UNKNOWN’S P.O.V
“I regretted it! I regretted it terribly! Stealing from the poor…I didn’t know that he would find out and now I am on the run, hopefully I can get away…” I packed all my necessary belongings as fast as I could, sweat beaded on my forehead. Every second counted as I took quick glances at the clock. I sighed in relief, he didn’t find me as yet! I zipped up the backpack and headed for my front door…maybe I would get away with this…maybe I can survive this!
However, as soon as I opened my front door that thought disappeared. About 7 or 8 black cars surrounded my house forming a semi-circle which I could not escape. Men in black suits and dark glasses stood in front of the cars, each one of them held a gun which pointed in my direction. But it wasn’t them that scared me…it was the unarmed man in the middle who made my palms sweaty and the hair in the back on my neck stand on ends! It was him!!! Him, who everyone spoke about…him whose name was whispered in the wind because people were too afraid to say it out loud!!! Him, who had so much blood in his hands yet he was worshipped!!!
He looked calm with his eyes being Egyptian blue, leaning on the bonnet of his Rolls Royce, his hands in the pockets of his long grey coat. It was true what they said about him…he was more handsome than I was with his sharp but perfect features, skin as smooth as porcelain, hair as black as the night sky, he was taller than all the men who stood on either side of him which makes him the most attractive man that this town has ever seen. Along with his looks, he had his stigma attached to him…he successfully built his own business empire and brought in even more wealth to his already wealthy family, let’s not forget about him being a mafia boss as well…as rumors have it he had every powerful man wrapped around his fingers and he plays them like his puppets! Maybe he would let me live, he doesn’t look too upset, but after all, it is him…is he merciful? Merciful? He is the devil who walks this Earth, owning everything that catches his eye and just like that he owns this town. ‘Stermyer’ doesn’t have the police to keep everyone in order…it has the ‘Hunters’, but it is only Austin hunter who can make a person both excited and afraid at the same time. He is like a celebrity…Everyone has heard about him, the girls crave to just get a glance of him, but you would only see him when you are about to die.
Watching me take a step back, his eyes turned from Egyptian blue to sliver with golden flakes which reminds me that apart from a business tycoon, mafia boss, devil who walks this Earth he is also a beast and I don’t mean this in a metaphorical way. He is a literal beast just like everyone else who lives in this town, the only difference with him was that he is our Alpha.
With a swift movement, I ran back inside and locked the door. I heard a loud bang and the next thing I knew was that I was on the floor, the biggest wolf that I had ever seen was standing above me. His fur was a beautiful black color, his eyes glowing gold. He growled in anger and I began to plead. My wolf fought to come out but I kept him in, I knew that we would stand no chance against the powerful Alpha Austin Hunter. I knew it was over now and I deeply regretted the wrongs that I have done…but the thing about him is that he doesn’t forgive anyone!!! With a swipe of his powerful claw, I felt my throat rip opened and I began to fade away as all of my blood oozed out! He stood and watched, proud of the slow and painful death that I was experiencing…
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI just put on my second heel when I heard a hoot outside. Getting up from the dressing stool, I grabbed my purse and the next thing I knew was that I was on the floor. I groaned in pain then took out my phone and called my best friend.“Hey Dawn, can you come inside? I think I am going to be a while. Oh and come up to my bedroom, I need your help.” I said. “What’s wrong now? I told you to be ready by 6” she moaned, throwing herself on my bed, her gold sparkling dress was just long enough to cover her buttocks. “I was ready but these shoes are useless” I complained, holding the shoes in my hand. Lifting her head up to see what I was complaining about, “The shoes are useless?” she asked in a sarcastic voice. “Yes, they dropped me down and now I have to change my whole outfit” I tossed the shoes to the side and headed towards my closet. “Well, I guess that it’s better in a w
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Morning sweetheart” my dad greeted as he joined me for breakfast. “Morning dad,” I said, playing around with my food rather than eating it. “Something on your mind?” he asked, noticing my stance. “Brad and I broke up last night” I informed him, but that wasn’t what was bothering me. “Hmmmm, Liv, we have more important things to bother about rather than Brad, besides it’s not like he came from a wealthy family,” he said, cold-heartedly. “I don’t understand how you could be so mean at times” my words came out in irritation. “Liv, honey, I am not being mean, I am just worried about your future,” he said and let out a heavy sigh. “Liv, I haven’t told you this because I thought that everything would be alright. I thought that we were just going through a phase. Sailing through such rough waters, I thought that our ship was just rocking according t
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“I would invest 40million Euros in your business, Mr. Nightingale” Mr. Hunter offered my father an amount which was three times what we needed. “40 million Euros? That’s a very big amount Mr.Hunter and I am very grateful for your gratitude but what percentage of the profits would you take if you are willing to invest 40 million euros, Mr.Hunter?” my father’s face lit up with hope but he was still very wary. Something seemed wrong and I knew that my father sensed it too. “Oh no, Mr. Nightingale, have enough money to buy the entire world if I want to, but what fun would that be? Mr. Nightingale, in return for this 40 million I would take something much more valuable from you” he said, looking at me with his piercing Egyptian blue eyes. I know that I shouldn’t be but I couldn’t help but feel more attracted to him. “And what would that be?” my father asked a lump of fear in this thr
OLIVIA’S P.O.VAfter many hugs and tears, I kissed my father goodbye, took a deep breath and headed towards the door. I turned around one last time to see his watery eyes and a reassuring smile. I looked at our house for the last time, the memories of my childhood playing in my mind, so much laughter, so much joy, sooo many memories of my mother, father and I, all being left behind as I make this sacrifice to enter the next chapter of my life.Outside awaited a Limo to pick me up, it was very similar to the one that my father and I often traveled in, but it was not. This was sent by Austin Hunter, he wanted to make sure that I don’t get lost on the way and waste his ‘precious’ time. I rolled my eyes thinking about how egotistically he spoke last night.I felt stupid and weak, although I knew that the man is arrogant and too fond of himself for my liking…I was still head over heels about him. I know that I am going there as his empl
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI woke up from my deep sleep with a gentle touch across my face. Looking around me, I couldn’t tell who it might have been. “Ah, good you are awake, we are about to land,” Keith said to me. “Is it morning already?” I asked, still in a sleepy mood, I yawned and stretched. “Finally we are home,” Austin said, he seemed relieved to be back. The plane began to land and I held on tightly to my seat, this is the part that always has me scared, I’m okay during take-off and while we are in the air but landing feels like crushing to me. “Scared?” Austin asked, a wicked smile on his face. I shook my head, agreeing with him. “Don’t worry, you are safe with me. I have to keep you alive, can’t have my 400 million Euro worth secretary dying before she can even start” this is the most words as well as the sweetest thing that he has said to me since we have met. Even during the time when w
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“I have my own dresses you know,” I said politely even though I was irritated. I was irritated with everything, the very pretty bracelet that I had to wear which was actually a tracker, the rules of Stermytina, the fact that I had to wear an evening gown with flats because heels were not allowed on the marble floors. “Well, this is what Mr. Austin Hunter wants you to wear,” Grace said holding up a Barbie pink evening gown. “Well I hate that color and I would not wear that dress! It looks cheap! Did he get it from the dollar store?” I asked, my arms folded against my chest. “I don’t think that Mr. Austin Hunter would be very happy about that,” she said, holding the dress forward, suggesting that I take it from her. “Well, breaking news Grace! My happiness is far more important than his and I would not let him tell me what to wear” I said. “Very well Madam, I just hope that he does not
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Is that what you are going to wear for your first day?” Austin asked, he seemed disappointed with my grey and black check coat and matching skirt. “Yes, Why? What’s wrong with the outfit? I used to wear similar ones all the time when I went to my Dad’s company” I said, sitting opposite him for breakfast. Keith and Jake seemed completely uninterested in our conversation. “Well, I think that you must remember that this is not your father’s company and you are no longer the boss’s daughter because I am the boss now,” he said. “Mr.Hunter, I am well aware of that but what does that have to do with my outfit?” I asked him, smartly with a smile, my irritation ceased when I saw him get annoyed. I won’t lie and say that I did not feel a little bit of satisfaction for annoying him after he insulted my outfit. “Just get to the point Aus, her outfit is turning you on?” Jake jok
OLIVIA’S P.O.VDear DiaryI don’t like her, Belinda Cassidy. I know that it is wrong not to like someone just because they are with the person that you want, I was brought up better than that, I was taught better than that, yet I don’t like her. And it’s quite clear that she doesn’t like me either. Why does he even need a personal assistant when I literally did all the work by myself. I organized his meetings, made phone calls on behalf of him, sent out emails on his behalf, etc…what did she do? What does she even do? It really doesn’t look like she can do anything! Anyways that’s enough venting for today, I really hope that everything gets better. I haven’t spoken to my father since I left New York, it’s not like I am not trying but every time that I try to call him his phone goes on voicemail. I need to ask Dawn to check up on him, she is literally the only person I can count on…but I will do that to
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
