Olivia POV
“Who did this to you?”
I was startled as I hadn’t felt his presence approaching me until he spoke.
Marcus was inspecting every scratch on my body. “Who did this to you?” he repeated with a growl.
My mouth went dry and I was speechless. I couldn’t help but let my eyes wander over his body and notice his T-shirt clinging tightly to his body.
“Olivia… Who did this to you?” he asked again, taking a step closer to me.
“I-it’s nothing, just a few scratches,” I tried to say, but he put his hand under my chin and ran his thumb near the scratch on my cheek.
“This is a little too deep for just nothing, so tell me who did this to you.” His face was close
Olivia POV It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, and I felt exhausted after my one-on-one training with Samantha. As soon as Lizzy calmed down, we walked back to our cabin in silence and got ready for the picnic. Damon, Zen, and Wyatt walked ahead of Lizzy, Annie, Mandy, and me, carrying picnic baskets and blankets. It felt like it took hours to walk to the spot where we were going to have the picnic. Finally, Damon, Zen, and Wyatt stopped. “Okay, ladies, now you all stay there and close your eyes,” Damon said with a charming smile on his face. All four of us crossed our arms over our chests and looked at them with an obvious question written on our faces. All three of them chuckled, then Damon said, “Oh,
Damon POV After a hard practice, I took a shower and went back to my cabin. I was drying my wet hair with a towel in only my shorts when the door of my cabin opened and inside came Heather, a girl from my pack. I paused in the middle of drying my hair. “Heather? What are you doing here?” “I missed you,” she said, closing the door behind her as she walked seductively towards me. I arched my eyebrow, and before I knew it, she was in front of me, caressing my bare chest and leaning her body into mine. Then she stood on her tiptoes and went for a kiss. I shook my head and grabbed a hold of her wrists to stop her, and calmly pushed her body away from mine.
Olivia POV It’s been weeks since the day that Damon kissed me. I wasn’t expecting it to happen and Aurora wasn’t too thrilled about it. Damon later admitted that he had wanted to kiss me to understand his emotions towards me better, and he was happy it cleared up everything between us. The only issue was that now Marcus had been avoiding me. Every time he saw me, he left, even when I was intentionally trying to talk to him. It hurt me to see the hurt, betrayal, and anger in his eyes each time he’d walk away. The only good that kiss brought was that it resolved where Damon and I stood with one another. The kiss felt like I was kissing a brother and definitely not comfortable at all, and even though it only lasted for a short moment, Damon said it was the same for him. He was sweet and has since treated me like I’m his little sister. Every time we hung out
Olivia POV “Attack! Attack! Rogues!” Teachers and trainers wasted no time and started telling everyone what to do. The male shifters were to go with trainers and fight if needed, while we females were to follow after our head teacher and go hide in the hidden bunker that had a safe room made for us. I looked at the cabin in front of the one I was staying in, and I saw Marcus standing near the door, listening to instructions that were given to them. He looked up at me, and I knew he could see the worry in my eyes—I couldn’t hide it. Yes, I knew how to fight, but I was still worried about him and my brother and my friends. I walked across the little path that divided our cabins and towards him while he moved from his cabin and walked towards me. The moment I was close to him, my heart started racing and Aurora go
/Trigger warning: gore, murder, fighting/ Marcus POV My wolf’s teeth clamped down into flesh, and I could feel the warm, metallic liquid flood my mouth. The thrill of the fight was rushing through my body when suddenly a Rogue wolf jumped on my back and bit my shoulder. I could feel the searing pain from the bite, but choosing to ignore it, I let go of a dead Rogue and slammed my side into a tree, making the one on top of me lose its hold on my shoulder and fall from my back. Without wasting a second, I lunged at him, surprising him and managing to bite into his side, making him yelp in pain. As soon as he was down, I went for his throat and ripped it open. I saw the moment his eyes went glassy, and he was gone. I looked around the field and could see others still fighting off remaining Rogues. I saw Logan and Tanner fighting some, and Logan successful
Olivia POV I stood aside, eyes wide, watching in pure fear as two wolves were fought against Marcus. It was a brutal sight to watch, but I was too afraid to close my eyes. The sounds coming from them tore at my heart. I was worried they would hurt him, but he was fast and strong and magnificent. I checked on Mandy and Lizzy and saw that Mandy was wrapped in a tight hold, securely hiding her face in the chest of none other than my brother James. He was kissing the top of her head and trying to soothe her. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and I saw her tear-stained face looking up towards him. James wiped away her tears, and when I realized they were about to kiss, I looked away. I searched for Lizzy next, and I saw her lying on the grass under a tree. Her eyes were closed, and a huge wolf was licking her and pushing her arm lightly with his nuzzle. His whimpers wer
Olivia POV After the battle, we were instructed to cut the trip short and return home. Mandy and James surprised everyone when they announced to everyone that they’re mates, so now everyone was preparing for a celebration in honor of our future flock Alpha and Luna. I was happy for them but also envious because they had it easier than both Lizzy and I. Why we were destined to other shifters, who weren’t even Sirens, was beyond my knowledge. Lizzy recovered from her injuries well, and when she woke up, she had a talk with Logan in private, but I didn’t know what they said. School was back in session, and part of me was happy about it since the Opal pack enrolled in our school and we got to see all of our friends again. I w
Olivia POV “I can’t believe he didn’t tell me anything!” Mandy had been complaining since the moment we left my house when Damon picked us up. She even marched into James’s room and went all Hulk on him for not telling her that he knew that Marcus was my mate. Silly, I know. “It’s not that big of a deal, Mandy,” I tried, but she gave the look that said don’t you use that on me. Damon coughed to cover up his chuckling, which earned him a glare from me. “Oh geez. He knows because I told him the day of the attack, so give him break, will you?” Damon looked through the rearview mirror to the back seat where Mandy and I were sitting. Zen was silently sitting next to us, listening to his music on this phone. Lucky guy.
