Bree's POV“You messed me up,” he said between gritted teeth, making me perplexed.“Hey, calm down. Are you okay?” I asked, waving my hands at his face.He drew closer to me.“You messed me up! Messed everything up! Why did you have to involve me in your worthless plans??” He snarled and I scoffed.“And what are you talking about? How did I mess you up?” I asked.“You shouldn’t have come to me in the first place. Because of your plans, everything became worse. And right now, Olivia detests me and wouldn’t even talk to me anymore”.I huffed and batted my lashes.“Well, you have to give it some time, and Jaden. Can’t you see the plan’s working out? Very soon, we’ll…”“Are you kidding me?” He cut me off.“What f**king plan is working? Do you know how close my brother and Olivia have become? Haven’t you seen the headlines? He dropped her off at college this morning!”My mouth dropped wide open immediately.What?He paused and ran his fingers into his hair.“You ruined everything, Bree. An
Olivia's POVI was stunned and curious but still didn’t blink my eyes.Then, I heard him open the door and walk out and that was when I slowly opened my eyes.First, I checked to see what he dropped and noticed a little wrapped item on the bed beside me.I picked it up and wondered what it was.Surprisingly, on the body was boldly written:“Step Outside”Huh?My face crinkled up in surprise as I stared at the package. I felt it and heard a little chiming sound.But why does he want me to step outside?I stood up from the bed immediately and left the room, walking downstairs. Well, it said, “Step Outside”.I walked past the quiescent sitting room and got out to the balcony.Okay; now, I’m outside.Then, what?I looked around, but the balcony was empty and quiet.Then, I decided to open the wrapped stuff. And when I did, it was…What?Isn’t this…A car key?I scoffed and stared at it in dismay.Then, I pressed the button on the remote control and heard a car beep immediately with a flas
Chapter Eighty-nineOlivia's POV She scrawled her eyes at me as I entered and I ignored her and took Paige to the room. “Oh…my…gee! Don’t tell me this is the room you share with Our Alpha?” She asked backed as we entered the bedroom. Well, what do you think?’ I shrugged. “Oh, Olivia! It's super cool! It looks just like a King’s bedroom!” She exclaimed and I laughed and sat on the bed. “Did you see that?’ She asked and rushed over to the table which had some money kept on it. “Is this how carelessly he leaves his money? This money is capable of taking a normal family to a whole new level!” I laughed again. This girl’s such a drama queen. “Seriously Olivia, how do you feel staying in this room with someone like Alpha Kurt? You’re so lucky, girlfriend. I wish I were born in your place” she squeaked and I rolled my eyes at her. Then, she went over to his wardrobe. “Is this his?” She asked, her hands already placed on it. “Move away from there, Paige. Don’t play with that” I warn
Kurt's POVI woke up the next morning, feeling a little giddy. Did it feel like going for my morning run and besides the sun was already up?I attended a business party and had some drinks. But, urgh! What to do? I needed to get ready for an appointment.I looked at the bed and my pretty lady beside me was still sleeping. I hope she doesn't forget that we have a lot to do tonight.During the fool moon, her father's body will be cremated by the council. The elders of our clan and she must stay there until it is turned into ashes.Then under the full moon, she will carry her father's ashes while naked and enter into the deeper side of the goddess's river, where she will stay until the sun rises.I left the bed and went out of the room, going downstairs.I got to the dining and discovered the maids were still setting breakfast.Geez! They weren’t even done yet.I turned around and went to the kitchen. I couldn’t tell why I felt so much hungry that morning.I entered the kitchen and loo
Alpha Kurt's POV.The ritual commenced as the elders of our clan encircled the burning flames of Si. Gregory's cremating corpse.I stood behind them, with Olivia standing right in front of me. I could tell by the aura enveloping her, that with every single breath she took the weight of the burden she bore in her heart...Her vigor seemed to be marking down and her heartbeat was fluttering.I tried to touch her, but couldn't. Even though she was right in front of me.I tried to connect and communicate with her through our link but at each attempt, she had blocked me out of her mind.Although she might feel like I don't understand what she must be going through, I do. I knew very well what it feels like when you lose the ones you love, and the fear of not being able to see them again.Each of my parent's demises was more painful than the first.Despite the heat from the burning flames, her heart felt so cold even from the distance I stood. I could sense the chills on her skin.*****I
Olivia's POVMy father held my hands tightly with tears running down his eyes." Daughter, I am so sorry for all you had to go through because of my past decisions. I wasn't the best father to you my love..."" No, no. Dad. Please don't say that. You are the best father. My father! My mentor. You are everything that I want and need in life."" Dear, you door know what your father had done. I have made so many mistakes in my life my dear, I tried to fix them, I tried to make amends for all my sins but unfortunately, my sins finally caught up with me, my daughter."He pulled away from me and started towards the exit." Dad please, stop don't leave me!" I ran up to him and held his hand." I will never leave you, Olivia. I am with you and will always be. You and I will never be apart, our hearts are connected. You are my daughter and I am your father. " he began coughing nonstop and suddenly his mouth was filled with blood." Father, what's wrong? I think You are a poisoned dad." I said
Paige's Pov:I know that my best friend was going through the toughest moments of her life.Losing the only family you have is the worst thing I believe could happen to anyone.I promised myself that I would do everything in my power to always make her feel alive and be the family she needs whenever she was with me.“So, you mean our alpha Kurt passed the first two tests?” I asked as we sat next to each other in the class.“Yes, Paige. And it's so shocking. It’s happening as though he was reading my mind, as I told him about them. Or could it be possible he overheard us when we were discussing it? Or perhaps he read my mind again?” Olivia asked.“Of course not, Olivia. Remember he wasn’t even at home when I left. And it's not as if he has the time to start reading your mind."“Gosh! Then does it mean Kurt and I are really meant for each other? He’s just passing the tests without stress”.“Hm. Anyway, he still has one more to go – getting you the gold-colored necklace. But are you seri
Olivia's POVI opened the box and my eyes met with a dazzling necklace flashing sparkle into my eyes.Oh, Goddess!It was silver!I sighed heavily and plonked myself on the bed.My eye drooped.I stared keenly at it to be sure, but it wasn’t changing into any other color. It was real.He got me a silver colored necklace, instead of gold.Oh, geez!I kept the necklace on my lap and buried my face in my palm.This was meant to be the last test. It was so close. What then happened?Oh, Gosh!Does that mean we’re not meant for each other? But he passed the first two. Why did he have to fail the last one?Why a silver necklace instead of gold?*****I woke up the next morning, feeling kinda weak.Kurt left home very early even before I finished taking my bath. He said he had an important schedule.I had breakfast and left for school and on my way to class, I bumped into the school jerk – Dylan. Geez! I had almost forgotten someone like him existed in this Clan.“Hey, Gorgeous ” he called a
