Olivia's POV “ Damian Klaus...” Sophie said in shock.“ Yeah...” He smiled.“ What exactly are you doing here?? ” Sophie retorted as she raised an eyebrow.“ I heard that the Greyridge are opening a killer bar so I came over to check it out and so far I haven't been disappointed ” he smiled.Shit that's smile!!!!!Hang in there fragile heart of mine!!!“ Huh... I didn't know you were a fan of drinks.” Sophie said with a skeptical look.“ Wanna hold a drinking competition to find out.” He smirked as his eyes had a glint.Sophie moved back in shock as she was also affect by this insane charisma.“ Don't you dare, my heart belongs to Mr Chris.” she rolled her eyes as she marched up to the bar.“ How have you been? ” he asked with a smile as he offered me his arm.Hol'up...Is he talking to me?!?!?Oh God!!!“ I... I'm good, I've been good I guess ” I smiled trying my best not to stutter as I slid my arm into his.“I must say you look stunning tonight ” he added.Ohhhhhhhh gosssssh!!!I
Olivia's POV.It's been over a year since we launched the Grey Ridge bar and so far it hasn't been a disappointment.Every month we were able to draw in more than $15,000 and to an extreme of $150,000 when an Alpha from the west came to town and decided to come spend in our bar.I was able to learn a lot of bartending skills from Louis as I joined him behind the bar while Cole worked morning shifts as she was better at making coffees and lattes. Together, we were the strong pillars that supported the Bar. It wasn't long that we gathered a lot of regulars who would show up every day and night to get a refill.Since the opening night, I barely saw and heard anything from Damien except for the few times I would see him on TV.Apparently, the Ember Den was a large pack with a lot of businesses and he was soon to represent his pack as Alpha.With that every once in a while he would appear on the news making a deal with one or two famous Alphas in the continent.“ Hey Olivia I saw your ma
Olivia's POVIt was a wonderful week which just went by as we generated more cash than the previous weeksI had gotten so good at bartending that Louis would sometimes leave the night shifts to me while he would help out Cole during the day as we noticed that we had more morning regulars than night. Today I was alone at just around 1AM because Louis decided to call it a night. He dropped some necessary instructions as he went off to bed in order to wake up early to help out Cole with the morning shifts.There were just a handful of customers at that time as they say just away from me each engaged in small talks and stroking their glass of drinks as they took gentle sips.Due to how late and rainy it was, these were the all nighters who barely had anything to do than drink through the cold night rather than stay home.“ I'd like another glass of Butterscotch Martini.” someone called out.“ Coming right up ” I replied as I turned and poured a bottle of vodka and butterscotch schnapps
Olivia's POV.I led him back to the bar and noticed that Wallace and his friends had helped me clean up the mess which Damien made. “ Thanks a lot Wallace. I promise the next drink is on the house.” I smiled.“ Anything before you dear ” Wallace smiled as he continued taking little sips of his scotch while talking.“ That was quite generous of you. ” Damien said.“ Yeah well it keeps the customers coming and the money rolling ” I shrugged as I fixed him a mild mix.“ Nothing wild please. ” he begged.“ Don't worry I know. ” I smiled.I immediately prepared a Mimosa for him and slid the glass to him.“ How am I to trust it's not gonna be worse than the first?? ” he asked with a skeptical look on his face as he started at the drink and back at me.“ C'mon the first was your fault I mean you asked for it, this is me being all kind to you ” I rolled my eyes as i laughed.“ Ahannnn so you did plan to kill me at first!! ” he chuckled.“ Not on purpose ”Our little batter went on as he empt
Olivia's POVI woke up late in the morning feeling all happy and giddy.With a slight bounce, I went downstairs to the kitchen to grab a quick bite.Humming to myself, I grab a few eggs and bread and sausages as I begin to couple up a quick breakfast. “ This is a rare sight ”I squealed in fright almost overturning my pan of food.“ What the fuck Dad!!! ” I growled as I tried to catch my breath. “ What the fuck??? ” he repeated confused with a raised brow. “ Are you not supposed to be at work??” I asked as I went back to my breakfast making with my heart still racing.“ I was, till I realized I left my gloves back in my room, so I had to come back, what's with all that happy aura??? ” he asked as walked closer to me peering into my eyes.“ Can't I wake up and be happy??? ” I stuttered.“ Huhh... well if you say so ” he shrugged as he turned and raced upstairs to his room.Arghhh...Five minutes later, he left and I was left with my rushed breakfast.I sat crossed legged in front of
Olivia's POV “ Olivia...!!!Olivia...!! can we talk about this?!? ” Cole stuttered as I marched closer to her with a growl.“ Who the fuck thinks that? ” I growled“ Well...Well...Ahemmm... the atmosphere around was all weird when we walked in then the room smelt weird plus you are all goofy and happy through the morning so I concluded that it was...” she frantically explained.I made a launch towards her when I paused and thought about what she had said Ohh shit...She's kinda right though...Well I guess it wasn't her fault I mean all she said just made sense.“ Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh it was weird because we were engaged in quite a weird staring competition...”I mean it was weird though...Weirdly good hehe...“ ... And it smelt weird because when he walked in, he asked for a Long Island Ice tea and when he took a gulp he puked. I have no reason to explain why I was happy and goody because I'm always like that ” I finished with a bit of heat creeping to my cheeks.“ He ordered a Long Is
Olivia's POV.It took quite a while till my heart could return back to its normal beat per second.Grabbing all I could find on the grocery list, I walked up to the counter and paid before leaving.Fifteen minutes later, I went back to the bar. The crates of drinks which I had ordered arrived just then and Louis walked out to in order to receive them and pack them inside.“ Why are you all red??? ” he asked suspiciously as he stared at me.“ Huh...??? ” I stuttered as I dropped the bags of food and felt my face.“ Yep her face is totally red!! ” Cole yelled as she rushed out.“ What the fuck are you both saying?!?” I fumed.“ You look flushed ” Louis shrugged as he signed off the delivery man.“ Well how I look is none of your business!! Now you pack up the crates and take them to the cellar!!! You get behind that counter and make sales!!! ” I yelled.“ But there are no customers...” Cole began.“ I don't care!!! ” I yelled as I picked up my bags of groceries and stormed off.What the
Olivia's POV It's been six months since we opened the Grey ridge Bar and so far we have not been disappointed as the money we got in return was quite much more than we had bargained for.Just as the bar has a lot of regulars at night, so also was the cafe at morning.Most busy days were our Mondays and the most busy nights were our Fridays.Mastering this days, Damien made sure to avoid the busy days and night and show up at both the bar and the cafe.It got so frequent that Cole labelled us as couples.I tried to clear the air around but she and Louis were hell bent on believing what they choose to believe.“You know I'm tired of y'all ” I yelled.Just like other days, they were making fun of me not doing anything while another reporter flirts with Damien indirectly on screen.“ Why are you all pissed up girl ??” Cole laughed.“ Yeah, you should be channeling that energy towards the reporter who tried to hit on your boo ” Louis shrugged as he took off his apron.He was done for the
FIVE YEARS LATERDamien's POV I blinked slowly as the sun rays escaped through my thick curtains and a few landed on my eyes drawing me from sleep. Fuck.Another long ass morning to attend to.I sighed as I dragged myself off the bed and walked to the bathroom to take a wash.Fifteen minutes later I walked out fresh and minty and I began to dress up and prepare for the day.I was halfway through my tie when Angela walked into the room with a smile on her face.“ Hey baby ” she smiled as she managed to scurry towards me.“ How's my angel doing? ” I held onto her as gently as I could trying to wrap my arms around her.Since we had Aidan, we decided to take a break from having children for almost four years till last year. One night she got all freaky and said she was ready to have a child again and trust me it was quite an eventful night that we had to explain to a crying and scared Aidan, the next day what all the howls were about the previous night.He's quite a weak child though,
Olivia's POV.I stared at Amelia in shock as she somehow discovered I was pregnant.Elders are actually scary especially the females.“ I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I also understand if you won't want to hire a pregnant runaway like me and I won't mind leaving…”“ Goodness gracious what are you saying Olivia. This means good news!!! ” Amelia said with an excited look.Excuse me??“ I get to act like a grandmother for once!! ” Amelia laughed as he eyes went glassy.Is she crying because I'm pregnant?!?“ Sorry sorry, it's just that I've been telling my son to get married so I can have grandkids but he won't listen to me. And now I mean you are pregnant and of course will need help. I don't mind helping out at all ” Amelia whispered as she hugged me slowly.“ S…So you don't mind the fact that I'm pregnant?? ” I stuttered.“ I love it that you are pregnant Olivia. I don't know why and I don't know for what reason but as long as you keep it, I promise to support you in every way possi
Olivia's POV I woke up the next morning, with a bad tummy as I rushed to the restroom.Somehow I managed to sample every single pastry in the shop to satisfy my large hunger, and it's with a bad tummy I came to realize that chocolate and milk don't go too well!!I walked out of the restroom just in time as Amelia walked in looking fresh and well dressed “ Olivia dear?? ” she called out with a smile.“ Hey Amelia ” I groaned as I held my rumbling stomach.“ Oh my God are you alright?? ” she asked with a worried look. “ Seems like I just discovered I'm lactose intolerant last night ” I whispered with a smile.“ Oh my God, did you eat the Croissant?? ” Amelia laughed.“ Yes I ate a couple ” I whispered in guilt knowing that a couple meant five.“ I guess you ate a lot,it happens dear, come outside let me make you a cup of fresh coffee, you'll be fine ” Amelia chuckled. “ I need to freshen up first ”“ I'll be waiting. ”It took me a couple of minutes to wash up in quite the spacious
Olivia's POV.How the fuck am I pregnant?!?!?I stared at the doctor in front of me as he spoke and offered pre-natal care and drugs to me as he went on scrabbling on his file.“ Are you sure I'm pregnant?? ” I whispered one more time to confirm.“ You should have known by now ” he shrugged .“ But I'm…”“ It's not quite rare to see a lot of single mothers. ” he said as he pointed at my ringless hand.Without a word I stood up and walked out of the office, ignoring the yells of the doctor.How did I get pregnant?!??This is not supposed to happen!!Fuck…In disorientation I walked through the street without a certain aim thinking about how, when and how.Did he…??But I passed out?!?!?And we didn't do it apart from then!!What the fuck is going on??I gulped as I walked on ignoring the yells behind me.“ Can you all shut up?! ” I turned and yelled only to realize that I had strolled to the road and a car came screeching towards me.Ahhh…fuck!!!I shut my eyes tight and braced for imp
The journey to the South took a week by train and I was quite unprepared as I was lightly dressed with just a backpack and the cash which I had gotten from the watch I sold. I managed to swipe two watches but I sold one at the pawn shop before leaving the North.I was three days into the journey and realized that half of the money was almost gone on just my feeding alone.Is it just me or am I eating a lot now???Huhh …I guess it's because I'm healing.Every morning when ever I got the chance to wash up, I would notice my stitches and bruises slowing healing but somehow it took forever to me.Huhhhh … when did I get this curvy?!?I paused as I stared at my self in the full length mirror.Wait I'm glossy?!?!Ahhhhhhhhhh, I really don't have time for this.I immediately washed up and walked out of the bathroom back to my seat to order my meal for the day.I had just dismissed the hostess when a man dressed in suit walked up to me and sat just in front of me facing me with a smug sm
Mason's POV As soon as he was down, Damien stood up and spat blood as he stared at me with bloodshot eyes, clenching his fist.Huh… he's tougher than before.I smirked as I croaked my head a bit giving him a cocky look.Damien let out a groan as he bit his bloody lips and began to walk towards me.“ That's enough ” David snapped immediately as he blocked his path.“ But…” he argued as he tried to walk past his Dad.“ Damien, I said that's enough! ” David growled as he held Damien's shoulder.With one final stare, he turned and walked off.“ We will be off now, sorry for the trouble ” David said with a fake smile.Somehow, I did not miss killer glare which he gave Olivia before he turned and walked off behind his son in slower strides.Hmmm, what did she do to make Damien raise his hand on her??I stared at the weakened Olivia in pity and bent to pick her up.“ Damien is that you, are we going home now??? ” she whispered as she grabbed me by the cheeks, giving me a goofy smile.“ Yes
Mason's POV I stood firm as I stared at both men with my heart racing and my blood boiling.“ That's quite the statement Mr Jones ” David laughed as rucked his hands back into his pocket and let out quite an impressive wave of aura as he locks his gaze with me.Quite the aura… much more impressive than his son. He's actually worthy of the title Alpha.I was just about to let out my pent up bloodlust when Carmel immediately stepped in-between us with a smile on her face.“ Okay now boys that's enough, Mason they came here for a goodwill visit so it will do you well to calm the fuck down and greet them as guests. ” she growled.I paused for a second staring at her before I turned back to David and gave him a bright smile.“ Pardon my misbehavior Sir, it's a nasty habit of mine ” I smiled as I stretched out my hand.David stared at me for a second before he chuckled and accepted my hand in a quick handshake before letting go Arghh… a little bit and I would have melted his skin!! He's
Mason's POV. It's been three days since we found Olivia in the snow and so far she has been responding to the treatments, but somehow she was refusing to wake up. The doctor did all her could but then it was left to her to wake up.I stood beside him all throughout the first day that he felt uncomfortable and began to work sloppy. It took a lot of growls from me and pleads from Carmel before he could work normally.From his report, she had a few internal bleeding, open stitches, bruises and cuts. According to him she was physically abused and somehow miraculously survived the chilly night. “ This is something I've never seen before, she was literally half frozen but it seemed as though her body was placed in its natural habitat because her heart slowed down to keep her alive…”I lost track of what he said as I turned and stared at her.Now I have a lot of questions …Is she like me??Two days came and went quickly with me beside her throughout. I was either with a book or working
Olivia's POV The pains felt intense as the guard who escorted me out didn't make it easier, rather they roughed me quite a bit and dumped me just by the fence before turning back and slamming the giant gates behind me.I stood by the gate clueless and confused for a bit as I stared at the gate.They just threw me out???So quick???I considered hanging around and knocking for a while but then I remembered it was pointless because the drive to the mansion from the gate was almost 20 minutes and it was a fully automated gate so there was probably not a single soul for about half a mile.They didn't even bother to throw out my clothes too!!!Fuck it's chilly.I immediately began to walk aimlessly as I tried to figure out the path which led to the road.I'll probably get a ride back to the Greyridge cafe.The air felt super chilly and it began to snow so hard that the snow depth was way past my ankles.I barely had any footwear on, and my nighties barely covered me up , it felt so
