I ruffled his hair playfully and kissed his head. He seemed brighter today. I did not know what Simeon had done but it had worked. The shadows around his eyes seemed to have disappeared.

“Why don’t you wash up and come down for dinner, huh?” I told him.

“I ate so much today, my stomach is bursting,” he said before bouncing off to have his bath. I only smiled at his statement because I knew that an hour from now he would be requesting even more food.

As I went to the dining area to check if our meal was ready, I met Simeon. He looked exhausted but I could not blame him, a full day with Jeremy could do that to anyone.

“Thank you for today,” I said. In spite of our differences he remained a good father to Jeremy.

“Why thank me? He’s my son,” he said it with an air of possessiveness that betrayed his feelings of insecurity. I did not mind it because I knew it came from a place of love and deep attachment.

I had been right about Jeremy. He came back downstairs with a deep hunger and

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 149

    Olivia's POV He was shocked and so were all the men around him including Damien. He looked at me with eyes that said he did not know what to do. He had been hit by a woman and it was both humiliating and confusing. If I had been Damien, there was no doubt that he would have punched back but I was Olivia and he was confused. He was saved however, by someone who came up to him and whispered something in his ear.He eyed us, clearly displeased by what he had just been told. Then grudgingly, he said, “Prince Orion has been found, there is no need to search.”“We will be filing a complaint to the council informing the council of how you brought your men to raid my pack like they are a gang of thugs,” Damien spat angrily.“I don't think so, there are so many complaints against you, you may not be Alpha here for very long,” he said with a smile that was spiteful.My heart dropped. The moment felt surreal, like the beginning of a nightmare I couldn’t wake from. I looked into his eyes and saw

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 148

    Orion's POV “He's always away,” came my awkward response but it had been the truth. My father was a businessman to the core, it was why our pack was so rich. My father had his faults and I blamed him for mother's death but he was a good Alpha. The well-being of his pack was his utmost concern and he had dedicated his entire life to it just like his father before him and just like I would someday. He was a man who believed in luxury but he had principles too and he cared genuinely about people. He had also taught me to live the same way. Perhaps that was why I had been so terrible at sword practice at seventeen that I had hurt myself with my own blade. My tutors had told my father that I was hopeless in combat.“But he's here in you,” she had said, her eyes fixed on mine.Instinctively, I took a step backward.This was my father's wife and she was once my mother's best friend. I could not do this even if she gave me an invitation to her bosom. It would be the greatest betrayal a son

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 147

    Orion's POVThe truth was that I was scared. I was not sure what scared me more, my stepmother or death or the two.I had faced many terrifying things in my life but nothing ever unsettled me quite the way she did, and that included the time I had been chased by a wild boar.So when I got home I knew that there was only one thing to do — play dumb. There was no other option, I did not think that any other thing would have been acceptable.There was no time to plan, no time to ask for advice from anyone, and definitely no time to escape.She appeared to be buying my act too which was either good or bad. With my stepmother one could never know.“I would not have minded being in charge. I mean, I am to assume his position one day, you know? With his failing health, that could be sooner than we think,” I said to her in the plainest tone I could muster. She did not look too pleased with what I had just said and she expressed this with a smile, “we must not say such things, dear prince.”I

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 146

    Alira’s POVThe stuff of Lengend… Some people called me that.I wondered if this man who was now pacing before me, I wondered if he knew who I really was, if he would tremble in fear. After all, as the rumours went, no one who saw me had ever lived to tell the tale.“You say that your stepson was kidnapped and you suspect Alpha Damien?” he asked me, not quite believing what I had just told him.This was Elder Zigmund. He was considered by most as the highest authority in the council. The others on the council had not been hard to convince. Most had visited Alira and so it was not difficult to convince them, they said it was blackmail but I did not see it that way.I believed it was a necessary tactic. I had worked hard to gain the trust of these men, and now was not the time to let sentiment ruin everything.“That is right,” I said to him in a confident tone.There was no way Orion would return to the pack after the message I had left in his dinner. He had run just like I had told hi

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 145

    Damien's POV I was hurt. My feelings were hurt, deeply. Olivia really sounded like she was over me. She had matured a lot since she had first left my palace or more like run away from here. She looked at me with eyes that told me that she did not trust me. It broke my heart to be looked upon that way but there did not seem to be anything I could do to change how she felt about me.I had wanted to bring up Jeremy. I had wanted to talk about letting him know that I was his father but it did not seem like the right time to bring it up, the problem was that it never felt like the right time.“The guards said I will find you here,” we both turned to see Jeremy bouncing into the room. He looked happy today, like a burden had been lifted from him. I was glad to see him so cheerful. I knew that Simeon's abuse and his consequent kidnap had taken an emotional toll on him.It had been difficult watching him retreat into silence at night, often curled up beside Olivia with his arms tightly wrapp

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 144

    Olivia's POVI had crawled out of that day to meet no one in the study. I forgot about the book for a while too because my life was just more important than some book. The fear of execution had been my greatest nightmare in my childhood. It had been because lots of servants got executed, even those who had been wrongfully accused or just unfortunate to get caught up in a misunderstanding.But curiosity got the best of me and it was not the book this time that led me to the study even though I had told myself that. It was the hidden room in the Alpha's study I was curious about.I returned to the same place I had hidden myself and discovered it was a short corridor that led to another room. I had discovered so many other tunnels and secret passageways and by the time I was twelve, I could disappear for days at a time and no one would miss me.When I turned fourteen, I had a plan to escape the palace but I had fallen in love around that time and soon those plans had faded into the backg
