Once the confession left her lips, Olivia wasn't sure what she feared more: the possibility of making Logan angry or him sending her back to Noah. Though Logan looked like a good man, she couldn't tell if he had any ulterior motives when it came to her. All her life, Olivia had to be careful around people and hide her identity so that no one would think of using her against her parents. But then again, Logan knew who she was, and it didn't look like he needed more money than he had, so Olivia dared to assume he wouldn't act like this was some kidnapping case. Come to think of it, that was something she had to find out: how did Logan know who she was? Her parents had a habit of hiding her because of her unique looks, so there weren't many people who knew Olivia existed. Logan had an expression on his face that Olvia couldn't read, yet when he muttered 'so that's why', she had to question him. "Logan, may I ask how you know who I am? And what's why?" Olivia raised an eyebrow but t
Landon led the way as his son followed in his footsteps. The old Alpha knew he had little to no power over the pack and his son after he handed down the title, but this wasn't a matter of power play. There was no way he would measure dicks with his son to decide which one of them was more powerful or wiser. Landon could bet his head on one thing: his son was a competent and reasonable Alpha. Logan didn't utter a word. He knew better than to confront his father out in the open. The hospital wasn't the right place to start something none wanted to finish, so both men had only one goal in mind- the office. And as they got closer, Logan couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong. Though he tried to guess what it might be, Logan didn't believe the issue could be pack-related. No matter how desperately he tried to grasp on anything but Olivia's involvement in the issue his father might discuss, Logan couldn't. His father hadn't been acting like himself since Olivia
"You can resign from your position as the Beta once we get back home," Noah announced with zero emotions lacing his words. Enzo stood behind him while Anne gaped at him in panic. Noah was sure both of them expected he would blow up and go absolutely bonkers, but he didn't, which was why the tension between them was thick enough to be cut before their eyes. Anne shifted her weight on her feet, acting as if Noah's emotionless gaze burned her skin, but he didn't care. His aunt, the only sibling of his dead mother, had chosen where her loyalty stood, and it wasn't where it should be. As harsh as the words sounded in his mind, Noah had to voice them before he lost the courage. "You're out, Anne. For good." His aunt gulped as her eyes widened. She didn't need more explanations of what he meant, but Anne didn't expect Noah would go that far. Yet, then again, she didn't expect he would fly to England in hopes of finding Olivia either. "You can't," she whispered, trying to catch on his b
Logan turned out to be everything Olivia thought he wasn’t. Never, not even once, did he make her feel less than she was or like she wasn’t welcome. The Alpha made it his point to stay close to Olivia while she had to stay in the hospital. It seemed a little ridiculous how one wrong move had landed her under such intense care. However, after two full days under the careful observations of the hospital staff, Olivia was allowed to leave the hospital premises. Though she was excited about that, she had no idea where she would go after. It wasn’t like she didn’t have a home. She did, but the only home Olivia would agree to return to was in England. Sure, she could ask Logan to drive her to the nearest airport, but something in her gut kept nagging that it wouldn’t work. If Noah had already gone to England, she couldn’t know if he left or if he made sure some of his men were there, expecting her arrival. The pack? Ha, that was the last place anyone would see her ever again. The odd t
Was he serious? Did Logan just ask Olivia, who technically was supposed to be his enemy, to the biggest event of the year among shifters?Olivia glared at Logan as if he grew another head before her eyes. He had to understand how outrageous his request sounded, right?Besides, of all things he could offer, this had to be the one she didn’t want to acknowledge. How did he expect her to attend an event where she would meet the very man who had caused so much hurt?Anyone could call her a coward for as much as she cared, but Olivia didn’t want to face Noah. Not in this life or others. She shook her head. “I know I came across as a real brat earlier, but if you thought I would do something like that, you must understand that you have another thing coming for you. I’m trying to escape Noah, not jump in his arms. Not happening, sorry.” Logan observed her while Olivia braced herself for another line of questions or attempts to talk her into attending the event, but to her surprise, he shru
Logan furrowed his brows at Olivia. His eyes searched her until she couldn’t take the heat of his gaze, groaned and looked at the confused Alpha. The moment their eyes met, something inside Olivia moved. It was a brief moment which appeared as soon as it faded, but she hoped that it could have lasted a little longer. At least enough for her to understand the foreign feeling. “What do you mean by rank-less? I haven’t forgotten everything you told me, and I get that you weren’t Black’s biological daughter, but this doesn’t make sense. Everyone has ranks.” Logan crossed his arms in front of his chest as if he was trying to prove a point. Olivia wasn’t surprised by his reaction in the slightest. Whatever bit of her life she could remember, everyone who learned the bitter truth didn’t believe her. “That’s exactly what I mean,” Olivia muttered, far too determined to prove her truth. She didn’t understand the urge to prove him right. Logan was nothing but the rival pack Alpha. Yes, he w
Olivia didn’t dare to protest or say anything as she followed the older Alpha. Maybe Logan was angry at her because of the disrespect she showed him? No one in their right mind turned their back on an Alpha and walked away. But then again, Olivia proved she wasn’t in her right mind because she had done the same thing two times in a row. First, she made a mistake by turning her back to Noah and now Logan. Whatever might be the punishment or consequences of her actions, she was ready to face them as anyone would. A part of her expected Landon to lead her back to the cells, so when he stepped outside the packhouse and headed towards a clearing, curiosity filled her mind. What was he up to now?They walked in silence until they got closer, and Olivia noticed their pack members gathering in the clearing. She furrowed her eyebrows, and Landon had to have the ability to read her mind because he answered her question before Olivia could ask it. “Our pack has a different structure than o
Landon couldn’t believe his eyes, and maybe he looked ridiculous standing aside and rubbing his eyes like a madman, but the view didn’t change no matter how hard he tried to shake himself up. From the moment he saw the girl in his office, he knew something had to be up with her. Olivia Black was no ordinary wolf, and he’d be damned if he let anyone tell him otherwise. It wasn’t only about her looks, the exact replica of something he had heard only horror stories about, but her aura seemed off. She had an aura, yes, but hers was empty, void, and cold. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t wrap his finger around who she was and why Olivia didn’t give off any hint of her place in the pack. That is until Logan told his father about her confession. What didn’t make any sense was the horror, shock, and pure fear in Olivia’s eyes as she crawled away from Williams. The pack cheered for her because, holy shit, they had never seen someone take down an opponent half as quick as Olivia h
