The first time I heard someone in town speak her name, it felt like the clouds had parted and sunlight was streaming down on me.
Olive deserved all the smiles in the world. I just wanted to be the one to give them to her.
“I just want to get to know her better,” I said. Liar liar liar my alpha chanted, but it wasn’t like I could say Olive is mine even though she doesn’t know it yet and I’m going to bite her and fuck her and take care of her forever.
