CHAPTER FIVE

Lucas entered his room quietly not wanting to wake Olivia, but he was startled when he turned around to find her staring at him, her eyes, nose and cheeks were red and puffy, he felt guilty knowing he was the reason for her current state.

"Where were you" she says her voice hoarse due to crying for hours.

"I'm sorry, I just needed time to clear my head" I say truthfully as I go and hug her, she releases a shaky breath and she clings unto me.

"Are you going to choose your mate now and leave me" she says and she starts to shed tears again.

"Honestly, I don't know" I reply with a sigh she releases me instantly like my hold on her burnt her.

"What did you mean you don't know, are really going to choose a stranger over me, your wife" she said, her voice full of anger.

"Olivia, I'm a lycan I feel the mate pull a thousand times more than a normal werewolf, and I'm trying so hard to control myself so you don't get hurt by my actions but I can't control the Goddess's wishes, there's a reason why mom found her so easily"

"Oh I see, you miss your mom so much you're willing to let go of me, now that she's back"

"This has nothing to do with my mother and this will be the last time, you bring her into this Olivia and I mean it". He says through gritted teeth.

"You don't love me anymore, do you".

"Olivia I just found out last night, cut me some slack will you" he says getting up before she could continue this argument and went to shower.

Lucas got dressed in the closet and when he came out, Olivia wasn't in the room which he thanked the Goddess for, he guessed he already missed breakfast considering the time and he didn't he have an appetite either way so he went to the training field where his two beta's had already started training with the new recruits.

"Morning Alpha" everyone bowed as he entered, he nodded and went to meet his beta's.

"Long night yesterday huh" Nathan said with a laugh slapping him in the shoulder.

"You have no idea" he replied scowling at Nathan as he massaged his shoulder.

"Well at least you only have one woman to protect" Raphael said with a mischievous glint in his tone.

"What's that supposed to mean" he asked confused.

Raphael tilted his head towards a particular direction and what he saw shocked him, Arabelle and one of his fiercest warriors were fighting but that wasn't what shocked him, what shocked him was that Arabelle was winning and so effortlessly if he might add, it was like a child's play to her.

"That is one fierce mate" Nathan says as Raphael bursts into laughter.

Lucas finally got out of his daze but it was too late considering be had already walked towards Arabelle, "shit" he thought.

"Alpha" the warrior said as he bowed and left.

Arabelle let out a long deep breath before turning around to face him.

"Morning, Lucas"

"Morning" he said still in a slight daze

"What are you doing here, Lucas, I thought we both agreed on staying away from each other".

"Actually, you did say that Arabelle but that doesn't mean I agree to it" he says with a small smirk on his face

Arabelle looked at him clearly annoyed before sighing and started to leave but he caught her arm before she could.

"Lucas, let me go" she says in a low annoyed voice.

"I'm sorry, he says snapping out of it"

"What do you want".

"Maybe train together, you seem good".

"Well I did have to survive, wasn't born with a silver spoon like some" she said as she got ready.

"Right" he says with a sigh as he also got ready.

Lucas and Arabelle, started training at first he wanted to go easy on her but he soon realized that was a bad idea because this is second time she was pinning him down with a victorious smile on her lips.

"Don't go easy on me alpha" she said getting up.

"Okay" I said and before she could make her first move, she was already on the floor, she tried pushing me off but she couldn't after a few tries she just gave up and laid down. I got off her with a small smile.

"That's the difference between a wolf and a lycan Arabelle" I said still smiling.

Olivia was seeing this interaction for quite sometime now, her eyes were red showing the presence of her wolf, she felt hurt and betrayed that Lucas could simply choose Arabelle over her, mate or no mate she was his wife. After having enough she stood up and left.

Lucas noticed Olivia in the corner of his eyes and he knew she was going to cause issues if he didn't calm her down so he immediately went after her.

"Olivia, Olivia" he said as he ran to catch up with her "hey" he said grabbing her hand and stopping her.

"What do you Lucas" she said harshly snatching her hand back.

"Hey, please can we just talk" he said softly

"Actually, there's nothing left to talk about, you made yourself quite clear in the bedroom, you no longer want anything to do with me right" she said angrily.

"Olivia, I never said that okay, can you please just calm down, so we can discuss this".

"Whether I am calm or not I will always have thesame answer, I'm not asking you to reject your mate Lucas, but to stay away from her" .

"But I can't, why won't you understand, I explained it to you Olivia".

"Okay, then I guess we're done here".

"Olivia, come on, please"

"NO, you tell me Lucas, what the hell do you want from me, is breaking my heart not already enough for you".

"Olivia, I know your hurt and I'm sorry for causing it, I mean it, okay how about this I'll stay away from Arabelle, if you do too".

"Why should I when she's nothing more than a homewrecker" .

"She, she is not a homewrecker okay, it's not her fault that her mate got married to someone else before they met". He said angrily.

"Someone else, oh is that what I am now".

"Oliv....

"Don't call my name and tell your mate to the hell away from me or she'll hate me" she said interrupting him and leaving.

"Shit, shit, shit" he thought as he paced around until Nathan and Raphael came and stood beside him.

"Trouble in paradise huh" Raphael said with a tiny if a smile on his face.

Lucas growled at him and left thinking about how things got so messed up.
