STELLA'S POVFear gripped me as I ran after the black car until my legs started hurting. Eyes kept looking at me but none cared to help out. I fell to the ground, not minding the cars that drove along the road, I just couldn't feel my breath anymore.Tears streamed down my cheek uncontrollably. What will I tell Alpha Rick? Going to the market with Olivia but returning to the pack alone. What excuse would I give to defend myself from this?Heaven knows I warned Olivia. I warned her but she didn't listen to me. I knew Madame Anna's purpose for sending her to buy her fruits wasn't a good one. And that was what Olivia was just so blind to realize.Olivia has the attitude of trusting people's words, and having a soft heart wasn't helping matters. Now look where it had gotten her to? Shit! Alpha Rick will definitely have me dead for sure.I managed to stand on my feet. I looked over at the fruit on the ground, I wanted to leave it but I had to take it with me as evidence to let Alpha Rick k

ANNA'S POVFor two days, he effortlessly searched for her and yet, she was nowhere to be found. It gladdened my heart that I could finally breathe fresh air without having to see Olivia, or know that she was somewhere in the pack house sharing the same air I breathed.These few days, Rick didn't say a word to me. He's been acting like I was a total stranger to him, more like I wasn't even existing in his life. I wouldn't deny the fact that it does hurt me, but what can I do? As long as Olivia is out of our lives, I'm pretty much cool with it.He just returned from another failed search, and he was heading for his room. "Why can't you give up, you can never find her. She's gone, Rick, for good."He turned to look at me. "No, she is not gone. She's somewhere within the pack, and I'll surely find her."I laughed. "It's been two days and yet, there's been no progress. What makes you think you'll find her?""Because I can feel her, I can sense she is alive. So, do whatever you want to do,

OLIVIA'S POVI was so stressed out that I didn't realize dozing off in his arms. The next thing I realized was waking up in his bed with his duvet covered around my body.I felt his fingers rubbing my cheeks as he pulled the strands of my hair to the side. Opening my eyes, I was welcomed with a smile and a pair of eyes that made me realize I wasn't dead after all.“Good morning.” He greeted, still having a smile on his face. “Don't tell me you've been staring at me throughout the night.”He shrugged his shoulders. “What can I say? I had to make sure you're safe.”My eyes caught with his wounds. “They aren't healing.” I sat up, trailing my fingers on it. He didn't move, he acted not to feel the pain of the deepness of the injury. “Does it hurt?”I looked at him, and he shook his head. “I don't feel pain.”“Why hasn't it healed then?”“Because I don't want it to.”“Come on, Rick, you can't just leave your injury open like this. What if you get infected? You realize you'll be endangerin

OLIVIA'S POV~ONE YEAR LATER~"Stay with me for a year and serve me faithfully, and I will set you free." I haven't forgotten that deal. And the funniest part is that we ended up falling in love with each other even before we got to half of the year. I thought he had forgotten about his deal not until he asked me. "I made you a deal, it's time I kept my words. It's your choice, Olivia. Do you wish to stay or leave? At this point, I won't stop you."But it was too late to go, especially now I was in love with him."I wish to stay with you for the rest of my life." "Olivia... You don't...""I already made up my mind the very day I fell in love with you, and I ain't going back on my words."*****However, Rick had been trying every means to get us married, but in one way or the other, fate kept playing games with us. It's either we get attacked by a rival pack, or Rick is called upon for an important meeting that would take about three to five days of his time.But all thanks to the p

OLIVIA'S POVExcitement bubbled within me like champagne fizzing in a glass. Today was the day I had dreamed of for a long time. It felt like eternity just to pass through yesterday to get today. I couldn't even get myself to sleep despite how hard I tried. Nature was there, but the excitement was boundless.I never thought I'd finally give into Rick, the man I've always hated since the day he took me in. I never even thought he'd end up loving me either. To be frank, all these still feel like a dream to me. I hate to admit, sometimes I feel guilty for taking Rick away from Anna, and most times I don't.Besides, she caused it all. If she hadn't been so nagging and pooky in my life, Rick wouldn't have grown fade up of her. He wouldn't have seen reasons to hate her. But then it's all done, and there is no changing the past. Today, it's gonna be Rick and I, the man who has captured my heart completely. I couldn't help but steal glances at the bridal gown, the expensive lace and shimmeri
