Chapter Eighteen
(Christian POV)
I get in the car with Wilder, driving as he is still too young to have a license but my mind is in the Jeep with her. Great, now I am jealous of my Beta. He did seem uncomfortable about riding with that she wolf Monica. I saw the way she was looking at him as well, she has to be the mate he said he met. I haven’t talked to him about his plan on how to handle the situation. Hell, I never even told him about my mate's situation even though he is my best friend.
“So Alpha have you ever gone floating down a river before? It is very relaxing and fun.”
I turn my head to glance at Wilder before returning my sight to the road andI answer, “We don’t do this type of stuff in my pack. We focus on training and things
Chapter Nineteen(Olivia POV)“Are you being serious right now Savannah? That worthless bitch can’t even have pups, she is useless. She is ruined. No better than trash. I have no mate.”Loathing that is the only word to express how I feel right now at hearing those words. I feel Liberty forcing me to the back of my own mind and I let her. It only takes a few minutes to knock that bitch out, when I go to approach her to rip her throat out like she deserves he saves her. He saves his fucking whore standing up for her against his own mate. Until that instance I didn’t know it was possible for someone to hate their mate. Wolves aren’t supposed to be able to hate their mates that the moon goddess gives them no matter what they do. There is the ability to be able to forgiv
Chapter Twenty(Olivia POV)It has been 4 months since Christian has left and I have done my best to move on. I know that he has because I felt it just the next day after he was gone. I have not been intimate again with Xavier but that will soon change. The only issue in the last couple of months have been the increase in rogue attacks on the pack. So far there have been only injuries and no casualties. It is like they are feeling out for weakness in our defenses. We have noticed the strain on the faces of our pack members. They need something to celebrate and today’s announcement will give them just that.**Flashback 2 days ago**Xavier has asked me out on a date and I was hesitant to accept, wi
Chapter Twenty-One (Olivia POV) I wake up and reach across the bed to feel Xavier but his side of the bed is cold and empty. I forgot that he had gone with my father and brother to deal with pack business last night and wouldn’t return til this evening. Last night was tough. We had been fighting rogues most of the afternoon and I was exhausted. Just when I fell into bed thinking I would get some rest the pain started. I had been too tired to block it out so I surrendered to it and thankfully it was over soon. I was able to pass out but then it started again but again was over quickly. I hate living with his mark on me and feeling all his intense emotions and I am more than tired of hiding and keeping mine from him when he doesn’t care how he affects me. So I decide to have a li
Chapter Twenty-Two(Christian POV)I put the letter in my pocket and went to my room for some privacy. When I enter however there is Kim lying naked on my bed. I release a growl of frustration. “Kim, what are you doing here?”“Well your uncle thought you could use a distraction before tonight and Savannah is busy at the spa getting ready for you. But Alpha, I am already ready for you.” She spreads her legs and runs her fingers through her pussy lips.“Get out. I don’t need a distraction.”She gets up from the bed and walks toward me. She takes my hand and places it on her pussy. “See Alpha already wet and dripping for you.”
Chapter Twenty-Three (Lex POV) “What do you mean there isn’t going to be a Luna Ceremony Alpha it begins in just over an hour?” I look at Christain confused by his statement. He has had the whole pack having to deal with Savannah's ridiculous demands for a month, now he plans to cancel? “Read this” He hands me a letter that appears to be from his mother. I read it but I am confused. “I’m confused Christian, this doesn’t make sense.” “They weren’t my fucking parents Lex I was born before all this before they took Alpha Luna Ireland because I am older than Olivia. He fucking lied to me my whole life he made me who he wanted me to be. I fucking let him turn me into something, I let him fill my heart with hate and a need
Chapter Twenty-Four (Olivia POV) I am just sitting by the river having watched the sky go dark waiting for word that Xavier has returned. I had heard that my dad and mom had returned but Xavier had stayed behind to do something. All of a sudden a horrible pain erupts in my side and I double over. I lift my shirt and I search for some reason for the pain but see nothing. ‘Mate’ Liberty whimpers ‘mate is hurt.’ Without a second thought I shift and begin running off the territory and mind link Bradley that I am going to Christian something is wrong. I run as fast as Liberty can take me. I have no idea where we are going but Liberty is following instinct and says she is communicating with King and with Bradley’s wolf. I can feel Xavier tryin
Chapter Twenty-Five(Christian POV)I watch Olivia as someone is mindlinking her and I see the devastation as it gains ground across her face. The emotional pain I feel is almost enough to bring me to my knees but it doesn’t because it isn’t mine. That's when I realize that my pack has made it to their land and that Lex has arrived with the letter too. I take a step toward her wanting an opportunity to explain now that we were face to face but she takes a step back. Soon her friend Bradley is standing in front of me growling protectively. It has me fighting every part of me from ripping him to shreds for blocking me from my mate. I turn to see Alpha Luna Ireland staring at me sadly with tears streaking down her face.“Bradley and Mom leave us please.” She squares h
Chapter Twenty Six (Olivia POV) It’s been two months since I left Christian behind me with a new intensity to move on. Christian’s pack has been doing well here and I know that Lex and my parents are in communication with him but they respect my wishes and don’t talk about it in front of me. Lex and Monica even completed their bond and we had their mating ceremony last week. It was beautiful but I could see that Lex missed his Alpha. I understand that when everything is settled they will return to him and that makes me sad because Lex and I have gotten close. He says that it was meant to be as I should have been his Luna. He is fiercely loyal to me and has become friends with mine as well. I miss my friends a bit as it seems Xavier likes to keep me busy and to himself. We are somewhat newly weds I suppose.
