Olivia's POV.

I woke up to a loud bang on the door. I sat up with a start as I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the sleep in my eyes. My body was still aching, and the bruises still hurt me like a fresh wound. I had cried myself to sleep last night, exhausted from my failed escape attempt.

My heart was pounding as I heard Damien's voice on the other side. "Good morning, Olivia," he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "I hope you had a good night."

My eyes narrowed as I glared at the door. I knew he was just taunting me, enjoying my misery and pain.

"Get up," he ordered. "It's time to do what has to be done."

I threw off the covers and got out of the dark area, my eyes blazing with anger and hate. "You know exactly how my night was," I spat, my voice venomous and loud. "You think you can just use me and discard me like trash? You're heartless, Damien."

Damien's expression remained impassive, but I saw a flicker of something in his eyes. I didn't know what it was, but I knew it wasn't compassion.

"Enough," he said, his voice cold. "Johnson, Thomas, take her to the pack doctor."

The two men stepped forward, their faces expressionless as they grabbed my arms. The pain from the other day hurt me as I groaned. I struggled against them, but they were too strong for me.

 "Please, Damien, don't do this," I begged, my voice cracking with emotion. "I'll do anything, just don't make me do this."

But Damien just turned away, his back to me as he walked out of the room. The men dragged me behind him, through the pack's headquarters, as we passed people who were curious about what was happening. My feet stumbled as I tried to keep up.

At the pack hospital, I was taken to a small room where the pack doctor waited. He was an old man with kind eyes and a gentle face.

"Hello, Olivia," he said, his voice soft. "I'm afraid I'm here to perform a procedure."

I glared at him, my eyes filled with tears. "You're just going to do what Damien says, aren't you?" I accused.

The doctor's expression was sympathetic. "I'm sorry, Olivia. But I have no choice."

As he began to prepare the equipment, I felt a surge of desperation. But then, he whispered to me, "Listen, child, I know what's going on here. I'll pretend to do the procedure, but you need to leave. Now."

My eyes widened in surprise. "Why are you helping me?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

The doctor's eyes met mine, and he whispered back, "My daughter died under similar circumstances. I couldn't save her, but I can save you. Damien doesn't know I have a conscience, but I'm not going to let him take your life."

I nodded, understanding. As the doctor distracted the guards, I slipped out of the room and made a run for the back door.

I moved as quickly as possible, knowing this was my only chance left to run away from Damien and his wicked plot. My heart pounded in my chest.

I could hear the guards shouting behind me, but I didn't look back. I kept running until I was out of the hospital and into the forest.

It wasn't until I was several hundred yards away that the guards realized what had happened. 

They alerted Damien as they couldn’t find Olivia in the hospital, who was furious.

"Find her," he growled, his face twisted with rage. "Bring her back to me." he ordered.

The guards took off after me, but I had a head start. I couldn't take any chances this time; I'd have to use this opportunity or I would be dead. 

Meanwhile, Damien stormed into the hospital,  his eyes blazing with fury. The pack doctor cowered before him, knowing he was in trouble.

"You disobeyed me," Damien spat, his voice ranging in anger. "You were supposed to perform the procedure, not help her escape."I said.”

The doctor tried to apologize, but Damien wasn't interested. He quickly ended the doctor's life, his body crumpling to the ground.

I was still on the run, but they were determined to catch me. Damien would show me no mercy, no quarter. I would pay for my disobedience this time, and he would make sure I never forgot the consequences of crossing him.

I ran as fast as I could until night began to fall, I suddenly lost my way.  My eyes darted to every corner. I froze immediately when a wolf stopped in front of me, his eyes howling brightly at the dark sky. 



My body stiffened, saliva choked my throat, unable to swallow down. I took a shaky step back. The wolf followed.I didn’t have a weapon. I didn’t have the strength to fight. Running was useless, it would catch me in seconds. I was going to die.

The wolf lunged at me, the movement shot past me, a sickening crunch echoed through my body. I gasped stumbling backward as a large figure crashed into the right, taking its disk with brutal force. The struggles were brief and deadly. Sharp claws tore through his flesh. Blood splattered against the ground. One  second, the rogue lay lifeless on the ground. And then the man turned to me.

My breath caught him immediately. He was tall, broad shouldered , chest rising and falling steadily, his golden eyes flicked to me, sharp and assessing. He looked like he belonged in the wild like the forest itself bowed  to his presence. 

“Stay back,” his lips curled slightly. But I didn’t move, I didn’t even flinch at his words. 

He stepped forward, wiping blood from his hand, his gaze never leaving mine. “You’re not from my pack.” 

I swallowed emptiness down my throat, my finger gripping my cloth. I wasn’t sure if I should come clean but with the situation, telling him the truth might as well help the situation. 

“I was banished,” I muttered my voice barely above a whisper. 

His expression darkened slightly. “For what?”

My throat tightened. The shame, the anger, it all came rushing back.“They said I committed treason,” I whispered.

A moment of silence stretched between us before he chuckled, shaking his head. “You don’t look like someone who’d committed treason.” He studied me carefully, as if piecing together my story. “You ran away, didn’t you?”

I stiffened. “I didn’t have a choice.”

Something flickered in his gaze. Understanding? Pity? I couldn’t tell.

“Then you need a new pack,” he said simply.

I frowned. “I don’t want to be a burden…”

“This is my pack.” His voice was firm, leaving no room for argument. “It’s my duty to ensure the safety of anyone standing on my land.”

His eyes locked onto mine. “And I’m not asking, dear stranger. I’m commanding you.” He said.” A breathless chuckle escaped me.

    Olivia’s POV“Are you okay?” Damien asked me as he wiped off the sweat on my forehead. I never knew I was sweating so badly. “Did he hurt you?”“I would never hurt her,” Austin cut in. I opened my eyes slowly and saw him looking at me. “You should be careful with her– Perhaps you are hurting her.”“What are you saying?” Damien growled at him, his brows crossed. His anger was evident as his hands tightened around me. “Why are you here with her in the first place?”The sound of Damien's voice had me thinking twice– if I should tell him all that Austin told me now, it would make him furious and he would rage out his anger on Austin.He might kill Austin tonight if I did that– it would mostly put him in trouble. The council would think that he killed Austin because of the Alpha position and that wasn’t true. I knew my Damien– his temper could cause havoc.“I’m saying if you don’t take care of what you have, you’ll lose it,” Austin said with a grin. “Same way you are about to lose the pack

    Olivia’s POVMy fists balled up as goosepumps popped all over me. I had gone frozen with fear, unable to turn back and see who was behind me. “Hey?” He called again and I flinched. The cold air whipped against my face, sending shivers down my spine. My gaze dropped, I saw the depth of the floor– If I fall from here I won’t make it. I pressed my eyes closed as I muttered a prayer, the next moment– I shot my eyes back open as I looked for what could break the fall.There were a few corridors, if I could hold on to any, I could sustain lesser injuries. I heard his footsteps behind me and then felt his hand on my shoulder and he pushed– what? No. He pulled me. Why was he pulling me back?I thought he would push me off the terrace. “What are you doing?” He asked as I landed on my butt and he held both my hands behind me, stopping me from moving. My brow raised as I wondered why his voice sounded so familiar. “Who are you and what do you want from me?” I asked, struggling to get free fr

    Olivia's POVStaying back in the room in silence was killing me. I needed to know what to say. I gritted my teeth and pulled myself into a sitting position. The paste on my leg was dried up now, I touched it and it didn’t hurt.“That was fast,” I said and then I turned to see the mushroom soup. A small smile played on my lips. “I guess this is medicinal.”My muscles felt stiff as I walked into the bathroom. I took a quick shower and came out in my towel. Damien was gone, he was no longer in the corridor or even in the room to begin with. After throwing on my night-wear, I left the room and went straight to Jeremy’s. Hopefully I would find Damien there and ask him about that call.Jeremy was sleeping in his room, he was snoring lightly just like his father. “Daddy, hold me,” he said in his sleep.My heart ached. That was what he always told Simeon when he was younger. I sat on his bed slowly. “You’ll be fine, baby,” I ran my hand through his hair, softly and careful not to wake him.“

    Damien's POV“What do you want from–” I paused and looked back to see Olivia staring at me through the glass window. She was looking at me, curious to know who it was that I was talking to. I turned away from her and lowered my voice. I couldn’t let her know that I was talking to Simeon.What did he even call me for in the first place? “Hello?” He said from the other end as I went mute. “Simeon, what are you calling me for?” I asked him in a lower voice. “I’ve got some news for you, Damien,” He replied. “Listen well.”Rage formed in my chest as the last word sounded like a command. “How dare you call my line?” I growled at him. “I don’t want to talk to you either, but I have to do that for the sake of my son, Jeremy.”I paused. Thoughts running through my mind in an instant. What about Jeremy? Was he in any sort of danger? I pulled the phone out of my ear and I looked at the unknown number Simeon called me with. Then I recalled what Simeon had called Jeremy– his son?How dare that

    Olivia's POV“Liv?!!” Damien yelled out to me. His voice was an echo at the back of my head.I coughed, trying to lift my head off the floor, the smoke was choking me to death before the fire even came.My heart was heaving, thinking about the last time I touched my son, Jeremy.When last I spent a good time with my family– with Damien. A good time without all these enemies and chaos.I would have to manage whatever memory I had of them, till the end of time.“Liv?” Damien's voice drew closer but my eyes were already closing, only that I saw a hand grabbing fire only to get to me.“Oh my goodness– what happened to you?!!” Damien yelled as he cupped me off the ground. “What happened to you?!” He asked.I shook my head slowly, struggling to stay awake. Until it all went blank.I stirred awake, to the smell of mushroom soup. It wasn't my favorite and I cringed when I turned and saw it smoking on a saucer beside me.“You're awake,” Damien said and I turned to see his figure beside me– my

    Oliver's POV“Prinsca, your threats are flimsy, they do not shake me, do you hear me?” I yelled as I hit a vase and it crashed on the floor, shattering into pieces.Prinsca jumped back, screaming, “You!!”I bit my lips, watching her with keen eyes as she glared at me. This was beginning to feel too real than it was.“Get out of here, Prinsca. You'll never get what you came for,” I backslashed at her.She grinned, a knowing look on her face as though she– had what she came for.“Won't I? She asked, her grin spreading. I swallowed as goosebumps filled my skin.Knowing Prinsca, she was not one to smile for nothing… I asked myself again.Was I being fooled, again?Was I even doing the right thing?Regardless, for the sake of her pup, I had to consider and carry on my act.“Never.” I spat.“Stop me, if you can,” she replied and stormed right past me, shoving me to the side with her shoulder, her other hand under her baby bump.“Where are you going…?” Before I could finish, she flung the do
