Big Bad Alphas

"You were trying to hurt me, weren't you?"

Olivia begins to sob. "I'm not this type of person, and I don't do things like this."

Leaning back against a near tree, I take a deep breath in an attempt to collect my thoughts. As I am doing so, I notice Olivia struggling to her feet and swiping the hairs from her face. "I'm sorry," she mutters as she limps towards me, "but I need him. Eric was all I had, he is all I have. I've been trying to get him to see that we don't have to be mates to be together, but then you show up, and he forgets I exist. You have what I want, and I'm desperate."

Confused, I stand up straight. "What are you talking about?"

She wipes the stray tears from her cheeks. "I want to fight for him."

"This is crazy, you're obviously very upset right now, and you're not thinking clearly..."

"Women used to fight over the Alpha male way back, so why can't we now? The survivor gets Eric," she says while continuing on her strive towards me and continuing to ignore her bleeding leg. "Let's fight for him."

Shaking my head, I move away from her, frightened by the deranged look in her eyes. "I'm not fighting you, Olivia. Eric is my mate."

"I'm not going to stop," she clears her throat. "I love him."

"Can we not talk about this? You, Eric and I, we can figure this all out."

She shakes her head, no. "Stop trying to act like the good girl Isabella. Always wanting to help, wanting to save your sister, wanting to be there for Eric. He was mine first! He loved me!"

Backing away, I grab my bag. "I'm going to go. I'll tell someone that you're out here, and t-they'll help you with your leg."

"You're not going anywhere!" She shouts. "We, we're fighting for him!"

"Olivia!" A voice calls from behind us and in the trees. "Olivia are you out here!"

Her eyes spring to the person, and she begins to panic herself.

"She's over here!" I yell back, recognizing the voice. "We're over here!"

Olivia's eyes narrow on me, and she suddenly jumps at me, grabbing my shirt and pulling me to the ground with her. She holds me down as I struggle beneath her. "Help!" I call out and hear the sounds of the movement growing closer.

Olivia wraps her hands around my neck, and my eyes bulge in pure disbelief. She is trying to kill me.
