Another Deal

Olivia POV

Inside the room I would be sharing with Alpha Damien, I went over and sat on the couch. My heart hadn't stopped racing since I saw them. Lennox. Levi. Louis.

It took everything in me not to run into their arms, to scream that it was me—that I wasn't dead. That their Olivia was standing right in front of them. That I was here.

Alive.

But I didn't.

Maybe I was a coward.

Maybe I was just… too scared.

They looked broken. Shattered. The weight of my supposed death was clearly taking a toll on them, and it crushed me.

Across the room, Alpha Damien walked in and sat on the bed directly in front of me. I could feel his eyes on me, but I didn't look at him. I didn't want to. I hated this man—hated him with every ounce of breath I had left.

And God help me, if someone handed me a knife right now, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it straight into his chest.
