The agreement 2

NOLAN

When Olive said she wanted to see us all, I knew she had something up her sleeves. I knew she has got plans and might want to share them with us. I was a bit surprised, she chose to speak to me despite what had happened between us. I thought she had screamed at me or ignored me. But she seems fine.

Seeing her scream, groan, and sigh instead of crying like the rest of us, I knew she was hurting inside but is trying to hide her feeling. I tried to talk to her but with the look on her face, I decided against it. Silent clouded us, everyone with their thoughts.

When Bella and Ella walked up to us with Nigel, I sighed in relief. I dislike the silence that had taken over but respected the fact that the silence was the best option for us. "We should go to the garden. It's safer there"

We got to the garden and she spoke up. "As I said before, I have a plan". I nodded. She has said that before. "But before I say my plan, I have something to show you". She stretched a paper to us. "My dad left this for me. It's about the attack," she said. I made to take the paper from her but she handed it over to Nigel instead. I could tell she's still angry with me and is only trying to put up with me cause age has no option.

Nigel handed the paper to me when he was done reading and I could hear her growl. Her wolf but be so angry with me too. I opened the paper not minding her glaring and growling. What I saw was a shock to me. Salvador was the one who sent the men in masks to attack. Though the letter did not confirm that, his reason for the first attack showed he might have attacked again since Olive's father was not ready to leave the territory and the Salvador I had grown to know, do not give up a fight easily until he has gotten what he wants.

I could tell from the write-up that he had threatened her dad so many times. "Did you know about this?" I asked Olive who took time before answering me.

"No"

"You don't?" I asked in surprise. She shrugged without saying any word. "You don't know your pack was been watched?. During the last attack, did you not get prepared, knowing Salvador won't back out easily?"

She scoffed. "No" I knew she wanted to say more but she restrained herself from saying any more words.

"Don't you think that was irresponsible of you?" I asked getting agitated already. The Olive I knew would have done some digging. Why would she let it slide?

She growled, her eyes turning into gold. I could feel her aura. I could feel her anger. I wanted her to speak out. I wanted her to break down. "How dare you!!!" She yelled and charged towards me.

Ella held her back. "Olive. Get hold of yourself. You have to get hold of yourself"

She pulled herself away from Ella and succeeded in getting closer to me. "How dare you tell me I am irresponsible. Do you even know what being responsible is like, huh?!!!" She yelled.

"Olive, you need to calm down," Bella said

I folded my hand. "Do you have more to say? Huh?. Spill it out!!!. You don't have to restrain yourself from saying the words"

She stared danger at me, sighed, and turned. "You should go. I don't need your help any now".

As she left, Ella made to run after her but surprisingly, Bella held her back. "She needs time alone. She just lost her parent and is been saddled with great responsibility. She needs time to get herself together. I'm sure she will come around"

"Are you sure, Bell?" Ella asked and Bella nodded.

"I am positive". Bella stared at me, giving me the I dislike you look before holding Ella by her hand. "Let's go"

After they left, I sat down on the bench while Nigel stood, staring at me. Though wasn't looking at him, I could feel his eyes boring into my skin. I groaned. "Just spill it out. Curse me if you want to. You can tell at me too. Just don't give me that look. Don't keep staring at me that way. It only makes me feel guilty"

"Of course, you're guilty. Those words were harsh. You should have considered what she is passing through"

I sighed. "I just wanted her to talk. I wanted her to yell and clear her mind. I guess I only made things worst"

He nodded. "You sure did"

Olive was gone for what looked like ages, making us worry about her. We searched over the places for her. Everywhere in the mountain pack was searched but she wasn't there. Her uncle told us not to worry that she would come back home. He told us, he was positive she would show up before night.

Ella said she might know where she is. She said Olive will be in the wood but she can't say the exact place. She said, whenever Olive gets angry or needed to be alone, she would run deep into the wood in her wolf form. And no matter how hard they all try to find her, they won't succeed. She said Olive had always returned only when she feels like it but always make sure she return before everywhere becomes dark.

I wondered what sort of person she is and if there are more things I don't know about her yet. I wondered what she's been hiding from me. I tried to keep myself positive and hopeful that she would return soon. And when it seems darkness was setting in and she hasn't shown up, I began to doubt if she was going to come back.

when she finally decided to show up, my mind became at rest. She only stared at us and went straight to her uncle and his family. I watched him hug her and whisper something to her. I wondered what he had told her cause she walked to us. "I-i am sorry. I shouldn't have walked away like that" she said

"It's ok" Ella answered. "I understand how you feel and I am sure every other person understands too"

Bella held Olive's hand. "I apologize on behalf of my brother. Please forgive him. He never meant those words he said"

I frowned. Why is she apologizing on my behalf when Olive should be the one to apologize to me. She left without saying a word and kept us all in a worried stay. "Did she not just apologize?" My subconscious mind asked and I groaned. I guess I wanted more than just an apology.

Nigel poked me, jolting me out of my thought. I frowned. "What's that for?" I asked in a whisper.

"You should apologize" he replied, whispering too. I groaned. "Just do it"

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those words to you"

She sighed. "Can we go on with our conversion? I mean the one we had before I left"

I knew she changed the topic because she did not want to tell me she has forgiven me. It wasn't easy for her to forgive me or rather she isn't ready to forgive me yet. I shrugged. "What are the plans?" Nigel asked, disrupting the awkward moment already forming up.

"There's no proof that Salvador is responsible for this yet. My dad never mentioned why he attack the other time. And no matter how much I tried to ask him, he wasn't ready to tell me. When I tried finding out on my own, she agreed with my mom to make me go to the fire pack". She said the last part starting at me.

I knew she was conveying a message to me. I should know she tried her best but her dad did not let her go deeper. I sighed. I got her wrong. Although she likes to get to the root of a matter on her own, she still loves her dad enough to obey him. "To the plan," she said and I cleared my throat. I suddenly felt a lump. "First of all, I need to move all the pack members that had survived out of this place. If Salvador is the one who attack, he would come back. Whosoever had sent those men will come back. I can't risk losing anyone. Nigel, I need them to go to the fire pack with you. You can ask the alpha of the fire pack for permission"

I scoffed. Why can't she tell me herself?. Ain't I standing right in front of her?. Nigel wanted to say something but I stopped him. "They can come with us. They will be safe there"

Olive sighed and I can tell she was satisfied. "I will stay back to put everything in place. Nigel, I will need you to find the ruthless alpha and ask him to give us any information he knows about Salvador. You have to help me gather as much information as you can. You know what I mean"

Nigel nodded and I scoffed again. She needed information from me and she can't ask me. Maybe that's because Bella and Ella are here. She doesn't want them knowing I am the ruthless alpha, cause all the information she needs is known only by the ruthless alpha. "Bella and Ella" she continued, "Help the pack members feel comfortable in the fire pack. I will try to finish up as soon as possible. I will try to get some information myself. We can make a proper plan when I come over"

"What about me?. What am I supposed to do?. Do you need me to stay with you and help you out?" I asked and she glared

"You can keep to the part of your agreement and stay out of my business!!!" She yelled and left

I batted my lashes. I don't seem to understand what she meant by those words. Nigel whispered. "Get the information she needs as the ruthless alpha and stay out of her business"

I scoffed. She still dislikes me I guess. I shrugged. She should suit herself!!!.
