LOGINCrystal’s POVHonestly, I wish Olivia wasn’t taken and nothing went wrong during this trip.It was going smoothly before Crusher disrupted the peace and orderliness that was in existence.Chaos always had a way of changing an environment that basked in peace and solace into a total disaster.He didn’t just cause chaos, but he also took Olivia along, practically abducting her all because of his obsession.It was quite obvious he was obsessed with her. Everything he did centered and revolved around her, he knew holding the hostage would catch her attention and used them as his bait to abduct her successfully.Kieran and his men were quite wrong about him. Killing Olivia would make his plan sloppy and go get away, he’d need to be discreet with his movements to avoid being tracked.“What’s wrong?” I hea
Crystal’s POVThis definitely has to be a joke.Or maybe Kieran and his men are trying to play a prank on me. It was quite obvious Sir Philippe hasn’t quite gotten over my last joke at the meeting we had last week.The office was quiet and needed a little bit of drama. Unfortunately for me, I took it upon myself to stir a reaction from some of my staff. Some took it lightly and played along, while the others weren’t quite on board with the joke.The joke was betting on who was the office clown and most of the people chose him for some reason. He happened to be around that day because he’s hardly at the office. His excuses are always about how he has to stay with his family and sort out some errands. Totally understandable.“No, that isn’t possible. Are you joking with me?” I demanded. It was getting awkward and I could feel the tension building u
Crystal’s POV “What was that?” Kieran demanded.“What was what?” I retorted back at him. “You know what you did, Lyra. We don’t have to make a big deal out of this.” “Honestly, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Do you mind explaining? Maybe I'll be able to understand what you’re talking about.” I teased a little bit. He was stressed and being a little tease isn’t the best form of stress relief but at the same time, it makes him a little bit softer.“Lyra, you almost made that captain suspicious of us.” “What? Why would he suspect us? We literally have no idea where Crusher might be?” I said. “You walked out on me while I was talking, I’d say it was a bit rude too. Don’t you think so?” He added, crossing his arms around his chest.I let out a soft chuckle. “It’s not rude Kieran, brush it off.”“Do you two enjoy leaving everyone in confusion or what?” We both heard a voice yell behind us. It was Sir Philippe and one of the crew members, they both looked so stressed and exha
Crystal POVNo one responded to my statement.It’s quite the hitch, I’d say, because everyone thought they were ready for the storm because we survived the first one. No one wants to go slow on a ship; we want it swift and heading to our destination and back.I’m tired of the stops. I want to return to looking at the charts on the stock market and not staring at a compass held by a captain of a ship.If this was part of the deal initially, trust me, I wouldn’t have involved Olivia in this. But now that she’s in this, she’s even chosen to go deeper and not return to being a famous writer. She wants to live in a land where they grow good food on water and make rum from corn.Alpha Malone walked us back to our ship, and seeing Olivia in new robes that made her feel like royalty, I knew she wanted this type of life. People bowed as she passed; seeing her close to the alpha, they knew she was the new Luna of the pack."I still think you're making a mistake," I whispered as we stood away fr
Crystal POVI wondered why he looked at me before returning his attention back to the arena. I mean, there’s nothing other than a warning. He wanted me to stay off Crusher because he knows that I might get to uncover a lot of secrets.Crusher has become a person of interest, and with this threat, he doesn’t know that he just made me want to get closer to the truth.“This is advice, there’s a huge difference between the two. Just take my advice and continue on with your journey, get to meet Alpha Jayden, and return back to your lives. The world out here isn’t for young people like you.” He said it like he was trying to have me convinced, so let me pretend to be.I turned my eyes back to the fight and saw Crusher tossing Laris to the other stone wall. Crusher had Laris’s blood all over his body, but Laris only had like three successful attacks on Crusher since the inception of the fight.Laris took another opportunity and then dug his knee through his groin. He tried to use his claw, bu
Crystal POVThe cheers that erupted outside shook the walls of the ship.Olivia and I exchanged glances.“They’re already gathering at the arena,” she muttered.I walked toward the door before pausing. “If you truly decide to stay, promise me something.”“What?”“Don’t lose yourself in this place.”Olivia smiled softly. “Only if you promise to stay alive.”I nodded before leaving the cabin.We got out of the cabin and went to the arena. Everyone was getting ready for the fight because the stakes were high. Either Crusher loses his fight, or Alpha Malone loses the family relative connected to his late wife.The atmosphere was different, and I loved it. She chose to be his breeder in exchange for the title of Luna. She’s always wanted to be like me and have a place to rule as well, and here she has the opportunity. I love it for her.The massive pit where Alpha Kieran fought him before, leading him into the sea, was quite the sight, I’d not deny. Besides, seeing that vultures would retu
Crystal's POVJust who the hell is this Lyra?And how is it possible that everyone can't tell that I'm an entirely different person from her?Can I really be her doppelganger, or what in the next level bullshit is this?I squeeze my eyes shut, taking a really deep breath to summon whatever last con
Crystal POV “This line holds the water supply to the pack, but I’ve heard that there’s a pack trying to dig up gold, and in that case, it could contaminate our water supply and leave the pack on the verge of a pandemic.” His father showed the parcel of land on the map, which was the problem of the
Crystal's POV"And by the way, it's Kieran. No need to be so formal now." He adds with a teasing wink.I want to die. My face is a ball of flames. I swallow hard, my heart pounding so violently against my ribcage I'm afraid it might burst out.Am I perhaps ovulating? Or why the hell is my body rea
Crystal's POVOh. My. Goddess.The world just fucking stops spinning. Time stops. My breath stops.I blink. Then blink again, but he's still right there on the seat, looking no less god-like than he did that night, with one exception—now he looks a whole lot scarier.There's this scowl on his sexy
