All Chapters of The Alpha’s Banished Mate: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Olivia's POV “The bid for the chestnut stallion starts at five bags of gold,” the auctioneer shouted, his loud voice resounding throughout the open space.The sun beat down mercilessly, glinting off polished boots and shiny coins. The crowd was just typical of a local auction: buyers, traders, and those who had come only to watch. A few leaned forward with interest; most stood back like me, merely observant.“She is a fine-looking beast,” someone whispered, though it was hard to tell if it was admiration or mockery.I looked at the horse that he had priced at five bags of gold. It was a tall animal with a muscular frame, its coat gleaming like a well-kept weapon. Its stance was proud, ears alert, as if it understood it was on display. Still, its eyes betrayed its unease— it was wide, darting and unsettled. I had seen better horses go for far less. Then again, I had also seen worse ones go for far more, depending on the crowd and the mood.“Twenty bags of gold!” someone shouted. “Twe

What I aimed to achieve was simple. I wanted to create a distraction, one that would send them chasing a false lead. The second they see the bed sheets with the blood on the window, they will automatically assume that I had tried to escape down the window and hopefully they would not search the room but instead hurry outside to search for me on the ground. Meanwhile those on the ground would think that since I had not come down yet, it meant that their friends upstairs had reached me in time. It did not mean that they would not catch us still, it only meant that I had given us a small window of opportunity to escape. Everything was all dependent on them believing the illusion of escape I had created. Mere seconds later, I heard heavy footsteps walk over the room. “She’s escaped!”someone exclaimed and in a matter of seconds the room went quiet. Without wasting any time, I threw the duvet over our heads and we made a run for it. **** It had been tumultuous but we had bee

I wanted to return home the fastest I could. Damien had insisted that I pass the night on his bed while he slept on the couch. In spite of the comfortable plush bed, I had been unable to fall asleep. The second morning light filtered into the room, I stood up from bed. “Good morning, Moonshine,” Damien greeted me. I ignored him. “I told Albert to get you some clothes for your return home,” said Damien. The clothes were right next to him, he was daring me silently to come for them. I went to where he sat picking up the clothes as quickly as I could but in a bid to leave quickly, I tripped and fell right on his lap. I should have stood up the second right after that but I did not. I allowed his hand to draw closer into himself so that I could feel his arousal through his clothes which I still wore. He caressed my neck and shoulders with his fingers for a while before moving them onto my breasts which he caressed in a circular motion. But before he could seize my lips in a kiss,

Olivia’s POV“Honey, I've had a long day. Why don't I freshen up and then we can have dinner?” I asked Jeremy, changing the topic entirely. I did not want to give my consent to having Albert supersive Jeremy. It simply wasn't safe. What if Damien had ordered him to kidnap Jeremy again? Albert had to go, I just had to find a good reason to let him go. An hour later, we all reconvened for dinner. I usually found the dining room comforting even though it was a rather large space for our small family but it was so because we usually had guests who joined us for meals. There were no guests today however, it was just the three of us and perhaps to the outside world, watching us sit together to enjoy a meal we looked like a happy family. There was nothing however cheerful about this gathering. The dining room glowed with the warm sapphire light of the chandelier, casting clickers on the silverware and polished wood. I had insisted on the sapphire when I began living in the palace, I had t

Simeon's POV My mind was made up. I was going to lie my way out of this situation. I could never admit to sleeping with Prinsca even though we had been at it for five years.I called Olivia's name one more time but she wouldn't answer me, she would not do much as I look back. I understood that she was angry, the only thing left to do was to give her some time to herself. I needed to give her time to realise that her best shot was with me.She couldn't possibly go back to Damien after everything that he had done to her right?Only that I had done the exact same thing to her.But this was different, it had to be. Staying by her side all these years had to count for something.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing about the corridor. The wind was cold against my skin, reminding me that what I had done to Olivia had been heartless and I would never be able to forget it. I was also going to live the rest of my life in regret no matter the decision I made. I could still see the look in Oli
