Olivia POV
When we heard the growl, Damon and I turned towards it. We saw Marcus stand up abruptly, his entire frame shaking with rage and his eyes focusing on the arms wrapped around my waist.
Oh shit…
He stormed towards us and all I could do was watch in fear and confusion.
Even my brother was surprised as he looked over at Marcus, then back at Damon.
“Well, well, well… this is interesting,” I heard Damon say with his gaze set on Marcus.
He pulled me up and slowly pushed me behind his tall, bulky frame, which elicited another growl from Marcus. Damon was seemingly not affected by Marcus’s warnings as he stood there casually with a smirk plastered on his face.
As Marcus walked towards us, his two friends flanked his sides while two tall guys slowly approached Damon and stood casually behind him. Ev
Olivia POV “No.” As I sat there in Mr. Green’s office, I knew he was talking but I couldn’t hear a single word he said. I was feeling numb, to say the least. Tears wanted to fall from my eyes but I was holding my breath, trying hard not to shed any. A simple word that cut like a knife. The moment he said it, I felt as though my heart was ripped out of my chest and torn into a million tiny pieces. It knocked all the air from my lungs, and I tried so hard not to show how affected I was by it. Damon snorted, and when he looked at me, I could see confusion and what seemed to be sympathy. I didn’t want that; I didn’t want any of this. From that simple but deadly No, I wanted to run away and not look back. I didn’t know what I expected, but I knew I would not
Olivia POV As we got closer to the Alpha training area, my group and I slowed a little down and watched the scene that was unfolding in front of us. Marcus stood tall as he faced Tyson. He looked intimidating as his focus was purely on Tyson. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him as I took him fully in. His stance was wide and his drenched shirt clung tightly to every curve of his muscles. His arms were casually hanging on his sides as he kept his fists closed. The black shorts he was wearing fit him perfectly and showed off his strong, muscular legs. My mouth was watering as I watched him, but what happened next was what made my breath hitch in my throat. As their trainer came and said to get ready to start, Marcus and Tyson peeled off their shirts, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the slow movement of Marcus flexi
Olivia POV It’s been a few days since we came to the camp and that training when Marcus and Tyson fought each other. Thanks to our shifter genes, Tyson healed pretty quickly from his broken nose. One of his ribs was also broken and he had a few small bruises here and there. He wasn’t hurt too badly. Marcus had mostly bruises, but nothing was damaged. To add to my wonderful messed up story, Damon didn’t leave me alone either. Not only had I been bumping into him constantly, but he was also openly flirty with me, especially near Marcus, which would lead to two of his friends pulling him away or Samantha taking the opportunity to get her claws into him and leading him somewhere away from us. That only fueled Damon’s desire to pick on Marcus, and I wished I could just smack him on the head for playing with fire… yes, he is a dragon… ironic
Olivia POV The night was a little chilly and breezy as the sky was clear with sparkling stars that shine above our heads. I couldn’t believe I was here now, walking alongside none other but Damon towards the bonfire. I was surprised, to say the least when he came to my door and as he said to pick me up. We joked and laughed as we walked, and I was surprised as to how easy it actually was to talk with him. When he wanted, he could be a fun guy and a gentleman, and I liked that side of him, easy-going and relaxed, not the guy who was flirty and trying to rile Marcus up by provoking him with any gesture that popped on his head.
Olivia POV My eyes were wide as I sat there frozen in place. No… This can’t be… Why of all the people it had to be her? I inspected her closely as my eyes moved over her slowly. She was wearing tight black jeans and a loose shirt. Her hands caught my attention as I saw her buckle up her jeans. What?! She moved closer to Marcus as her arms wrapped around his neck, racking her fingers into his hair in an attempt to pull him down, closer to her while she stood on her tiptoes. My blood was boiling as my body started to shake in rage.
Olivia POV Damon held my hand as he led me through the forest, refusing to let me know where exactly we were going. He laughed every time I would ask him where he was taking me, and I couldn’t deny that his cheerful attitude and laughter was contagious. It was fun acting like two little kids who were hiding a secret and about to do something they weren’t supposed to. When we finally came to a stop, I saw a meadow covered with tall grass swaying in the gentle breeze. I couldn’t see clearly since it was dark, but I could just imagine how it looked during the day, covered in wildflowers and butterflies. I heard a noise from a little ways away, and I saw two wild rabbits playing in the grass. At the other end of the meadow, where the forest started, a little family of deer came to feast on wh
Marcus POV I stood frozen in place as I watched her eyes grow sad the moment she saw Samantha step out from the forest. At first, I was confused as to why she seemed so sad, but then it clicked—she thought something happened between Samantha and I since we both were coming out of the forest, me half naked and Samantha finishing getting dressed. Before I had any chance to explain, Olivia ran away. Shit… I reacted on instinct and started to run after her, but just before I reached her, I was stopped by a heavy body knocking me to the ground. Damon. I looked over at Olivia just as she entered the woods and disappear
Olivia POV As the weeks after the bonfire passed, our training and education increased. I barely saw James at all since he was working and training all the time with the rest of the future Alphas. Every time we ran laps around the field, I found myself slowing down so I could look towards the Alpha training site. Damon would always look up and smile and wave at us, making some girls in my group go all giddy and fan themselves. It was hilarious to watch. The funniest time was when he was in the middle of sparing with his partner and he waved at us while he held the guy with his other hand wrapped around his neck while the guy was trying to free himself. After that night ride a few weeks ago, Damon and I spent time together and grew closer. If Marcus even came near me, Damon would put himself in between us an
It has passed a month already from the last surprise meeting that we had from all the pack’s Alphas and Elders that came to Blue Moon’s pack, to speak with Marcus voicing out what they wished.***Flashback“We want you to be our Alpha King, a ruler of all shifter communities at once.”There was silence as everyone was silently looking at Marcus and his reaction.He stood there silently, looking at the Elder, feeling surprised by his words. His eyes roamed around the hall as he was observing everyone’s faces.As soon as his eyes met mine, I decided to use our mind link and call his
A few days have passed by since the battle between us and the darkness.We have lost so much but at the same time; the battle brought us all in some way, closer together.Finally, I was home, together with my family and my friends once again.Marcus hasn’t left my side, not for once since we got back together, and I wasn’t complaining as I missed him for far too long during the time that we have been apart.In these 5 years that I have been away from Marcus when I was brought to the dark lands, a man that waited for Tyson and me, outside the Elders castle, performed some magic ritual that made my necklace to shine and in an instant, I felt as my bond with Marcus has dimmed down, I couldn’t connect with him in any way anymore nor could I use a mind link,
Marcus POV My heart raced faster when I saw the wide, enormous gap showing up inside the barrier. Finally, I let my lungs to breathe as Damon and Azrael followed me as I rushed towards Talia. Reaching Talia took me only a second as she looked closely into the darkness. Without looking at me, she said, “We have to be careful when we pass this barrier. I can feel the darkness’ strength as it is lurking from inside.” I turned towards Azrael and Damon, “No time is to be wasted, we have to move and find Olivia. Warn the warriors and be careful as we do not know what we might deal against when we pass into
Marcus POV Watching at the little cottage that was in front of us, Azrael said, “Well, here we are. Ready?” he asked, looking over at Damon and me. I nodded my head while Damon said, “Let’s go.” We walked towards the cottage, reaching the front door as Azrael extended his hand and knocked on the door. There was silence as no sound from the inside the cottage came, making me feel restless as my mind started to wonder if maybe Talia was not home. Damon, Azrael and I, looked over at each other, each one of us wondering the same thing, hoping we were wrong. “What if she is not here?” Damon said out loud what we all were thinking, looking towards t
Marcus POVReaching the faraway lands of the forgotten, or as some call them the Dark lands, I could see many warriors patiently waiting for our arrival.I was impatient as finally I was a mere step away to finally reunite with my beloved Olivia.Soon as Damon had landed onto the land that was on the border of the Dark lands, I jumped off of his dragon’s back and went straight forward meeting the warriors.Zen and Wyatt appeared as Azrael and Damon followed behind me. Dragon shifters were all back into their human forms, making it easier for all to communicate among themselves.“There seems to be some kind of invisible barrier that is preventing us from crossing over.” Wyatt said to us all, making m
Marcus POV The time passed and before I knew it; it was already 5 years gone. My search after her never has downed down as I restlessly looked everywhere, in every place, sending search parties to follow leads that were heard only to be fooled away, but I never gave up. There wasn’t a day I stopped my search for even to get some rest, nor I cared for myself as all I wanted was to find her and bring her where she belongs, by my side. Damon and Azrael followed me everywhere, and I was grateful to them both for all their help. The Elders’ court was dismissed as the ones that the day Olivia vanished into the thin air, they fought against us, wanting to keep the Law alive. We decided to grant t
The moment Tyson said those words out loud, there was a silence for a few minutes making Elders think about his request. One of the Elders stood up from his seat as he said, “Tyson is right! It is better to prevent the disaster if we deal with the matter right here and now. The Law should stay.” A few members followed him as they cheered approving the Elder's words, while others looked over at them and Tyson, finally having their eyes set down on us. One of those members stood up and looked over at the members who were more than ready to fight with us now, and said, "We messed with something that we shouldn't have. None of us is a God nor a Goddess to have the right to mess with higher things that as Olivia said we are gifted with. You all saw and heard the words of our Moon Goddess and it shocks me to see that e
It was already early morning when we left Damon’s pack together with all the White Moon’s warriors, Damon, Logan, Tanner, Trent, and Zen, leaving in The Opal pack James and Wyatt as well as Mandy, Annie, and Lizzy, who I must say protested a lot.I was currently riding on my mates wolf, followed closely by Azrael and the warriors as well as our friends.Damon chose to go in his dragon form together with Zen, to keep an eye out from above the sky.I would have felt cold if it wasn't for the warmth that was engulfing me, coming from Marcus. His soft, dark fur was like a cloud, inviting me to snuggle closer, making my arms stretch as far as it was possible, wrapping around his strong neck.Holding tight as we were rushing fast through the forest. I could barely
Standing there, watching Marcus after the challenge had finished, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him as he stood there tall and proud, surrounded by the White Moon’s warriors. His eyes drifted towards mine, making my heart flutter as all I could feel was the love I have for my mate. A smile crept on my lips, as slowly he approached towards me, wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me closer into his warm, firm body as his lips pressed down on my own. The jolt of power passed through me the moment he kissed me, making my breath hitch from the intensity of the feeling, the feeling of complete and utter love. We made some space in between us, as Marcus turned and surveyed every and each warrior that was waiting for him to speak.
