Time flew. Olivia knew time was the only thing she couldn't stop, regardless of how much she wanted to freeze it and enjoy a moment alone. The thing was that both Logan and Landon took Olivia's words as a promise, not a simple possibility. Both men were obsessed with every little detail of the event. One tiny detail that Logan forgot to mention? This year, the Lunar Ball was happening in their territory. So, it wasn't only about the Alphas' crazed ways to ensure every single detail was worked up to perfection; it was also their odd requests regarding Olivia. First, they sent some servants to the biggest city nearby to buy loads of makeup. Logan had noticed no one in their pack had skin as fair as Olivia's, so he needed to ensure they had makeup she could use. What was supposed to be a quick trip ended up as a massive shopping spree because Olivia insisted if she was to wear makeup, so were the other women in the pack. The same went with new dresses- if she got one, so did the othe

If Olivia could have had a chance to tell everyone present how much she didn’t want to attend the Lunar Ball, she would scream it out at the top of her lungs. Yet, no matter how much she wanted to, she couldn’t deal with the guilt that filled her every time she thought about Logan. How disappointed he would be if she suddenly backed out and changed their plans. Would the Alpha ever bother to listen to Olivia again, and actually trust her? No, he probably wouldn’t. After all, who wanted to trust someone who made a promise and broke it right before the due date? Or maybe she should say hours before the event?Olivia had about two hours to get ready, but emotionally, she wasn’t ready to face yet another possibility of mockery. She wasn’t just the adoptive daughter of the late Blac couple, she was also the woman who was forcefully marked by the man she once trusted. Another useless forced Luna that couldn’t gain anyone’s respect even if she did her best to earn it. Women like Olivia

From the very moment Noah entered the house of his supposed-to-be enemy, he had a gut feeling that he’d get more than he bargained for. Maybe others thought he was the bad guy, and he wouldn’t blame them because deep down, Noah knew he wasn’t exactly the gift from God, but all he wanted was to be treated as an equal. Just for once. Just this once, he wanted to walk through crowds as if he weren’t the outsider, they believed him to be. Slowly, and extremely carefully, he scanned the crowd to locate the business associates. The sooner he had discussions with those men, the sooner he could leave the dreadful place. Though for this evening he had agreed to be civil with Landon and Logan, given he was on their territory, Noah still didn’t want to run into any of them. Knowing how both men were, Noah was sure that they wouldn’t pass on the chance to tease him about losing track of the woman he had marked. By now, any other Alpha would have found the woman, if she ran, but not Noah. In

Olivia couldn’t explain why her eyes sought out Noah for the rest of the evening even if she tried to. Her actions were like an instinct. The look on his face when she noticed Noah wasn’t anything Olivia thought she would see. Years ago, she would feed herself delusional ideas about her brother, missing her and being happy to see her. But now, she expected anger and resentment. None of those she saw. Hurt? Yes. Regret? Perhaps a hint of it. But what stood out the most was how miserable Noah looked. If she didn’t know better, Olivia would claim her supposed-to-be brother looked like someone who didn’t think he was worthy of standing under the same roof as her. “Olivia?” Logan’s voice startled her out of her thoughts, and her cheeks immediately turned bright red as she realised Logan’s eyes weren’t the only ones set on her. “Sorry,” she muttered. “I don’t feel good,” Olivia lied. She had no other choice but to come up with a bad, but believable lie. What would Logan and the othe

Noah knew he was acting like a selfish bastard, but he couldn’t do anything to change how he felt or viewed things, no matter how hard he tried. Especially Olivia. Every time he looked at her, he felt the pull he couldn’t resist and after the run-in with the witch, the need to protect her grew thousand times more intense. Judging by the look on her face and her cold attitude, Olivia wasn’t happy about returning home, but Noah couldn’t allow that bastard Logan to flaunt his Luna as a shiny new toy. Olivia couldn’t know how that man was, how he acted or anything about his true antics, but Noah knew enough. Women came and went to Logan, he never bothered about anyone’s feelings until his were hurt. Noah felt sorry for Logan at times for the man had lost his rightful Luna, but while his father kept hiding his son’s doings, Noah witnessed more than once how easy it was for Logan to jump from one bed to another. If he didn’t know better, Noah would claim Logan never really mourned the
