Olivia's POV
“Whoops!” I yelped from my dream and held my head as I felt it splitting of morning headache. I tried to raise myself from the bed and I did, trying to adhere to the pain I was feeling upstairs.
Right when I was sitting comfortably on the bed, my head resting on the headboard of my bed, the event of yesterday started flashing through my mind and I remembered what I did in my drunken state.
“No, no, not that moment,” I groan and whine to myself. What have I done? What the hell did I do?” I questioned myself as I remembered how I sneered at Luca and his brothers while my Mom tried stopping me. I'm barely setting out to adjust to my new life as royalty, and now I would have to deal with the embarrassment. Surely, those ingrates wouldn't let me off.
I was still contemplating how to deal with them when a knock came on my door and I smelled the familiar scent of yesterday, which happened to be that of the maid. I let out a heavy sigh and told her to come in.
My door was pushed open in no time and she trotted in. “I was asked to come to dress you up for school, princess,” the maid announced, her head lowered in respect. I snorted, remembering my admission had been taken care of, and I had to be in school.
The most frustrating part was that I was attending the same school with the triplets, which was a bit annoying. I have to see them every single day. I felt pissed.
All my complaints were in vain as the maid started bringing out all the things I would be needing for school. She urged me to go take my bath and after struggling my ass out, I finally did the girl stuff and came out to wear my clothes.
She dolled me up like the princess I have become, then she arranged my school bag before taking her leave, not after telling me not to be late for breakfast.
My eyes roamed over my room, and it landed on the locket my father gave to me. I hurried to where it sat and picked it up. The only thing I had with me that had my father's memory. It was a locket that contains a picture of myself when I was a kid; a picture I had taken with my dad after leaving fifth grade and the next side was a pic of me, my dad, and my mother.
I used my fingertip to rub the surface of the locket and recalled how everything was when my father was still alive. Father was part of the pack's soldiers, who would go out to fight wars for the pack. Unfortunately, he went to war that fateful day and never returned. I was broken and torn, and it took a while before I was able to recover.
A drop of tear slipped down my eyes and I used the back of my palm to clean it off. Before I put down my hand, my eyes checked the watch, and it was almost time to leave for school. I have spent my time thinking about my Dad, and I missed my breakfast.
With one glance at my room again, I ran out of it to meet the triplets outside. When I got out, I saw them ready to leave for school. “Don't be anxious. Don't be scared, you can face them,” I told myself and took slow strides to them.
Just when I was a meter from them, a girl came into view. I saw her call upon them and waved her hands, which they returned with beautiful smiles, and I guess she must be someone closer to them. I remembered Henry telling me about a girl named Hailey, the Lycan King's right-hand man's daughter, and how close she was to them. He said she's sassy and malicious, which I could see in the girl. Too saucy for my liking.
It was too late to turn back, so I had to face them all. When I got to them, they all turned to me and I watched their smiles fade away, replacing it with hate. I didn't mind, I wouldn't let them put me down, all because I was a lowborn.
“Wow, the low-born princess is here,” she uttered and let out a sinister laugh.
I ignored her and faced the triplet, I bowed my head in greeting. When I raised my head, I discovered they had all thrown their gaze away, not ready to accept my greeting.
“What are you doing here?” she inquired, but I gave no response, which I knew didn't satisfy her because she walked to me and stood majestically in front of me. “I don't like you,” she taunted, and I almost sneered. Like I care. “Please do well to stay away from me and the triplets. Seeing you is like a creepy insect crawling on my skin,” she bellowed, and I felt like punching her face. What audacity she got.
The triplets joined her in laughter, and all I did was watch them. Of course, they were senseless, arguing with them wouldn't be too good.
When they were done poking fun at me, I watched them move to the car available and entered it. Since it was the same car I was told by the maid would convey us to school, I climbed onto it, but then I felt a hand on my shoulder, and it pushed me backward. It was Hailey.
“We're sorry. Lowborn who are poverty-stricken aren't allowed to enter into a car with us,” she stated and closed the car door, chuckling to herself.
I stood with disguise rising in me, my wolf yearning to come out to tear her into pieces, but I needed to calm myself down. There was surely going to be a day when I had to take my revenge.
I looked all around the pack house and I saw I was left alone. “Ungrateful kids!" I snapped at them in my inner self as I decided to find my way to the school.
I accepted the darkness that filled me up.The pain in Lucien’s eyes when I floated away caused me to rage, he didn’t deserve to mourn me. He had to pay but who would ever teach him that lesson.For so long, all I did was rage and kept moving in the darkness.Was the afterlife supposed to be this way, empty and filled with my pain!One problem was that I just couldn’t remember how I had gotten here and for how longI've been here or how much more I was going to be here but I had to get out of here. I couldn't stay here anymore. The actions that led me here are vague in my memory, I died.I died in the hands of the man that said he loved me…the man that supposedly cared.My legs gave way for me and I collapsed on the floor tired and frustrated. It was too dark in here and I couldn't see anything. I was supposed to get out of here? Back home did anyone even miss me?My child!!!There was no way I was going to let him have her.Was this how the afterlife was designed to look?I couldn’
OLIVIA'S POV.The past three years had not been a not so easy journey for me. I had to leave the pack to birth my child due to the fact that I couldn't bear to face the embarrassment and shame that was associated with having a child out of wedlock. After leaving leaving the pack to give birth, I had sought solitude in a remote cabin deep in the woods, far away from the life I had known. Lucien had been the father of my child, a secret that I had kept hidden from even my own family.I had needed time to regain my sense of self, to come to terms with the conflicting emotions that had swirled around me. Being away from the pack had allowed me to heal, but it had also been a lonely and challenging path. Lucien's support had made it less lonely, but it could only go so far. I had to deal with the rest of the same by myself.As I cradled our child in my arms, I gazed out of the cabin's window. I had given birth to a beautiful, precious life, but it had come at the cost of leaving behind the
Marcus POVWhen I was about to go bed tonight and Elina joked about leaving me behind someday just because I didn't offer her a piece of my dessert seemed like a joke to me but as I held her lifeless body in my arms I couldn't help but blame myself for being so stupid. It all started when I got a distress signal from the head guard at the weak spit of our forte and I dismissed it thinking it was the usual alarm when they saw a wild animal but I was wrong, there was tons of things I was wrong about that night.I was also wrong about Lucien, he wasn't my brother no, he was the cruel bastard who took away my mate and soul away from me. I couldn't help but feel nothing at first but then got hit by a huge wave of excruciatingly painful pain and tears couldn't alleviate it. Elina gave her life for me and died in my arms right before me and I couldn't do anything to save her life. I had promised her eternity yet I couldn't guarantee few years for herHer once tender and warm hands now felt c
FlashbackLucien's POVMy lips curled into a wicked smile as I watched the soldiers prepare their weapons and sharpen their swords. A soldier unsheathed his sword and it shone brightly more than the others and I was instantly attracted to it, I signalled for him to come and when he did I gently patted his shoulders and spoke with a loud voice."Whoever manages to kill a hundred men of our enemies I will not only give him a sword made of pure gold but also anything he wants!" I declared.They all cheered and howled loudly, I chuckled seeing their enthusiasm to destroy what was once my pride but I needed to weed out the weeds before they sprout more than usual. Damon strode in fully clad in his armor and arched his eyebrow seeing the men were in high spirits, I tilted my head slightly and smiled."What's up with them?" He asked in more of a whisper."You can ask them yourself, I have them a little bit of a morale. Whoever kills the most will get a price from me." I narrated.He frowned
Olivia’s POV"I'll get the orange juice." I volunteered and reached for the fridge. I took out the jug of orange juice and took it to the dining room, dropped it on the table and went back to the kitchen to get cups. As I was about to reach for the cups in the cupboard they were kept I suddenly felt dizzy.I shook my head to shake off the feeling and my vision cleared once more. I returned the cups to the dining table and the pancakes were already served, Riana couldn't wait to eat as I hungrily devoured my own portion after they said the grace.They gossiped over the meal and Deborah told them of the hysterical patient that had been at the ward who wouldn't stop asking for his mommy all through the night. The man was thirty-five years old and he still cried to be given a lollipop and also requested for his mom's presence. The three ladies laughed at this as well and then they ran out of orange juice.I once again offered to get it and went to the fridge to get an anatomy jug of ju
Olivia's POV“All this while I’ve been sick like you know. I just want to settle some things in the Pack and make sure I’ve handled some things before you come home with our baby. ” Lucien said, looking at me with a very frank look on his face.That gave me the hint that whatever he wanted to say must be so important.My mind was quite unsettled because I didn’t know for sure if he was all better now or he was hiding it from me.“So are you better now or is that what you wanted to tell me?” I walked searching deeply into his eyes.I knew the type of person he was and he would do anything just to make sure I don’t worry about him. That was the whole reason he brought me here and I didn’t want to make things harder for him so I didn’t object.Here it was more peaceful and I had to live among humans but it wasn’t so hard to do with the people I had around. Even if I didn’t tell Lucien about the hee friends I had because he didn’t want to take any chances, I was being careful myself.“I’m
