MARCUS POVA knock appeared on my door as I turned to go answer the door. I cursed at my luck as I was just about to go take a bath and now I had to deal with this one too. It was undeniably frustrating but it was something that I was used too.The knock became rather persistent that I had no choice but to leave what I was doing earlier and go attend to the person at the door. I opened the door only to see Gerald– He was my mist trusted guard especially when I moved here.I was confused because I knew that I certainly did not call for him, talkless of asking for his presence." Alpha Marcus," he greeted, with a slight bow showing me respect." You may rise," I urged him. He nodded in response and raised his head up to look at me.There was an indistinct silence between us which was odd because he was supposed to speak up rather than staying quiet." What do you want?" I finally asked, breaking the silence that was rather turning really awkward between us ." Your presence has been req
OLIVIA'S POV*A WEEK LATER*There was a lot of ruckus going on in the palace that I barely even had enough sleep. It was just so much and I looked at the alarm clock only to discover that it was just three am in the morning.This was the most annoying thing that I've ever felt before and I'm the type that loves to sleep with absolutely no disturbance in my sleep but this one just added to my headache.I took my phone which was in the drawer. I didn't know who to call but it appeared that there was a missed call on my phone. I checked the caller ID and discovered that it was none other than Lucien.Why would he be calling me by this time?I had lots of curiosity filled up in my mind, curious to know why he would be calling..I opened up my phone and realized that I had gotten about twelve messages from the trio. They had never been so worried about me.What was the need for change at the last minute?I was confused but decided to just go through the texts In Case there was need for my p
OLIVIA'S POVIt's been three days and throughout these past three days nothing replayed in my head more than the kiss that I shared with Lucien. I wasn't this struck when Lucas kissed me even though I couldn't deny that I liked it.There was just something rather different about him that made me only fall head over heels for him. He was such a different person from his brother's and even with the mix up, I still think that he's the one who helped me at the prom the other night.My heart was literally filled, my heart was filled with questions and also grasping for breath here because I haven't seen my brothers or heard from them for a week now.I was rather panicking but the only good news I've heard so far is that the rogues who are attacking seemed to have subsidized and they didn't attack as they did earlier on. It was rather confusing.It doesn't mean that we get rid of change because only God knows what those psychos are up to. It's obviously because they know that we're ready t
OLIVIA'S POVI dragged him out of the place and into the kitchen. I didn't care if everyone's eyes were on us but that didn't even matter to me right now because what was more was that he actually had the guts to come here and be my groom?He didn't even protest and followed me blindly to the kitchen. My head was boiling so much, my head was aching right now because I already had more than enough trouble and the only issue was that he was adding to it.I immediately slammed the door once we arrived at the kitchen. He opened his mouth to question him but I didn't even give him a chance to speak. I kicked him on the chin, making him in pain." What the hell? Why would you do that?" He asked, limping a little. I couldn't care less whether or not I had caused damage to him because he was not making things smooth for me right now ." What the fuck were you thinking? What's your plan? Do you want to become on the higher rank or what?" I was bombarding him with lots of questions and was not
LUCAS POVThe entire guards assembled as we all stood high and mighty waiting for the so-called rogues to lay their attack on us. I realized there and then that it's been a week now but there was no sign of them anywhere.We did our calculations well and made sure to stay post the day they would attack and now everything just seemed as if they sought or chickened out which doesn't sound like something they'd do one bit.Everyone was getting fed up even though I was getting fed up and displeased with this trick that they were trying to play on us. It was getting very annoying to a fault and to think that they would think of condoning this.Marcus arrived which was like the carrier of this entire plan. He was the one who started it anyway. We all wake up, people leaving their tents to go see him and hear what he has to say. We've been here for a week freaking plus, it's getting annoying." Alpha Marcus, welcome," one of the army greeted as we all surrounded him. He stood around us as we
OLIVIA'S POVThere was a sudden silence as everyone turned their gaze to the door. I was surprised to see that it was none other than alpha Marcus and a few other men. I was surprised just by seeing him thinking that he would be at the battle ground right now.I was taken aback because I thought that they would be there longer or perhaps return when the battle was finally over but I have heard no ounce of rumors which confirms that there was not a war going on.My eyes scanned through the troupe or men that aligned with their weapons and camp bag. I searched wearily in case I could find the trios but surprisingly there was no sign of them almost as if they weren't there with them.I didn't want to jump into inconclusive conclusions hoping that it was because the crowds were a lot which makes it harder for me to find them. My heart was beating fast, thoughts running through and fro in my head.Marcus assembled the group of men making them align in such prospective unison and the king w
LUCAS POVThere were sneers all around as I suddenly felt like someone's gaze was particularly fixed on me. It was weird to a fault but yet I didn't feel or see any need to open my eyes even though it's easy to detect that it's quite unsafe.I stirred in my sleep, trying to find a better solution but after what I had just experienced. I was feeling rather uncomfortable that even the bed in the tent suddenly felt like some kind of hard rock.My eyes slowly opened only to meet with a man– I could tell that he was a man due to his structural figure but I could also tell that he wasn't one of us making my biggest nightmare come to pass. I acknowledged it without any season.It was the rogues.My eyes moved around the tent but in a very distinctive way. I couldn't let them get the idea or grasp that I was going to attack and make them do something unimaginable.My thoughts were filled, wondering where my siblings could be or if they perhaps had gotten to them. The rogues didn't say a word
OLIVIA'S POVThey all stared at me in complete shock. Even I was starting to get afraid but I immediately buckled up trying to lace out all of my fears. I've killed half of the people around which makes it easier to deal with the rest.Lucas dragged me over to his side as a way to secure my safety. " What are you doing here?" He asked, bracing himself up for any fight. " Do you have any idea how dangerous this is?"I rolled my eyes at him because despite this situation, he still had the nerve to try and scold me which doesn't make any sense to make less. I couldn't even concentrate anymore." Can we worry about that later or is it until we get mauled?" I protested.He eyed me but immediately averted his attention back to the rogues who looked like they could kill us any minute. They were about three now which shows just how powerful I was.One attacked from behind but I immediately changed into my wolf form and mauled him, then injected him with the little wolfsbane that I had left.
