Finding Olivia (4)
"Olivia," Talia called gently. She could use her Alpha command to force Olivia to obey her, but she wanted Olivia to do this on her own.
In order to help Olivia see the situation clearly, Talia used her aura to obstruct the mate bond between Olivia and Luis. That bond was set to pull two together, no matter how toxic the situation was.
"Do you remember how you read the Cinderella story to me?" Talia asked. "I loved it because a prince came and rescued a poor girl. I spent my days imagining I was Cinderella and Omegas in the packhouse were my evil stepsisters. I was living in the attic and waiting for my prince to rescue me." She glanced at Damon. "I believe that fairytales can come true. Maybe not in the literal sense, but they tell us there is such a thing as a happy ending, and we don't need to suffer abuse and neglect."
