AUSTIN’S P.O.V“My loyal men, I am so proud of each and every one of you, you all fought extremely well. I am proud to be your Alpha. We had three days to rest and mourn the death of my beloved brother, but tonight we are going back to Stermyer to claim what is ours” I said proudly and my pack cheered with joy.……The time has come and I walked proudly from the forest back into Stermyer. Those who stayed behind hung their head in shame, I guess they really thought that I surrendered and didn’t expect to see my return.Just like how he took me by surprise, I too knocked on the door of Stermyertina when he least expected it. A few minutes after I knocked, my father opened the door. I loved the look on his face as if he had just saw a ghost, all the blood drained leaving him looking pale. “Austin? Wha-What are you doing here?” he asked. “I’m here because I am the Alpha of Stermyer…I think t
AUSTIN’S P.O.VWe stayed at Cariso’s house, well more like Olivia’s house since it actually belonged to her grandfather before Cariso came and snatched it from him. It’s been three days since we won the battle but I feel like I’ve lost because my brother is dead and my mate hasn’t regained consciousness as yet. We sent a message to the woman and children who left my pack with me and stayed behind in the forest while we fought, asking them to come here and join us,and now the house is full of people.I have been damping Olivia’s forehead with water, keeping her cool when I noticed that her finger twitched. “Olivia?” I called out softly and she groaned. ‘She is waking up!!!’ I thought to myself excitedly. I haven’t really worked out what to say to her as yet, I had enough time but I could not think of the right words. I should apologize for keeping my true identity a secret or not completely acceptin
AUSTIN’S P.O.VWe went to Cariso’s house, however, it was quiet in the front. “Seems like no one is here,” Keith said. “Where could they have gone?” I asked. “Maybe they somehow found out that we are coming tonight so they made a run for it” Keith suggested. “Yeah maybe…they couldn’t have gone far. If we leave now then we might find them on time” I said, walking away. “Wait, Austin! Don’t you hear that?” Keith stopped by. Listening carefully, I heard the growling. “It sounds like there is a fight somewhere,” I said, looking at Keith. “Let’s go check it out,” he said and we followed the noise…It led to the back of the house, near the Garden area. I crept in first, behind me was Keith and behind him were our men. “What’s happening?” Keith whispered.“It’s Olivia, she’s in danger!” I said to Keith
OLIVIA’S P.O.VWearing a pure white dress, I was escorted outside in chains. Six guards walked with me, two behind, two beside and two in front. There where people standing on either side, forming a guard of honour as I was taken towards a stone table, they were dressed in red robes and I assume that they are all Cariso’s pack members. Upon hearing the beating of the drums, fear gripped my heart but I did not flinch, I could feel the vibration of the steady fierce rhythm on the ground that I walked on. I held my head up high, as I tried to put up a brave front but on the inside all I wanted to do was run. However I knew that there was no one to help me right now and if I made a move then I would only be dragged back here, squealing and showing weakness, I wasn’t going to let myself be embarrassed like that…if I had to die tonight I would die full of pride!!! After all I, I still remember who I am, I am the granddaughter of an alpha! I am the daughter
OLIVIA’S P.O.VToday is the day that I was born, normally it was celebrated every year without fail. The year that my mum died, my dad threw me the biggest celebration with a firework display that could be seen throughout New York, he said that my mum would be watching from above and she would be very disappointed if he didn’t do anything special but deep down I knew that he was just doing it so I don’t miss her on my special day.However this is the year when that tradition breaks. My dad is no longer with me to throw a big grand ball and today might just be the day that I take my last breath like I took my first 22 years ago. My heart breaks most for the poor baby that I am carrying inside me, my baby wouldn’t even get to take his first breath or see the world. I know that he has life, I can feel him moving inside me and kicking every now and then…he deserves to live! He deserves a chance! Unfortunately I am not in any position to make
AUSTIN’S P.O.V“What’s bothering you?” my mother asked, watching as I just played around with my dinner instead of eating it. “Oh nothing, I’m just not very hungry,” I said. “Would you kindly excuse me?” I put my fork down and woke up from my chair. “No Austin! You are my son and I know that something is bothering you. Now you can choose to be stubborn and keep it to yourself or you can share your troubles with your brother and me, relieving yourself a bit. But remember if you choose the former rather than the latter, you wouldn’t be the only one not having dinner tonight but both you and I would be going to sleep on an empty stomach. So you choose Austin…” she said sternly, I chuckled a little seeing how she was treating me like a little child once again. “Mum please” I pleaded with her to leave me alone. “Don’t ‘mum please’ me, just tell me what’s wrong&r
OLIVIA’S P.O.VIt’s a week until my birthday and I am still here. Slowly I am losing sight of hope. I don’t know what to do or how to break free from these chains. There is no one to help me and I myself feel helpless.“Don’t give up Olivia, Austin will come” I heard Alexis say. “How do you know that?” I asked. “I have faith in our mate and you should too” She answered. “I hope that you are right Alexis, if not then you know what needs to happen,” I said, referring to the plan that I discussed with her a few days ago.“Taking to your wolf, are you?” Cariso walked in, catching me off guard. “No, my wolf is too weak to talk. I was talking to myself, maybe soon my insanity levels will reach yours” I said. “How feisty? Just like your mother was” he laughed at me. “You still speak about her, reminiscing over the past? No, Cariso you are living in it. You
AUSTIN’S P.O.V .“The girl is here” Keith said, joining me for breakfast. “Which girl? Where?” I asked, looking at him with the most confused look on my face. “Dawn summers. We spoke about it two days ago!” he said, my half buttered toast in my hand as I looked at him just as confused as I was before he provided me with extra information. “The girl who said that she was Olivia’s best friend and wants to help us find her! The girl that wanted to come and stay at Stermyer! The girl that you were so suspicious about! The one that you think is either working for dad or Cariso” Keith half shouted in frustration. “Oh that girl. The one that called you” I suddenly remembered . “Yesss!!! That one! Oh my word Austin, what is going on with you?” Keith asked. “Er, not much except that my elder brother hates me and my mate got so scared of me that she ran away and then possibly got kidna
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Good morning Olivia, guess what… I have your test results” Cariso said, gleaming in front of the bed that I was tied up on. I remained quite as he pulled out a page from a brown A4 envelope. “Hmmmm, that is very interesting” his eyebrows creased as read the results. “Well, Congratulations Olivia. It says here that you are pregnant!!! Oh my word, this is such great news!!! In fact this is the best news that I have got today!!!” he did a little psycho happy dance. “Why are you so happy?” I asked, confused about how my pregnancy would affect him, besides the fact that the situation got more delicate. “Wait! You don’t look as excited as I am! You knew about this didn’t you? You knew this whole time and that is why you didn’t want the doctor here! So tell me, my dear darling Olivia, who is the father?” he asked, a big smile still on his face, he seemed proud of himself as if
