DAMONI chuckled to myself as I stood up from the bed. Olivia's naivety makes me wonder if she has always been like that. I know she hasn't eaten since yesterday and already instructed the maid to get her something to eat after showing her to her room. I get that the way she was brought up shaped her life, I equally know that she's scared of voicing her opinion to me, of course, she's scared of me just like the rest of my people. But living with me isn't going to be all rosy for her, she will have to learn and get used to the new way of living around here. For some reason, I want to be soft on her and treat her well. After three years, I got to see someone who could act as a substitute for Nina since they are similar in so many ways. I'd have thought that they were from the same family if I hadn't known that Nina was from a more welcoming family where she was loved and cherished. That is not the case for Olivia. Although I see her as a subs
OLIVIA I rolled on the bed and opened my eyes as I felt a hot gust on my shoulder. I let out a loud squeal when I saw Alpha Damon seated comfortably right in front of my bed like he had been there, doing nothing but staring at me. When did he come here and why is he seated there? “I thought you were not going to wake up again” he mumbled after clearing his throat. I mentally facepalmed myself. I only wanted to rest a little but I ended up sleeping for long which I didn't plan to. “Good afternoon Alpha” I greeted, collecting myself. "Do you like your room? Is there anything you want to change?" he pointed out, ultimately disregarding my greeting. What more could I want when I already have a nice room? It's fully furnished with all the basic things I will need while I am here and two times larger than my storage room back in my uncle's house. I have never had a bed in my room but I do now, that's more than enough for me. I shook my head in reaction. "I am okay with the room, than
I sat down on my bed unsure of what to do with my time. Alpha Damon didn't waste his time with me, he left after instructing me to join him when it was time for dinner. I have been seated in the same spot for thirty minutes, I haven't seen anything as boring as that. What am I supposed to be doing with my time during the day? I will get weary if I continue this routine daily, I am not used to such a privilege, and having worked all my life, it feels like a crime to have this kind of liberty. It'd be better if I am allotted something to do, no matter how tangible it might be. Sincerely, I am also scared that if others find out about me being an omega, they might feel cheated that I do nothing but eat and sleep in the tower. A lot of things that I have gone through were supposed to make me stronger but I can't get rid of the overly sensitive part of me. Hurtful words get to me than physical torture. The thought of that happening made me feel frightened. I don't want to go through s
After Claire left, I began cleaning my neat room, scattering and arranging them back to take my mind off everything. I did the same thing till evening, Zania entered as I was at it “Good evening mistress” she greeted upon seeing me. She came at the right time, I need some company right now even though we are not going to say anything to each other. “Evening” I replied monotonously. “Are you okay?” she asked, noticing that I wasn't looking okay. I nodded my head in response and sat down on the bed. “If you don't have anything doing, can you please stay with me for a while?” I appealed. “I would have loved to but the Alpha demands your presence, it's time for dinner. You are asked to join him in his chamber” she informed me. I had forgotten that Alpha Damon asked me to join him when it was time for dinner. I sighed and bit my lip as I made my way to stand up. “Thank you” I emitted, we both walked out of my room with her following me till I was in front of Alpha Damon’s door as i
By the time I got to my room, a sigh left my mouth. The image of Alpha Damon glancing at Claire in enthusiasm and trust earlier wouldn't get out of my head. How could he trust her when she was just putting on an act? But then again, Claire looked so innocent, that anyone would think that she couldn't hurt a fly. I would have thought so too if I hadn't met her just yet. I hopped on my bed and covered myself with the cloak while jiggling my head to get rid of the thoughts in it. Maybe, just maybe, things will get better after I sleep and wake up….Next morning… I woke up to the sound of movements in my room to see Zania tidying up the room. “Good morning mistress” she greeted. Sitting up on the bed, I sleepily stretched myself and nodded my head at her. “Is this part of what you are to do too? If I can't clean my room by myself, what should I be doing?” I gawked at her in a displeasing manner. “Alpha Damon instructed me to, you don't have to do anything, mistress. All you need to
OLIVIAI took a quick glance at Alpha Damon and smiled bitterly at him. He must be so close to Claire for him to know her this much. If they have such a good relationship, why did he bring me here to be left in the middle of all this? “Are you okay?” I heard Alpha Damon’s soft voice that brought me back to ogling at him. I smiled at him again, but this time around, it was with a nod. I adjusted the tray of food in front of me because of my sudden loss of appetite. I wasn’t expecting myself to be in this situation. When he sees Claire as an angel, what can I say to convince him that he is being played and manipulated by her, since that is what she is very good at? “Are you not going to eat again? You barely touched your food, you did the same thing yesterday,” he accentuated. I did not think he would notice such menial things. I couldn’t eat yesterday because I was not comfortable. I flat out felt ignored by the dining, and Claire’s glares were almost choking me to death. I lost
I peeked at him to see him leering at it without averting his gaze. He wasn’t having that Enraged look on his face anymore, he was gawking at it with softness and longing.He must’ve missed the Luna dearly, if this belongs to her then, she is lucky her mate still thinks about her and longs for her even after three years have passed. Up till this moment, I do not know what happened to the Luna. Karen once mentioned that her death wasn’t ordinary. There was a case, but what was it? How did she end up dead and why did those rumors about Alpha Damon disassociating himself from other females after the Luna’s death keep spreading? I shouldn’t be curious about it since it has nothing to do with me, but my inquisitiveness got to me. There were also rumors about the Luna dying because of Apha Damon. But if that was the case, he wouldn’t be staring at her belongings with such a gaze. For the first time since I got here, I could finally read him. He didn’t hide his emotion, or maybe he got
I glanced at Claire and then at Zania, who nodded her head at me. Without uttering a word, I began moving towards Claire, who was already walking out of my room. She was mad. I could tell from the way she spoke to me earlier and the way she was walking away. I couldn’t keep up with her pace. Claire is tall. She is a beautiful definition of a perfect creation. I am nowhere compared to her with my short legs. “Are you stupidly this slow or you are trying to make me talk?” Claire flared. She stopped and turned to look at me. How is she expecting her to walk when she is so fast? At least, I know the road to Alpha Damon’s quarters. It doesn’t matter if she gets there before me, but then, I am trying to avoid a lot of things that will bring problems to me.She is the last person I want to get on her nerves. I know my presence riles Claire up, but there is nothing the both of us can do about it.I do not have anywhere else to go to and she can’t send me away. “I’m sorry,” I apologized an
