CHAPTER 26: CAUGHT BETWEEN WOLVES

Olivia’s POV...

It got even worse, the next morning, the house was filled with people and not only that Luca is not in sight, he is hiding something from me.

Last night, we shared something different; I saw him in a way I didn’t think I would ever see him in that way, he was not weak, I feel he is even more stronger by showing me a part of him, by showing me what it was like and by showing me a side of him that I never thought I would ever see.

His eyes is filled with pain and sorrow, there are things he is hiding, things that he has not told anyone and I feel he is scared or even let anyone know about those things, the more I recall it; the more I realized, this is not the monster that I was told about, this is someone else.

I never stopped thinking about the kiss that we shared, I never stopped thinking about the way he stared at me and the ends, nothing ever goes well in my life; he had to leave, the way he left, the last time he stared at me I could tell that, there is something wrong; his eyes held fear.

If the alpha is scared then we should all be, we need to be scared.

I settled in the living room, waiting to find out what could be happening, I have not seen ares too, what did he get when he picked up that call, does it have anything to do with the envelop, did it have everything to do with me, why did he fele the need to protect me so much.

I fele a connection between us and that scared me, I don’t enjoy the fact that, I am only trying to figure things out and right now it feels like I may have figured out a little bit of it, I don’t like the fact that o feel for him, o feel like he and reasons for what he has done.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I saw some of the guards walking into the house, the letter from yesterday still lying on my nightstand, I don’t know if I wanted to listen to it, go there.

It didn’t feel right, it felt wrong maybe if last night didn’t happen, it would have been better, someone wants to help me out of the house. And the thought of that scared me.

Yes, I want to leave, yes I also want to stay to figure things out here I don’t want to leave like this, I don’t want to leave this way, I don’t want someone to help me, someone I don’t even know; who is to say the person is not bad? Who is to say it’s not someone who hates me?

After the encounter with Stanley, I realized that. There are many persistent didn’t want me to be here, who want me gone just like he did, and this letter, could be one of them If someone can betray their Alpha, go behind his back, and try to take away someone, that person can not be trusted.

I glanced across the area again and this time I headed pumps in the room; and I headed into the kitchen when I heard whispers, my breath hitches as I moved closer to it.

"They won’t hurt you, Olivia, nothing is ever going to happen to you," I mumbled before I headed out to the place, I headed toward the other side and into the small space so I would be able to listen to what they had to say.

"The alpha is going a lot for her and this is just going to get bad." I heard one of them speak, like I always felt, they don’t want me with him, no one would want their alpha with an omega, someone who is not strong and has no idea how to defend herself.

I stared across the area and I pressed my ears against the little window, I had hoped I would be able to hear more than just what they said the first time.

"Do you think he is going to save them?" One of them asked again. Save who? Who does he need to save?

The way it sounded, it felt like it had to do with me.

"It’s her fucking family, I think he will, remember he invited them in for dinner and well I heard it didn’t go too well, I don’t think he will let her family die."

"I think he will, he asked the men to let things go and focus on other things." The other one spoke and my breath hitches.

Rebecca. Aria and my father are in danger, I didn’t even want to hear anymore; I heard enough, I felt my heart beating against my chest, I know I hate them but it doesn’t mean I would want them to die, it doesn’t mean that I would want them to be killed. They can die but not at my expense, not because of me.

I need to figure out what is happening, I need to figure out what could be taking place, and the details of this.

I wasted no time in heading toward his office, I could see some men standing in front of it, it either meant he didn’t trust me not to snoop again or rather, he was in there.

"The Alpha is busy."

"I need to speak to Luca." I spoke, I felt a wave of anger over me, "You need to let me in."

"He is in a meeting." I don’t think I care about that, I don’t think I even wanted to listen to what he has to say, I didn’t care about any of that and all I wanted right now is to have a conversation with him.

"You are going to let me in and you will tell your friend not to touch me, nor even think about coming close to me because you know what will happen if you come close to me," I asked, I didn’t want to threaten them but this can’t wait, I need to know what is going on, I need to know what is happening.

Everyone is aware of what happened to Stanley; what is it if another wolf hates me again, I just need to be very part of it.

They stared at each other as if they were talking and I realized that contact before they moved away from the door.

——-

"Leave." Luca spoke the moment he saw me walk into the room, "Not you Olivia." He spoke again and my breath hitches, he had no idea what I wanted to talk to him about and his men and Ares didn’t look happy about it.

"You better have a great reason for interrupting my meeting" He spoke again the moment they headed out of the room.

I stared at him for a second before I breathed out.

"My family, what happened to them?" I asked and he stared at me, in a second, he was up and he took go strides towards me and as if I didn’t have any control of my body, I found myself standing there, I didn’t know what to say to him.

"How do you know?" He asked and I stared at him, unable to even speak a single word, My eyes filled with emotions, so it’s they, they are in trouble and he is not going to help them

"It doesn’t matter."

"I am not going to ask again, and if I find out my way, it’s not going to be great and I have a feeling you know that. So who did you know there was something wrong with your family?" He asked again, his tone low and I could feel my wolf hiding, shielding herself from him; he intimidated me.

"You are going to hurt them if I tell you, promise me you won’t."

" I can’t do that, you tell me or I will find out my way and I have a feeling you know who they are; you just heard them didn’t you, you heard what happened, someone must have said it, they told someone or discussed it between each other."

If he is behaving like this, how will he react when he finds out that someone what’s e to leave the house, someone wants to help me, if he would burn the whole house just to find that person, it’s a secret I would have to keep to myself.

"Two guards, I didn’t see their face; I just listened in on their conversation and I came here the moment I heard enough, I didn’t want to listen to anyone and all o wanted to do was have a conversation with you, so tell me."

He didn’t speak; it’s like he is calculating, thinking hard about who could have talked about this.

"Your family has been kidnapped and I am not helping." He spoke and my breath hitches.
