- Calm down baby, calm down Olivia please, you are safe, no one can hurt you, I will protect you darling, please come back to me, please...Lucian repeated with infinite patience and affection to the woman who was screaming and crying inconsolably in her bed, hugging her to comfort her and protect her from the ghosts that attacked her between dreams.Unable to rest, he waited until she was asleep to sneak into her room and make sure she was okay.Olivia slept curled up in a small ball on the bed, a pillow hugging her stomach, her long lashes still wet and it was obvious that she had been crying.It broke their hearts to see her so vulnerable, so fragile, so broken.They wanted to give her everything, they would give their lives so she wouldn't suffer.Lucian wanted to face all the things that hurt her, just to see her smile, not realizing that one of the things that hurt her most was his indecision.Olivia frowned, seemingly in the middle of a bad dream, but no matter how much he trie
John signaled to the other warriors.They had been lurking on the outskirts of the cabin since early morning, and it was already dawn. No sign of the hunters.It was all suspicious and his inner wolf was too restless.If Lucian were here, everything would be different and they would be more confident, or at least the Alpha of his pack, who loved to give orders but never put himself in the front line of a fight.Neither he nor his son.They began to approach slowly, always on the lookout for traps, using their sense of smell, but with the new tricks the hunters had, they wouldn't necessarily be able to detect them.John crouched in the corner of the window and peered through the glass into the interior."John, what are we waiting for, there seems to be no one in the cabin," he heard the voice of one of the youngest of the group, almost a cub, who had turned 18 only a few moons ago."Don't get impatient, there might be traps set, some of you stay on the periphery and watch, and others w
Olivia found Noah in a room where family members of the injured were waiting for good or bad news.As Olivia walked through the door and toward where she had located her friend, the room suddenly erupted in commotion.Olivia took a step back, half frightened, as all the women began to approach her, crying and begging her to intervene with the Ancient One to save their family members.Ancient Moon, they called him, and Olivia didn't understand the situation.She told them that Lucian was doing his best, that they shouldn't worry, that there was nothing she could really do, but that didn't seem to convince them.It started with one person kneeling and then all the women followed, crying and asking Olivia to do things she couldn't.Who was she to order Lucian to do anything?Why was she called Ancient Moon?Overwhelmed by the intensity of the situation, she turned and almost ran away, afraid of being followed.She would have to see how to get to Noah.- Olivia! - She felt Noah calling he
Even though Lucian had washed many times, the smell of blood and death permeated the small room.He was resting on a bed, but as soon as he smelled Olivia's scent, he opened his eyes and sat up with difficulty.He was extremely weak, he had given more blood than he should have, but he could not let anyone die, not while he could help it, not these brave warriors who defended everyone and risked their lives for the pack.- Olivia, what are you doing here, this is too uncomfortable to watch, you shouldn't....- I came to beg you to please save John- she said, cutting his words short, with a knot in her heart and an immense desire to cry now that she was looking at him face to face.- I, I don't have much to offer you, I know it's very selfish of me to ask you this when there are more wounded from your pack- I can only beg you, I will do whatever you want as long as you save him, I will leave this land right now and you will never see me again.Lucian was completely shocked and Lugh how
Lugh felt every step he took away from his mate, it was unbearable, his mate rejected him, she didn't want him and the bond would break.Lugh couldn't stand it, he was completely freaking out, letting out all his pain and howling desperately for her, but Olivia couldn't hear him, she didn't even have the temporary mark.It was all Lucian's fault, he hated him and hated being tied to him.Lucian fell to the ground clutching his chest, Lugh was tearing him apart from the inside, the balance between the two of them was breaking, he had to go after Olivia, they couldn't let her go, life without her was unbearable, he didn't know how he ever thought about it.A fine mist crept under Lucian's bedroom door.Nagy should take her chance to kill the Elder, the Alpha had told her that he would be too weak from giving blood to the warriors who had fallen into his ambush.Nagy's stomach turned at the betrayal of this Alpha, she could be anything, but she would never do such a thing to her clansmen
Alexander turned his head to see a huge wolf, straight out of a horror movie that portended death.He tried to grab Olivia's hand to run away together, but she kept screaming at him to run, that she was safe, that she was coming for him.But Alexander couldn't leave her at the mercy of a wild animal, he would lose her again.When he awoke from his coma looking for her, his father angrily told him that his wife's had done that to him, but Alexander didn't believe it, they loved each other, they had only recently married.Then he discovered to his horror that it had been years, almost 8 years that they had been married and he barely remembered anything.He learned that he had been unfaithful to Olivia.His same assistant had sent him to take some photos, which she then sent her as anonymous and Olivia had an accident because of it, lost her son and would never be a mother again.Alexander understood that she hated him, but he was determined to get her back.He couldn't find her, she was
Olivia finally stayed in a small house that the Alpha of the pack, very kindly, offered her, without having to pay rent or anything else.It was within the pack's protection area, but not in the center of town.Olivia preferred it that way.She was a little embarrassed because she thought she was overstepping the line and abusing the hospitality, but the Alpha Luca explained to her that the house was still in good condition, but unoccupied, and that it was for when guests from other herds came.Olivia finally accepted it.She knew very well that everyone's new behavior was due to the fact that she was the supposed mate of her Ancient.She dropped the false modesty and incidentally asked Lucian's assistant to bring her things from the mansion.The little house was very cozy, well furnished and even with its own little independent patio, to raise animals or to grow plants.The only thing that continued to shock her a little was so much servility.Before, she even felt the hostility of s
- From now on, everything that happens in the pack has to be reported to me, no decision will be taken if I am not present, is that clear? - Lucian said to Alpha Luca.He had been very involved in his affair with Olivia, but that didn't mean he didn't realize that he could no longer delegate anything to the Alpha of the pack.When Luca left his office, which Lucian had moved to the main building in the middle of town to be closer to Olivia, he called Morgan.- Ancient, this is the list of the warriors who went to investigate the cabin, the ones in red were the ones who died- his assistant informed him and Lucian closed his eyes with tiredness and regret, for the promising young lives that had been lost.Even a boy who had barely come of age.His mother was devastated.He asked Luca on what basis he had sent these warriors, why he singled them out specifically, but the Alpha told him there was no particular reason, he just thought they were the most suitable.All his decisions were med
