Olivia's POV:
I was born on a moonless night, according to my foster parents. My real parents didn't want me, so they kicked me out, and my foster parents were lucky enough to adopt me. "Who would want a wolfless Omega like you? You have no wolf, and you shouldn't dream big of becoming anything important in this pack," my foster mother, Nancy George, had told me. I was bullied growing up and forbidden from doing anything. However, I overcame all that after I finished my schooling at the pack's high school and set out to apply for an admission form to the pack's university. On this Saturday morning, I decided to inform my foster mother, Nancy, about my interest in gaining admission to the pack's university to study medicine, as I wanted to help the pack members. As a 17-year-old girl, I had seen many of our pack wolves fall sick, and this sparked a desire in me to study medicine to help them. As I woke up in my room on the second wing of the mansion, I breathed out heavily, knowing that I had to try my luck with my foster mother. She could be cruel to me sometimes, as she pampered her own daughter, Emily. But I had to try. It was my only hope and chance of gaining admission to the pack's university, which was expensive. My foster mother, Nancy George, worked as a nurse in the pack's hospital, and her husband, Wren was a lawyer, even though they were delta wolves. They were rich from working and taking care of their two children, Mark and Emily, and they spoiled them. Mark was a 24-year-old guy and hardly at home, but strangely, he had returned home as he was a basketball star player and had his own money. However, he was spoiled and had several girlfriends, whom he often brought home. His mother would never reprimand him for it but would encourage him not to take any of those girls seriously and to wait for his fated mate. However, I couldn't blame Mark; he was rich, thanks to his parents' wealth. The young ladies in our pack, the Star-Field Pack, loved him. As I got out of bed wearing a white dress, I made my way to the living room, seeing that it was already past 8 a.m. The day was bright and sunny on a Saturday morning, and I needed to push my luck. I had no wolf because of my history of being born on a moonless night, so I was like a curse and not fully a werewolf like them. As I approached the living room, walking down the corridor, I heard Emily's excited voice: "Mom, I still cannot believe that Daniel Ryan, the Beta's son, is asking me for a relationship." My heart clenched when I heard Emily say that. Daniel had previously asked me to be his girlfriend, but I told him no. Well, he didn't give me a chance to explain myself as he spat in my face and pushed me to the ground. "Who would want to date a worthless wolf like you? I was only doing you a favor," he spat in front of many of my high school friends. I was so embarrassed, and Emily came rushing over to meet Daniel. She held his hand and told him, "Daniel, you can be my boyfriend and don't waste your time on this bïtch." My heart ached, but I pushed the hurt aside. They were good for each other, I thought, but Daniel peered at me angrily, as he was the Beta's son, and my rejection made him feel bad. But I tried to avoid him. After all, he was not a student from my set. He had only come to the school for his younger sister's graduation certificate. Shutting my eyes at the painful memories, I clenched my fist and moved into the living room. The air thickened at the sight of me, and the family at the dining table stopped eating as they sensed my presence. "Good morning," I greeted them with a forced smile. "Mm. Morning, what do you want here?" Nancy asked as she picked up a glass of water and drank. She sat beside her husband, while her son and daughter sat across from her. Seeing their eyes on me, I spluttered but decided to go straight to the point. "Um, aunt, I want to further my education at the university." "Hahaha!" laughed Nancy as she peered at me. She wore a blue nightdress and was fair and beautiful for her age. "Why should you further your education? You're wolfless, and you don't have to think of going to the university. You should serve as our maid as repayment for all the money we spent on feeding you up to this size. Isn't that right, honey?" She shifted her gaze to her husband, who nodded. "Yes, my mate is right," declared Mr. Wren George. "Olivia, you are to quit your ambition of going to the university and serve as a cleaner here," he said. "No! It's been my dream to create medicine to help our pack members become better. Please," I knelt before my foster parents, as I was grateful they adopted me and fed me. But I had to further my education. Emily rose from her dining chair, as she wore a white nightdress. "You bïtch! Didn't you hear Mom say that you are not going to the university? You're to become a servant here in our home and clean the house. Got that!" She smacked me across my left cheek and sent me falling to the ground. "That's enough, Emily!" yelled Mark, his icy voice making his sister jump as she turned to look at him. "Mark, are you taking this bïtch's side over me, your sister? Mom, Dad, Mark is favoring Olivia!" Emily cried and pointed at me. The atmosphere in the dining room became thick as my foster parents looked at Mark suspiciously and asked him, "What has come over you, Mark? How can you defend that worthless girl? We only adopted Olivia to give Emily a younger sister, and since Emily doesn't want Olivia anymore, you are not to favor Olivia or see her as your sister either. Now, apologize to Emily!" declared Mr. Wren George. Mark peered at his parents' faces. His jaw clenched as he rose to his feet. "Mom, Dad, you both are being unjust. I cannot sit here and watch you bully Olivia just because she doesn't have a wolf. If you guys don't want her presence anymore, take her back to the orphanage home. I am out of here." Mark walked away from the dining room without sparing a glance at me, and my jaw dropped at his blunt words to his parents. "Mark! Mark! Come back here!" His parents tried calling him, but he had already left the house; the sound of his car starting in the garage filled the air as he drove off. "You slụt! What did you do to possess my only son?!" Mrs. Nancy yelled as she rushed toward me and descended on me in the living room. Her fist connected to my face as she smacked me continuously until I fainted.Olivia's POV:"Mark, where are you?" I heard Mr. Wren's voice boom over the call. He didn't appreciate me calling him Dad—a constant reminder that he was not my real father, even though he had adopted me alongside his wife."Dad, I am in the hospital," Mark replied, his voice calm as he ran a hand over his short black wavy hair."Why are you in the hospital? I hope it's not because of Olivia that you went there. Your mother spoke about Olivia waking up today," Mr. Wren asked, and Mark hummed."Yes, Dad. I had to come and check on Olivia because she is my sister, and I was the one who brought her to the hospital for admission," he said, as I finished my ice cream and licked my lips.Mark looked at me with his shining yellow eyes, and our gazes locked, but I swiftly lowered my head, feeling my heart thudding faster in my chest.Why do I feel this way? Why am I so uncomfortable around Mark?"Is there anything going on between you and Olivia, Mark? Why do you seem to care so much about he
Olivia's POV:I had woken up from my afternoon nap when the hospital room door swung open."Who is there?" I sat up on the bed, feeling a bit better after waking up from my sleep. My headache had also lessened. However, my eyes widened in shock when I saw Mark return to the room. His yellow eyes met my blue eyes, locking with them, and I became so nervous and lowered my head."Hi, how are you doing?" Mark asked, his voice soft as he walked up to the hospital bed to meet me.Before I could respond, the hospital room door burst open again, and Dr. Sam entered and peered at us."What do you want, Doctor?" Mark asked, before I could. His voice was laced with irritation as he peered at Dr. Sam's face coldly."I should be the one asking you, Mark. You came here uninvited, and I need to keep watch to ensure that you are not doing anything to harm my patient," Dr. Sam replied bluntly, and my eyes widened in shock."How can I hurt Olivia? She is my sister, and it's my duty to protect her!" Mar
Mark's POV:Olivia was absentmindedly dressing in her room, so I hurriedly slipped out after seeing her náked. Thankfully, she didn't participate in any pack's activity because she did not have a wolf. Also, she has never celebrated her birthday before, as we only assumed her age. Mom and Dad didn't know who Olivia's real parents were. Except for the fact that she was dumped in a basket in front of the pack's orphanage home.I felt a pressing desire to protect Olivia, to claim her as mine. And I believe maybe that was why my parents had adopted her.Looking away from Emily's stern face, I smiled at Ava and said, "I came to shop for my lunch.""That's fine, Mark. I'm sorry that I missed coming to watch your basketball game against the Red Ballers. I was busy in class and I couldn't miss it," she said, her hand reaching out to touch my chiseled chest as she bit her bottom lip seductively.Stepping away from Ava's touch, I replied, "It's nothing that you should worry about. It's just a f
Mark's POV:"Wait, Mark! Where are you rushing to? We want to have a little celebration party for winning against the Red Ballers now, and yet, you're in a hurry. Is there something that you're hiding from us?" Daniel asked, moving forward to meet me. His gaze fixed on me coldly as he smirked.I didn't like how Daniel Ryan pointed out his questions, drawing the attention of our colleagues."It's personal. And I do not need to tell you," I replied, my voice calm, my eyes meeting Daniel's gaze. He was angry because Olivia rejected his advance toward her before he settled for Emily. How was that my fault?"Don't lie to us, Mark!" Daniel yelled, his eyes shooting daggers at me. "If at all you want to lie, you should have a little respect for Alpha Bryan!""Let him go, Daniel. I have no interest in what Mark wants to go and do. And since he said it's personal, you don't have to pick on him," Bryan chimed in, his voice gentle and trying to settle the rift between Daniel and me."Daniel, Bry
Olivia's POV:The sound of Mark's phone ringing broke the awkward silence, and he said, "I have to go now, Olivia. Take care."Mark darted out of the room, and I breathed out heavily, feeling exhausted. A nurse arrived with a health worker who served me breakfast as I saw that it was past 11 a.m.It was a plate of custard and two bean cakes."How do you feel?" the female nurse asked me with a friendly smile on her pretty brown face, and I saw her resemblance to Dr. Sam. Also, she resembled Erica Robin, my schoolmate."I am fine," I said, my voice calm and she nodded with a smile, as she was tall, chubby, and had long brown thick hair. She packed it in a ponytail, wearing a white nurse cap on her head."Alright. Take care of yourself. I'm Nurse Hazel Owen. Dr. Sam's elder sister. I'm married with two kids," she introduced herself with a soft voice, and I could feel my heart flutter at her words."Nice to meet you, Nurse Hazel," I replied, peering at her beautiful face. As I wondered wh
Olivia's POV:I swear I saw the look of desire cross Mark's eyes, as his lips parted to say something, but the door to my hospital room burst open and my foster mother, Nancy George, walked in, accompanied by her daughter, Emily.Their eyes locked on Mark and me, who were so close together on my bed.Oh no! Not again, I pondered, as I could feel my heart beating loudly in my chest.To my shock, Nancy didn't scream at me like I had expected her to do. And I remember Dr. Sam's warning to Mark that he would have my foster mother arrested for my sake. But that didn't stop her from peering at me contemptuously."What's going on here, Mark? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the basketball field, preparing for your match for today?" asked Nancy, as she peered at her son angrily."Good morning, Mom. I already called my coach and he said the match will not start until 12 p.m. today," Mark replied with a calm voice, but his mother frowned."Mmm. So why are you here to check on Olivia? You s
