Olivia’s POV
Even though I did not want to bargain with this witch. As Alpha King, Gabriel wanted to make sure that no more wolves would suffer the same fate as Mara and Reese. “What is the origin os the poison?” Gabriel demanded. Alicia looked over to Conan and he tried to free himself from Herold’s grip, but he could not. “Conan and I went hiking years ago, and I found a vine of beautiful flowers. I found out that it is called Wisteria. It is not poisonous to humans, but after mixing it with Deadly Nightshade that I got before going back to Herold’s pack, I could make my poison.”“Why?” Alpha Herold questioned.Alicia looked at him I could see her features darken at this point. “You choose some rogue ragged she-wolf over me and I knew I could not poison her because she never took anything from me. So I started to the poison her brother and his wolf. I was sneaking it into his food and drink when I could. Since he got regular hospital viOlivia’s POVI could not tell how much of a relief it was, no longer having to worry about Alicia and her plotting ways. Now that the threat of Alicia and Conan is over, I can get back to aid sick wolves thorough the charity. Through the funding and aid of the Royal Hospital, both Reese and Mara were able to make speedy recoveries.I was told that both of them would be leaving the care of the hospital in a matter of weeks. I was so happy that I started to making a room for Reese at my apartment. Celine was ecstatic to meet my little brother, because she had considered me family.I was going to thank Eugene personally. However, his orderlies told me that he locked himself in the research labs. He started mass producing the antibodies and antidotes just in case there were other cases of Alicia’s poisoning spree. I was glad that I was not the only throwing themselves into their work.Celine had convinced me to get from in front of my laptop and go sh
Olivia’s POV“My love, is it true?” Gabriel asked. I sighed at the sadness in his voice. I knew I would not be able to keep the charade up for long. Now that Alicia was found out nad dead, there was no reason to.For the first time since my death, I unlocked the mindlink between Gabriel and I. I showed him everything.“Yes Alpha King, it is true. Everything that I open to you is the truth. The former queen luna perished at the same time I did. She had given up on everything while I still fought. The Moon Goddess granted me a second chance nad she put my soul and wolf in this body. I am sorry that I deceive you for so long.” I bowed in front of the wolf, hoping that he would show me that same mercy that he showed Conan. A quick and painless death.He slowly walked over to me and grabbed my chin, lifting my gaze to his face.“Do not bow to me, love.” Gabriel stated.“Why? I deceived you for so long.” I cried.“No matter who you are, I
Third Person POVI looked him over in amazement. He wore a navy blue suit with a black dress suit paired with black dress shoes. He was putting on his watch when I had finished putting on my stud earrings.Gabriel walked over to me and pulled my hair out of the way to clasp a necklace gently on my skin. “Perfect.” He said as he stepped away from me.“Now, if you are ready, the helicopter will be taking us to the destination.”“Where are we headed?” I asked.“To conduct some business and get you away from prying eyes,” he said as he pulled me into his body.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Third Person POVThe helicopter had taken several hours before Olivia could see the destination from the sky. She was in amazement at everything she saw from above. Alpha Herold never took her on the trips away and now that she thought about it show could not think of the last time he went to an away trip for Alphas.When the helicopter landed, Gabriel
Third Person POVAfter Herold left the banquet, there was a hole in his heart that he knew he could never mend. He could not get the image of Olivia and Gabriel arm and arm at the banquet.If only we could have been that happy back then.While Herold was away, he made sure that his Beta would handle his affairs with the pack. He was aiding Ramon to his new station as Alpha. Alpha Alpha Ramon surprised him that the wolf announced he would take Mara as his Luna when she fully recovered.What if I had pledged my devotion to Olivia like that in her former life?Ramon stated to Herold during training that Conan had owed Mara for all the misfortune that he had put her through. Alpha Ramon wanted to make amends for the former alpha’s betrayal. This made Herold more determined to win Olivia over.We made sure that Alicia and Conan paid for their crimes, but Olivia still has not forgiven me.He felt that since he aired out her secret,
Olivia’s POVI would be lying if I said that the tension between Gabriel and I demised. If anything, we were slowly heating up with every touch and kiss. After my confirmation with Herold, I sort comfort in Gabriel’s arms.When I told him what happened, I was happy to see that Gabriel did not express any forms of anger or jealousy. As we made it back to the bed after another dinner, Gabriel helped me out of my dress.He began to kiss my shoulders and back as he undid the zipper on the back of my dress. His heat left shivers down my spine in the wake of his touch. I moan as he reached inside the front of my dress and grazed my panties with his knuckles.I was a little worried. I felt my past was too unbearable. But Gabriel said that he felt it was these experiences that had made me so strong and beautiful. This time, I took the initiative and kissed Gabriel.Gabriel let go of my dress, letting it fall to my feet. He picked me up and dropped me on the
Olivia’s POVI don’t know how long I had been unconscious, but when I came to the zooming lights that passed overhead gave me indication that I had been in this area before. I saw several houses I had passed during times that Reese and I walked together. I even recognized a restaurant or two that I would go to when I was picking Herold up some food.How many meals had I cooked for Harold here, only to have them turn at my face?Herold?Then it sunk in; the events of a few hours ago flashed in my mind. Herold had kidnapped me. He was the one that messaged me for attention before I left the hospital. He cornered me by the car, but I was unsure how he knocked me out. As I made an attempt to unlock the door, I noticed I was having trouble holding up my wrist.I glanced down at my hands to see that not only were they handcuffed, but someone also handcuffed them to the steering wheel. At least he gave me the courtesy and left my legs and feet unbound. Part
Olivia’s POVHerold knew that I only desired to make money for the charities, so it came as a shock to me that in the coming days his lawyer contacted me stating that the Alpha was transferring all of his assets over in my name. Or at least the name I was publicly going as.“All you have to do is a agree to the transfer and I will wire everything to your account after the call.”I thought about all the businesses that Herold conducted over the years and how fortunate he had been. How he never once spent a dime on me except when I asked for help with Reese’s treatments. I sighed into the speaker of the phone that sat on my desk.“I will agree to Alpha Herold’s transferring of compensation for two conditions. One, there is enough left to keep his pack thriving. And two, I will agree if he never shows himself in my presence again.”There was a brief pause before the lawyer came back to.“I will make sure he is aware and when he agrees, th
Olivia’s POVI would be lying if I said that what Gabriel had told me was weighing heavily on my heart and mind. Even though he never gave into temptations of being with another woman, he did not fully commit to his marriage with Rebecca. But he was fully committed to my happiness and being with me.It unnerved me. So much so that I did not see the man bump into me. I thought I would fall to the ground, but strong hands caught me at my waist. Aa I pushed back the curls out of my face to see the man that had aided me, I saw eyes of sadness and frail.“Herold?”I saw his Adam’s apple bob while he contemplated answering me.“It is good to see to my Queen,” he said nonchalantly.”I tried to keep my composure in the situation, knowing that anyone could see us and get the wrong idea.“I am glad that you are doing alright.” I smiled. I requested we sit at a restaurant and talk for a while. Gabriel would be in another state discussing polic
