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
Olivia's POV I shivered a bit as I felt the blood lust in the air and Dad had on a scary look as he stared at Damien and I interlocked.“ What the fuck is going on here Olivia?? ” He whispered “ No..Nothing Dad... ” I said nervously.“ Oh really, then what's this I hear about you getting married and me not getting informed??” he growled Arghhhhhhhhhhhh Cole!!!“ Its.. ” I began.“ Good day Mr Chris ” Damien stepped up as he immediately stood in front of me as if protecting me from a disaster.Oh shit Damien you shouldn't!!I noticed the furrow form on Dad's eyebrow as he noticed the simple action which Damien did.“ I'm Damien Kla...”Damien was barely done when a gush of cold air flashed past me and he was no longer in front of me.“ Dad!!!” I yelled.I turned and saw both of them or rather, Dad holding Damien by the neck one armed with Damien a few inches away from the ground.What the fuck?!?“ Quite the stunt you've pulled there boy, guarding my own daughter from me, what do yo
Olivia's POV It's been two weeks since Dad had left and somehow I had managed to survive without getting bored or missing him.Somehow Damien was closer to me that he would come over to the house and pick me up whenever we had a date.We would go on dates almost anytime he was free and somehow it felt refreshing to me when he called and asked if I was free for a date.Louis managed the bar at night alone most times while Cole was in charge of the cafe in the mornings and afternoons.“ Please don't tell me you have a date today?? ” Cole whined.“ Probably ” I said with a smile.“ You seem to be loving this ” Louis said with a low voice.“ Loving what?? ”“The fact that he always calls you to go on a date especially at random moments ”“ Well I guess soo...hehe ” I snickered.“ Don't you think it's getting too much, I mean you are barely focused on the business again ” Louis said as he turned to me with a bored look.“ Oh c'mon that's why I've got you two ” I giggled.“And what if I sa
Olivia's POV I stared at the card and back at Damien in shock as I didn't know what to say.What the fuck is going on right now?!“ Olivia are you alright?? ”I snapped back to life as I turned and stared at him giving a soft smile.“ I guess these flowers are not mine, sorry for prying ” I laughed nervously as I returned back the flowers and everything yo the backseat immediately.“It's clearly yours Olivia ” Damien chuckled.“ Stop it, are we there yet?? ” I laughed.God this can't be happening!!I felt my heart race as I could barely see clearly.Calm down Olivia it's clearly a mistake.Somehow, Dad's words from two weeks ago came ringing in my ears.Shit!!!“ We are here ” I turned around to see that he had brought me to a pond which was quite a famous spot at night for couples,bikes and the others. “ Okay this is quite a weird location to tell me something important ” I chuckled.“ I needed somewhere romantic I guess ” he shrugged.“ Romantic for what exactly?? ” I asked as I
Olivia's POV.“ What do you mean he said you should get married?!?! ”Cole yelled“ You heard me right ” I sighed as I rolled the bottle of water across my forehead.Arghhhhhhhhhhhh that's it...“ What was your reply?!? ” She stuttered.“ I told him I wanna think about it ” I shrugged.“ That was wise of you ”“ Why?? ” I paused as I turned to her.“Well I did tell you I don't agree with his vibe. It's quite shocking to think he would propose to you I mean who does that?? ”“ Well I'm thinking about an answer to give him but then I'm conflicted ” I sighed.“ Wait hold on, you hungry?? ” Cole smiled.“ Yesss, yes I am ” I smiled back at her.That's how useful Cole was to me.She was someone who knew how to read me so well especially when it comes to my hunger status. “ I'll prepare something quick for you ” she said as she raised the fridge and began to select a few things.“ Why exactly were you conflicted?? ” she asked as she turned on the gas.“ Well it's something Dad said that kin
Olivia's POV A week before the wedding, Sophie returned back from college and came to the bar while I worked.“ Good evening ma'am, what would you like for the night ?? ” I said as I went back to work.“ Anything mild please ” she replied.Fixing her a quick martini I went back to wiping the top counter.“ How long are you gonna wipe the counter?? ” She asked after five minutes.“ Till it reflects my happiness ” I snapped back.“ Are you still mad at me? ” Sophie asked.“ What if I am?? ” I replied “ Well I came to apologize ” She smiled softly.Huh..??I thought she was gonna laugh and piss me off more??“ Apologize??? ”“Yeah, I mean I guess I didn't take you for being you. I was thinking based on my opinion I didn't really try to think about how you felt about all this. I'm sorry ” she said with a mild smile.I stared at her for a couple of seconds pondering what went wrong.“ Sophie are you drunk?!? ” I whispered.“ Huh...??? ” she paused in confusion.“ I mean did you hit your
Olivia's POV Dinner at the Klaus house was quite awkward. The large dining room looked well spent on and everything gave off an expensive taste.The dining room contained the whole Klaus family and I. It was David Klaus, the head of the Family and the current Alpha of the Ember Pack. He looked like the older version of Damien and it was obvious that he was a lady killer back when he still had his youth. He had on a frown as he chewed slowly while staring into space.I guess he does have a lot on his mind.Just beside him was his wife and the Luna of the Ember Pack, Lily Klaus. She was quite a beautiful woman whose body screamed fashion and money. Even though it was dinner she didn't miss the chance to wear quite an expensive dress and jewelry.Opposite her was quite an old woman who Damien had introduced as his grandmother.She was famously known as Grandma Beth in the pack and for an eighty year old woman I must say she's quite bold with the cigarettes.Just through our first course
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
Olivia's POV My heart raced as Damien pulled me by the hair roughly out of the room.“ Please let me go Damien. ” I sniffed as I clawed at his hand which held my hair so hard with a vice grip, that I felt a couple roots get pulled out.Fuck it hurts bad!!!“ I warned you Olivia, you made me resort to this ” he growled as he dragged me down the corridor.Who is this???“ This is not the Damien I know ” I choked as I tried to struggle with him but immediately regrets it as more hair came off“ You never knew me bitch ” he spat.Bitch?!?!What???As though he noticed his vulgar words he paused and gave me a glare before moving on and dragging me along.I'm not safe with him!!!His eyes… those eyes hold no emotions towards me again!!What happened to us Damien?!??I need to get away from himI immediately began to shout for help as he pulled me out of the mansion and dragged me down the stairs.The bumpy ride down the stairs gathered enough bruises and somehow I felt my stitches hur
Olivia's POV I found myself stirring back to life after passing out. It felt like a peaceful and nice moment as it was like waking up from a nice sleep, till I remembered the situation which led to it.I turned swiftly and noticed Damien sat on a couch flipping through a random book and he waited for me.At least he was humane enough to bring me to the couch.“ Oh it seems you are back. ” he said with grunt as he discarded the book immediately.“ Yes, and please tell me I had a bad dream ” I whispered.“ Unfortunately it was not. Well with that said and done, the pack thinks your stay here is long overdue therefore with the power granted to me as the next Alpha of the Ember Pack, I grant you the grace of noon. ” Damien said in a deep rumbling voice.Till noon?!?“ What exactly is happening at noon?? ” I whispered as I stared at him cluelessly.“ You are to vacate the premises by noon or else extreme measures will be taken ” He said as he stared at me.“ What the fuck are you saying?
Olivia's POV The drive back home was quite long and silent. I kept to myself as the big guy also kept to himself.I wonder if they would be happy to see me.I'm sure they will be as excited as I am!!I found my self almost dozing off as we drove back to the North.It felt like a two minute sleep till the big guy finally spoke, waking me up“ We are here ma'am ”I slowly blinked my eyes open and noticed we were in front of the Main pack house and not at the house which Damien and had stayed.“ It seems you've brought me to the wrong house ” I whispered “ Your presence is needed at the pack house first. ” The big guy said with a grunt before moving in with my things.In silence I walked behind him as he lead me into the mansion. We walked for a minute around the large house till we got to a room at the left wing of the mansion “ Are we not a bit far from the main rooms??” I whispered.“ Mr Klaus ensured that this room was prepared to your taste for your stay in the Pack house ”“ I g
Olivia's POV It's been over a week since the surgery and from the news I managed to gather from the nurses taking care of me, it was quite a successful transplant and both patients were recovering quite well.The only problem which bugged me was the fact that no one had come to see me since I came out of the theater.I figured that it would be all better since I had done what they wanted of me but it seems they were just too busy or happy to remember about me.Well I'll soon be out of here. I can't wait for a peaceful life.The pain I went through for the first few days was something I don't think I wanna experience again.“ I hope it does not affect my appearance ” I whispered to myself in quite a hoarse voice as I rubbed my belly gently though it managed to sting every slight touch.The next day was the same process where I would wake up in pain, fed and bathed by a nurse and then lay in bed hoping for someone to come see me.“ I guess today is the same as the previous days.”“
Olivia's POV All throughout the day I just could not get my mind off the red orbs who I managed to bump into.I guess it's actually a big world…I mean it's been ages since I've seen Mason and he's definitely not built that way.Remembering the lean and slim built pale skinned red eyed I knew, I couldn't help but chuckle.I have to accept that he really left without a word.Walking back to the building after my day's appointment, I couldn't help but wish I would bump into the stranger to confirm his identity.But as luck would have it, I was all alone throughout the elevator ride.I probably should take another ride down and come up again, maybe I might bump into him.With that in mind, I moved to push the button when Damien walked in casually.“ Oh……” I stuttered as my finger hovered over the ground floor.“ Are you going down or up?? ” Damien asked as he stared at my hand.“ I…I'm done for the day, super tired too ” I smiled and walked out of the elevator.“ I'll be back ” he said
Olivia's POV It's been over two weeks since I began my daily consultation which was held every single day till it was time for the surgery and honestly, it was the most boring and stressful two weeks of my life.I saw more of Dr Angela and somehow we became friends or something close to friends I guess.She was with me during my test and check ups almost every single day except for when she was busy.Damien barely had time for me for the past two weeks and he was also barely at home. Whenever I saw him, he either had on a scrawl or was in a bad mood.And trust me I know when to steer clear from his path.It was just me and my daily checkups which became a routine everyday for the past month till the scheduled date came drawing near.Somehow I got nervous and began to doubt myself but then when I remembered it was all for the family I smiled.Hopefully after all this I'll get to bond more with them.Who knows they might like me.Today was no different as I walked out of the shower and
Damien's POV I stood in shock as I stared at a face which I had barely seen for over two years.He still had on his smug smirk and red eyes but looked less pale and goth as he seemed to pack up some muscle and grit.“ If it isn't Damien Klaus, an old friend…” he began as he walked up to me.One thing I didn't fail to notice was how every step he took, the air seemed to get warmer around me.It's as if he was a nuclear plant radiating heat.“ I was never your friend ” I snapped as I involuntarily took a step back and immediately regretted it as he noticed and smirked.“ Ohh I must have mixed it up ” he growled and chuckled so deeply I felt my soul shutter.Damn that was deep!!!“ What are you doing here?? ” I asked immediately.I mean c'mon last I saw him was after the fight, he vanished before I could pay him back for the embarrassment.“ Oh I've been around ” he shrugged as he placed his hands on the pockets of what was left of his jeans as it was ripped beyond recognition.“ Mind t
