Filed to story: Sorry Alpha... I'm a Lycan Princess Now (Amber & Julian) Book PDF Free
I decided to acquire the supermarket chain myself. I’d taken to staying late at the office every night. I was avoiding Olivia. She was clingy, always upset at my inability to reciprocate her attempts at intimacy, and I no longer had any patience for it.
Olivia’s POV
“What?” Olivia said into the phone. “He’s working late again?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Beta responded. He refused to address Olivia as Luna until she’d been properly assigned the title.
“He hasn’t seen me for two weeks, since the last time I had an appointment at the hospital,” Oliva said, her voice rising higher and higher as she spoke. “If he’s going to avoid me like this, he could at least make better excuses!”
Beta began his usual apologies, explaining the Alpha’s busy work schedule. Olivia hung up the phone, fed up with the act.
That night, Olivia put on a sexy red lingerie set, pulling a trench coat on over top of it, and headed to the corporate building that housed Julian’s office. She would seduce him. She would make him want her.
She didn’t even make it inside.
“Sorry, ma’am,” the secretary said, blocking her path towards the elevators. “Alpha instructed me not to let anyone in. He’s in a very important meeting.
“I’ll wait,” Olivia replied, sitting down on a sleek bench in the large lobby.
She sat there for two hours, the cold metal uncomfortable under her thighs. She became more and more angry the longer she waited until finally she shoved past the secretary and to Julian’s office.
It was completely empty.
“He lied to me!” Olivia roared, her anger erupting into furious screams like angry red lava from a volcano.
Rage and panic mixed into a stormy cocktail inside Olivia. She couldn’t shake the fear that Julian had another woman besides her.
She sat down in Julian’s chair, behind his large, expensive Alpha’s desk, and pulled out her phone. She dialed her private investigator.
“I need you to look into the Alpha’s movements,” Oliva said.
“Miss Olivia, you want me to tail the Alpha? My livelihood would be threatened if I got caught,” her private investigator responded.
Olivia replied back with a sum that was too great for the private investigator to refuse. Reluctantly, he agreed, and Olivia hung up the phone, satisfied. She sat at the large desk, imagining possessing the immense power of taking meetings and running the pack, before sweeping out of the office.
Later, when Olivia was back at her house, the private investigator sent over a file with a full report, along with photographs. Julian hadn’t been working late. He hadn’t been working at all. Instead, he’d been lingering near a particular residential building.
Olivia flipped through the photos the investigator had provided, trying to make sense of the situation. She’d never thought Julian was smart enough to see through her advances. She’d thought all he wanted was a pretty thing to carry on his arm.
Then, she came to one photograph of a woman standing outside the house Julian had been near, unlocking her car. The woman’s face was visible, uninhibited by any hat or sunglasses.
Olivia pressed her face closer to the screen, trying to make sure she was seeing clearly. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
The woman’s face – she could never forget that face.
Amber’s POV I’d just come outside to put the trash in the bin when a cold, mocking voice rang out behind me.
“You’re up to your same old tricks, huh? Still making a living by seducing other people’s lovers?”
I’d know that voice anywhere. In my office, outside my home. It was unmistakable.
I turned.
Olivia stood in front of me, her arms crossed. She stared at me down, her eyes ice-cold and piercing.
“So,” she said, walking closer and eying me like a panther stalking her prey, “you’re not dead after all.”
I looked over at her, surprised at her appearance. Of course I’d seen her at the hospital, but her appearance struck me differently outside of the chaotic environment of the ward.
Olivia used to be elegant and flawless, every move purposeful. She dressed as though she’d walked straight out of a fashion magazine. Now, though, she wore a simple floral dress, her hair in a long, loose braid. She looked familiar.
She looked like me, five years ago.
I thought about my own appearance. I looked more like Olivia’s glamorous past self now than she did.
“I thought you hated those clothes,” I said, not able to stop myself. “You called them frumpy, didn’t you?”
Olivia shrugged in response. “Julian likes them.”
I was taken aback. Julian liked my old style?
“Don’t get the wrong idea,” Olivia said quickly. “Julian likes me, no matter what I wear. I just felt like trying something different.”
Right, I thought, scoffing at myself. As if Julian ever found the timid, dowdy version of my five year ago self intriguing.
“I don’t know how or why you came back,” Olivia sneered at me, “but stay away from Julian. Don’t ruin someone else’s marriage.”
I laughed, bitter irony flashing through me. “Oh? Like you did mine?”
Olivia stood, arms crossed, not backing down on her declaration.
“You know,” I said, chuckling. “Julian and I aren’t legally divorced. Are you implying that the Alpha committed bigamy?”
Olivia’s face twisted. I wondered if she knew he’d never finished the paperwork, or if she’d just found out now. The pleasure of the thought lifted me.
“He will divorce you,” she said. “You’re just getting in the way. If you’d let him go –
“
“He thought I was dead for five whole years,” I snapped, “yet he still didn’t sign the papers? Have you considered that I’m not the problem? I signed them a long time ago. I served him the papers.”
“He didn’t care about you,” Olivia insisted. “He barely noticed you were gone. The papers weren’t worth signing. He’s an Alpha, not a lowly she-wolf working at a supermarket.”
I wondered at the fact that neither Julian not Olivia had questioned that I came back a she-wolf, while Olivia had always tortured me for being a human.
“The Alpha has responsibilities, not time to care about lowly women,” Olivia continued. “You wouldn’t understand.”
