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.
Chapter Twenty-Seven (Chrisitian POV) I am supposed to meet up with Ireland and Oliver in a little bit. I was a little surprised when they asked me to speak to them in a non formal manner. I still feel guilt but I feel even more guilt over what happened a couple of days ago. I had been trying to fight the increased arousal and the calling to her wolf. I just needed to finish my shift at the bar and then I could go home and lock myself in and take care of myself. It was closing time when I was called to the store room by Kathy, a waitress and she wolf that I had become friends with in the last two months. She said she needed help switching the Keg for tomorrow. When I walked back there she was lying naked in the middle of the floor on the blanket. My need to mate took over and I took her several times throughout the night. When I
Chapter Twenty Eight (Christian POV) It’s been four months since I met my parents and siblings. I learned my name was Christian Liam. My mom had always called me Liam. There had been a few tense days as my brother Franklin thought I was here to take the Alpha position as he had trained for that since he was little. He was still young, only 15 the age of Wilder. When I made it clear to him and my father that I was already Alpha of my own pack and didn’t want to take over Howler Pack the tension left. My dad was not upset; he actually thought it was impressive I have built my own pack. The pack house at Golden moon was almost completely done. My family had helped me and it had been a bonding experience for me and my father as well as his pack that would come and help. As far as K
Chapter Twenty-Nine(Christian POV)“Lex?” I ask questioningly as the alcohol induced fog is leaving my mind. I look at him as I feel Kathy slip her lips from my dick. I had been so deep in my fantasy of Olivia’s mouth pleasuring me that I hadn’t heard the door. It wasn’t until I felt a small startling shift in part of myself that holds loyalty to my pack that I snapped my eyes open. Kathy was quickly throwing my shirt on and turned her attention to Lex.“Beta Lex I have heard great things about you.” She extends her hand.“Luna.” Lex dips his head but doesn’t take her hand. She may not notice but I do at the disgust in his voice. She lets out a giggle and for some reason it cre
Chapter Thirty (Bradley POV) Goddess this has been the worst month of my life. I have utterly failed to protect those I love. Being rogue has been awful seeing my people scatter in all different directions not knowing how to help them. My grandfather took as many as he could without causing issues with the hunters. I try to rally for help but as soon as I step on the territory as a rogue I am run off before I get a chance to explain. My pack is shattered. How could one person destroy 3 packs effortlessly? We put up a good fight but in the end he had spent too much time with us and knew too much about how we operate. I have no other choice but to come here for help from the last person she would want me to come to. “Bradley?” “Beta” I sta
Chapter Thirty One (Olivia POV) I am sitting here on this dirty damp floor in this dark cell trying to block out the crying of those around me. I hope as many people that could have gotten away and are safe. I am so tired but so scared to go to sleep, to live it all again to lose them all again. I don’t know how many hours or days I have been awake but it is taking all my energy to keep my eyes open. I never knew that eyelids could feel like they weighed so much. I feel them closing so I attempt to blink rapidly focusing on the dim light bulb down the hall willing to trick my mind and eyes into thinking they have been close. Black, hazy yellow, Black, hazy yellow, black, black then bright light. I blink my eyes open as a sharp pain hits my blood stream “Xavier!” I call ou
Chapter Thirty Two (Christian POV) ***The night Lex and pack members arrived*** I am lying in my bed just staring at the ceiling. I can’t bear to close my eyes only to see the vision of her whimpering and drawing in closer to that mutt at the sight of me. I feel a sense of panic rise through my pack link. I drag myself out of bed so that I can go talk to Lex as trying to reach my pack members through mindlink is a jumbled mess. Just as I go to slide on my shoes I double over in excruciating pain the screams escaping my lips. I can’t move, the pain doesn’t stop I begin clawing at my chest. Tears fill my eyes but not from the pain from the realization that she isn’t keeping this from me anymore and more than that she felt this too many times and worse because of who she is.
Chapter Thirty Three (Olivia POV) It’s been just shy of two months and not much has changed really. Well except that Chrisitian inflicts pain on me less and when he does it ends quickly. Today started like all the others I am brought in front of the pack. Those loyal to Xavier shout things at me calling me horrible names and occasionally throw things. Those loyal to me and my family put their heads down and don’t make eye contact. I get strapped to the pole by a collar and forced down onto all fours and around what I think it’s around lunch time as the sun is beating down on me. Even with the weather becoming slightly cooler the sun is still unrelenting on my flesh. One of my young pack members is tasked with bringing me lunch. All those that are loyal to my husband are well fed all my pack struggle and are lucky to get scraps. W
Chapter Thirty Four (Christian POV) My blood is running cold. It is my worst nightmare. The thing that made me turn coward and run away from my mate for the first time. I turn my eyes toward Xavier’s voice and see him looking up at us from the bed between the legs of the unknown shewolf his lips glistening with her juices, his fingers still inside her. She turns her head quickly away from us to look at the opposite wall but I see the tears on her cheeks. Bile again rises in my throat and I am in an internal battle with King, reminding him that we have to do this to save our mate in the end. He nods his head dejectedly but I feel him move toward the back of my mind distancing himself from what is about to transpire. “I got her ready for you. Let’s see who is truly the strongest.” His
