DAMONIt was as if everything beside me stopped for a moment as a wave of cold hit my body upon hearing Luca's last statement. “What? Why are you just telling me that now?” I yelled, threw the book I had been holding in my hand away, and made to leave. Whatever Luca just revealed sounds untrue but now that Olivia is involved, I just have to believe him, he would not lie to me. I trusted Claire and loved her genuinely as a good friend of mine. Why would she poison me and my mate? Tiana was so nice to her to the extent that people thought they were sisters because of how close they were, so why? Why did she do something like that? “I already sent the guards to follow her, they must've apprehended her by now. Let's go back to the tower” Luca responded. My blood was boiling at the highest degree, and each step I took hurriedly back home aggravated my anger. I felt scared, disappointed, and betrayed. Claire had no reason to hate either of us. Was keeping her close to me a bad idea? I
DAMONFor a minute, my legs were frozen to the floor, my heart was beating faster than normal as fear crept into me. How did I not see this side of Claire all these years? Has she always been like this? Slowly, I walked up to her and grabbed the collar of her shirt. “Where did you keep Olivia? What did you do to her? She's only a young girl, she's not even an adult yet. Why would you hate her?” I hollered“You were keeping her too close to you and it was bothering me,” Claire said. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm my raging nerves. “If you were glad that I survived, why have you not done anything to take the poison out of my body?” I walked closer to her. “Because I can't do anything about it, the poison in your blood. The only way you can get rid of it is by replacing your blood with another” I would need to replace my blood. “What kind of poison did you use?” I growled. “That does not matter. Olivia will be good for the job, she's young and agile. Killing her wi
OLIVIAI woke up to the gentle caress of morning sunlight dancing on my eyelids, wheedling me from the embrace of slumber.The delicate warmth seeps through the curtains, adorning the room in a golden glow. Stretching myself under the blanket, I sat up on the bed. Time slipped by quickly, and it had already been six months since the incident with Claire and eight months since I moved into Alpha Damon’s tower. It’s still a surprise to me that Alpha Damon indeed killed Claire with his hands. Zania told me that her death had something to do with the late Luna, but she blatantly refused to give me any details. I am not happy that she died, but I am glad she is no longer here. Her being here will only strain my brain. These past months have been nothing but sweet. Alpha Damon treated me well and always made sure that I lacked nothing as his mistress. His attitude confuses me, but I love it. Having him taking care of me makes my heart race a marathon and being close to him has become
OLIVIA“Did you forget how to talk?” Alpha Damon’s husky voice bellowed in my ears. He moved his hand from my cheek and removed a strand of my hair that fell on my face. I cleared my throat, attempting to move away from him, but he briskly grabbed onto me. He placed his hand on my waist and maneuvered me until I was seated close to him again. His touch shot waves of electricity through me, consuming me with a feeling I couldn’t explain. “Why were you scared?” he repeated “What?” I asked, ultimately failing to remember what our discussion was about for a moment. When I gained composure, I heard him laughing in amusement. My embarrassment must be entertaining to him. “Why are you so flushed? Was it my question?” he mocked. I couldn’t tell if Alpha Damon was willfully doing this to me out of pure entertainment or if he did not have an idea of his effect on me. His hand slipped into my shirt, up to my breast. As a loud gasp escaped my lips at how sudden his action was, he glowered i
DAMONDroplets of water clung to my skin as I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist. I felt re-energized after taking a cold shower, and throughout the entire bath, I could not stop beaming. Being with Olivia does nothing but make me delighted for some unknown reasons. My eyes grasped her stunning figure seated gracefully on the edge of my bed. Her interesting features drew me in with an irresistible enticement. Her delicate curves, soft lips, and eyes hold universes within them. Her hair, a cloudburst of silk, falls elegantly to the side, framing her face like a nimbus.Her presence filled my cold room with fervor as she sat there with a flushed face that made her more beautiful. She was reeking of nervousness, and I could not tell why. My steps sputtered in the middle of the room with my attention on her. She hummed and fidgeted with the hem of her gown, ostensibly not aware of my presence until I cleared my throat. Her innocent, pristine eyes fell o
OLIVIA’s POVMy gaze held that of Damon’s desperate eyes looking at me. I bit my lower lip and stood up on my feet since he had already done the same. “What do you say? Will you come on a walk with me?” He asked. I eagerly nodded my head at him and smiled. Going out of the tower wouldn’t be that bad, and besides, I need some air that is not of this place right now. “Great. Then, can we go now?” A little chuckle escaped my mouth at his response. It made me curious to know why he wanted to go out with me. He has never done that before. On second thought, I was scared of what the people might say about him or me if they saw us together. I am an omega. It will only take just one person to get the entire pack to know who I am. There is no way I am ashamed of my rank in the pack. That is not the reason I do not want anyone to find out. I am scared of people’s ridicule. They will stop at nothing but humiliate me and look down on me for being an omega. “Okay,” I replied. Alpha Damon
OLIVIA’s POVI have been looking forward to my 18th birthday since I was 15, mainly because I wanted to escape from my uncle’s house. The thought of my 18th birthday kept me going because if I am lucky, I will meet my mate. Now that I am no longer in my uncle’s house, I do not know how I feel about it. Today is my birthday, I am officially an adult, but it does not excite me anymore. Alpha Damon has been avoiding me too, he doesn’t want to see me, and each time I go to see him, he sends me back to my room. I thought today would be the happiest day of my life but it’s no fun when Alpha Damon treats me with so much coldness. I hate his attitude toward me but there is nothing I can do about it. I never knew he would have so much effect on me. “Happy Birthday, Olivia” Zania’s voice brought me back to reality. I sighed and passed her a smile. She’d probably be the only person that would wish me a happy birthday today. My uncle and his family have never celebrated my birthday before,
OLIVIA’s POV‘There is no need to keep you around, Olivia’ Those words kept playing in my ears in an unhealthy manner. I tried to process what he just said to me from another angle that would be in my favor, but his words were too clear, perplexing me for over a minute. “I only kept you here for my sake and our agreement has expired,” Alpha Damon pronounced, throwing me off guard with his sudden coldness towards me. I thought that he would never show me this side of him that people talk about and fear, but I was wrong. The look on his face right now screams irritation and a burning anger that he does not want to let out just yet. “I advise you to go out there and search for your mate. It’s high time you left because I don’t want to be seeing you around here anymore. It will make Hazel uncomfortable,” he added. For the first time in my life, I felt my heart shatter. I stumbled backward as Alpha Damon pushed me out of the way and left with his supposed mate.Just within two months
