Olivia's POVThe pit of dread I’ve had since I hung up the call with Mia just kept growing. I knew whatever was waiting for me was going to be bad.Lunera Beauty was my passion. I knew there were those in the Pack that thought I shouldn’t have a career, that being the Luna should be enough. I also k
Olivia's POV“Yeah, that’s me and Ethan.” I admitted to Mia. “Believe it or not, with everything going on with Aiden and the money mess it hasn’t exactly been important.” I felt the need to explain so she wouldn’t think I was hiding things from her. “I was hurt and messed up after the weddin
Olivia's POVMy fingers drummed on the polished mahogany table, desperately trying to keep my face unreadable against the insulting offer, and the cloying scent of stale cigars. Sitting across from me and Mia, Alpha Gideon leaned back causally. I wanted to smack that smug look off his face.

Ethan's POV The faint scent of lavender and cedar greeted me as I entered Olivia’s Pack House. It was hers, grounding and contradictory, like the woman herself. Her voice drifted down the hallway, speaking to one of her Betas, firm but kind. I followed the sound until I found her in the office,
Olivia's POV The morning light broke through the trees, casting long shadows across the clearing where remnants of last night’s chaos still lingered. Warriors patrolled the edges of the Pack grounds, their gazes sharp, while others worked to clear debris and secure defenses. My muscles ached, bu

I crossed my arms, standing a few feet away. “Why am I here?” He chuckled softly, stepping closer. “Straight to the point. I admire that about you. But tonight, it’s not about what I want; it’s about what you can offer.” My stomach twisted, not used to others knowing about me. “Is this a test?”

Matthew’s smile faded, replaced by an intense stare. “Then maybe he’s blinded by ambition.” The comment hung in the air, unsettling yet tempting. I looked away, searching for something to say, but nothing came. When I glanced back at him, Matthew’s expression had shifted, lighter now. “If you ev
