Olivia's POVAnger and hateThose are the feelings I got as soon as they both left the room. I loathed the mere fact that they were with another woman just to guilt-trip me.However, the lie had spilled through my lips. Apparently, I had thought nothing of it at the moment. I felt way too cornered, spewing whatever came to my mind. Not long after they left, I realized how much of a problem I had caused.I felt an uneasiness within me. It was my wolf, Lolita. She never saw meaning in this quest of mine and knew a lot was up my sleeves, but what choice did I have?“What was that about? And yes, I mean the lies about being pregnant, for Austin of all people,” I felt the disgust she had at the moment. She probably hated me for every decision I made, but I never knew it would end up this twisted.“I had to lie. What would you have supposed I did? Relax into the air as I watched them force the mate bond onto me?” She scoffed on hearing my words, being unrealistic, and I knew she was about t
ALPHA THEO'S POV“What is up with him?” Father Darin asked as he walked into the room, putting me in a tight spot and diverting my gaze from him. I scanned the room; a lot of damage was already done, and there was no possible sane explanation for it.“What brings you to my room?” I asked, trying to switch the line of discussion, but I knew better. Father Darin was the type to get to the root of matters, and he was at it already.“I heard noises. I rushed as I was just around the corridors, and when I checked, it turned out to be Leo. He wasn't in good shape when he left as well,” he complained, just as I had expected.I ran my hands deep into my hair before glancing right back at him. “He'll be fine. It's nothing we can't handle on our own. You know how he is at times, but we'll be fine. I'll speak to him.”He didn't seem convinced with my little speech, but he withdrew. He didn't pester me or say anything else. His eyes lingered on the broken vases. He made his way towards the door a
Olivia's POVIt was dinner time, and we were all seated around the table. The bowl of salad was passed across to me. I raised my brows as I shifted the bowl to Austin, my gaze locked with that of Theo.He appeared to have stared at me for a long time, and I had barely taken notice. I lowered my gaze back toward the plate of salad right in front of me. I fiddled around with the fork as I rolled it into the pasta. Times like these were what I hated, but it was pointless to keep complaining. There was no excuse left for me; I had not a single choice.The silence was so thick that it slashed into thin air. The tension filled the air, as no one had said a thing all along. The eyes of Leo fell on me as I raised the bit of pasta into my mouth. I also felt Sir Darin's gaze on me, but I had not a single choice. There was not much to that; it was no news how he hated me, and I was surprised at how quickly I had gotten used to it.I shifted on my feet, rather antsy. I was getting uneasy. I hated
Olivia’s POVThe next day, I wandered through the halls and eventually found myself headed down to the kitchen. Cautiously, I peered through and saw the maid preparing a salad. There was only one person that does this so often, and it also meant that she had just finished her breakfast, which suited me well.I walked in casually, glancing across the kitchen. Everyone was so busy that they had not quite taken note of my appearance.“Miss Olivia!” a maid called out, startled at my appearance. A smile spread across my lips as I walked up to them.“It's okay, please don't mind me, go about your normal duties,” I chirped. They seemed uneasy at first, but then they all felt somewhat relieved as they went about their activities.My eyes gazed across the room as I carefully inspected for cameras. There were four in total, one at the front, one at the back, one by the three huge freezers, and one at the center of the kitchen. It was no good; I knew it would be heavily guarded, but I really had
Alpha Leo's POVI knocked on the door and, with no response, it became certain that she was in. She raised her eyes and met mine as she unplugged the earpiece from her ears.“Duh? You knocked. I ignored the next cue, which was for you to leave. Why were you in my room anyway?” Dora asked. I felt irked at her words; it sure was not what I had expected to hear, but perhaps it was not new to me in any way.“I don't have time to dawdle with you. Where is Mom?” I asked almost immediately. I hardly came to Dora's room, but I had not found my mother in her room. That was the reason I was here. My eyes moved across the room, and I fixed them back on Dora.“I don't know where she has headed to, but she took that girl along with her,” Dora answered, and it got me confused. That was not the exact response I expected. Mother hardly took people along with her, although she loved driving.“Who do you speak of?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.“Who else could it be? Of course, it's the wannabe fiancée
Olivia's POVI sniffed into the air and drew out a loud sigh. I had gotten quite frustrated already. First, they went about teleporting in and out of my room and then flowers, petty flowers which I was forced to accept. I hated it.I stormed out of the room and headed towards the balcony, I took a long breath of air and then decided to take a stroll, perhaps what I needed was to leave the mansion and get a breath of fresh air.I tucked my hands behind my back as I kept on with the stroll, I admired a lot of things about the pack, down from the children playing to the oldest ones, to the perfectly structured building, it was worthwhile though, everything seemed well, after all, this was one of the largest packs in the world.“Excuse me, miss Olivia.” a woman called out to me as I passed her by. I glanced at her confused at what she wanted, it certainly was not what I had expected, and it seemed like she knew that as well.“Yes, how may I help you?” I asked, curious about the woman, she
OLIVIA'S POVSeeing how bewildered Lady Catherine was got me taken aback, and I realized I had done too much. I had lost my temper too much and said what I shouldn't have. She was staring at me with her mouth opened slightly and confusion filled her eyes. She seemed to have a lot to say, but she just kept quiet without saying a word and seeing that, I breathed in and out with my eyes closed as I tried to calm myself. I had lost my temper , and I needed to calm down if I wanted to make any sense out of my earlier actions. Lady Catherine stared at me without saying a word and I stared back at her, thinking of what to say until she finally closed her mouth and sighed. “I know things are difficult for you at the moment, you are going through a lot of pressure because of the wedding and all. I understand you must be exhausted with everything, so I will leave you. I think you need some space.” She said with a hint of sadness in her eyes and without waiting for me to reply, she opened th
OLIVIA'S POV I paced aimlessly around the room, thinking of what to do. I had bad feelings about meeting with him, but not meeting him would be worse, and I knew that. It was already bad enough staying in the mansion with the fear of someone finding out about me, but I knew it would be worse living in the mansion when I knew someone already found out, and he could always tell them. The fear was overwhelming, the confusion wasn't helping either, and I knew I had to do something to keep the situation under wrap as I wasn't ready to get exposed just yet. Not even when my plan was yet to bring out any big result. With that in mind, I decided to just go and meet him. I would talk to him, settle the matter, and think about what to do next. The risk of someone knowing the truth about me and being close to the Alphas was something I couldn't afford to look away from. It was dangerous, way too dangerous, and not even at the moment when I was yet to have a full grasp on everyone in the mans
