Olivia's POV

“Jeremy!!” I screamed out in rage, pushed Simeon off me, and stormed to the scared kid on the bed.

“Don’t you ever mention that name again, do you hear me?!” He flinched, closing his ears.

“Olivia.” Simeon called me, his tone hard and stiff. He took my hand and pulled me off Jeremy's front. “You're scaring him.”

I stared at Simeon with large watering eyes. My quivering lips were parted but no words were formed.

My heart was throbbing within me, I heard its drumming and my whole world seemed to have tilted.

“Olivia?” Simeon called again, this time softly as he cupped my face. “You look like you saw a ghost. Poor thing.” He gritted his teeth and kissed my forehead, before pulling me into a tight hug.

“I promise, I'll fix this. Okay?” He whispered to my ear. “Stay calm and sit.”

I nodded my head and he helped me sit on the edge of the bed. Jeremy was still closing his ears as he stared into space, as shaken as I was.

A pang of guilt struck my insides. Was I

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 104

    Olivia's POV I pulled the hem of my dress down and smoothed it over my thighs. The fabric clung to my skin as though trying to prove a point that I could not hide what I had just done, that I had started something that I could not end, that I was treading a dangerous path. My legs trembled a little from the action. It had been five years after all and honestly Damien had made my legs weak literally. However, I refused to let it show — I was not going to give Damien that pleasure. Damien was watching me, but I refused to meet his eyes. Instead I turned my attention to my hair, trying to get it to its former state before our rendezvous. That done, I adjusted the strap on my shoulder, not because it needed fixing, but because I needed something to do with my hands. He only watched me quietly as I fumbled with my clothes trying desperately to get rid of any indication of what had happened just now. “What does this make us?” he asked me in a voice that told me he was scared to even ask

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 103

    Simeon's POVMy heart had to be on a marathon as it raced through the entire day. I could not focus at the Council meeting, my Beta was not with me, my Luna had gone off to a work that I was not sure she would return, everything was falling apart. I felt like I had pushed myself to the edge of a precipice and there was no one there to save me from falling.“The matter on ground is about your heir. What do you intend to do about your heir?” asked one of the councilmen, prompting me to come out of my reverie.“I have a son, his name is Jeremy,” I said, my voice reverberating round the room. I had had this conversation with my council several times and they were still adamant at the issue of my heir. I had told them time without number that I was not going to budge on this matter and that was not going to happen this time.I saw them look among themselves awkwardly.“In terms of biology, Jeremy…”“A lot of monarchs adopt children and it has never been a problem. Jeremy was not just adopt

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 102

    Olivia’s POVI was going to repay Simeon in his own coin by sleeping with his worst adversary. He had done it to me and so I saw no reason why I should not pursue revenge this way. Besides, it would be like killing two birds with one stone. I had never gotten revenge on Brielle for taking Damien away from me and since the two were still together (as far as I knew), it was the perfect opportunity to get back at her for what she had done. I was going to sleep with Simeon and thus cheat on my husband and with that determination, I stepped out of the carriage. I saw Damien standing outside the carriage, he looked like he had been waiting for me. I flashed him a warm smile which I knew he found unusual by the expression on his face. “Damien, you look quite handsome this morning,” I said to him. When we had parted ways, I had not been speaking to him and here I was hoping to charm him with my smile. I understood how that could be confusing for him. “Uhm… I don't understand,” he said, h

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 101

    Olivia's POV The ride to the war college was a quiet one. I saw the many questions written expressly on my son's face but he asked nothing, he knew the answers already and I knew that he feared that if I said them out loud it would make it all real. There was one thing however that I wanted to clarify, one thing that I needed to know. And that was if Jeremy had heard the part about his biological father. But I could not ask him directly, I had to find a way around it. “You keep looking at my wrist,” I said, I had been watching him throughout the ride so far and he had not taken his eyes off my wrist. I knew the question on his mind was if Simeon had really hurt me or if Simeon had been right and it had just been a mistake. “Are you in a lot of pain, mum?” he asked me, my heart broke at the pity he felt for me in his voice. “No, sweetheart, not at all,” I said with a smile that I hoped reached my eyes. “Did dad do it?” he asked quietly. I was at a crossroads. I could tell him th

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 100

    Olivia's POV The morning was cool, the morning breeze bore none of the heat and anguish that burned within me. It had been three days since Prinsca's pregnancy revelation and in those three days I had barely eaten or slept. I had lost my appetite to live let alone eat. The only thing that kept me going was Jeremy. I turned away from the view and moved toward my dresser. My uniform hung neatly beside it, pressed and folded, ready for the day. Today I had a lecture on tactical misdirection, and I would be prepared. I had to take refuge in my work, I needed something to distract me from the knot in my chest. Behind me, Mirabel, my maid, moved with soft precision. She said nothing, only came forward with the deep navy dress I wore to teach. It was my favourite outfit for the war college, it made me look serious and that was how I wanted my students to view me. I slipped out of my robe and into the blue dress. There was a knock—no, not a knock. The door was opened without an invitation

  • The Alpha’s Banished Mate   Chapter 99

    Simeon's POV My mind was made up. I was going to lie my way out of this situation. I could never admit to sleeping with Prinsca even though we had been at it for five years.I called Olivia's name one more time but she wouldn't answer me, she would not do much as I look back. I understood that she was angry, the only thing left to do was to give her some time to herself. I needed to give her time to realise that her best shot was with me.She couldn't possibly go back to Damien after everything that he had done to her right?Only that I had done the exact same thing to her.But this was different, it had to be. Staying by her side all these years had to count for something.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing about the corridor. The wind was cold against my skin, reminding me that what I had done to Olivia had been heartless and I would never be able to forget it. I was also going to live the rest of my life in regret no matter the decision I made. I could still see the look in Oli
