Chapter Seven
(Olivia POV)
I don’t know what he hoped to see when he looked at me but I have my emotions under control and he wasn’t going to see it. A rush of regret slices through my chest. Shit Xavier what did I just do, I hope I can explain it to him. I won’t be in a relationship built with lies and secrets. It would destroy us before we even truly get to begin. As if sensing my need for him I see him crossing the backyard with a blanket in his hands. I shift back from my wolf never breaking stride. As I make it to him he engulfs me in his arms and wraps the blanket around me from behind. A sob escapes my lip before I can stop it and the feeling of regret that slices through me once again.
“You know when I pictured you naked pressed against me I never imagined
Chapter Eight (Bradley POV) I look over this Alpha Christian as he walks up to the bowling alley with his arms draped around that she-wolf. It really takes everything in me to not tear that asshole apart. He is lucky I didn’t know about him sooner or what he did to my best friend. I am the only one that she has told who he really is and the story of what happened. I may be younger than Olivia and she may not possess as many powers as her mother but I was born to be her protector. I am also half hunter so naturally I have an added threat I am tougher to hurt or kill. Olivia can’t hide her emotions from me. I know where else they show other than her eyes, she shows so much happiness with Xavier but I see the small twinge of pain in her expression when the Alpha Douche Bag walks up with were-bitch in his arms.
Chapter Nine (Christian POV) It’s been about a month since we have been here. The first two weeks they had me lead training to see what our techniques were. I held some of them back not wanting to give our secrets away but still making it challenging. To my surprise my mate kept up showing little to no strain. Then when she took over training it was obvious nothing was held back. The training was challenging to say the least. I was surprised that the Alpha’s or other ranking wolves did not lead the training. Today I am supposed to have a meeting with Alpha Oliver and Ireland to discuss methods to combine both training techniques to one that may be effective for both packs. I honestly don’t give a fuck about anything being effective for the other pack. I have spent my days with Alpha Oliver and to be honest they hav
Chapter Ten- (Olivia POV) I simply get up and excuse myself from the room too embarrassed about what he heard. I have managed to put on a straight face ever since the night I let him see me crumble all that time ago but today he saw my weakness. I feel sick to my stomach as I just let the warm water of my shower wash away the lingering feelings of disappointment. When I finally step out of my shower and wrap my towel around me and step into my room I am stopped dead in my tracks. Sitting on my bed with his elbow on his knees and head in his hand is Christian. He doesn’t look up when I enter the room. I walk in front of him and he grabs my hips and I try to take a step back but he holds me there. “You are good enough.” His voice bar
Chapter Eleven-(Unknown POV)“Yea I got it.”“And you know what to do with it?”“Yes I am not a complete idiot.”“I know but do you know how or when you are going to do it?”“Come on she trusts me I will get it done don’t you trust me?”“You are like a son to me of course I trust you and soon you will take your rightful place.”“About fucking time. See you soon.”(Christian’s POV)
Chapter Twelve (Olivia POV) I have been on the phone several times with my grandma to help me with organizing the Mating Ceremony for the pack members. This is my first time planning one of these events and I am having to continually swallow down my feelings of jealousy. This is not the fault of this couple, it is the fault of my mate. I am done blaming myself. Xavier is away acting as part of the guard as the hierarchy is traveling so he isn’t even here to help distract me from my internal anguish. I never planned on being a Luna or Alpha but I help with the pack when my parents and brother are away. “Is it okay Olivia if we only want to do hamburgers and hotdogs and some sides?” “Erika, it is your ceremony. We will eat and do whatever
Chapter Thirteen (Chrisitan POV) I finally make my way to the pack hospital and when I walk into the waiting room I see it is packed with wolves. What surprises me is among the wolves some of them are from my pack and they look upset. I make my way through the lobby as I see the Alphas and Betas through a little window in the door that leads to the back. I enter through the door and look at those around me. I note that Alpha Luna Ireland is not with the group. “We might find out who he is now. He must have felt the pain through the mark and might come to make sure she is okay. It’s possible his presence might help her.” Alpha Chris says quietly. “Chris she is her mothers daughter she would have kept the pain to herself she wouldn’t
Chapter Fourteen (Olivia POV) It’s been two weeks since I woke up in the hospital bed and I have been finally allowed to return to the pack house. My wounds are all closed up and I am just a little stiff still. I have mostly been staying in the hospital as the pack therapist has been meeting me almost daily. I know I had a slight reaction to Xavier when I first woke up but I will be damned if I let that monster break me. I am stronger than him and the scars he left me. I am stronger then the wounds he inflicted. **Flashback 2 weeks ago** I groan as my eyes open and my whole body literally hurts. I feel like my flesh is on fire and I groan even louder and try to sit up to relieve the pressure from my back. An involuntary sc
Chapter Fifteen (Xavier POV) My friend at the pack clinic had mind linked me that Olivia had been released today. I was eager to see her and waited for her to tell me that she was released but she didn’t. I then waited for her to show up and surprise me when I was on patrol but again she hadn’t so I figured she went home to rest. I couldn’t wait to see her at dinner. I had swore she would be mine since the first time I laid eyes on her when I was just 12 years old. She had been so sweet welcoming me at school and showing me around. She was kind to everyone but I liked to think that her smile was a little wider when smiling at me. That her green eyes brightened just a little at my presence. I had hoped that we would be mates. Then she met hers he marked her and betrayed her and
