JULIAN'S POV."Thank you for the ride, Holden. I'll see you both later in the day," I told both my beta and my omega."See you later, Julian," Holden called out before he drove away.I sighed and walked into my mansion. After Holden had beckoned to me yesterday about a matter that urgently needed my attention, I hadn't expected that it would be a matter that would require so much of my time.It turned out that some of the soldiers had spotted another set of Blue Blood werewolves transporting the crates of fruits from the Khoyata tree. They had captured one of them and they had wanted me to be present for his questioning. When I got there, I had met the omega questioning the captured man who had done nothing but kept mute.Holden and I had thought that he wasn't responding to the omega's questioning because she was a woman, coupled with the fact that she wasn't someone who loved threatening and punishing people except when the situation called for it. So, we had asked her to relax and

OLIVIA'S POVWhen I woke up, I felt giddy from the previous day's celebration. I had been treated better than I could've ever imagined and Julian made sure I was comfortable through it all.Honestly, I did not like that I was introduced to everyone so suddenly but after everything went out smoothly, I had a good night's sleep.I stretched my limbs and didn't feel the need to stay in bed for another hour. One would think if I left my pack, the first thing I would do in my home was sleep but here I was, feeling upbeat and excited.My body was also strong and energetic, if I laid in my bed for more hours. I would only be sleeping away the loads of energy I had.I skidded into the bathroom and started my morning routine. Brush teeth, shower, skincare. My fingers played with the well-tailored dresses in the closet as I decided on what to wear.The green plain dress that was comfy as hell or the peach that looked incredibly light and silky?I slipped into the former and prepared myself. I

OLIVIA'S POV"Luna, you're back." Vanessa grinned as I arrived on the first floor.It was around evening and I didn't expect her to be around. She was holding a tray containing a bunch of blueberries."How long did you wait here?" I asked, in surprise."W-well... Since you left."That was not impressive."Whenever I'm not around, you don't have to serve me. It was just an excuse to stop those girls from bullying you. You should also do what you like to do the most instead of waiting."I walked toward her and sighed. There were beads of sweat on her forehead and that gave me the information I needed. She had stood there for a very long time.I opened the door to my room and ushered her in. I patted a spot next to me on the bed and she sat down and looked at me curiously.I didn't know why but I felt like Vanessa was trustworthy and I blurted everything to her without thinking.VANESSA'S POVShe appeared at the top of the stairs with a graceful look. Immediately she saw me, a spread aga

*Olivia*I woke up to the sound of birds chirping. I stretched out against the bed, loosening all the tight joints. I heard them pop and smiled as I threw off the covers. Swinging my feet over the bed, I slipped my legs into the pair of slippers and made my way to the bathroom. Today was a good day. I felt much better than usual and my head seemed clearer. Maybe it's because you are getting closer to Julian. I rolled my eyes, ignoring the voice. I picked up my toothbrush, spreading toothpaste along the bristles. I turned on the tap, running the toothpaste below it.I started brushing my mouth, humming an old song under my breath. I spat into the sink as I finished, using a cup on the counter to collect water to rinse out my mouth.Slipping out of my clothes, I stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. One thing about Julian's house was that I could always bathe hot water. They soothed the scars on my back and I didn't move for a second. The scars were healed, but running

LEO'S POV.My anger was visible for the whole world to see and I didn't want to do anything to stop it. Even when my subordinates kept moving backward to stay away from my wrath, I didn't do anything to contain my anger. I felt like killing someone and I still might if what I am thinking about turned out to be true. I watched in silence as the informant the witch had suggested that we use to achieve our purpose stood in the hall, waiting for the confirmation that the information he brought over to Alpha Julian was needed.When the witch had told me that she suspected that my brother was the culprit who had stolen my lover, I hadn't wanted to believe it at first but then all the events that had happened that day Olivia went missing had suddenly begun to make sense. When I remembered how my brother had played me for a fool by engaging me in silly conversation, I felt angrier.Of course, I had wanted to storm over to his place immediately and demand the release of the woman that had been
