Olivia's POVI didn't know why he ate so hurriedly. Was the meeting so important that he had to rush his food? Somewhere I felt a little jealous about whoever he was going to meet. Regardless, I took my time in eating my meal.When I finished eating, I cleared the table, taking the used dishes to the kitchen. I had a large appetite so I ate the rest of the pasta and meatballs that remained. Since I didn't eat so much at my parent's place, I ate enough whenever I had the opportunity to.I noticed how Elsa avoided my gaze when I entered the kitchen to drop the plates. I also avoided her. I wouldn't want anything else to go wrong again today. Once I kept them properly, I turned to go."I wonder who you're leaving the dishes for." She murmured. "You're dumb not handicapped."I turned to be sure she was referring to me. I even pointed at myself to be sure."Are you so stupid that you can't comprehend when you're being referred to? You served the Alpha his meal and you drop the used dishes
Devon's POVComing back to find her training made me a little pleased. I thought about sharing my discussion with Susan with her. At least she had to know what she was up against. I wouldn't want her to become so afraid of me when I begin to increase her training.I called her to end her training and follow me. My initial plan was to discuss with her in my room. At least to avoid a third party from hearing about it.When she came, she asked me why I had returned so early and I just began to explain right there. I don't know what it was that I said but she got so carried away and when I spoke, she wasn't listening.I had to yell out her name before she regained her consciousness. What was she always thinking about? The most annoying thing there was that even if I asked, she could never be able to answer me.All she would do is make those gagging noises and complete the rest by waving her hands around. It made me go mad. Trying to understand her was a full course on it's own, it was mor
Devon's POV"Or did you lie to me?"I don't know why, but I found myself questioning whether she was lying to me. Despite her inability to speak, I felt like she was communicating with me in other ways. However, her nervousness when I mentioned visiting the hospital made me doubt her honesty. It was a confusing situation, as I was the one assuming her thoughts and feelings.Despite my doubts, I couldn't help but admire her grace in accepting or refusing my assumptions. It made me wonder if it was fair to accuse her of lying when she was simply communicating in her way. It was a complex situation that left me feeling conflicted and unsure of what to believe.She hadn't answered me yet. I wanted to keep asking but then I realized that the truth may never be fully clear in this situation. It was up to me to decide whether to trust my assumptions or to give the person the benefit of the doubt. What will I choose? That solely depends on how well she can convince me now still.She smiled we
Olivia's POVHow he had stopped me from practicing made me feel like the training was over for the day. Then came the soft moments when it felt like we were already in love. The calm and nice Devon was more handsome than the devilish one. But after that, he came up with the hospital speech and told me that he was going to be so strict with me but I should not be upset.I had to accept the fact that the sweet moments I had enjoyed would not be repeated if I did not endure the hard moments. This has always been the promise I received when I was living with my parents. But in all eighteen years of my life, I have never seen the reward for the so much suffering I have seen and endured.Rather, it only made me more of a slave to everyone I came in contact with. This is why even in my mate's castle, I am regarded as a slave even by the maids. All because of how bad I was born and the fact that my mate rejected me openly. If I ever met the moon goddess, she would first tell me why she made m
Olivia's POV"Well done."The anger rose high and it felt like I was a glass of water that has been set on a hot flame and now I was boiling furiously. Yet, I managed to not show it on the outside, I controlled my emotions.The first problem I have always had was that I was too easily read. My parents could easily tell that I was hurt about what they had done to me and that was why they always did those things and even far worse things to me.Well, not anymore. Now I am going to be different, different from what everyone else will expect. So even if my father comes here severally to try and shower me with faux love, I won't allow him to know that I am affected.So now that he stood, complimenting me, I can already tell that his main reason for coming is just to find out if I have locked Devon's wolf yet. Well, I know what to do. I won't allow him to know I did it so easily, or else he might try to convince me to poison him.I will deny it still. Until then I am ready to accept it, I w
Beta Brent's POVI waited for a while. Olivia had not sent any message to me. It felt weird and at a point, I began to panic. I know how stupid my daughter can be. What if she went ahead and told Alpha Devon what she was asked to do? What if she failed and was caught?That wouldn't be my issue unless she went ahead to include me in the matter. If she dared to say I was the one who lured her into doing it then there would be a huge problem for me. Because even if Devon does not believe her, for the fact that he would want to war with me, he would use that as a reason.Alpha Rodrigo's gaze was focused on me. He was the reason I'm thinking this way now. He summoned me to ask me how well Olivia has done. I couldn't answer properly. Maybe I should just tell him the truth, what was the worst that could happen?"Alpha Rodrigo, she said she would call me back. She asked me not to come again so that I would not be spotted by anyone." I answered. It was the truth anyway.He didn't look too plea
22Beta Brent's POVI was caught off guard when I discovered that my daughter, Olivia, had betrayed me to Alpha Devon. As a beta, I knew the consequences of being exposed to an alpha. My worst fears were confirmed when Alpha Devon revealed that he knew my true identity and my allegiance to Alpha Rodrigo, his arch-enemy. The situation was dire. I had to escape before Alpha Devon could take any action against me. I knew that my life could be in danger, and I couldn't risk having him find out more about Alpha Rodrigo from me. I quickly began to take steps backward. I noticed the smirk on his face but I was too afraid to address that. As I made my way out of his castle, I couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal from my daughter. I had always tried to make her strong and independent, but she had always seen it as a punishment, and now it seemed that she had chosen a different path. Despite my feelings of betrayal and anger, I knew that I had to focus on my survival and that of our pa
Olivia's POVDevon summoned me to his chamber at night and I was wondering why he called me. I expected to see him after he had spoken to my father but he didn't come to me. I did not even know where he had gone. I was really tensed when I heard him send me inside. Of course I would obey, but it did not mean I wasn't concerned.When they finished speaking, I did not know too. I waited a while and then I did not hear anything so I walked out slowly to see if they were still there. I peeped and did not find them there. Not my father, not Devon.Sighing, I walked back inside. I hoped to not be seen by anyone since I was trying to avoid any issues. Once I got to my room, I paced around. I really couldn't rest. I was on edge. What if my father had somehow blabbed to Devon? What if he wanted to cause troubles for me? Why did I accept to do this too?While I was pacing in my room, I heard a soft knock on my door. I stopped to listen for a while just to be sure if I had really heard the knock
