LEO'S POV.The moment the witch reminded me that I should alert my guards against the arrival of my brother, I saw reasoning in what she had said. Even though the witch had injured my brother before we took Olivia away from him, the witch had told me that given how strong Julian's wolf was, there was every likelihood that he could wake up. If I still knew about Julian's temperament very well, then he would storm over to this place once he was awake.That wasn't a chance I wanted to take with Julian and I guessed that even the witch didn't want to either. I knew that the witch had only been able to defeat him swiftly because of whatever the powder she had blown at him had contained. If it were to be a normal battle of power, I am sure that the witch would not remain unscathed like she was now. This means no more parading about with her effortless beauty.But still, I wasn't ready to face my brother or the threat he would pose to my survival if he got in successfully. Especially if he
OLIVIA'S POV."What are you doing here, Julian?" I asked him, looking around to be sure that no one was around."Why else would I be here? To rescue you, of course." He said to me like I had asked a silly question.He placed his hands on the bar and tried to get it opened. I cleaned the tears away from my swollen eyes and that other as when I saw that he was completely naked. I screamed in shock and he stopped what he was doing. Because of the internal injuries I had already sustained, I threw up blood and held my stomach to keep myself in check."I'll kill them!" Julian shouted and I whimpered."Why…why are you…naked?" I asked in between breaths.I looked at him again and I saw that the left side of his stomach was very red and still had a slight mark. I began to cry again when I realized that he had been injured with a sword and the wound must have been very deep when he first got it. If it weren't for his wolf strength and the accelerated healing power every werewolf has, I was sur
OLIVIA'S POV"What do you intend to do with the people shouting outside?" Esther asked and Leo let out a scoff."Why should I care? I'm about to become the most powerful in the world!"I simply watched Esther and she caught my gaze. She knew exactly what I wanted.She flickered her finger and a gasp escaped from Julian's lips and I could feel him again. A tear threatened to roll down my cheek but for some reason, it didn't come out.Esther gave me a look. I knew what she meant.I looked at Julian's face and prayed to the moon goddess for his well-being. He shouldn't have come... But I was glad enough that he was safe now."We should leave now," Esther informed and I walked toward her and Leo. I had made up my mind. As long as I went with them, Julian would be spared. Esther already proved it by reviving him. It wouldn't be fair if I asked for more.Esther waved her fingers in front of her and a beam of light appeared.She stepped into it first and disappeared into the beam of light. I
ALPHA KIAN'S POVTwo days ago at the party**I was having a drink over the counter when I suddenly sensed one of my people. Her scent filled my nostrils strong and hard which made me instinctively look for the scent and it led me to the door where Olivia was standing, her arm linked with an Alpha I recognized as Julian, Alpha Leo's brother.It took me everything to keep from scoffing.She was in a purple regal dress with her hair and makeup properly done. To be fair, she looked gorgeous.My eyes scooted to the mark right next to her collarbone. She was marked.A scoff escaped from my lips this time."Alpha," I heard a voice I recognized all too well. My beta."My brother, isn't that the woman you wanted to fuck?"I saw my beta as a brother even though he wasn't too sure about that.He followed my gaze and it landed on Olivia. I looked at his face to see his expression and as expected, he looked surprised.I smirked at his reaction and he looked at me with wide eyes. "Isn't that Olivia
ALPHA KIAN POVI looked into Ferno's eyes.It was enough.I couldn't let a monster like him tag around my beta for too long. My beta was soft even though he looked icy and he liked Ferno too, so I was going to help him.I channeled my wolf and let him take over. My teeth switched to that of my wolf and I snapped Ferno's neck before he could see me coming.His blood splattered over my mouth and face and I deepened my teeth into the veins of his neck. Then, he let out a final gasp and I let go of his neck and he dropped to the floor, lifeless. I took back control and watched Gillian sob as he neared his dead father. I understood if he loathed me. I wiped my lips and turned around to leave when I saw my beta staring at me with glazed eyes."Sorry," I blurted. When it came to my beta I was sometimes tongue-tied. Out of everyone in my pack, I didn't want him to hate me. My beta walked towards me or so I thought.He walked past me to Ferno who lay lifeless on the floor.I knew how close h
I opened my eyes to find myself in a dark room. Rubbing my eyes, I blinked a few times to adjust my eyes to the darkness of the room.I groaned, feeling a sharp pain shoot through my skull. I sighed, sitting up. The past few days flew into my head. The cave. The faerie. The revelations.I couldn't remember how I got here. I remembered hearing Olivia's screams as Leo beat me up and my blood started to boil. I could feel it tremble beneath my vines and my wolf started to growl."If they fucking hurt our mate, Julian. I would spill blood. I would rage hell on earth."My wolf's anger was slowly getting to me and I took in deep breaths. "You need to calm down. We can't afford to make irrational decisions due to anger. If we are going to find and save Olivia. We need to have a plan."My wolf scoffed, and I could feel him roll his eyes. I ignored him, looking over my body. I remembered Leo beating me up till I passed out, but my body was void of any injuries.Even with all our power, the wol
VANESSA'S POVOlivia was somewhere around Black Shrout the witch had said. I didn't ask for specifics because I didn't want to get into any more trouble or debt with the witch before seeing Olivia.Everyone in the supernatural realm knew the witches were unreliable and untrustworthy, if you got into debt with them, you would have to pay it back with your life or the lives of those you cared about.The thing about finding Olivia wasn't hard. I could sniff her out no matter where she was. A smile spread on my cheeks as I remembered her breathtaking smile.If I kept thinking about her, I would never find her. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked around the area I was in.Bright, windy.If I was Olivia, where would I go?Away from the open field were woods and the weather there seemed hotter than that of where I was standing. Did that mean that when it got dark here, it would be darker in the woods?That was pretty much it.Julian would not know this about Olivia but she would prefer
OLIVIA'S POV.As I ran through the forest, desperate for an escape from the killing frenzy mood that I had gone into, a memory of Alexander took hold of me and I held my two ears with my hands in an attempt to stop the memory. But despite everything I did to stop it, the memory still came.No, I was manipulated. That wasn't me.But it didn't stop the screams from that night from crossing his head. Alexander moaned, pressing his head against the heel of his wrists. Everything was coming in full force.“He did a good job. Alexander the Great, or so they call him. I had to see for myself, they were all dead,”“Yes. I agree with the alpha. He’s good. But, he wouldn’t have killed his tribe without some little manipulation of our own.”“Yep. That witch knows how to do her job. Cheers to us, for winning.”The voices began to overlap one another, resounding in his head. He grabbed his head with his hands, screaming. Make it stop. Make it stop.His wolf was whining, moving around in his head
