OLIVE
My eyes flicked opened and I sat up. It was morning already and I could tell that from the ray of light passing through the opening of the curtains on the window. I picked up my phone to check the time and I realized it's past breakfast time. I wondered why no one woke me up. Maybe Nolan asked them not to. I stood to do my morning business and then got dressed in simple shorts and a shirt. I left the room in search of the rest. I went to Nolan's room first but it was locked. I headed for Nigel's room but it was also locked. Bella's and Ella's rooms were locked also. U became a bit worried they must have left me to attend lectures or went to the office. I had wondered why they will want to leave without me. They had never done that before. Not even when we weren't this close. Why will they want to do that now that things seem to be working out well between us?. I was already jumping to conclusion that they did not want me with them."You shouldn't jump into conclusionNOLANAs we got closer to their supposed hideout, I could feel my heart beating fast. This was my first mission with people considered to be this brutal. I might have been considered as ruthless too which I know I am but dealing with people from another hemisphere who are banned and considered to be wicked needs courage. I stared out through the window of the car, all I could see were trees and thick bushes. I sighed. Everywhere looks so quiet and peaceful. Who could have imagined a peaceful place like this could harbor notorious gangs from the northern hemisphere. I could only hear the chirping of birds. The car suddenly stopped, jolting me out of my thought. I stared at Martin. "Why the sudden stop?" I asked"We are closer to their hideout. We will need to walk the rest to avoid raising suspicious" he answered"That's a good idea," I thought. It's a good thing he knew we shouldn't create suspicion. I sighed and opened the door."You should wear your mas
OLIVEI walked down the stairs, my hand moving across the handrail of the stairs. My eyes were red from the sleepless night and constant tears. My head was banging so hard I could feel I might collapse very soon. I couldn't stop worrying about Nolan. Bella and Ella had tried to cheer me up but with Nolan's absence, nothing could cheer me up. It's been a day and Nolan is not back. I couldn't help but think something bad had happened to him and as much as I was assured he is fine and will be home soon, it was difficult to believe them. I dragged my already tired body to a nearby stool and sat down."Are you ok, ma'am?" One of the guards asked. I nodded and smiled slightly. "You don't look ok, ma'am. You need some rest""I-i am fine. Thank you"Duncan walked into the dining room. "Olive, look at you. You look horrible"I sighed. "Any news yet?. Any news that can cheer me up?"He walked closer to me, placed his hand on my shoulder, and patted me. "He will b
NOLANI opened my eyes wondering where I was. Everything in the room seems strange. The last thing I remembered was falling after being stabbed. And it was in the middle of a thick bush and not on a cozy bed. I could perceive Olive's perfume and I knew immediately that I was back home. The room was becoming familiar too. How did I get into my room? I thought. Did someone bring me back? I mean Martin, did he bring me back?. Why...Olive stood up from the bed, jolting back to reality. I held her hand when I realized she was about to leave. I could feel her hand, shaking vigorously. I knew she was so angry but why I couldn't tell. "Olive," I called. "It's good to see you again"She sat beside me and held my hand. "It's nice to see you too. I'm so happy you're back. I thought I have lost you". She was crying and I wondered why. Did she miss me so badly?. Or she thought something bad must have happened to me?I smiled at her. "I thought I will never see you again too.
OLIVEIt's been a week since Nolan was brought back and he had been recuperating faster than expected. He can now walk a distance on his own. I made sure I spent quality time with him just in case he needed anything. Bella, Nigel, and Ella were available too and they kept teasing me about how I had cried and refused to eat while he was away.Nolan teased me too. He claimed I was in love with him and wasn't ready to accept the hard truth. He said he was ready to wait until I pick up the courage to say it. Though he might not be able to wait for long. All I did was laugh. He might be right about me being in love with him. He might be right I wasn't ready to tell him how I feel. But that's because I wanted him to get well and return to be his usual self. I hate to see him confined to that bed. I hate to see him being supported before he could move. All I wanted for him was a quick recovery so we could go out to the mall again. So we could go to the cinema. So we could visit
NOLANAfter Olive ran off because she kissed me, Nigel walked in. He was grinning and I knew immediately that Bella had told him what had happened. "Is it true?" He asked, still grinning"What are you talking about?" I asked, feigning ignoranceHe winked at me. "The kiss. You did not tell me you both are having a thing now""We aren't a thing yet. Did Bella tell you that?"He chuckled and sat down beside me. "Did you finally tell her how you feel?. Did she tell you how she feels too?. I heard she kissed you first and then when she was about to pull away, you pulled her back. You..."I groaned. "Hey!. Can you stop that? I can't believe Bella told you all that"He frowned. "You haven't answered my question"I rolled my eyes. "I don't owe you an answer to any question""Are you shy?" He asked"Hey, I'm not shy""It seems you are". I wanted to say something but my phone rang. I checked the caller and it was Martin. I stared at Nigel
OLIVEI was furious that Nolan lied to me. That he kept me in the dark and made a fool of me. That he made me fall in love with him twice, not knowing he was the same. I had thought I was a confused person. I had thought I was the weird one. The one who got mated to two people who are both alphas. One gentle, and the other ruthless. I had thought I was the strange one who had fallen in love with two alpha. I had had sleepless nights wondering why I loved the ruthless alpha as well as Nolan.I had thought something was wrong with me. I thought if I tell it out to someone, they will see me as the strange one. They will tell me I was sick and confused. But who would have believed that Nolan was the ruthless alpha?. He had no single trait I could think of that is the same as the ruthless alpha. Everything about him seems too gentle to be ruthless."Was he the ruthless alpha or he is just playing tricks on me?" I thought. Is there something I have been missing out on?.
NOLANI have been restless since Olive found out about my real identity. And though I said I wasn't going to tell her anything because I can't tell her my reason for hiding my identity, but will wait until she is ready to talk, I felt I had chosen the wrong option. I felt telling her the truth will have been the best option to choose but that will put her in danger. That put the rest in danger too. They will become my weakness just like the parent. I was worried after I tell her, I will want to let my guards down. And when I do, it will be the end of me.I couldn't trust her. Trusting people had been a difficult thing for me. Looking into what had happened to my parents who had lost their lives because they trusted too much and also thinking about how I had been betrayed twice, trusting has become an issue. There was no way I would tell her the trust. And there was no way I would accept being the ruthless alpha.I had come up with a perfect thing to say. There wasn't
OLIVENolan's words kept ringing in my hear. "She wants to leave. Let her go!!!". All I wanted was for him to tell me to stay back. I was ready to wait until he is ready to tell me why. I was ready to stand by him. I was ready to stay by his side but he told me to leave if I want to. He cared less about my feeling. I thought he loved me. I thought when he told me back then, I was his mate, he did that because he loves me. I thought things were going on we'll between us.As I dragged my bag out of the gate, I hoped he would run after me and hold me back but instead, he stopped the rest from running after me. He stopped me from making me stay back. I had thought saying I was leaving will make him have a change of mind. If I wanted to leave, I would have left right away. I would not have let the rest know about my leaving. I won't have stayed back a bit, hoping when he finally shows up, he will tell me not to leave.I walked a distance until a saw a bus station. I ordere
