OLIVIA
My heart pounded relentlessly as Dante slumped, unconscious and bleeding. Fear gripped me, and my mind raced with questions. Why was he bleeding? Was it an illness or something more sinister?I couldn't get the main reason why, I found it difficult to think so straight as my brain was bluntly inactive to decipher what exactly had just occurred. Uncertainty tightened its grip around me as I watched, helpless, hoping for any sign that he would be okay.I watched his assistant carry him, running like if he hadn't left that spot at the moment, the young man would be a dead figure.As the guards escorted me out of the cell, I found it hard to get over with the thoughts of his collapse, it haunted my thoughts like I had a hand to it, leaving me with a gnawing anxiety.Even as I felt a little freedom, I wasn't at ease. I can't count how long I've been pacing the room, my brain pounding against my head. The weather is getting dark, and yet...each passing moment spoke how curious I was.Why haven't I heard anything about his condition? Does it mean his condition is critical? Will he be alright? Will he survive the trauma?Fuck it, Olivia! I cursed.I couldn't help but be startled by the unfamiliar emotions growing within me. I found myself questioning my own transformation. It was unlike me to feel such anxiety for someone, especially someone I had just encountered.Why did I care so deeply for someone I had just met? Was it merely empathy, or was there more to this connection than I could comprehend?However, it only made matters worse.I hesitated as I stood before the door to the room I discerned was Dante's room, my heart pounding against my chest as I knocked gently. The door creaked open, revealing his stern-faced assistant. A frown etched across his face."What are you doing here?" He questioned my presence. "You shouldn't be here.""I just wanted to check if he's alright," I explained, my tone held sincerity. His disapproving gaze lingered, skeptical of my intentions, more like he had doubts in my words."What right do you have to care?" he retorted, his words laced with a harsh edge.I was beginning to feel frustrated with his annoying questions and silly attitude of trying to play the best guard man ever. What the heck do you think you are? Of what right are you to act tough to me?I cursed within myself but I dared not to voice it out.The threat of being thrown into that cell is one I doubt I can overcome. I bit my lips, ignoring him for a moment.I turned my attention to the helpless figure laying on the bed. "Doctor, is he going to be alright?" I asked, at the sight of a doctor who stood beside his king-sized bed, concern evident in my eyes.Dante sat up, looking up with his piercing eyes assessing me. I couldn't tell how I felt at the moment, if I was just being worried or a bit excited to see he was getting better."You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine." He assured me but I still couldn't tell if he was lying or not. "Come one, we've got a wedding to attend."Wedding?Does he still think about the wedding when his condition isn't fit for him?"Like I said, I'll be fine." He said, like he knew what I was thinking. Hold on, did he just read my mind? "Get dressed, it's just me and you."I hesitated, but however, if I did want my freedom, playing foolish was the best way to have it. I glared at his assistant who wasn't making any attempt to wear off the ugly look on his face, did it matter anyway?I headed back to the room, surprisingly, there was a maid there and she was picking new clothes from the wardrobe. "Excuse me?" I called, she turned, staring at me with a soft smile on her face."The alpha ordered me to help you out with something to wear."Okay. One minute I was with him and there was no maid with us, the next...he had ordered her to help pick new clothes?I let her do her job, and she helped me pick a better outfit. It's saddening I ain't a fan of long gowns. "Can I get a trouser instead?" I requested.She smiled again. "I'm sorry, Miss, it's inappropriate to escort the Alpha King to an important occasion in casual wear."I had no choice. Not like I had one though.—We drove to a familiar environment, one I haven't forgotten yet. I wondered why we were heading towards the same mansion I had been taken from, but I didn't ask.On reaching the alpha quarters, there were countless cars already parked in the compound. Dante stepped out of the car and so did I. I felt my heart beating heavily, fear gripping me.I didn't realize he had noticed until he asked. "Is everything alright?" He asked, throwing a concern looking at me."Yeah. Yeah, of course. Just nervous."We walked into the mansion, I tried my best to avoid the familiar faces I had once left behind so no one would have to notice me. I followed the man with me wherever he was going since he seemed to know better.I felt my adrenaline rise as we walked towards the direction of the groom and his bride. They were backing us, but from the stature of the groom, I don't need anyone to tell me who it was.Mateo County...my ex fiance."Congratulations, Mateo." He said, causing both Mateo and his bride to turn to our side.My eyes widened upon seeing Charlotte, my best friend as the bride. The smile on her face quickly faded off upon seeing me. So this is it. She is the reason why Mateo broke our engagement. She is the reason Mateo isn't getting married to me.All along while I thought she was a better figure in my life, little did I know she was nothing but a snitch. And to make matters even worse, Mateo said; "Hello, uncle. It's been a long time."Uncle? Did he just call Dante, Uncle?OLIVIAI was overwhelmed by immense shock and disbelief, how could this happen to me?Was the moon goddess toiling with my life or what? First, she mated me to a man that never cared about me.After being with me for years and upon the support that I gave him, he discarded our relationship like it meant nothing to him.Upon suffering and getting heartbroken; how could the moon goddess still make him the nephew of the man that I was ready to marry?Though Dante was still a stranger to me, he hadn't been too much of a horrible person and his deal was perfect for me. Why did this have to happen?"Mateo, this is my fiancee, Olivia." Dante introduced me, worsening the tension that I was already feeling.Mateo's gaze landed on me and it was cold and intense. He must be shocked as well to see his ex-mate getting married to his uncle. How ironic and pathetic."Fiancee?" His eyes widened at me and he scrutinized me from head to toe.I was looking better and wearing a beautiful dress but that co
OLIVIA He was trying to scare but there was this sudden courage that possessed my body like a current and those fangs that showed didn't scare me at all.Instead, I saw him as a coward, this was his frail attempt to make me unhappy. He was jealous that I had found someone better than him.I didn't know much about Dante but like I said before, he didn't seem like a bad person. Since I met him, his voice had never been raised at me. Only his assistant had made a fuss about every situation.Dante was calm and earlier he defended me from Mateo, which showed his difference.I looked at the coward who was coming much closer and I snarled in disgust. I pushed him on the chest and since it was unexpected, he staggered backward in shock.The expression on his face was satisfying."How dare you make demands? You have no right whatsoever to tell what to do. You lost that privilege when you rejected me so heartlessly! Moreover, you're a disgusting cheat!" I yelled dauntlessly.Mateo suddenly let
OLIVIAI couldn't permit him to toil with my life again. He had done too much.Mustering all the strength I had, I pushed him away. He staggered backwards like before resulting in his phone falling from his hand.The thought of those photos going viral made my stomach churn in fear. No one would believe me if I tried telling them the truth—not when the Alpha was involved. Besides, he was getting married to the Beta's daughter.What interest would he have in an omega like me, why would he try forcing himself on me? Those were going to be the questions thrown at me.My words and pleas were going to fall on deaf ears and I might risk getting shamed or exiled.The pictures must get deleted even if I had to do that by force.In the struggle to take the phone that had fallen, I lowered myself and swept the phone off the floor. I took some steps forward and was able to grab it.He tried getting his hold on me but I kicked him so hard in the groin that he fell to the floor, holding his cock. T
DANTEI stood outside waiting for her to let me in but she refused to come out of her room, and the silence inside remained deafening."Olivia," I called her name again but my call was met with the same silent response.She had left the party without a word. After leaving the restroom, I wondered why she wasn't coming out of there or joining me at the wedding party. I wanted to check on her but didn't want to seem clingy. She was already having a hard time because she was sold to me.She doesn't have a good impression of me and I wouldn't blame her."Alpha, should I bring a spare key?" My Beta (assistant) asked as he came to me.I thought of using a spare key but it seemed like she wanted to be alone. I wondered what had happened to her. She wasn't so lively when we left the party but at least she talked to me.Did something happen in the restroom? Was she bullied?"No, there's no need to open the door. If she wants to be alone, that's okay with me." I replied and stepped back from th
DANTEAfter the doctor left, I called my assistant to my bedroom. I couldn't go out since the doctor said I should rest for the evening until the next day.I called for my assistant to inquire if Olivia had eaten the food I prepared. He arrived at my bedroom shortly after, and bowed in greeting."About the food I prepared?" I asked him, feeling a sense of apprehension. "Did she eat it?""No," my assistant replied, shaking his head. "It's still sitting in the kitchen. Are you sure you're not going too far in your efforts to win her affection? She's an omega, and she doesn't deserve this kind of treatment."I ignored his words, not wanting to hear them. I was already feeling frivolous and didn't need him to reinforce that feeling. I simply needed to focus on getting better, and then I would figure out what to do about Olivia.“Why didn't she eat from it? Didn't she like it? Or wasn't she aware I made something for her?” I asked, feeling worried while looking at my beta.“She never came
OLIVIAAfter Dante’s threat, I felt a chill run down my spine. His eyes were filled with anger, and I knew he wasn't joking around. I realized that it was time to let go of everything and start over.Dante had never mistreated me. He had only shown me love since I moved into his mansion, despite my behavior. It was love I didn't deserve.I thought about what to do first. I had to show him that I was ready to let go of everything, including Mateo and Charlotte. They were probably happily enjoying their honeymoon, and I was stuck in my room sulking over nothing. It was time to move on.As I sat on my bed in my room thinking about what to do, I remembered that I had never eaten the food Dante had cooked for me. I had abandoned it, and I felt remorseful. I decided that the first thing I would do was make it up to him by cooking a meal for him. I could invite him to dine with me and show him how grateful I was for his kindness.I rushed to the kitchen and began preparing a meal, I chose to
OLIVIA"Alpha!" His assistant, Diego exclaimed, rushing over to his side. I followed suit, but as I approached, he gave me a look of dread, and I stopped in my tracks."Quickly, we need to call the doctor," he instructed the head Butler, who immediately reached for his phone. Diego helped Dante to his feet, and I watched in horror as he guided him out of the room, his body cold and unresponsive.“What have I done? My mind was filled with questions, and I could feel a sense of panic rising within me. I looked over at the untouched bowl of noodles on the dining table and felt a knot in my stomach. What if something was wrong with the food? I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me as I paced back and forth in the dining room. My thoughts were racing, and I couldn't stop questioning myself. "What have I done?" I wondered, glancing at the bowl of untouched noodles on the table again.I started to feel a sinking sensation in my stomach as I considered the possibility that the noodles had made
DANTEI had regained consciousness when I overheard the argument between Diego and Olivia whom I recognized by the sound of her voice. Then I saw Diego walk in and bang the door in rage, he was almost approaching the bed when a heavy knock came on the door, and the knock turned to unending banging as Olivia kept demanding that Diego should allow her to come in.I wanted to ask Diego to allow her in, but he had already stormed out of the room, the door slamming shut behind him. I tried to sit up, but the doctor held me back. "Please, I need to stop him," I said, my voice urgent."You need to rest," my doctor said, shaking his head. "You've been through a lot."I knew he was right, but I couldn't let Diego hurt Olivia. “Please doctor, I understand everything you have said but I have to do something if you wouldn't want to witness murder before you leave tonight,” I said and started climbing down the bed despite how dizzy I was and the doctor couldn't help but give me a hand.He led me
