Three knocks on the door. It was the same every morning for the last two years. She barely spoke to me unless it was giving me a curfew or reprimanding me for something that I didn't do. I sighed as I sat up in my queen sized bed, my long brown hair cascaded down in waves over my shoulders, I stared at myself in the mirror opposite my bed and just looked at the features everyone thought was so damn beautiful but I hated!
You must be wondering why do I hate my features so much? Well... My mother is blonde and 5 ft 10, with straight hair, blue eyes and pink pouty lips, she looks like a greek goddess. My dad, he's 6 ft with black hair and blue eyes, my brother is a mix of both of them with his jet black hair and striking blue eyes, he has the most perfect lips and as future Alpha you can imagine how the girls swoon for him. Me on the other hand, I am well liked and respected but I don't look anything like them, I am 5 ft 5, I have brown eyes and where my mom has an hour glass, I'm more bottom heavy with my b cup breasts.
I kick off the beautiful purple sheets and swing my legs off the bed. My brother and I always got a long really well but it's been two years and I am the loneliest person you will ever meet.
My door swings open and in walks Emma, our omega. She has been taking care of me since I was a little girl. "Good morning Olivia," she sings in her sweet voice, she has always done it since I was little and it always used to get a giggle out of me in the mornings but now it was just a smile, "are you ready for school today?" She asked ignoring my over all glumness, "no," I said as I stood up and looked for something to wear in my closet, she sighed, "you can't be this moody everyday, life is going to get better around here, you'll see!" I couldn't smile at her words, last nights dinner coming back to me...
~~~
Knives and forks scraped against plates as the three of us sat at dinner. "Damien returns tomorrow," announced my father, not even looking up. I felt my fingers increase with sweat, my mother looked agitated, "I thought we agreed that he would return after Olivia leaves," commented my mother putting down her knife and fork, "leave?" I questioned and it was like they both had noticed me for the first time, my father cleared his throat uncomfortably, "yes. You will be leaving to a new pack, we will marry you off for a better alliance," he noted casually then went back to shovelling spaghetti and meatballs down his throat. I suppressed the urge to get up and scream and throw everything up in the air. That would just make them angry, so I continued to eat my dinner silently.

"Olivia, I heard what happened last night," said Emma, I finally pulled out an old Avenged Sevenfold t-shirt and a pair of black skinny legs, "if you heard then surely you must understand." I felt tired, my parents have been like this for a long time but I only really noticed it two years ago, after he left. "Your brother is coming back, maybe he will put a stop to this," said Emma as she made my bed, I scoffed, "as if, he only cares about himself and his whores! He's just like the rest of them!" I exclaimed and I heard Emma sigh, she knew to leave it when I got heated about my family situation. "I'm going to go shower," I said, not meeting her eyes, "okay, I will bring breakfast upstairs today, would you like anything special?" She asked and I looked at her, a smile creeping up my face, "maybe just crackers and cheese," she smiled at that and nodded. Crackers and cheese was my favorite snack and when I was little, there was a point where it was all I ate. I let Emmas words play over in my head, maybe Damien would set things right.
Damien POV:"What?" I froze, "I-I-" I couldn't find the words and she moved back against the tub, her cheeks now tinted with a light blush of pink. "I turned eighteen today, and I scented you when you arrived and-" She was falling over her words to explain. I reached towards her, holding her shoulders for comfort and to stop her. "My head is spinning with questions, I have a mate," I said and watched her face fall, "it's a long story." Her back straightened and I don't think it was her intention to thrust her breasts out towards me. My wolf stirred again. "You have a mate..." She trailed off, her eyes darting between my eyes, trying to read something in me. "I don't understand it either." I sighed and sat back, "so are you going to reject me? Am I supposed to reject you?" I let go of her to drag my hands through my hair, "I don't know." I looked up at her and decided she deserved honesty. And so I told her. I told her the entirety of the story, about Olivia and how she wasn't my siste
Damien POV:I woke up to the smell of sandalwood, wafting through my room from the partly open door. I wasn't sure I had left it open. I groaned standing up and entering the bathroom, where I started to fill the copper tub. I watched as the water splashed and filled the bottom of the tub, when someone cleared their throat behind me. "Excuse me," said a cool voice, and her scent hit me like a slap to the face. Honeysuckle. I looked at the wide eyed beauty, her eyes were a deep shade of brown, and her skin was coppery with freckles all over. "Who are you?" I asked, "Arla," she said, my wolf was awake now and I could feel him clawing to the surface. Arla took a step towards me, her honeysuckle scent wrapping me in a soft cocoon which was soothing in its own way. I sighed, and she bent over to close the tap to the tub that was overflowing. How did I not notice that? She stood up, her beautiful hands touching my chest and sending sparks through me. She stared into my eyes, not looking away
Elouan POV:She was unabashedly drunk, and now it would be way easier to ply her for information. "So, your name?" I asked, refilling the jug, "Olivia," she grimaced as she watched me drink my wine and begrudgingly brought her own glass to her lips. We were six for six. "And how did you end up here in these lands?" I asked, she leaned back against her chair, her head hanging backwards. I knew the heat was making her feel more drunk, and I watched as her dark hair twirled and fell across her shoulders, drawing my eyes to the buds on her chest. I averted my gaze. Focus. "My father dumped me here." I frowned, "how did he get in?" I asked, she waved her hands like a wild chicken getting ready for flight, "with magic, he's a God." I narrowed my eyes, did I give her too much alcohol? As if in response she pushed the glass towards me with the tips of her fingers, and I poured her another. "So your father is some type of king?" I asked, trying to remember if there was any mention of kings in
Olivia POV:My fingers grazed the soft fabric beneath me and I realized I was hot, on the verge of overheating. I kicked off the heavy blankets and glanced at the source of light and heat in the room. It was a magnificent fireplace with a stone mantle carved with bears. "Finally awake," said the savage bear that helped me. I cast him an irritated look, "disturbing me once more on your master's orders," I mocked and he just shrugged. "You accepted the sanctuary so he won't harm you if that's what you're frightened of," my cheeks heated at his insinuation that I was afraid of him — them. And he smirked at me, as he read my emotions like an open book. "Would you like supper?" He asked, before I could give him a verbal lashing. And in response my stomach growled, betraying me. "My high lord has said that if you wish to return to the wolf territory he will gladly assist you." I scoffed, and averted my gaze to flames licking the mantle seductively. I would stare into the fire for eternity t
Dimitri POV: The dark doors swung open almost falling of its hinges, as I stared at the shocked faces of the Alpha and Luna that had once promised me their daughter for the sake of safety. They were in the middle of breakfast, Luna's hold on her knife only tightened as the shock faded to fear. "How did you enter our lands!?" Demanded the Alpha, and I scoffed, "if anyone is going to be asking questions, it will be me, but to answer you, there is no treaty between us since," and I dragged my eyes towards the blonde Luna who looked like she wanted to kill me, "you broke the sacred laws of the covenant. You gave me someone else." I could feel the bitterness rising in my chest, and forging itself into blood lust. I wanted their heads. The alpha cleared his throat, "we have no idea what you are talking about." I could see the unease in his eyes, and I could see the slight tremble in his bottom lip. "More lies?" I asked, "don't you remember the price of a broken covenant?" I asked, playing
Damien POV: We had been running and trying to make it through for a week, and now that we were finally here, I couldn't help but feel like this was some kind of fever dream. The priestesses all wore white cotton dresses that were pinned to their left shoulder with identical sapphire encrusted moon brooches. "This is the temple?" I asked in awe, and Dahlia nodded, "yes, it was built where the moon goddess was reincarnated centuries ago." I let out an unmanly gasp, "reincarnated? But that's not true is it?" I asked, she started to walk towards the temple, "could be, considering the ground is sacred and nothing with bad intentions can walk here. It's absolutely safe." I was speechless as I followed Dahlia up the white stone steps, the priestesses that walked past were like tendrils on incense flitting about gracefully. It didn't seem real at all. "High Priestess," said Dahlia falling to her knees. "Princess of Flowers," she said in a way of greeting. I watched Dahlia smile as she ro
Olivia POV:I sat beneath the great oak, its ancient branches stretching wide above me like a silent guardian, leaves whispering softly as the night wind passed through them. The sky overhead was a deep velvet black, scattered with stars that seemed too distant, too indifferent. I hugged my knees t
Olivia POVI didn’t know when standing so close to him had become dangerous. Dimitri hadn’t touched me again—not properly—but his presence pressed in from all sides, thick and inescapable. I could feel him behind me, feel the heat that shouldn’t exist radiating off his body like a promise my instin
Damien POV:I stumbled out into the cold night. The ice-cold air bit into my lungs, sharp and unforgiving, but it dulled the acid burning through my veins just enough to keep me upright. Frost clung to the stone beneath my boots, crunching with every unsteady step as I dragged myself away from the
Olivia POV:I woke with a strange buzzing in me, around me and without me. I turned to my side and Dimitri was awake, his eyes wide open as he watched me with a look in his eyes that I could not precisely describe. "What?" I murmured, my voice rough with sleep. I reached up, brushing my thumb beneat
