me. "Because I know you were there that night, and I know you had something to do with it.”She got up from the floor coming towards the door with tears in her eyes. “You already kn
Olivia's povWe gathered in the great hall. I sat by Victor's side as we watched the pack members file in. Everyone was still talking about my face being revealed. Rumours spread about why I hid my face, but Victor had hushed them as fast as they came. As Victor stood at the front of the hall, the atmosphere grew tense. The doors were closed, and all eyes were on him. His voice boomed through the room, commanding everyone's attention."We are here today for justice," Victor began, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "Justice for the criminals that infiltrated our pack and caused so much pain."I felt a knot form in my stomach as I watched Rebecca being brought in by guards alongside the guard from Alexander's kingdom who had aided her. They still hadn't found the other culprit responsible for the chaos that had ensued.Rebecca's parents stood amongst the crowd, their faces etched with a mix of sadness and embarrassment. My heart ached for them, knowing the shame they must be feeling for
