Queen of the Darkness The Black Jewels 3

Olivia’s P.O.V :

I woke up to sunlight falling on my eyes. I sat up removing the blanket off my body and looked at the watch, my eyes instantly widen when I saw that I was five minutes late.

“Oh no.” I sighed audibly in dismay and hurriedly started to get ready.

I brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and braided them quickly; More like in the speed of the wind.

I didn’t risk making a ponytail. Because last time I’d done that, the pack slut who thought I’m the ugliest person yet was still jealous of me cut some of my hair lengths; I loved my hair and when I saw her cutting my hair did feel bad but I had no right to argue or object, I was just like a slave in this pack; Not that I’d always been treated like this but life wasn’t the same anymore.

I wore a gray shirt, black leggings and hurried to reach the kitchen, I quickly went downstairs praying all the gods in my mind to save me from facing anyone’s wrath.

But As soon as I reached the kitchen my eyes met with those dark brown ones—My prayers definitely didn’t work.

There stood Lucas the eldest of the triplets with his fists clenched and staring at me in a death glare that immediately made a shiver run down my spine.

I understand in a blink that now I was going to be facing a lot of problems and unpleasant words.

I inhaled deeply and gathered all my courage and meanwhile holding my breath before I bowed in Infront of him

“Sorry Alpha, I became late because..” he didn’t let me finish.

“Because You were fucking some man till late night right? You’re such a worthless piece of shit.” He slammed his fist on the counter making me flinch; The loud sound echoed throughout the room for quite a while.

Moisture started to gather in my eyes immediately.

Though the triplets always used hurtful words toward but from the last two years, their words had passed all the limits. They kept questioning my character and keep throwing such insulting words toward me that made my heart torn into pieces; Everything they were doing was getting unbearable day by day.

I couldn’t stop the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes.

Lucas came taking dangerous steps toward me and gripped my face roughly in his hands.

“I didn’t want to see your crocodile tears you Traitor’s Daughter. Just stop these fake tears and get to work.” He spoke with a venom dripping tone and tossed the tear with his index finger as if it disgusted him.

He shoved me aside and without sparing another glance at me he left the kitchen leaving me all shattered with barely doing anything.

I pressed my back on the wall and broke down crying. I was sobbing but I was afraid to sob louder because if any mean pack member noticed it they would surely start to insult me.

I hugged my knees but couldn’t stop my sobs.

Lucas’s words rang inside my head repeatedly and I put my hands on my ears trying to stop hearing it over and over again.

Why did my life need to turn like this? Why?

I knew my father wasn’t the one who was the traitor. My father loved his pack. He loved Brian uncle (Alpha) and Lucy aunty(Luna).

Lucy aunty’s bruised lifeless body still haunts me. The woman whom I loved more than my mother.

When my mother died while saving her from the rouges she’d started treating me like her own daughter, I don’t think even a mom could love her daughter the way she had loved me. I missed her, I still wish if that night that terrible incident didn’t happen! Everything could have been the same.

Brian uncle was like a father figure to me. The Triplets didn’t allow me to visit him or see him even from far away. And it had been six years since I had last seen him.

I lost my father. I lost Lucy, aunty. And I lost the triplets who used to love me and care for me. Those eyes which used to held love and adoration for me now I could only see the burning hatred in them that broke a part of me every time.

It hurt to see the hatred in their eyes, the way they looked at me terrified me, they looked at me as if I was some monster.

I hated that I loved them so much but I knew they’ll always hate me, they will hate me for the fault my father never did.

I had seen my dad burning in front of me alive, seeing him die in front of me and turning into mere ashes.

I had thought they would trust me but they didn’t. They believed the Gamma as everyone else did. The Gamma who made my life hell and the Gamma who was involved in everything that happened that night; The main monster hiding underneath the surface was the Gamma.

Flashback :

That night I had spent the whole night crying while holding my dad’s ashes in my hands.

When I saw the triplets arriving from their trip I rushed toward them with all strength left inside me.

They were smiling. I understood from the happiness that showed on their face effortlessly that no one had told them yet the news that would shake their insides.

I saw Alex (the middle triplet )at first and ran to him without any thought I  hugged him tightly. The sobs started leaving my mouth vehemently.

“What happened Olivia? Why are you crying ?” Alex’s concerned voice reached my hearing rapidly.

“Why there’s so much blood on your dress and body! Did someone hurt you? “ Lucas asked in dismay while checking if I had any injuries or not.

“Aunty…Uncle….” I cried loudly.

“What happened to mom dad? Olivia?” Benjamin (the youngest of the triplets), his voice hid his fear; The incident he didn’t know about was going to unfold Infront of them very quickly but how could I say? How could I say that the people I loved more than my life were now gone and had no chance of returning.

“Let’s go to Oliver guys.” Lucas suggested hurriedly.

“Dad……” I showed them the ashes which had their traces in my hand; Traces of my dad. The last thing I had of him.

My sobs broke through, tears demolishing the last of my strength left inside me, my heart that felt numb beat loudly with anguish but what? Nothing would change. I’d lost everything just in one single night.

Three of their eyes widen, all the colors left their faces. They looked Pale—Completely pale.

I broke down and fell to my knees; Hugging myself to find some sort of warmth, my dad’s warmth whenever he used to be here for me but now, he wasn’t.

The triplets seemed to be at the loss of words and hesitating about what to say.

“Olivia tell us what happened?” Lucas asked kneeling and attempting to get me to stand up. His hands were shaking.

“I’ll tell you all what happened.” The evilest voice boomed from behind; Just the voice disgusted me to my core.

My head whipped around I saw those disgusting evil green eyes belonging to the Brute—The gamma. The eyes hid all the evil intentions beneath them while not letting anyone even realize it the slightest bit.

He came closer to us and I saw tears sliding down his cheeks; All of his fake act was looking extremely real—Enough to fool anyone but would the triplets believe him? Well, I didn’t know I was going to beep slapped with the reality very soon.

“Her father killed Our Luna brutally.” He shouted while pointing to me looking at me with anger-filled eyes.

Lucas, Benjamin, Alex, three of them were looking white as paper hearing the words leaving the Gamma’s mouth.

“Oliver can never do that.” Benjamin shook his head and released a deep breath.

“We found him with the same dagger with which your mother’s throat was cut and we found him beside your mother’s dead body. Do you still need more proof?” Gamma snarled in fury.
