Chapter 6 (Olivia And Lucien)

Selene I couldn't sleep last night after the encounter with the Alpha, I was scared of what would happen considering the look on his face. Tossing on my bed, I heard the sound on the door “Who could that be?”I clutched my head feeling light-headed “Come in” I yelled as the door pushed open revealing Emery. “Hi”, She gave a cheesy grin while I rolled my eyes with a knowing look. “How did it go?” She asked, settling beside me. “I chickened out,” I replied in a groggy tone. “Ouch, you will be fine” She patted me lightly. “Freshen up, breakfast is served” She added. “Can I eat here?, I can't face him after last night” I pleaded, flickering my brows at her. “It is not in my power, don't keep everyone waiting” She appealed to me. “Fine” I replied flatly, as I sauntered into the bathroom. We both headed to the dining room, his scent was evident in my nose as my heart raced beyond control. I couldn't fail to notice how he doted on the lady sitting beside him. “Who is she?” I whispered to Emery. “Olivia, Alpha's lover” She whispered back as my mouth formed an “O” shape. They looked good together, it saddened me a bit. We got closer to him as we exchanged greetings, I greeted the lady politely but she wasn't up for it. She complained about me eating with them, which I supported because I didn't want to be here but the Alpha insisted I ate with them. After breakfast, Emery took me around the pack to get me familiar with the whole place. “I have to be somewhere, I will see around” She patted my shoulder while I nodded in return. I wanted to return to my room because I was feeling the after-effects of not having a good night's rest. I bumped into Olivia in the living room “Get me a glass of juice” She said to no one in particular as I observed the space to figure out it was only the both of us in it. “I am sorry what?” I asked with a frown on my face. “Are you deaf?” She asked, glaring at me like she owned this place. “Why am I always unlucky?” I mentally screamed. “Was about asking you that” My wolf taunted, she has a great sense of humor. “I heard what you said the first time and I am not your slave. If you want juice, go and get it yourself” I blurted out. “Excuse you?” She charged, standing to her feet. “You are excused” I replied, folding my hands. I am very good at pissing off people. “Do you know what I mean to Damian? if I were to cry to him, you would be as good as dead” She threatened me. I chuckled sadly “What's the worst that could happen, I have been through a lot for your threat to scare me” I replied calmly, pain evident in my voice. “Go and get me a glass of juice, I won't repeat myself ” She insisted while I attempted to walk off. Thud!! I fell to the ground as she slapped me across the face unexpectedly. “What is happening here?” I heard his voice bellow into the living room as Olivia started feigning tears. “Bitch” I cursed inwardly, while Adrain helped me to my feet. “Are you okay?” Adrain asked, looking concerned while I nodded at him. “What happened here?” Alpha Damian ordered. “I begged her to get me a glass of juice but she insulted me instead” She pouted almost in tears while I cringed at the tone of her voice. “Are you okay?” His tone softened as he turned in my direction. “Me, y..yes, I am fine” I stuttered, perplexed at the tone of his voice. He hummed “Come with me” He dragged Olivia along with him. “She is a handful” I sighed while Adrain chuckled in return. “Just stay clear from her” He advised and walked off. I just couldn't sleep after the slap so I headed to the garden instead, watching the flowers and the little insect made me a little emotional. “I wish I was like you all, free from the trouble of the world” I ranted softly. Ever since I came here, the only thing on my mind is to find my identity and take revenge on everyone who has caused me pain. Lost in my trance, I felt a light tap on my shoulder making me jolt and alert of my surroundings. “What bothers you?” The handsome man with a boyish grin asked as he sat at the far end of the bench. I eyed him “Nothing, just admiring nature” I replied, tearing my glance away from him. “It doesn't seem like it” He mumbled but didn't interfere further. The silence became unbearable so I voiced out “Life can be so unfair, I wish I could be a butterfly and live amongst these flowers”. “That would be a waste of beauty, when life gives you a lemon, make a lemonade out of it,” He said in a guttural tone while I peeked at him intensively. “Who are you?” I asked when I finally found my voice. “Lucien, Alpha’s cousin, and you?” He held my gaze. “Selene, his breeder” I bowed my head slightly in shame. “You want to see something?” He asked. “Huh?” He dragged me along with him leading me outside and into a tiny room. “Wow, these drawings are so beautiful” I gushed while glancing around the room. “You drew them?” I turned to face him, while he nodded, scratching his neck slightly. “You don't seem proud about it?” I studied his countenance. “I am but my brother thinks it is irrelevant” He looked somewhat sad. “Listen, no one has the right to control what you do, this is a great talent” I turned towards the drawing admiring them once more. “Thanks, I could teach you and I could draw you too” He offered, bowing his head slightly. “Are you always this shy?” I teased making him scratch his neck. “Well…” He dragged his foot as I giggled in return. “I would love to learn and trust me I would love a drawing of me as well” I responded. “Okay cool, I will teach you” He led me outside, and we talked about a lot of random things. “How come I haven't seen you since I got here?” I implored. “I am not into all this Alpha stuff and ruling, it comes with a lot of responsibility. I just dismissed myself from them” He replied, his hands folded behind his back. My time with Lucien was a good one, at least he made me forget my encounter with Olivia and reduce the tension of my purpose here. “Lucien” I called out to him when I noticed his attention was stuck somewhere else but he didn't bulge. I tapped him gently and he jolted in fear “Shit, you shouldn't be here” Terror written in his countenance. I heard hurried footsteps, the look on Emery’s face as she got closer to us was quite apprehensive. “Did something happen?” I muttered, my heart beating rapidly at every step she took closer to us.
