Semua Bab Fake Vow, True Luna: Bab 151 - Bab 160

OliviaAfter sitting at the duck pond for a while, Nathan was pulled away for some Alpha duties. I watched him leave, his form taking on the posture of a true Alpha.Soon, with the proper training and approval rates, he would become our pack’s Supreme Alpha; and I knew that he would be the best we had ever had.Afterwards, I made my way to Angela’s house.“Tea?” she asked, opening the door to let me in. I nodded, swallowing. My throat felt dry and cracked.As we walked into her little kitchen, I sank exhaustedly down into a chair at the table.“I saw the press conference on TV,” she said, placing a cup of steaming hot chamomile tea in front of me. “You okay?”“I’ll be fine,” I lied, stirring my tea with a spoon. “It’s just…”“I know,” Angela interrupted. “It’s a lot. But you’ll get through it. Both of you. I have faith that you two will work things out; you’re like two peas in a pod.”Angela’s words, although kind, only made me feel worse. I felt worse because I knew she was right abo

OliviaThe door closed behind me, sealing my fate and finalizing the goodbye. With my head hung low, I walked down the steps to the sidewalk and began my walk of shame back to the villa.The setting sun cast everything in a warm orange glow, but my insides felt cold and blue like the deepest waters of the raging ocean. Why wouldn’t Nathan understand that I wanted him close to me? Why did he have to push me away like this?Angela had said that Nathan and I were like two peas in a pod, completely inseparable. But we had been separated for ten years, and now we were separated once more.Something in me told me that we wouldn’t find our way back to each other again, not with our lives moving in opposite directions.“Angela won’t be so sure about Nathan and me now,” I muttered to myself, shoving my hands into my pockets as I walked. A stone laid in my path, and with a grimace I gave it a solid kick, watching with angry satisfaction as it skittered across the pavement and fell into a storm

OliviaThe months after Nathan left were filled with both expectation and loneliness.My pregnancy advanced, and my belly swelled, reminding me daily of the life growing within me.I decided not to find out the gender of the baby. In fact, even though I began to have suspicions that I was carrying twins instead of a single child, I refused to let the doctor tell me the details. Just as long as the little life—or lives—inside of me was healthy, that was all I cared about.Angela said that I was being avoidant. Maybe I was, but I didn’t care. It was my decision, and it was a decision that I was sticking with.But it was Levi who became my rock during that time.After realizing that my belly was growing too rapidly to be able to keep up with cleaning and maintenance on the villa, I had invited him to live with me. I not only needed help around the house, but I also found myself craving the company.We became good friends, confiding in each other, sharing laughter and, sometimes, tears.I

OliviaThe sun was already warming the streets as I headed out for my prenatal yoga class.Dressed in my comfortable yoga clothes, I enjoyed the peacefulness of the morning, my mind wandering to last night's dinner and the unexpected turn of events.It was strange how a single evening had stirred up so many emotions. I felt relieved that Nathan had returned, but I also felt angry that he had been gone for so long to begin with. We were so close to each other in proximity all along, but he never spoke to me unless he had to.It was almost insulting that he only came back once he was hit with another jealous streak.At the same time, though, a little part of me was glad that he was jealous. Maybe I wanted him to be that way, if only because that was what drew him back.Maybe we would still never go beyond being friends, and lately, I had come to terms with that. However, I was glad that we at least had the chance to get our old friendship back.I was lonely. Neither Angela nor Levi coul

Nathan“You were a fool, Nathan,” I said out loud to myself, staring up at my ceiling. “A real moron.”These were words that I had repeated to myself countless times over the past few days. During those months when I was apart from Olivia, I thought that I was doing the right thing. I thought that I was protecting both of us, no matter how much I missed her.But now, I just knew that it was hurting both of us more than I ever thought possible. And seeing her with Levi at the grocery store, those brief hours when I thought that she had moved on for good, only solidified that for me.I really was a fucking idiot.But I was determined to make things right again. Because more than anything, more than seeing Olivia and Levi standing together by the deli counter, I saw how she was struggling with her pregnancy.Her belly was swollen, her back aching, her breath ragged when she sat down and got up. She was putting on a brave front, but I knew that her due date was just around the corner, and
