The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Fifty-Five

"Miguel, hey, man." I said, moving closer to him. He watched me, his lips pressed together and a guarded expression in his eyes. It seemed that my leaving hadn't just hurt Olivia, but him as well. "Nick." He said, lifting up the cup of coffee and taking a long sip before he spoke again. "Why are you here and not at Livie's place?"

"I, um, I needed to talk to Micheal," I said, looking away from him. "When I came back after I had rejected Olivia, I saw them together and, well, I assumed-"

"You're a dumbass, bro." He growled, his fist moved lightning fast and he popped me in the shoulder. "Livie and Micheal were never together, he stepped up to help her out."

"I know that, now. It's just I saw them... He was smiling at her, touching her stomach. She hadn't called or anything, so I assumed they had gotten together after she and I-" I said, lifting my eyes up to meet my brother's glare.

"You mean after you rejected her?"noveldrama

"Yeah, after I rejected her, I thought they had gotten together." I said, knowing that if I could, I would give anything to go back and change what I had done.

"Really? You think she didn't try to reach out?" He asked before pressing his lips together into a thin line. I took a half step back, knowing he was liable to hit me again.

"She didn't."

"That's not what I heard." Miguel said, taking another sip of his coffee.

"What did you hear?" I asked, watching him.

"Bro, she texted you about it." He said, looking away from me and down at his coffee. His other hand was balled into a fist at his side. He took a deep breath, flexing his fingers before his eyes met mine again.

"She never texted me. Livie never reached out." I said, holding my hands up. A knot was growing in the pit of my stomach.

"Nick, Sunny told me about it. She said that you texted Olivia back telling her to take care of it." My stomach tightened and I felt sick. Livie must hate me if she thought I would text her that. There had to be some mistake. Maybe she had texted the wrong person. "I wouldn't-"

"You went off with Chelsea and started ignoring us. I've seen her. Seen how people treated her after you rejected her. She wouldn't lie to Sunny about it."

My wolf howled in my head, the sound ripping from my lips. My skin rippled with the need to shift. I turned away from Miguel, letting out another howl.

The pain that she must have gone through burned inside of me. Livie had been alone. She thought that I had told her to get rid of our child.

No wonder she had seemed so upset to me. No wonder my mother wasn't answering her phone.

I couldn't blame any of them for hating me.

I couldn't do this right now. I couldn't talk to my brother. I needed to go to Olivia. I needed to

find out what had happened with that message. Miguel reached out, resting a hand on my

shoulder and I pulled away. Stripping my shirt off as I headed towards the woods.

My mate had thought that I didn't want her, that I didn't want her child. It was all my fault. I should have never rejected her.

***Jay POV***

Killian and I drove to the diner for a late breakfast. After we met with the alpha, we were going to have to stop and get some groceries.

I didn't like sending Olivia off without taking care of her first. After the night that we'd had, I knew that she had to be famished. She also might be carrying our offspring and my dragon didn't like that we had left her hungry.

We pulled up into the diner parking lot, parking our bikes before heading inside. There were more people inside than in the previous times that we had come in. Well, more shifters. Most of them watched Killian and me as we took a booth and picked up the menus.

The waitress came by and took our drink orders. I almost wished Olivia was there so that I could see her again. But I knew that she needed some down time. She was probably at her place, taking care of her daughter and getting ready for dinner tonight.

Just knowing that she wanted us to meet her daughter. That she wanted us to meet her family meant so much to me. I was excited and I knew that Killian was, too. It had been hard to get him to leave her at her house. My mate had wanted to go inside with her, but he knew that after last night, she needed time away.

I didn't tell him, but I had the same feelings I hated leaving her this morning. But we all had things that we needed to take care of. I couldn't wait until Olivia let us into that part of her life. I wanted it all. Those early morning wake-ups, with messy hair and bags under our eyes, where we got up too early to take care of our children and each other. I could picture a little boy with Killian's eyes and Olivia's dark hair. Or maybe a little girl who looked like me but had her mother's smile.

The waitress sat our drinks on to the table and I picked up my water glass, taking a sip. "Are you still with me?" Killian asked, picking up his coffee cup with a laugh.

"Sorry," I said, shaking my head. "I was lost in thought."

"Must be some pretty deep thoughts about a little wolf for you to be so focused." His teeth sank

into his lower lip and his eyes sparkled in the bright sunlight that streamed through the diner's big windows.

"Mmm." I nodded, setting my drink back onto the table. "She does inspire them."

"Care to share them with me?"
