AUSTIN’S P.O.V
“Mum! What happened?” I asked, running to comfort her along with Keith. “He- H -He” she tried to speak but couldn’t stop sobbing. “Who are you talking about, Mum? What has happened? Calm down! Please calm down! Chole, go and get a glass of water for my mother” I ordered one of the servants who was around. She hurried into the kitchen and came back after a few minutes. “Here mum, take a sip” I took the water from Chole and handed it over to my mum. Drinking some of the water, she calmed down enough to speak.
“What happened?” Keith and I both asked at the same time. “Your father is not thinking straight at all. He- he- he has turned your brother Jake against you, son” she said, sobbing some more. “What do you mean?” I asked, startled by the news that my own father would be against me. “He wants to take you out from your position and give it to Jake because

CHAPTER 39: MUM'S DIARY
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI was bored in the mansion and that was not good because the only thing that I could think of is all the food that I wanted to eat. Luckily the chef that helped me to prepare my pasta kept it a secret but I am afraid that if I keep on asking her to prepare this dish and that dish then she might eventually get annoyed and tell Cariso. I needed something to occupy myself with and discovering the secrets which are hidden so well in these walls are more than enough to keep me occupied for the whole day.Putting on a pair of socks to keep the sound of my feet light, I snuck out of my room once again. Casually going into the kitchen for a glass of water, I made a mental note of where all of the servants were and what they were doing. Knowing well that the coast is clear and that none of them will be going to the second storey of the house anytime soon, I made my way up to the passage where the granite table was.I pushed with all my strength and t
CHAPTER 40: DIARY ENTRIES
OLIVIA’S P.O.V I didn’t bother sneaking around today as I had a whole book to read. I took a warm shower, had my breakfast, and then sat down with my mother’s diary. I couldn’t wait to learn more about her and that to from her own words. I was amazed with her life and how well she wrote. Her writing was truly intriguing. I read for about an hour from the morning and finally, I reached the interesting part. So another shocker is that my mum was not just a wolf but she was the daughter of an alpha. But it only gets more interesting from there… “Dear Diary, today I turned 18 and there was a grand ball held for me. I was expected to find my mate today but I didn’t even though my father had invited 18 packs to my ceremony. I think that my parents were so impressed with my wolf when I shifted for the first time that they didn’t bother that I didn’t find my mate as yet. But it bothers me greatly. I really wanted to find him tonight, I have been looking so for
CHAPTER 41: A PLAN FOR TWO
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI need to escape from here and go back to Stermyer. I know that Austin is most probably looking from me but how would he even know where to look? I need to get back to him. I am sure that he would not turn me away. I would not get anywhere by sitting in this room. The room that I discovered earlier had a passage leading to somewhere. Maybe it is a secret way out of this place, I should go and check it out. The longer I stay here the more my life is in danger.I sneaked into the secret passage that I found my mother’s belongings in. Constantly I looked behind me, making sure that there was no one following me. After the little room where I found my mother’s belongings the tunnel went on, it was dark and creepy. I used my phone light to brighten up my passage and went through the tunnel. A person like me who suffers from arachnophobia had to really be brave and needed to be encouraged to go on along the passage, but fortunately for me, I
CHAPTER 42: LOCKED AWAY
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI went to the secret room around the time that Susan and I agreed to meet. However, she was not there. I waited for a few minutes but there was no sign of her coming. I waited a bit longer and she still didn’t arrive, I was getting worried and impatient at the same time. Maybe she is just going to be a little late, maybe she is still getting the hammer. I couldn’t wait longer anymore, if someone sees me here they will get suspicious.I made my way down to the dining room for lunch, Cariso will be waiting for me since it’s the weekend and he is at home. “Hi, I didn’t see you down for breakfast,” I said to him when I saw him at the table. “Yes, I didn’t have much of a breakfast today. Instead, I chose the healthier option and decided to go for a jog and just have coffee” he answered, his voice was low and I sensed that something was wrong. “Is everything okay?” I asked, the housekeeper
CHAPTER 43: ALEXIS
OLIVIA’S P.O.VI couldn’t believe what happened…well…it was all expected from Cariso but my nails and the growl that escaped my lips was mind blowing. I was more than shocked, I was a bit afraid but more curious. I was also amazed about how well my eyes adjusted to the darkness, almost as if I had night vision so something.“Olivia, can you hear me?” I heard the voice again. “Who are you?” I spoke back to the voice for the first time. “I’m Alexis, your wolf,” it said. “My wolf?” my eyes widened with shock. “Yes Olivia, you are not human but a werewolf like your mother. However, it took me a lot of strength and time to be able to communicate with you like I am doing now. Being in Stermyer helped me, but when you came here, to our home, I regained all of my strength. On the contrary, I still cannot fully transform because I’ve been suppressed for so long” she explained. This
CHAPTER 44: FIRST KICK
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Alexis, I don’t think that I can make it any longer. Today is the third day without any food or water. I am weak, I am starving, my baby is starving. I’m surprised that I even made it this far” I spoke to my wolf as I lay on the floor, I didn’t have the energy to move. “Hang in there Olivia. Cariso doesn’t want you dead, if he did then he would have killed you three days ago but instead, he choose to punish you. Don’t worry, we would be free soon. He knows that you cannot survive longer than three days, so he should release you today. Just be patient, don’t give up and remember never to beg! You are stronger than you think” Alexis encouraged me. “Alexis…you were right someone is opening the door,” I said, using my hands to support myself into a sitting position so that I can see better and I wouldn’t look mercifully weak. “Good…shush now, they must not know
CHAPTER 45: HELPLESS AND TRAPPED
OLIVIA’S P.O.V“Sir Cariso asked that you change into these?” one of the housekeepers brought in an orange garment folded neatly. Now they just enter my room, unlike before when they use to knock before they entered…I guess now they know that I am a prisoner here just like them and they don’t have to give me that respect like they did before. I took garment from her and held it up as it opened into a beautiful dress. “He wants me to have dinner with him, doesn’t he?” I asked, rolling my eyes. “You should get changed quickly, in a few minutes two of the guards will come to escort you down to the dining room” she said, before leaving, ignoring how I felt.“I can’t believe the arrogance of this man! He locked me up in darkness for 3 days, without a plate of food or even a glass of water. Yet, he still wants me to have dinner with him? Does he not have any self-pride or dignity? He is absolutely
CHAPTER 46: INFLUENCED BY THE DEVIL
AUSTIN’S P.O.V“A girl named Dawn contacted me. She said that she is friends with Olivia” Keith came into my office with this news. “Dawn? I think I heard Olivia mention something about a Dawn Summer’s. They were good friends back in New York, if I remember correctly” I said, thinking hard. “What did she want? Does she know where Olivia is?” I snapped out of my thoughts and asked Keith. “She knows that Olivia is missing and she wants to help find her. She said that they have been best friends from a very young age and she would be able to assist us” Keith explained. “Hmmmm…interesting…very interesting…how did she contact you?” I asked. “She called” Keith answered, looking at me strangely. I could tell that he didn’t yet know what I was thinking but he did know that I was getting somewhere with my thoughts and questions. “How did she get your number?” I as
