Chapter 21: Unspoken Hunger

Olivia’s POVThe sound of my heels against the hardwood floors echoed faintly as I ascended the stairs, my mind still spinning from the morning’s preparations. Breakfast was set, every detail in place, and now I had just enough time to prepare myself. I had a feeling that breakfast would be as chaotic as breakfast back at home, a breakfast of hostility and domineering presence.The moment I stepped into my room, I exhaled a deep breath, shutting the door behind me. Leaning against it for a moment, I let the quiet wash over me. My muscles ached faintly from rushing around the kitchen, and the heat simmering beneath my skin only added to my discomfort.The heat.I pressed a hand to my forehead, shaking my head with a rueful smile. “Get it together, Olivia,” I muttered under my breath.Heading to the bathroom, I turned on the shower, letting the room fill with the warm, musty promise of release. As I stepped under the spray, the water cascaded down my skin in soothing rivulets, each drop

Chapter 22: Breakfast With the Beasts

Olivia’s POVI couldn’t shake the unease as I sat at the long dining table, my eyes flicking over the plates and cutlery I had spent the morning arranging. The table was fit for royalty, adorned with polished silverware and a centerpiece of fresh flowers. Everything looked perfect, yet there was a tension in the air that made my wolf stir uncomfortably.Lucien sat at the head of the table, his face unusually pale. He hadn’t said much since Nana bustled in to tell him his family was on the way. Now, his jaw was clenched, his fingers tapping an erratic rhythm against his thigh.He was nervous.It didn’t take long for me to figure out why. The moment the door opened, the weight in the air doubled.Archimedes.Lucien’s father swept into the room like he owned not just the house but the very ground we stood on. Tall, broad-shouldered, and radiating authority, he commanded attention without uttering a word. His salt-and-pepper hair was slicked back, and his piercing gray eyes scanned the ro

Chapter 23 : The Trip to the Mall

Lucien’s POVAs we bolted out the front door, leaving the shenanigans of my family behind, I couldn’t stop replaying the scene from breakfast in my head. Olivia’s words, her boldness, the way she stared my father down as if he were a mere pup—it was like a slap to everything Archimedes represented. And she had done it for me. Me. I wanted to thank her earlier, but the storm of emotions left me tongue-tied. Now, as she walked ahead of me, her heels clicking against the stone steps, I resolved to find the right moment. She stopped by the car and turned to me with an arched brow, the corners of her lips tugging upward. “Well? Who’s driving?”I leaned against the car, crossing my arms. “I am, of course. You drive like a maniac, Olivia.”Her laugh was bright and airy, an antidote to the heaviness that lingered from breakfast. “Oh, please. The last time I drove you anywhere, you clutched the door handle like your life depended on it.”“It did,” I said, deadpan. “I’m still recovering from t

Chapter 24: The Bond That Ties Us

Olivia’s POVThe drive continued in silence. Lucien was unusually quiet, his gaze distant as he stared out the window. It wasn’t like him to retreat into himself, and it left me restless. The hormones coursing through me certainly weren’t helping. My wolf was practically snarling for attention, pushing me to focus on him in ways I didn’t have the capacity to handle right now. I couldn’t stop the glances I stole in his direction. The broad set in his shoulders, the sharp jawline that twitched occasionally, as though he was grinding his teeth. Everything about him screamed tension. And I felt it, deep in the pit of my stomach. That hot, searing warmth that spiraled downward and settled inconveniently in places I had no business thinking about. My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I tried to shake the feeling. But it only grew worse. My breathing grew shallow, and the wetness in between my legs only added to my embarrassment.“Damn it!” I cursed out loud before I could stop mysel

Chapter 25: The Mayor’s Call

Damon’s POV It started with a ring. Sharp, abrupt, and annoyingly persistent. I groaned, rolling over to swat at my phone on the nightstand. The light from the screen was blinding against the mid-day gloom in my room. Mayor? The name flashing across the screen wasn’t one I’d expected to see. My thumb hovered over the accept button for a second before I tapped it. “Mayor Larry,” I greeted, my voice thick from sleep. “Alpha,” his gravelly voice came through, low but urgent. “We need to talk. It’s about your brother.” Alaric. Of course, it was always about him. My jaw clenched, a familiar irritation bubbling to the surface. “What has he done now?” “I’d rather discuss this in person,” Larry replied, curt as ever. “Can you meet me today? Say in two hours time at the council chambers?” I sighed, running a hand through my messy hair. “I’ll be there.” The line went dead before I could say another word. Typical Larry. I tossed the phone back onto the nightstand and pushed myself out of b

Chapter 26: The Mark of a Mate

Olivia’s POV“What tattoo?”The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop them. I stared at Lucien, confusion knotting my brows. He was now standing a few feet away, arms crossed over his chest, his eyes narrowed in that brooding way of his.“You’ve got a tattoo,” he said again, pointing at my shoulder. I shook my head, scoffing. “Hell no, I don’t. I didn’t get a tattoo.” My voice was firm, but the slight sting on my shoulder told a different story. “I hate tattoos, Lucien. You know that better than anyone else.”Lucien’s gaze didn’t waver. “Are you sure?”I rolled my eyes. “Of course I’m sure! I would’ve noticed if someone had randomly tattooed me, don’t you think? Besides you saw me this morning… almost bare, did I look like a tattooed mate?”He took a step closer, his gaze dipping to my shoulder. “Then explain this.”Before I could reply, he reached out, pulling my dress to the side slightly to expose my bare skin. My breath hitched as I caught sight of it in the mirror he

Chapter 27: Shadows of An Alpha

Damon POVThe rain always seemed heavier on days like these, drumming against the bond of my car as if nature itself knew the weight of what was coming. I pulled up into the dimly lit alley where I was scheduled to meet Mayor Larry, the poor excuse for a man who could barely hold his own against the sight of a shadow. The dimly lit alley was our “council chamber,” our very own meeting place. As I stepped out of the car, the sharp scent of wet asphalt mingled with the faint trace of fear lingering in the air. I didn’t need to see him to know he was already trembling—his heartbeat thrummed loud enough for me to hear even from a distance. I made my way down the narrow alley, my boots splashing through shallow puddles. The dim yellow glow of a flickering streetlamp cast jagged shadows on the brick walls. At the far end, I spotted Larry pacing nervously, his hands fidgeting with his coat buttons.“You’re late,” I said flatly, my voice cutting through the steady hum of the rain. He spun

Chapter 28: The Alpha’s Rules

Damon POVThe atmosphere in the private room was electric, the tension crackling like a storm about to break. I carried the redhead effortlessly, her legs locked tightly around my waist, her body pinned between me and the cold, unyielding wall.Her breath hitched as my hands gripped her thighs firmly, my strength a tangible force she couldn’t help but marvel at. She tilted her head back, her lips parting in a sultry grin.“Oh, feisty,” she purred, her voice dripping with anticipation. I love a dominant Alpha.”My gaze was sharp and unrelenting, my commanding presence silencing the room. My voice, low and rough, cut through the air. “You know the rules,” I growled. “Do not touch me.”Her grin widened, a flicker of defiance lighting her eyes, but she nodded, sauntered closer, her hips swaying with calculated allure. She stopped just short of them, her eyes narrowing as she took in the scene. “And what do you want, Mr. Alpha?” she asked, her voice like honeyed velvet. “What are your ne

Chapter 29: Interrupted Nights

Damon’s POVI leaned back in my chair, legs spread slightly, my stance daring as the two women knelt before me. The redhead’s firey grin paired with the burnette’s coy smirk sent a sharp thrill through me, but I didn’t move. Not yet. I had no intention of giving them what they hadn’t earned. “Now,” I said, my voice low and commanding. “Come show me how obedient you can be.”The redhead’s lips curved upward, her fingers lightly grazing the edge of my belt as she glanced at the brunette. “Let’s not keep him waiting, darling,” she purred, her voice dripping with mischief. The brunette giggled, but there was something more deliberate in her touch—a slow, deliberate glide of her hands over my waistband as her dark eyes lifted to meet mine. They were playing their parts perfectly, teasing, eager, and entirely at my mercy. As their fingers worked the buckle and pulled it free, I stayed silent, watching. They didn’t rush, not once. Every move was deliberate, a performance for me. The faint

Chapter 30: The Mark That Binds

Olivia POVThe quiet hum of the room was a comfort, the kind of silence that let my thoughts breathe but also threatened to suffocate me if I lingered too long. My fingers trailed over the strange tattoo on my collar bone, tracing its intricate patterns for what felt like the thousandth time. The ink shimmered faintly, even in the dim light streaming from the bedside lamp. It was beautiful, haunting, and utterly infuriating. It throbbed, a dull ache that pulsed in time with my heartbeat. Like it was alive. Like it had a purpose I wasn’t privy to.What does it even mean? I sighed, dragging my nails softly across the design, frustration bubbling beneath my skin.“I wouldn’t bother. It’s not coming off, no matter how much you stare at it,” Aria’s voice rang through my head, her tone clipped and indifferent.My wolf. Silent for years, yet now she decided to speak?“Look who’s finally decided to grace me with her presence,” I muttered aloud, my tone laced with sarcasm.Aria snorted. Don’t
