Lucinda's words make my blood boil once again. "Just let me out, dude!" I say, starting to lose my patience. Lucinda makes a pitiful face, like she seriously can't do anything to help me. "Lucinda, keep Clara away from this. It's only going to hurt her more. Let me out. I'm the fücking boss of this place!" "Sorry, boss, but you're the one who always says we should do things the right way, no?" she asks, sounding sarcastic and annoying as hell. I have to close my eyes and take a deep breath. I really want to choke this woman and I don’t mean the fun kind of choking. "Clara is lucky I didn't rip your ring off her damn finger. I want her to see this and dump your äss.” I know there's no use fighting her so I just turn my back to her and cover my face, then I keep pacing around the cell trying not to die for ten more minutes, until there are several voices outside and Gerard comes in accompanied by Clara. He’s trying to stop his amused grin as he comes to open my c
{ Olivia } "The witch has arrived, she's ready for the ritual," I tell Daniel and in that same second the witch raises her hand and whacks me in the head, "Auch!" "I already told you I'm not a witch, Doofus," Isabelle complains and I move to the side so she doesn't try to hit me again, while Daniel is still processing what I said. "I'm sorry," I reply with an apologetic smile. Isabelle just rolls her eyes and keeps driving, "Daniel, are you there?" "Olivia, this is complete nonsense. Your mother is going to murder us, your father is going to murder me," he complains and it pisses me off because he can't do this to me just when it's time for the action. Not when I'm so close to achieving what I want: to be free of my feelings for him. "You want to be a part of your son's life, right? Because I don't think that's going to happen if you decide to back out," I blurt out, sounding extremely evil and I know it because Isabelle turns to me with her mouth h
"Uh... what instruments?" Mallory asks, looking extremely confused and earning a tired look from Isabelle. "I texted you what I needed, Mal," she complains, but just shakes her head and heads for the stairs. “Julian, come here, I need your help." Julian nods and follows her to the stairs without taking his eyes off Daniel or turning his back on him until it's necessary to climb the stairs. Mallory looks at Daniel as if she is afraid he’s going to attack her again and grabs her phone. "I have a very important call," she lies in an extremely obvious way with a grimace and almost runs off towards the stairs, leaving me alone with an angry alpha. I know inside me that he would never hurt me, but I still feel incredibly intimidated by his stare that literally won't leave me for a second. "You still have time to stop this, Olivia," he says, catching my attention and forcing me to look at him. Daniel looks incredibly different from the way he normally looks: neat, tidy, untouchable, as
Julian takes over the help for Daniel and I can tell whatever he’s feeling is really bad because he doesn't react in any way to Julian helping him. He doesn’t even seems to notice who is helping him. My stomach clenches with fear that something is really wrong with him. What if he’s sick? What if he dies? Oh, my god. That would be horrible, even as much as I hate him I don't think I could ever get over that. "You're going to help him heal too, aren't you? Like you’re going to help me?" I ask Isabelle as we start walking through the woods, unable to take my eyes off Daniel. I'd like to get closer to be the one to help him but I know there's no point because I can't half-carry him like Julian is doing, so I'm just left to watch him and endure my wolf anxiety for her alpha. ‘I want to die with him’, my wolf pushes at me inside my head and I have to roll my eyes. She’s such a drama queen. ‘Neither of us is going to die, dumb wolf, okay? That’s why I got this witch-heale
{ Daniel } The relief I felt throughout my body and spirit was so immediate and intense that it was almost confusing. I didn't even feel like we were standing in the woods for hours, I totally lost track of time. It felt like someone had been gripping my heart in the tightest fist in the world and suddenly let it go. My chest stopped hurting and my wolf stopped feeling like the worst scum alive. His sudden happiness was even more confusing. Olivia’s words affected me in such a way that my wolf literally wanted to die and wanted to kill me for doing what I did and causing all that pain to our sweet, beautiful omega. That sounds extreme but it's true, he just shut down, he absolutely gave up. But whatever the witch did or said to him helped him feel better so no matter how much I despise her for lending herself to this nonsense, I thank her for not letting me die. Still... I don't feel much difference when it comes to Olivia. I watch her chatting with the witch the whole ti
{ Olivia } Daniel is right about one thing: I chose the worst possible moment to do this damn ritual, even though it was actually an extreme situation caused by the damage to our bond, but my heat is still latent and that's why I still feel the same towards him, that's why I feel like I'm going to explode when I have him touching me again. Hearing that Daniel still thinks about the same memories that have haunted me every day for the past four years makes me feel good. Really good. ‘He should remember me, he should think only of me every second of his life because I am the most important thing to him. Bond or not’, says the most toxic part of my head. That part that wants Daniel to grab me and take advantage of me in every way possible right in this alley like I'm a cheap whöre. But I'm not in full heat. Not anymore. I can take control of my mind and body and stop this. "So you're going to take advantage of me, then?" I ask him as a last resort. Daniel stif
"You couldn't wait more than five minutes before burying your claws into Daniel again?" Clara spits immediately, ready to fight and ruining the nice atmosphere of love that permeated the house when she wasn't around. "Laurie, go up to my room," I order and my baby nods like a good little boy before running up to my room as I asked. I follow him with my eyes until he disappears and then I return my eyes to my sister. I no longer feel like I hate her with all my being. Maybe because Daniel finally broke up with her or maybe because he told me a little bit of the truth or maybe even because I matured in these last twenty minutes. "Clara, dear, please relax before you start screaming like crazy. We can work things out without fighting." "Exactly. What is this about?" my mother asks with a frown. "Daniel broke up with me yesterday because he still wants to be with Olivia, which is perfectly fine," she adds, sounding like perfectly not-fine. Carolina, my mother and Rosie react immediat
I know feeling like this over my ex-secret lover who never even told me ‘I love you’ and then broke my heart horribly is completely stupid but I can't help the way all the air leaves my lungs just because Daniel isn't looking at me. I need his attention on me. I need him to want me. I don’t want to feel this way, but I do. I only react once Harry walks past me and accidentally bumps me so I move along with everyone else to leave the room, feeling offended and hurt. And regretful. That stupid fücking ritual was useless, at least on my part, but Daniel seems to be completely over me. What I wanted was to get over my feelings for Daniel and move on, but hours have passed and I feel exactly the same... in fact, I feel worse. I feel like I truly can't exist without him and my wolf now pines for him even harder than before. That dumb wolf has even more hope about us being together now than ever before. I want a refund. { Daniel } Once I'm left alone with Frank in the room, I
