Alpha Leo’s POV
I could see the dumbfounded look on her face as she saw Theodore and me in her room. She moved her gaze to Theo and then moved it back to me and gulped. Slowly, she got up on her feet and bowed her head at us. “Greetings, how can I help you, Alphas?” she spoke slowly, and I could swear she had the nicest voice I have ever heard. Or was it the mate bond doing its work?“Claim her, she is ours.” Max howled in my head, but I kept him at bay and looked at Theo, whose eyes hadn't left her.“I believe you are aware that we are your mates,” Theo spoke assertively, and I sighed, then looked at her. She seemed to be confused by Theo's words, which got my attention.“Sorry, Alpha, I don't know what you mean. What do you mean by me being your mate?” She asked, sounding ignorant, and I raised a brow at her.“Don't tell me you don't know that we are your mates,” I asked, and she seemed confused by my words. “I'm sorry; I think there is a mistake…” Before she could finish, Theo cut her off.“There is no mistake; our wolves aren't wrong. You are our mate,” Theo spoke frustratingly, and I sighed.She shook her head and took steps away from us. “I think there is a mistake somewhere; my wolf doesn't recognize you two as my mates,” she said, and I had to look at her with a furrowed brow. “That’s impossible,” I said, and she gulped.“I think there is a mistake…” She spoke, and Theo groaned. Before I could comprehend what was happening, Theo rushed toward her, pinned her to the wall, and lifted her hands above her head. “Theo,” I snapped at him, but he ignored me, leaned to the left crook of her neck, while she tried to struggle out of his grip, but he was way too strong for her.Theo leaned closer to her neck, and I saw him sniff deeply before he held her gaze. “You are our mate; my wolf isn't wrong,” he stated firmly and let go of her. She frowned at him, looked at me, and then back at Theo.“With all due respect, Alphas, you guys are wrong. I'm not your mate; my wolf doesn't see you two as our mates,” she said, and I grunted. “Then maybe your wolf is wrong,” I said, and she moved her attention to me.“My wolf is not wrong; I don’t feel the attraction of our mate bond. We are not mates,” she spoke rudely, and Theo and I groaned as we both stared at her.She looked away and then faced Theo, who was closer to her. “I'm going downstairs to tell Austin about it because I don't understand what is going on,” she spat and tried walking away, but I gripped her wrist and stopped her. I felt a series of emotions as I took hold of her wrist, something I haven't felt by touching anyone.She glared at me and I looked into her alluring eyes. Despite the anger in her eyes, I could still see that she has the most beautiful eyes I have seen on anyone.“Why are you stopping me, Alpha Leo?” She called my name, and I knew she can differentiate us, maybe it's because of the color of our eyes. Theo's were sea blue, while mine were green. I looked at Theo, who was just staring at us. He was silent, and so was I.“Let her go,” Theo urged through the mind link, but I shook my head. No matter what, I can't let her tell Austin, that would break him, and I don't want that.Theo groaned, and ran his fingers through his hair, while I let go of her hand, and she looked at her wrist for a second and then back at me. She swallowed hard and then moved away. I watched her sit on the bed and look outside the window.“Is this a plan? You two don’t want me with Austin, and that's why you have to fabricate such lies,” she asked, and I frowned at her words. “I will advise you to watch your words, woman,” I said, annoyed by her statement.Theo walked over to where she stood and looked straight into her eyes, but she gulped and looked away. “Something tells me you also know that we are your mates, and it's best known to you why you are lying and pretending not to know about it,” he accused, and I could agree with him. I didn't believe her words a bit; she couldn't fool us.“I don't know what games you are playing, but I will advise you to stop playing this game because it won't be funny if we get to join you,” I added, and she moved her gaze to me with a blank look on her face, making it hard for me to know what she was feeling.I signaled to Theo, and we both teleported and arrived at our studies. I went to the bar in the corner of the studies, took out a bottle of whiskey and two glasses. I took a seat and placed the cups on the table, while Theo just stood in a corner with his hands in his pant pockets.I took a deep breath, opened the bottle of whiskey, and filled the glasses. While picking up the glass from the table, I got up from my seat and walked over to where Theo was seated. I stretched out the glass of whiskey to him, and he seemed reluctant to take it, but he eventually did and gulped a large quantity down his throat. I took a sip of mine and began walking around the study while I went into deep thoughts. Olivia was our mate; we weren't wrong. But why would her wolf not recognize us as her mate?“She is our mate, and she knows it,” Theo spoke as if he was reading my thoughts. “And you should have let her tell Austin about it,” he added, and I frowned at him.“You know that is a foolish thing to say.” I snapped at him, and he scoffed. “There is no need to hide it because everyone will know soon, and the earlier, the better. Goodness, I can't believe my younger brother is fucking my mate,” he grunted and emptied his glass while I just stared at him as his last words rang in my head. The thought of her and Austin brought an uncomfortable feeling in me, and just like Theo, I emptied my glass and went for a refill.While I was filling up my glass, a knock came on the door, and I asked the person in. Austin walked into the room with a smile playing on his face.“Big bros,” he spoke happily and hugged Theo, who hugged him back. He came to where I stood and also hugged me. “I missed you two; just seven months of not seeing you two feels like hell to me,” he said, and I forced out a smile. I didn't want him to suspect a thing.“Then why don't you return to the pack?” I suggested, but he pouted. “Sorry, but I love London, and when I get married to Olivia, we will reside in London and start up our family,” he said, taking the glass of wine from my hand and then taking a sip.I looked at Theo, who didn't seem happy about it, and I had to signal him not to blurt out a word. Theo frowned at him, and I shifted my gaze back to Austin. “So, you really love this girl,” I asked, and Austin nodded with a smile. “She is the love of my life, bro. She makes me so happy, and every moment with her seems like a dream come true. It's strange how I wasn't lucky with love, but with her, it seems like the moon goddess answered my prayers,” I could see how his eyes lit up as he talked about her. “She makes me so happy, bro. Her presence is like a light in my life, and I don't think I will be able to live without her,” he said, and Theo grunted, forcing our attention to him.“You will be able to live without her. She is not God or the moon goddess,” he snapped at Austin before teleporting away.Olivia's POVIt's past 1 am, and I couldn't sleep. I felt suffocated in my room, coupled with the fact that my wolf had been fighting with me. Due to the severe headache I had, I decided to go downstairs and get some water. I left my room and took the stairs to the living room. When I arrived there, I saw a few guards positioned at each end of the living room. I ignored them and made my way to the kitchen. When I arrived in the kitchen, I took out a bottle of water, and then I felt someone behind me. I turned and saw that it was Lady Catherine.She was dressed in her nightwear, and it seems, just like me, she came for water. “You couldn't sleep,” she asked, and I nodded while boiling with anger. “I also can't sleep, and there is no water in the fridge up in my room. It seems the servants forgot to fill up the fridge,” she said, and I hummed and watched her go over to the fridge.As she turned her back to me, I wished I could bring out my fangs and claws and kill her right at that mom
Alpha Theo’s POVWith gritted teeth and clenched fists, I watched her kiss Austin right before me. Unable to withstand it, I took a step towards them, but Leo held my arm and shook his head. “Take a grip of yourself,” he said, and I groaned. “Claim her; she is ours,” Douglas howled possessively in my head, urging me to take Olivia away from Austin, but Leo was stopping me. With burning rage, I watched them kiss. After a moment, they pulled away, and Olivia smirked at me, making me grit my teeth.“Brothers, you are here,” Austin said as he approached, his hand wrapped around Olivia's waist. “The house is full; it's just for mother and fathers to join us,” Austin said with laughter. Neither Leo nor I smiled, except Olivia. “So, what are you working on, baby?” he said to Olivia, who smiled at him.“I have to leave; I just got a signal,” I said. “Me too,” Leo lied. Austin looked at us with worry. “Is everything okay?” he asked, and Leo responded because I wasn't going to give a response.
Olivia's POVI couldn't wipe the smirk off my face as I stared at Alpha Leo and Theo, who seemed stunned by the announcement. Holding Alpha Theo's gaze, I could see he was fuming with anger, but I knew he wouldn't say a word; they were all scared of Austin's condition.“Really, that is great news. Congratulations,” Lady Catherine beamed at me. “Then we have to prepare for the wedding. Don't worry; I will get the best wedding planner in town,” she said, and I forced out a smile. If only she knew there wouldn't be any wedding because she wouldn't be alive to see it.“Are you sure about this, Austin? Marriage isn't something you should rush into,” one of their dads spoke, and I met his gaze. As we held each other's gaze, I sensed something suspicious, but I smiled and looked away. It was evident he didn't like me or was suspicious about something.“Yes, Father, we are sure about it, right, Olivia?” Austin asked, and I hummed before smiling at him. “We have thought it through,” I said whi
Olivia’s POV At first, Austin seemed surprised and confused by what he saw, and immediately I released myself from Leo’s grip. I gulped. “Austin,” I called out, but he didn’t look at me. Instead, he looked at Leo and said, “Why are you bothering her? You could have just come to me.”I was confused by his words. “Do you want to scare her away into marrying me?” He questioned Leo, and I became more confused.I looked at Alpha Leo, who didn’t seem bothered by the situation. I wasn’t scared of Austin finding out; all I was worried about was my plan being stopped. “I know why you are here, brother. You are here to threaten Olivia to leave me just because we aren’t mates,” Austin said, and I looked at him.“If you have a problem, come to me and leave Olivia out of this. It’s our decision to be together, so why can’t you all just accept it?” Austin said in an angry tone, and I took a deep breath in relief. It was relieving to know that he thought Alpha Leo was here to threaten me.“If you al
Olivia’s POVWhat I did, I did on impulse, but I did not regret it and didn’t care about what would happen. With hate and disgust, I held his gaze and could see that he was burning with anger. His jaws were clenched, and his eyes held a daggering glare at me.“Take a grip of yourself,” Alpha Leo pleaded with him, and then he looked at me. “I will take you to the party before anyone suspects a thing.” He didn’t allow me to say a word before he held my hand and teleported me away.Like a blink of an eye, we arrived inside a massive building. The men who were guarding the building bowed their heads to Alpha Leo the moment they saw us. Alpha Leo, ignoring their greetings, looked at me, and I stared back at him. I could see that he had a lot to say to me, but he was quite different from Alpha Theo. Just a few days of knowing them, and I can tell two differences about them. Alpha Leo was slow to act, while Theo acted rationally. Alpha Leo doesn’t speak much; he can conceal a secret, but The
Alpha Leo's POVThe hall was a bit noisy, so I went out to receive a call and decided to go to the garden. But, when I got there, I was dumbfounded to see Olivia in the arms of Jaycee.“Mine!” My wolf howled possessively, and out of impulse, I rushed to them, pulling Olivia out of his arms. When she turned and saw that it was me, I could see how shocked and confused she was, causing my anger to boil.“What is the meaning of this?” I spoke through gritted teeth while holding her gaze. All she did was shrug and look at Lycan Jaycee before looking back at me. “Why don't you ask him? I believe he would be in the right position to tell you.” She smirked at me and then walked away, leaving me with Jaycee.With clenched jaws, I looked at Jaycee, who had a nonchalant look on his face. An angry grunt left my lips as I tried to suppress my emotions. “What do you think you are doing?” I asked with burning rage, but he only smirked and moved closer to me.Our eyes interlocked, and he grinned. “Do
Olivia's POVThe party came to an end, and we all returned home, with Alpha Leo teleporting me. I said goodbyes to the family and went up to my room. As I undressed to take my bath, my mind dwelled on what happened today. Today, I was forcefully kissed by Alpha Theo, and as if that weren't enough, Lycan Jaycee seemed interested in me.I scoffed and took a bath; after bathing, I changed into my nightwear and sat on the bed. It's been two days since I arrived here, and I haven't made an attempt for my plans. By now, I should be thinking of taking one member of the family, and my easiest target was Catherine. She was human, and it would be so easy to kill her, but I knew I had to be careful and cautious so no one would notice it was me.“What do I do?” I asked myself as I ran my fingers through my hair. Then, I thought of my Aunt and made a mind link with her. “Aunt,” I called, and she responded. “My dear Olivia, how are you?” She asked, and I sighed. “I'm doing well, but I need to start
Alpha Leo’s POV When I arrived back in my room, I kept pacing around while my whole being burned with desires. Right there, I wanted to devour, claim her and make her mine, but I knew that wasn’t the right time and the right thing to do. From the kiss and the way she submitted to me, it was obvious that she was our mate. But then, why would she hide and deny it? Or does she love Austin so much that she doesn’t want to leave him and be with us?“She doesn’t love him,” Max, my wolf, spoke, and I just sighed and sat on the bed while I continued pondering in thoughts. It's just a month until the wedding, and I knew I have to do something to stop it, but what can I do that wouldn’t hurt Austin?“You should also think of yourself, Leo. Stop always putting everyone first before you,” Max scolded, and I sighed. It wasn’t as easy as he made it sound.“Leo, I’m at the office, and she’s here with me,” Theo spoke through the mind link, and I had to teleport to the office where I met Theo seated
