OLIVIAAfter watching that horrendous display of pure violence labeled as entertainment for the demon spawn that lived in this pack, Nathaniel disappeared. It had been three days since I last saw him; all the while, I was forbidden to leave the manor. Whenever I tried to exit this god-forsaken place, the guards would either follow me to the gate before telling me to turn around or they would simply stop me at the door.Two days ago, I tried to sneak out, but I only got to the front of the gate before someone smacked me over the head, and I woke up in our room.Lady Lockheart and her husband were away as well; that was a win, I guess. When roaming the halls of the manor was the only form of excursion I was allowed, I took it to the next level; peaking my head in every room, wandering the corridors to map out every exit— not that there were many— until I had seen every inch of the right wing.One room caught my curiosity the most; it was the only locked door I could find. Here I was, on

NATHANIELSeeing Everett that close to Olivia had me questioning whether I truly had control over my wolf.Why the fuck was he insisting on pushing my limits? I really couldn’t be held responsible for the outcome if I were to kill him because he crossed a line. Not anymore.Then she told me that she’d been screaming some other fucker’s name. I coiled my fingers when I met up with one of my best friends on the left-wing staircase and handed him Olivia’s file.”Find everyone she’s been in contact with over the last three years.” I said. In response, he raised a brow like I was manic.”What do I do with them?””Ask them if they’ve fucked her. If the answer is yes, you kill them.” I stated. It wasn’t that fucking hard.”If they don’t answer me? People aren’t exactly prone to speaking to us.”Peering into his eyes, they subtly shifted into an understanding.”Make them answer.”After three days away from Olivia, I didn’t care to be away from her for another second, but duty called like a fu

OLIVIAFlames licking my skin, peeling it off inch by inch until ultimately the pain forces my body to give in sounded better than being in this god-forsaken town. Except it wasn’t; apparently, these were God's favorite people. Never in my twenty-one years had I seen someone enjoying an ice cream cone under the sun without lingering fear that at any moment someone could show up to paint the streets with their blood.They were sheltered, protected, living with the tyrants that everyone else feared.Would I have been this relaxed had this been my reality?I hope not. Part of me hoped that I would still see the evil in the calm, the chains of reality that you thought were safe, but once you rip them off, you’d be just as dead as everyone else.Enter the man who’s responsible for all of it. Standing on the street leading up to the manor, Nathaniel approached behind me. A scent that had captivated me the first time I met him, one that I couldn’t scrub the fuck off of me no matter how hard

OLIVIAA long silence followed. Honestly, I saw this going differently; maybe he’d share something personal, and then I would go. Instead, the bed creaked under him as he rose. Why was it that he had to look like a freaking tank?It seemed like the Lockhearts were all muscle, not unusual for werewolves, but this was different. Arms that looked like they could snap your neck and standing at two meters tall, Nathaniel had earned his reputation not just by action but because when he towered over you, you knew your days were numbered.”You were hidden,” I said after his third step. The way he was walking, prowling, watching, while I sat still beneath his gaze, was freezing my spine.At least my statement stopped him from approaching me. The air in here was suffocating, like we were both waiting for the other to lunge.”Shielded,” he corrected. ”Holding power comes with many threats. Not everyone took to me kindly as the heir of the Lockheart pack.” Alpha Nathaniel, everyone hates your gut
