James, The new resolve I had was incredible. I did not feel useless anymore. I did not know how much I loved Olivia until now. Nothing felt good. Having her with me really helped when the problems started. I was desperate and impatient; I wanted her back. I was also ashamed of my behaviour. The girl's only crime was that she loved deeply. I remember how she looked at the holiday house the last time I saw her and the horrible things I said to her. She was crying, and I was too stupid to know it was difficult for her. She must be lost living in that mansion with Caspian. I could only imagine what he had done to her, but I was now focused. I hoped it wasn't too late. For the first time in six weeks, I decided to go to the office. I was geared up for the future. I had too much to fight for. Olivia, my parents and my island. I wasn't the alpha for nothing. I intended to risk everything, including my crucial mark, to get everything back into order. I arrived at the office, and Dwa

OliviaI fell asleep strung up. I welcomed the sleep because it made the pain stop.I woke up to the sound of moving chains. I was in pain and saw Caspian removing the chains he bound me with. He pulled the clothing that was over my mouth.Releasing my hand from the bars, he carried me out of the room to the bedroom. He did not speak a word to me. I preferred it that way. I did not want to hear what he had to say. The fact that he had not killed me yet meant he wasn't planning to.He went into the bathroom and spent some time there. Because I still had that bracelet on my wrist, my healing was slow, but it sped up faster than when I had the silver chains and bounds on.Caspian returned to the room and carried me to the bathroom.He had run some water, and I dreaded if salts were in it because of my wounds.He placed me in the water, and I screamed from the pain."Shhh," He said, patting my hair gently."You broke my heart, Olivia.." he said, looking at me."Why couldn't you just g

James.I got dressed in the morning, eager to go to Eastwood for the exchange. I was nervous and hopeful that the exchange would work out fine. I prayed that Caspian wouldn't double-cross me and there would be no incident. I couldn't wait to hold Olivia in my arms and beg for her forgiveness. I could not wait to tell my parents how disappointed I was in them. They were the biggest leverage Caspian had, all because they had thrown caution to the wind and went to battle without my knowledge and permission. They might be strong, intelligent and brave, but I was now their alpha. They disregarded me entirely and put the entire island in jeopardy.I will speak my mind and then hug them so tightly that I will never let them out of my sight again. I have been scarred that badly.I wore a simple t-shirt and jeans and stepped out of my room. To my surprise, Chloe, Paul and Tristan were in the hallway, all dressed and ready."What do you think you are doing?" I asked them and Tristan smiled

James. I could not believe that I finally had Olivia in my arms. When I saw what Caspian did to her, knowing she was carrying my child made me mad. I had never been so determined to kill anyone, but this was it for me. I was pissed off. The doctor came to attend to Olivia, and he had so much to say. According to him, Olivia had suffered mental trauma, was malnourished, and the concentration of silver in her blood did not allow her voice to heal after screaming for so long from the torture. He said she would soon be able to speak correctly, but we should try and keep her from silver. I made the doctor attend to Guenevere, who needed to go through serious rehabilitation because of the substances given to her by her husband. I could not believe Caspian would do this to Olivia's mother. He sent her back to the person she was running from because she had contacted me. Suddenly a slow death seemed better than the one I had planned for him. My parents were okay, and my father had fi

Chloe. Dwayne and I sat on the grass side by side, with me leaning on him. We stared at the horizon and city; it was a beautiful sight to share. I suspected Tristan would not return. After about an hour, I knew my baby brother wasn't coming back. "How are things at home?" Dwayne finally asked. "Great, my parents are back, and Olivia is alive and well," I said, and his face became sad. "I owe that woman big time. Caspian was going to kill my father if it weren't for her bravery," he said, and my heart became sad. "She paid dearly for freeing uncle Caleb, your father and uncle Kirk. He strung her up with silver and beat her senseless with it. I suspect he also violated her, but she hasn't spoken up about it," I said, and he was shocked. "She is pregnant," He said, and I figured his father must have told him. "More reason for the psycho to inflict pain on her. She is currently receiving treatment," I said, and he balled his fist. "I hope we get to pay that bastard a visit soon," h
