Alexander’s POVThe chill in the night air was a stark contrast to the warmth of the emotions swirling inside me. Olivia had sent for Allen and the twins to come into the room. My heart pounded in my chest as I waited for them to get here. This was the moment I became a father. It wasn't how I dreamed of it being, but my heart still leapt with fear and excitement. The door creaked open, and Allen stepped into the room, followed closely by the twins. I looked between them and Olivia, her eyes filled with a mixture of apprehension and determination. She glanced at Allen appreciatively, knowing the twins would feel more secure with him here. The twins climbed up onto Olivia's bed, wrapping their arms around her.Olivia took a deep breath. “There’s something very important we need to tell you. I should have told you sooner, but... it was complicated.” Allen stood quietly by the doorway. As I looked over at him, my heart ached for him. He had been there for the twins their whole life, st
Olivia’s POVThe night was quiet, save for the occasional rustle of leaves outside the window. Alexander was back in the room like always; he hadn't left my side, taking care of everything I needed. The twins were here with him, playing a game on the floor. A smile played on my lips as I watched them. Moments like these felt almost surreal, like waking up from a hauntingly beautiful dream. My eyes lingered on the tender scene.“Can we talk?” I asked Alexander, breaking the silence. His gaze met mine, and I could see a mix of concern and curiosity. He nodded, gently disentangling himself from the twins.“Kids, why don’t you play in the other room for a bit?” I suggested with a soft smile. They looked hesitant but eventually scampered off after a quick hug from Alexander.As soon as they were gone, I turned to him, my heart racing with a mixture of fear and something else I could not quite work out. “Alexander, we need to have an honest conversation,” I began, folding my arms as if to sh
Olivia’s POVMy mind still replayed the conversation i had with Alexander only a few days ago. I hadn’t let my guard down completely with him but it was hard not to open up my heart every time i saw him with the twins. As the days passed the twins became more welcoming with Alexander and it was clear that they wanted him around.I hadn’t realised that my heart had craved this so much until seeing it with my own eyes. Alexander was in the other room putting the twins to bed just like he had been doing for the past few nights. It was my first night out of hospital and although i was still tired i felt much better.Sitting by my window i heard a soft knock on the door and Aurora swirled inside of me telling me that it was Alexander. “Come in” i called to him keeping my eyes on the window.Alexander stepped inside and his intoxicating scent filled the room. “How are you feeling?” he asked making me turn to looked at him.“Much better but tired.” something out of the corner of my eye turned
Olivia's POVBlood moons and my kiss with Alexander last night still swirled in my mind as I made my way to the victors' office. I wanted to meet my brother and...Allen.I reached Victor’s office and knocked softly before pushing the heavy door open. I looked around the study, but didn't see Allen.Victor stood behind his desk, papers scattered over its surface, his eyes scanning each page furiously. He looked up, his usually rugged face wearied, the weight of unspoken burdens etched into the lines on his forehead.“Victor?” I called tentatively, stepping closer. Victor looked older than he had before the stress of everything that had been going on hadn't been kind to him.“Olivia.” His voice was clipped, his gaze meeting mine briefly before returning to the documents sprawled out before him. “What brings you here?”“I was worried about you,” I replied, closing the door softly behind me. “You seemed...distracted lately. Are you alright?”Victor let out a hard sigh, a quick flash of raw
Olivia's POVWalking briskly down the palace corridors, I barely registered the opulence of my surroundings. My mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the blood moons and their ominous message. My heart pounded with urgency, knowing that I needed to speak with Alexander and confirm my decision to go to Werewolf Central City. I rounded a corner sharply and collided with a solid body.“Oh, I’m so—” I started to apologise before recognising who I had bumped into.Allan. His eyes met mine, and a spark of something unspoken passed between us. It was the first time I’d seen him up close since he had brought the twins in to see me so they could meet Alexander.“Olivia,” he said softly, a note of hesitation in his voice.“I’m sorry, Allan. I didn’t see you,” I said, avoiding his gaze and making to move past him.“Wait.” His hand closed around my arm, halting my advance. “I have something for you.”I turned to face him, my curiosity mixed with a sense of dread. He extended a set of papers toward
Olivia's POVThe door creaked as I pushed it open, revealing Alexander seated on the floor with our children. Joy filled the room, a stark contrast to the worry inside me. His eyes flickered to mine, and I could see the weight of the message from the Elders already haunting him."Olivia," he articulated my name like an unspoken plea, and for a moment, everything else melted away.I forced a smile for the twins before turning my attention to Alexander. “Can we talk?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Alexander nodded, rising to his feet and gesturing for me to follow him out of the room. We walked in silence until we reached an empty corridor.“I'm coming with you and Victor to the city,” I blurted out.Alexander’s eyes widened in shock. “Olivia, you can’t. It’s too dangerous.”I shook my head, determination set in my gaze. “I can’t stay locked in this palace forever, Alexander. I need to be out there with you, with Victor. We face this together.”Just then, Victor rounded the co
Alexander's POVThe moment Olivia's feet touched the cobblestone streets of Werewolf Central City, I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. The City's energy seemed to pulse around us, its towering buildings and flickering lights a stark contrast to the quiet life she knew. Her eyes widened, taking in the grandeur and the teeming life of the place, and despite the tension gnawing at my heart, I couldn't help but admire her resilience."Welcome to Werewolf Central City," I said quietly, trying to mask my overwhelming concern beneath a thin veil of calm. "It's... overwhelming, isn't it?"Olivia nodded her expression a mixture of awe and fear. "It's unlike anything I could have imagined."Her voice was soft, but I could hear the tremor in it. I wanted to wrap my arms around her, to shield her from everything this city represented. But I knew that wasn't possible. She was here now, and I had to accept the risks."Listen, Olivia," I began, my tone more serious. "Victor and I need to meet with
Alexander's POVThe meeting crawled to an end, the Elders' words echoing in the vast hall long after they'd been spoken. I shook hands with Elder Cornelius, his grip firm yet weathered, and nodded to Elder David, who still wore a sceptical frown. The other Alphas filed out, their faces etched with a mix of determination and unease.Victor clapped me on the back, breaking my reverie. "Let's get this over with," he murmured, steering us towards the exit where the other Alphas were mingling.The hallway outside the meeting room was a blend of tradition and power, with tapestries that told the stories of our ancestors and their battles. The other Alphas—some familiar, others strangers—started to gather, and I could feel the tension coiling through the room like a living thing.Alpha Derek, always the first to make an impression, strolled over, his eyes gleaming with a hunger I knew all too well. "Alexander, Victor," he greeted us with a tight smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Quite the su
