MasukOlivia's povElian's hand wrapped around me as we slept on the bed together, it was normal for him to do.The difference was, I don't feel that same affection I used to back when we were together.Before Elena showed up, he made it clear in all aspects that he still wants me and wants to be my mateThings were just different, like he was doing it because he feels sorry or that he owes it to me to be niceI don't want a relationship that isn't based on genuine feelings.“You haven't been sleeping.” He mumbled into my ear from behind.I let out a gentle gasp, how did he know?My back was to him and he could still tell.I did not reply, I closed my eyes and tried to force some sleep into my body“Tell me, is something on your mind?”His voice was low but persistent.My eyes flew open when he asked.“Nothing, really. I just slept too much in the afternoon, there was nothing for me to do, and I was feeling weak so I just slept.”“Are things good between you and Elena?”Now, why would he br
Olivia's pov.“So, Elena really chose you as my monitor?” I said with so much excitement in my voiceSeth was in my room, and he just stood there like a statue as he relayed everything to meYou might be wondering why Seth is playing both sides.He isn't? Seth worked for Oliver a long time ago, in fact, he was indebted to Oliver for helping him pay off his family's debt and freed them from becoming slavesSince then, Seth has been like a loyal dog.Oliver let him go, but we knew that if we were ever in need of his service.He would show up in a heartbeat.How did he come to be one of Elian's newly recruited men?I reached out to him and told him to apply.His outer modest and simple nature made Elian handpick him.I wasn't so sure if he'd come in handy until he told me that Elena asked him to follow my every move.If she had picked someone else, I might have gotten into trouble.Seth's real job was to feed me on every information, everything that Elian was getting himself intoBecaus
Elena's pov.The glow of light in Oliver's eyes as I made that suggestion cannot be misread by anyone.He made it so obvious that I knew this was going to be exactly as I imagined it to be.Vera had suggested coming with me on this visit.I refused, he would be more open if it was only me around.Plus, Vera can help Seth keep watching Olivia.In case she was doing anything strange, she'd give me a call.“Wow, Alpha Elena, we can do something more interesting than just walking around the house. I assure you, it's not as splendid as you think.”Well, that sucks, I wasn't expecting him to say that.I thought he'd be more thrilled to take me on a tour.Rich people like to show off their houses and probably every art collection they haveThat way he'd just tell me some important information on Olivia, like why she's really back with ElianFor some reasons, I can’t shake off that feeling that she has something evil up her dirty sleevesMy eyes looked down at my feet, somewhat disappointed b
Oliver's pov.I made sure I supervised the servants on the cleaning of the house personally.Nothing must go wrong.Olivia, she really did it, I knew that she'd find a way around it. I was just not expecting it to be soonI swiped a finger on the surface of one of the ornaments in the living room.My finger was coated with dust, the muscles on my face tightened at onceThey were lacking off because I wasn't being strict with them“Hey, who was supposed to clean this up?It's still dusty,”One of them ran towards me and started brushing over it gently with a feather-like brush.“Are you kidding me? Get a rag or something, I want it to be spotless.” I barked in his faceHis legs wobbled as he ran to fetch the rag.I watched him wipe over it aggressively until I could view my face on it“That's better” The maids were busy making the best set of delicacies for Alpha Elena's arrival.I just want everything to be perfect, After her brawl with Olivia, when she nearly killed Olivia.I didn'
Elena's pov.“It turns out that Elian saw through our plans Or did you think that Cory told him?” I asked Vera.She shook her head really quick“Cory would never do such, especially when I am involved.”I don't know what to think about that, Cory was loyal as fuck to Elian.He must have known that Elian would not punish Vera, then told him about it.Olivia wants to take my brother away from me, I won't allow herIt was as if Vera read my mind as she said.“Why don't you try getting close to Oliver, you know she never liked the two of you together, it might actually trigger her.”That was a brilliant idea, but, Oliver.He has romantic interest in me, how would that work.Especially as Alpha North was back in the picture.If there's one thing that North was famous for, it's his jealous personality.He could get into it big time with Oliver.“I know what you are thinking about it, Elena. Alpha North doesn't have to know about it. It's not like you are into Oliver, you just want to use hi
Olivia's pov.I have been sitting across from Leila for the past fifteen minutes and she has not said a single word to meInstead, she busied herself with the food she ordered immediately after I arrived.It's like.she has not been eating well.Most of her bones were too obvious and her cheek bones were standing out more than usual.I was patient enough to let her chow down on the plate of food.This particular restaurant was chosen by me.A place where I know that Elian or any of my family would not be coming to for that dayI had to lie to Elian that I want to see my dad, so he doesn't grow any suspicions.I was really happy that he believed me when Elena and I had that issue.Leila was behaving like someone who has lost her sanity.She burped and wiped her mouth with a napkin.Which was unlike her“I see that staying with the rogues have made you lose your manners.” I eyed herShe tickled her teeth with a finger.“I'd take that as a compliment, thank you. And you should not talk ab
