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
“I have sent for the maid from Alexander's kingdom who wrote the confusion letter,” Victor said as he placed the letter down on the table. I played with the food in front of me. My appetite was suddenly gone. "Why do we need to bring yet another person here who is tied up in Rebecca and Alexander's drama?" I asked.Victor looked at me with a stern look. "Olivia, we need to get to the bottom of this. We cannot make any rash decisions without all the information. Rebecca's family is demanding a fair trial, and we can not give that without putting all the pieces together," he replied.I laughed. “a fair trial. How is she worthy of that after everything she has done?”. I pushed my plate away, leaning back in my chair. Victor sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I understand that all this is bringing up old wounds, and I'm sorry to tell you, but it is going to bring up more," he said softly. "The maid has told people about the things Cassandra did to you, and as you know, Alexander
Guilt ate away at me; I was a horrible husband to Olivia, and I struggled to find a way to make her ever forgive me. I made my way to my room, my skin still tingling from where I had held her. The weight of my actions pressed heavily on my chest, suffocating my every thought. As I walked down the corridor, I heard voices.Allen's voice was unmistakable, a deep rumble that always commanded attention. At first, I thought nothing of it, but then I heard a woman's voice that wasn't Olivia's. Curiosity piqued, and I slowed my pace."I can't wait to be alone with you later," she purred, her voice laced with a mix of excitement and secrecy. I glanced around, ensuring no one would see me, and stealthily made my way to the edge of the wall, peering around the corner.Allen stood close to the woman. Their body language spoke loud, telling the story of what they wanted to be doing to each other."I will see you tonight at six," Allen murmured, his voice low but crystal clear in the silent hallwa
