view moreAnyone would think that waking up to people screaming their names would get easier since they'd probably wake up to it every day for the rest of their lives.
It didn’t. I would know because I experienced it first-hand and for seventeen years.
“OLIVIA?!”
Seventeen years later and I was still experiencing it.
I stretched my legs and got out of bed. It was a routine I was used to.
They would scream and I would attend to their needs.
I listened for footsteps and immediately heard one. I straightened up and faced the door.
Only a few seconds later did the door open and I was met with my glorious brother's cocky smile. His arms were folded, and an arrogant look shone on his face. His body posture exuded the hatred he felt for me even though I was his sister.
“Breakfast isn’t set and the pack will soon wake.” He continued to stare at me in the most condescending manner I always associated with him.
My anger rose and I restrained it. My anger never did any good.
My back stung, the scars on it a reminder of the punishment I faced for defying him.
He had no manners and I had no strength. But at least he had a title that carried power and I was nothing.
Regardless of what I said, I was on the receiving side of the punishment so my words didn't matter.
“Right away,” I said. He stared at me before walking off. That was his way of reminding me about the punishment I would receive if breakfast was even a minute late. I started moving as soon as I could because if my mom got here, she wouldn’t use words.
I threw on the first clothing my hand landed on and made my way to the kitchen.
Clara, the only person I could call a friend in this entire pack, was already in front of the stove, mixing eggs.
“Hey, Olivia.” She called as a form of greeting. I walked up to her, hugged her, and took the bowl from her.
“Hey, mama. How’s the leg?” I asked, looking at the leg in question.
Clara's left leg got amputated during the last pack's attack.
Surprisingly, my father got the faerie doctor to craft a new one for her. To say Clara and I were surprised would be an understatement since we both knew how cruel my father could be.
Clara had laughed and said it was probably because my father always enjoyed the meals she prepared and didn't want to have another person cook for him. I didn't believe it.
But whatever the reason, Clara and I were grateful to him.
“It’s a bit weird, but it's starting to feel more natural.” She answered, tweaking the leg about a little to prove her point.
“That’s fae magic for you,” I said with a smile.
Clara clicked her tongue, pointing at the eggs. “The Alpha said scrambled eggs, so be sure to use the recipe he likes the most.” She told me and went to get the other meals ready.
I finished up the eggs and started with the bacon.
With the collaboration between Clara and I, we were able to finish breakfast in less than an hour. Good for us since that meant there was no reason for us to get punished early in the morning. But since the day had only just begun, there was a possibility that we could do something that would offend the higher-ups.
If we were really careful though, we weren't supposed to receive any punishments unless the young wolves decided to move mad like they did most of the time.
Clara rang the bell, signaling the servants and they all rushed in.
If I had been the one who rang that bell, the servants would not have arrived at such a short time.
Despite my father being the beta’s assistant and my brother being the deputy general, the servants still showed me no respect. Maybe it was because they knew my family hated me, so when Hannah pushed me aside to grab a tray of bacon, I did not mind.
Clara opened her mouth to speak and I placed a hand on her shoulder. They weren’t worth it.
Besides, reprimanding them didn't mean that they would change. I rolled my eyes when Hannah threw me a snotty glance. Clara tapped me, pointing at a tray of wine.
“Can you help me carry that in?” She asked. "Juan is sick, his mom just called me.”
“Anything for you, Clara,” I told and she gave me a sweet smile.
“You like to sweet talk me, Oivia,” Clara said and her smile turned into a full beam.
“Only because you deserve it,” I said as I picked up the tray. Then I winked at her before I made for the door.
I made my way to the luncheon hall, dropping the tray on an empty spot. Gillian, my brother, picked up one of the glasses without looking at me.
“The siege was successful. We met no difficulties.” My brother told the people on the table.
One wolf in a soldier outfit made a crude comment, launching the table into laughter. I shook my head internally, going to stand by a corner. That was the exact moment the Alpha walked in, along with my father and some other members of the pack. My dad gave me a sparse glance before he went to sit next to the beta. I sighed, looking at a space in the ceiling.
“They made scrambled eggs, your honor.” I didn’t have to look to know it was Kole who had just spoken.
She was the slut males went to when they needed a quick fuck. I just didn’t know the Alpha fucked with her untill now. The Alpha ran a hand down her spine, smiling.
“You told them. For that I am grateful.” He said before moving his hands away.
I must have not masked my disgust in time because the beta was in front of me before I could blink. His eyes were rumored to be ice, but I underestimated their cold gaze. They were like the ice forge frozen on a lake, a little crack and one could sink in, forever lost to the depth of the water it covered. I shivered a little under the cold stare.
“Lift your gown.” He commanded.
"What?" I asked, baffled. I was sure I heard the wrong words from him.
“Lift…up…your…gown.” He repeated, stretching each word more than necessary. I looked at him and saw his eyes daring me to disobey him. I thought about disobeying him, but then I realized that he was the beta, and disobeying an order from the beta might not just end in a punishment. I could lose my life over it. I bit my teeth as I lifted my gown. Those icy eyes dropped to my crotch.
Please don’t touch me. Please don’t touch me. I began to chant in my head.
“Isn’t this your daughter, Ferno?” I heard him ask my father. My eyes snapped to my dad and the look on his face broke my heart.
“She is not mine. She is my cousin's bastard daughter.” My father replied to the beta with a shrug.
The beta cupped my chin and forced me to look at him. “She seems to think differently.” He told my father.
“Do with her what you must.” My dad said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
“Oh, I intend to teach her manners.” The beta responded. The Alpha made a sound with his glass.
“Take her away. Some of us don’t appreciate a show while eating.” The Alpha said as a warning and the omega bursted into laughter.
“Speak for yourself, Kian.” The omega told the Alpha.
“You are welcome to follow them, Zayn.” The Alpha snapped back, but the omega just went on laughing.
The beta chuckled and looked back at me.
“Drop your gown and wait here.” He told me. I schooled my features to reflect nothing of what I felt as he walked back to sit next to the Alpha. Hannah slid up to me and I held in the urge to smack the bitch.
“You are so lucky. I heard the beta has the ultimate dick game.” She told me with a naughty smile and I gave her a blank stare. “You don’t want to fuck the beta?” She sounded baffled, but with Hannah, you never know. I looked away and ran smack into the omega’s stare.
“Can I join though?” He asked me. He said it in a very low voice, but everyone probably heard it with their wolf ears anyway.
"No," I responded in a loud voice, not caring if I got punished for refusing someone of a higher status. Hannah smacked my upper arm.
“Shut up! You are so fucking lucky, girl.” She told me and looked at me like I should be grateful I had two horny wolves who were hoping to get a piece of me on my back.
“You in grey, can I get another plate of bacon?” Gillian held up a plate in Hannah’s direction and she tugged on her gray sash.
“You give me deets later,” Hannah told, before she hurried away.
I rolled my eyes internally as she walked off and I let my gaze drift to the ceiling. These were the times I wish I had my wolf. I could feel her presence and do anything any normal werewolf could, but I had never once heard from her. I wondered why I'd never been able to communicate with my wolf.
The truth was, I didn't know why either. But I knew that my mom hated me for that specifically.
A hand gripped my forearm, sending me out of my thinking zone. I looked at whoever had gripped my arm and saw that it was the omega.
“Come with me.” He said softly. His eyes were warmer than that of the beta, but I wasn’t fooled. The devil lived in the heat too.
“Where’s The beta?” I asked and he just laughed as he pulled me along the hall.
“Eager to fuck him instead?” He finally asked when we were out of the hearing shot of the others.
“I don’t want either of you,” I answered him with little fear.
“You have sass. I like that.” He said and threw me a glance over his shoulder. “I can’t wait to fuck it out of you.” He finished with a smirk.
“If I refuse, isn’t that like rape?” I asked him and he gave me a sly grin.
“We can also knock you out. But trust me, you wouldn’t refuse.” He told me.
Cocky much? I thought. Men like him needed to be taken down a few pages.
He stopped in front of a door and pushed it open. The beta was on the bed, reading a novel.
“She has more sass than you think.” The omega told him immediately we were in.
“I am not surprised. Her eyes hold fire.” He said and looked up from the book he was reading. I shivered again under his gaze. It was like his eyes got colder every time I looked into them.
“She happens to think she doesn’t want to fuck us.” The omega said again.
“Also, not surprised.” The beta said and smiled faintly, giving me a shock.
“I didn’t know you smiled,” I told the beta. The omega laughed, pushing me forward.
“I like your mouth, little one.” The beta cupped my face and I held in the urge to shiver. “You are his daughter, aren’t you?” I nodded and pulled my face out of his grip.
“It is not a big deal,” I told them. I watched as the omega took a seat by the edge of the bed.
“That’s a shame, little one.” He said and I shrugged. I gripped the hem of my gown when the beta came closer.
“We are not going to have sex with you, Olivia. We are going to send you on a little mission.” I blinked at the beta who simply smirked.
“Your father owes us a lot of money, sweetheart.”
The omega nodded in agreement, a sly smile on his face. “Emphasis on a lot of money.” He chuckled.
I shook my head, stepping back. Although my father was a lot of things, I never knew him to be a debtor.
“My father is not a debtor!” I shouted at them both.
The omega winced and patted the space next to him.
“Take a seat, darling. You are going to burst a vessel if you keep doing that.” He told me. I blinked at his gentle tone and warm gaze. Tempting as it was, I ignored his offer.
“How on earth could my father owe you a lot of money?” I asked and the beta laughed, dropping the book in his hands in the process.
“He has a gambling problem,” The omega revealed to me and he chuckled at my large rounded eyes.
I thought about it for a minute and then shrugged the new knowledge about the man away.
Whatever he was, a murderer, a gambler.. It had nothing to do with me.
I looked at the two men in front of me and shrugged again. There was no way I was helping them with anything even if they crawled on their knees to beg.
However, I didn't want to be punished so for courtesy's sake, I asked them how they needed my help.
"What do you want me to do for you both?" I asked them.
“We want you to sneak into his office or his study or wherever he keeps his important stuff and get us some documents.” The beta replied.
“I don’t even know where that is. My brother would have been a better option.” I announced it to them.
Truly, my brother was the better option between both of us. When the omega scoffed and rolled his eyes, I got the idea that they already tried with him and failed.
“Your brother is a loyal asshole and he can’t keep a secret to save his life.” The beta said.
“He can. He is the most trustworthy person I know. He is one of the pack members that holds the family in higher regard than the pack.” I told them.
"Please." The omega pleaded. I shook my head and looked at my feet.
“You can’t trust me with this. If I get caught, my back is going to suffer again.” I told them. My scars twitched as if to remind me of the pains it had suffered in the past and I tried to touch it.
“Take off that gown. Family feuds or not, abuse is not allowed.” The omega said in a lethal voice and I stepped back.
“This is not any of our business, Zayn.” The beta said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
“You know how the last case ended. You can’t tell me you would let a pack member die at the hands of a family again.” The omega shouted at the beta.
“Zayn, we don’t know..” The beta tried to say.
“Fucking take off that gown now, Olivia.” The omega said, cutting into the beta's words.
I was surprised that the omega knew my name. True, they should know the name of everyone in the pack, but since I was absent from the pack most of the time, I didn't expect them to know mine.
When I didn't take off the gown in time, I heard the omega's wolf groaning and the beta warned me about how feral the man's wolf was.
I quickly took off the gown to avoid it being shredded into tiny pieces. I didn't miss the flash of heat in their eyes when they saw my naked breasts but it soon turned into shouts when I turned my back to them. The shouts from the two of them were so loud even I flinched.
“Put the gown back on, Olivia.” The beta said, but I didn’t miss the note of anger in his voice. I put it on, shrugging as I turned to face them.
“It’s not that big of a deal. They barely hurt anymore.” I said with a dismissive tone.
“Olivia, listen to me. Get the documents and come to my cabin. If your father shows up, we are going to get him killed.” Zayn, the omega, told me.
“My mom holds the whip,” I told them in a solemn voice.
“Sarah?” The beta asked. His eyes went a fraction colder and I raised my brows.
“You can't tell me you don't know. It’s obvious to the entire pack that I'm the scapegoat of the pack. The bastard girl who isn't even a complete werewolf.” I watched as Zayn swallowed uncomfortably and tried to say something but I cut him short.
“And that's why I'm here. Because I'm at the end of the food chain. And you know it.” I was not sure where this was coming from since I usually took everything in silence but maybe I had reached my limits.
Even though I acted like it was nothing when I took off my dress, I was terrified they might rape me. Maybe it was because I was a virgin and I was uncomfortable with my nudity. I had the feeling that no matter how many times I had sex, hopefully with someone who would adore me even though it
seemed like an impossible wish, I would never be brave enough to show my scarred body to anyone.
Zayn held the beta by the arm and they went to the corner of the room and began to speak in hushed whispers even my super heightened wolf ears couldn't pick up on their conversations. I gave up on trying to hear them and began to lightly massage my shoulders which were still sore from the recent beating.
“Come stay in my cabin. I promise you'll be safe.” Zayn said a minute later when they were done with their talk.
“Like hell, I would. My father will find me.” I told him.
“He won't think of my cabin. Why would I be hiding you from him?” The omega said in response.
“Why are you even trying to help me?” I asked them with a suspicious look.
“Because you are right. And enough is enough.”
I let them talk me into it. I knew I shouldn't have, but enough was enough and there was only so much that a girl could take.
*Olivia's POV*I sobbed over his still body, feeling a part of me dying. He couldn't be dead. He just couldn't. I wrapped my arms around him, praying to anyone who cared to listen."Please don't take him away from me. I just got him back. I wouldn't let you take him away from me." I buried my nose in his chest, breathing in his scent.I felt something brush my cheek and I lifted my head. A faerie was smiling at me, his eyes friendly. "You must be the mate." I curled my body over Julian's protectively, narrowing my eyes at the intruder.The faerie smiled, shaking his head. His hair fluttered out like water behind him. "I am here to help you, Luna. I saw everything that happened. It went surprisingly well."I stared at him, pulling Julian closer to my chest. "What are you saying?" "I saw everything that could have happened. The different possibilities. This path was surprisingly fortunate."He looked at me and the look on his eyes made me shiver. "Do you wish to know what could have hap
OLIVIA'S POVMy legs moved faster than I thought was possible as I headed to the packhouse, my legs were already sore from the running but this was Julian we were talking about, I couldn't let him get himself killed. He shouldn't have come here in the first place. He had no idea that Leo was an insane person.I forced my worn-out legs to keep moving no matter the pain that shot up through my legs.I breathed in and paused for a moment to catch my breath. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and I wiped them with my sleeve.Moon goddess, please...My feet brushed through the corpses in front of the packhouse.My heart tightened and I look over at their faces, "No, not Julian."The corpses lifeless faces reminded me of the people who I had killed in rage.Memories of how I killed my brother, Gillian also filled my head.I had ripped out his heart with no remorse despite his words.I always blamed him for treating me unkindly, yet I killed him. Wasn't I worse than him?Was this why the m
OLIVIA'S POV."There's one more thing, my lady." The leader said in a serious tone.I lifted my eyes and stared at him in wonder about what else he could want from me."What would that be?" I asked him when he didn't say anything for almost a minute after he had spoken.He got up, came to my side and he began to pace around me. All through his scrutiny, I was very nervous but I tried my best to keep my anxiety down since I didn't want to display fear in the den of the wolves. At last, he stood in front of me and stared directly into my eyes."I can still smell your fear, my lady. Have you forgotten that I am an Alpha wolf? My sense of smell is a lot heightened than that of ordinary werewolves." He told me.When I looked at him in shock, he flashed his teeth before me. I wanted to vobblered him but I held on to my restraint. Gone were the days of mindless killings."You feel like killing me, don't you?" He asked me again with a naughty smile. He didn't wait for my response or my anger
OLIVIA'S POV.The Emerett's people moved out of the cage and I followed them at a safe distance, making sure that none of them spotted me. Ever since Emerett had taken me into his care and he and his people had done nothing but take care of me. Emerett made sure I never packed for a thing even once and his men treated me with respect. Even the books that Emerett never joked about, he had allowed me to borrow them times without numbers.There was however one thing I had noticed about the group led by Emerett ever since I had arrived at the cave. Even though the men were very good werewolves who knew how to hunt for good meat, they always came back with little.Although Emerett had given me a head up about how the other party called White Ice had always stolen the prey his men hunted for and even when I had monitored them and saw how they acted for myself, it had been a little bit hard for me to come up with the perfect plan for Emerett's men to accept me. But now I have the perfect pla
*Julian's POV*I tried not to let my emotions show on my face as I stormed past the gate. Two of the guardsmen were sleeping, immediately getting up when I passed.I was too tired not to stop and scold them. Everytime I closed my eyes or stopped to breathe for even a second, I saw Olivia's face. I kept hearing her voice. She had chosen Vanessa over me. A few werewold kids were playing in the park, some of them stopping bouncing the ball to wave at me. I waved back, faking a wide smile.One of them pointed at their heart, calling out. "Where's Luna?" I bit my lip, shaking my head as I walked away. I knew my people would ask about Olivia, since they were aware I had left to get her back. I sighed, rubbing my forehead. This was going to be a problem. My wolf snorted, rolling his eyes. I ignored him, changing my direction to walk towards my cabin. Hopefully, no one would be there.I swung the door open, trying to ignore the little presence and scent of Olivia that lingered inside. I cu
*Olivia's POV*I stood there waiting for about a minute before Ron came back and the first thing he said when he saw me was. "The dress fits you better. Maria would be thrilled."I assumed Maria was his mate and I nodded at him, lifting the gown so it wouldn't sweep against the floor. I walked behind him, pondering on how exactly to project myself so the clan liked me.I needed their approval to stay here. Ron led me down another staircase and I lifted my eyes to see a spread of them. The pit was dug out like a concert arena. The uplifted part was decorated like a throne and I saw Emerett sitting on the chair. He had his head in his hands, and he only looked up when the whispers started. His eyes widened and he moved to his feet. Ron nodded at me, going to stand in the crowd. I could feel all their eyes on me as I made my way to the stage and I tried to tune out my ears so I wouldn't hear what they were saying.My wolf was more curious and she won this battle."Oh my goodness. She i
*Olivia's POV*Emerett decided to take me around the cave after the mini breakfast in his room. The cave was bigger than I expected, with curtains and mud walls sectioning it into smaller parts.There were a few wolves outside the curtain rooms, watching me with suspicious eyes. I could feel their eyes bore holes into me with every step I took."They are watching me." "They have never seen a wolf like you before. Fear not. They would attack you as long as you stand by me." I looked one in the eye as we passed by her grinding something that looked pink. The coldness in her eyes made me shiver and rub my forearms."They don't take a liking to new people?" Emerett glanced at the woman over his shoulder. "That's just how Edith behaves. She lost her husband to an intruder so she is really suspicious of every new person we bring. She will eventually warm up to you."I sincerely doubted that, but I kept my mouth closed. The cave was huge and it seemed the tour would never end. I took note of
*Olivia's POV*I kept running, feeling the wind rushing in my ears. My wolf was tense, making me run faster than normal. I heard a growl behind me and I made the mistake of looking back. I stumbled over a tree trunk and fell to the floor. "Get her." I heard a voice hiss and I immediately scrambled to my feet. I took on a fighting stance, glaring at them. The one in the middle was staring at me with wide eyes. His eyes were dark, like the night sky when the moon was nowhere to be found. Behind him were at least three more wolves, all wearing the same band around their wrists. I felt a shiver crawl up my spine when I realized what they were. My wolf said it for me, her voice sounding like a growl. "Rouges."The night sky eyed wolf smiled, standing straighter. "You are smart. But I would beg to differ since you are here. What are you doing around our parts?" I kept my eye on him, watching him move around me. "I don't want any trouble."One of the rogues laughed, rolling his eyes. "T
OLIVIA'S POV.I dragged Vanessa's body out of the cabin into the woods, grunting all the way. The tears wouldn't stop flowing from my eyes either at the loss of the woman who had been nothing but a friend and a protector to me. When I finally managed to drag her to the backyard, in the deep of the woods, I was already panting for breath and wishing that some sort of help would arrive for me.When I looked at Vanessa's dead body which was beginning to smell a little, the tears fell even more. They ran down my cheeks in streaks like they were racing for the finishing line that would signify their survival. Perhaps, I should be honest withh myself at the junction where I was now.Vanessa's death had a huge toll on me than I was letting on. It affected me deeper in my spirit than I care to admit to anyone. I have myself a cynical cruel short laughter. Who was I kidding? There was no one to let out my emotions or what I was going through. It was just me, the dead body, the trees, the anima
