Third Person POV The power finally turns back on but the trouble remains. Olivia is beside herself in grief, in agony, as she weeps over the vessel of her brother’s dilapidated, sickly state. She can’t stop crying, even as the machines have finally come back on and his numbers are climbing back to normalcy, the mention of his unknown status earlier has her thinking the worst has happened already. Eugene stopped the doctor who said Reese’s body may bounce back, but his soul may have already left in the process of loosing the electricity that kept the machines running. Olivia couldn’t accept hearing this and has practically barricaded
Olivia’s POV With the power back on, the hospital is scrambling to readmit all the patients that needed help when the blackout occurred. I thought having the power on that Reese’s care would resume, but the overwhelming amount of injured wolves in the rogue attack and the wolves hurt from accidents in the blackout, Reese’s care has been pushed aside. For this reason, Eugene suggested bringing him back to Alpha Herold’s pack hospital, the amount of attention he would receive there overwhelming compared to how much he has gotten here. I settle in with the idea and curl up in a ball in Gabriel’s front seat, Eugene in the back with his broth
Olivia’s POV I feel no guilt for my choices. If anything, I walk around a little taller, a little more proud, with my head held high at the look of embarrassment and shock that crossed her features when I called her a name that she absolutely earned. I lean back in my chair sitting beside Reese who flitters aimlessly through the TV channels on the far wall. Gabriel wasn’t ecstatic with my behavior, or my crude nickname for Alicia, and his silence is heavy as he paces the floor nearby in the hallway. Herold is more than happy as he sits on the couch beside Reese, joking about the movies on the docket. Eugene is somewhere, changing into hi
Olivia’s POVI only shrug. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see things from his side. He was stupid and reckless and it got me and out unborn child killed. I want to stop him from thinking he will ever gain forgiveness, but I don’t stop him when he embraces me, his strong, crushing arms wrapping around me so gently that I have no other option but to sink into them willingly.The feeling of being watched is not lost on me though and I glance up to Reese’s floor, toward his window, seeing a sad, wounded physician in the glass with a sulking look of failure in his eyes that I can’t seem to understand.
Olivia’s POV“Gabriel,” I breathe, his voice sweet on my lips.“Fuck, my dear,” he groans, clenching my backside as he lifts me off the bed to continue his flapped hip movements, filling me and growing me with more and more ecstasy. He kisses my throat. “I love you, Luna.”I tilt my head back, feeling us both fall apart in perfect orgasm.My heads falls onto his shoulder, his hips trembling in aftermath, but the sight of Alpha Herold in the hallway is what suc
Olivia’s POVThe water is crystal clear and drips off of my swimsuit as I squish my toes in the sand and head for shore. My body is being pushed carelessly by the currant and I need a break with my new friend. Celine has spent most of her time on the beach towels, turning over back and forth like a flopping fish out of water—desperate for a honey-glow tan.I take a seat beside her, letting the sand attach to my wet body and tangling in my long, knotted hair. The sun kisses us both but I lower my sunglasses, threatening to take a nap out here, even while on this beautiful, secluded beach vacation.
Olivia’s POVGabriel stays stunned for a long moment; eyes heavy on my lips while they cease to move any further. I can see the pain in his eyes, in his tensile posture as he settles into his desk chair, hands folded over in his lap.“What happened on your trip, my dear? What has brought this one?”“Nothing,” I bite, a blatant lie. “Celine is going to stay until tomorrow. I just needed to have this talk with you tonight, Gabriel. Please.” I push the paper closer to him and he recoils at the sight of it. “You wanted this before. Just sign the paper.”“I don’t want a divorce, Queen Luna. You are my wife. We’ve been so much better to each other for the last month or so, I don’t want to throw that away. You’re mine.”“I’m not yours, Gabriel. I belong to no one, not anymore. I just want to finalize this divorce; I want to work on my charity and focus on Reese. I don’t need to be worried about if my husband wants to reject our pack and our status to go run off together in the woods somewher
Olivia’s POV“Please tell me you packed the silverware,” Celine groans.We are busy unpacking in our new apartment in the center of the Royal Pack city. I’m closer to the hospital than before, in the beating heart of a city whereas I just left the seaside palace of my dreams. I had to, though, and Gabriel will be furious when he finds out.He is taking the pack on a run and it seemed like as good as a time as any for Celine and I to make our move. We found this little apartment in a high rise on short notice. We pay a little extra a month now to ensure they d
