Olivia looked around, unable to believe how just a moment ago she was standing in an alley. And in the next moment, it was as if she was transported to an entirely different world. In stark contrast to the silence of the alley, loud music blared in the club as people milled around, enjoying themselves in the decadent hall. Strobe lights flashed through the entire area and her eyes fell on the dance floor where people, single as well as couples, swayed around merrily. Working as a waitress in a nightclub for years, this scenario was as familiar to her as breathing. But for the first time, she was there as a customer and not a waitress who has to smile and deal with clumsy drunken men and their leers.As Jenny pulled her towards the bar, Olivia snapped out of her daze. She looked down and noticed how they were dressed exactly like the others, fitting in easily. Now that she thought of it, it seemed obvious; the dress, the makeup, it all should have clued her in on their destination. But

A man emerged from the darkness and, as the light illuminated his silhouette, it appeared as if he was surrounded by a golden glow. It almost looked as if he was an angel with a halo around him, but Olivia knew he was far from an angel. And as his sharp features came visible, her thought was proved right. He stood with his feet apart, his hands clenched in fists at his side, and his entire stance screamed aggression. His thin pink lips were set in a hard frown as he stared at the men. His black hair was messy and though it looked gorgeous, she had a feeling that it was not deliberately styled that way, but he had run his fingers over it several times to ease his frustration. And his mesmerizing blue eyes were blazing furiously as he glared with murderous intention. For a moment, Olivia was grateful that she was not at the receiving end of that deadly gaze. At least for now.As Alpha Tyson Adams stalked towards his prey, Olivia felt Sia calm down in her mind and simultaneously, the pow

Just a few days ago, Olivia had wanted to escape, to run away from her mate and the life she saw as an imprisonment. She had planned to wait for the right time and sneak out when he was least expecting it. But seeing him lie there lifelessly, she suddenly couldn’t imagine a life without him in it. How could he just die like that? How could he leave her alone, just like that? Just how?Memories of their time together flashed through her mind as tears flew down her cheeks like a waterfall. Their fights, their kisses, their love making… It was just a few days yet it felt like a lifetime, as if he was always there in her life. She couldn’t believe he was gone, just like that!Maybe they would have kept on fighting forever. But maybe they would have loved each other some day, had children and grown old together. And now she would never know because he never got the chance. The ruthless Alpha who claimed her was gone...As she held his head in her lap, Olivia felt grief and regret threateni

"It's n-nothing! H-he just danced with me!" Olivia cursed herself when her stupid habit of stammering and blabbering popped up uninvited. "How can his scent be all over you with just dancing?" He asked in an accusing tone. Olivia should have been scared while the big bad Alpha looked down at her, his eyes screaming murder, but oddly, she was turned on by his possessiveness. Even though he looked a bit paler than usual and he was wearing a bloodstained shirt that has seen far better days, his aura was as dominant as ever. He looked hot as hell and his molten gaze was doing strange things to her insides. Butterflies fluttered in her belly and she felt desire rise in her. Focus, Olivia, focus! An angry Alpha is staring you down. It's not the time to get horny!She shook her head and looked up to see him looking at her with raised brows, and realized he was waiting for her answer. Wait. What was the question again? Oh right. Why was his scent all over her if they were just dancing? Beca

The next morning, Olivia woke up with a smile on her face and turned to her side, stretching her arm out, expecting to touch the warm body of her mate. But when her fingers only met the cold bedsheet, a frown slid on her face and she opened her eyes groggily. When she saw she was alone in the bed, her giddy mood soured immediately. He left her alone. Again!But then she remembered how he had acted so gentle and loving towards her in the night. That all felt real and after seeing such a side to him, she couldn’t imagine him going back to giving her the cold shoulder again. Somehow, it felt worse after last night when she had got a glimpse of what it could be for them if he didn’t see her as just trouble. It didn’t hurt when he was a jerk, but after seeing the sweet side of him, she just couldn’t imagine them going back to ignoring each other. That just didn’t make sense…Olivia shook her head, telling herself off for her wild imagination. Maybe he was in the washroom? She sat up, her e
