Olivia had been in this beautiful place for days.As much as her depression tried to drown her, the beauty of everything her eyes saw forced her out of her self-pity.She felt at home, even though she was living in one of the rooms of the inn in this rustic village lost in the woods and mountains. After a journey of days, they arrived here, a picturesque village with houses made of stone and wood, but although they looked rustic on the outside, they had all the comforts of modern life on the inside.It was not a poor or backward place at all, it had a lot of development, it just seemed that its inhabitants liked to be away from the world and curious strangers.She had been here for more than a week, and although Noah tried everything to get her to stay at John's house, she refused, insisting on staying at the inn.She felt that she had already upset her friend too much, that her madness had even put her in danger of being arrested as an accomplice.Dressed in blue jeans with a thermal

Lugh knew at the exact moment that his mate wanted to run away from him, he knew that his wolf form was very intimidating and aggressive, but he wanted her to know that he could never ever hurt her, that they would die for her."Stop, you're scaring her," Lucian warned, for he could already feel the woman's pulse racing with fear and her pupils dilating in horror.It was no less than that, a wolf appeared out of the darkness, a wolf that reached up to her waist and desperately wanted to eat her, although not in the way she was thinking at the moment.Sure, Olivia was terrified, but it was her fault for being stupid, nature was very beautiful, but also wild. She was just a skinny weakling and didn't think it was possible to run back to the inn unharmed. Nevertheless, she had no choice. She turned and started to flee from the pursuing predator, leaving the blanket behind.Of course, she didn't get very far.She felt the huge wolf begin to chase her, as if it were playing with its dinn

Olivia did not stop for a second to analyze the situation, feeling that if she took a single breath, she would relive the nightmare of losing a little girl's life right in front of her eyes.Everything appeared in slow motion to her eyes, but it happened in mere seconds.At the moment she hugged the surprised girl, carrying her with the clear idea of fleeing the place, she felt an arrow pass through, wounding her arm superficially.She hissed at the painful sensation, but she wouldn't stop because her life and that of this unknown girl depended on it.Olivia shielded her small head against her chest and began to run desperately, trying to get into the shelter of the forest, knowing full well that she was no match for a grown man with a gun, praying for a miracle so that she could survive.She heard the hurried footsteps of the man behind her, coming much closer to her position.Olivia managed to reach the shelter of the tall trees, and several times she felt the arrows pass by her at

Olivia opened her eyes and her eyelids felt like they weighed tons. Her eyes were obviously swollen from the bruises, and despite the good medicine, it wasn't as if it worked magic right away. She felt as if she had been asleep for an eternity and surely, after the blackout and with her mind out of control, Lucian had finally put her to sleep so that she could recover and have more time to prepare the explanation she would surely demand.Olivia lifted her body a little from the huge bed in which she slept, looking around the darkened room through the slit of her open eyes, barely able to see anything because of the heavy curtains that blocked the natural light from the windows. She barely noticed that the wounds on her hands and arms were bandaged and her face was swollen and sore, but not to an unbearable point, someone had given her first aid.Then fragments of the unbelievable events of the last few hours came to her numb mind, which was already awakening from the lethargy of sl

Suddenly, a soft knock on the door snapped Olivia, out of her foolish thoughts. Opening it, she found the little girl with the blonde curls looking at her with innocent blue eyes that melted Olivia's soul. -Hello Miss, are you all right now? - she asked in her childish voice, hugging a stuffed bunny in her arms. -I feel fine little girl, and you, were you really scared? - Olivia asked in turn, bending down to Ophelia's level and gently touching her hair. Knowing that this little girl was very different from what she thought she was didn't really affect Olivia's warm feelings for her at all. To Olivia, she was just an innocent little girl in need of protection and care. Ophelia told her she was fine, Olivia took the opportunity to tell her about the dangers of going out alone and running away, they were in a friendly exchange when the housekeeper arrived. -Ophelia, I didn't tell you to wait for me so that we could get together, girl, what am I going to do with you, you're
