Redemption by My Alpha Mate

Olivia's POVLying on the floor, I felt utterly helpless. Luckily, the pain soon subsided.Tears started to cloud my eyes as a deep sense of betrayal washed over me.Despite it being my first time feeling the pain, I knew what caused it—my mate had been staying by Emily's side, probably acting intimately.Just like how Emily kissed Marsh earlier today.In the werewolf world, when your mate snogged someone else after marking and claiming you, you'd experience such intense pain.It was like an alarm from the Moon Goddess.If they got physical, I could be in for even worse torture.I'd heard cases of werewolves who got weak and ended up losing their wolves because their mates had cheated on them.If I kept turning a blind eye, it was only a matter of time before that tragedy befell me.Making up my mind, I made my way to the bathroom and freshened up.When I stepped out, Beta Jeffrey approached me, saying, "Luna Olivia, Alpha Justin wants you to meet him in the reception room.""Where's

Olivia's POVI froze, unable to believe what I just heard."Could you be more ridiculous? If it weren't for me, he would've been more severely injured, idiot," I shot back, my voice dripping with sarcasm.Emily wrapped her arms around Marsh's waist, her head resting on his chest."Marsh didn't need you. They were just about to kick those nasty rogues out before you got here," she choked out, yet her gaze at me was defiant."I said that to you because I was worried about Marsh. Why did you humiliate me?"I glanced over at Marsh, hoping he would defend me. After all, I had just saved him.If I hadn't lunged at that rogue, he would be suffering from more than just a shoulder wound.Yet, there wasn't a hit of gratitude in his eyes, only anger and disappointment.Facing all shifters from the Dawn Pack, he snapped in a cold voice, "Olivia, you're still grounded, yet you ran out without my permission and even caused chaos during the battle."I stared at him, rage boiling inside me."I did al

Olivia's POVI ignored him.The party got even livelier as Alpha Zander's deep and authoritative voice sounded again."However, I'll only pick one main partner for this project. And that's exactly why I'm here. To scope out and choose the right fit."I noticed Marsh's face turned sour, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.Apparently, he was eager to get in on this deal with Alpha Zander.But the awkward greeting he just pulled didn't do him any favors.Literally, he himself threw a rare chance down the drain. I guessed he must rack his brains trying to make up for it.The guests around me were still engaged in heated discussion. After all, the collaboration with Alpha Zander would bring them anything they wanted—wealth, power, status, etc.Just then, an Alpha around Marsh's age stood up.He took his date's hand and approached Alpha Zander, introducing himself, "Nice to meet you, Alpha Zander. I'm Raymond, and this is Avila, my mate, and the one and only Luna of my pack."He stresse

Olivia's POVMy thoughts were a whirlwind as I left the lounge.Alpha Zander's offer had caught me completely off guard.I gotta make a choice, but it wasn't easy.With heavy steps, I descended the stairs and paused at the landing.I called out to my wolf, trying to discuss with me about what had happened."Elara, what do you think about Alpha Zander's offer? As long as we become his Luna for a year, we'll get our freedom and power back," I whispered.After a moment, Elara's voice sounded in my mind, sounding a bit raspy."I'm not sure, Olivia. Marsh is our mate. Perhaps we should figure out a way to win him back instead of leaving with someone else.""I used to have the same idea, and I've tried. But he's clearly obsessed with Emily. And I don't wanna waste my time on an unfaithful mate," I sighed."Have you thought it through? If we reject Marsh, we might not get a second chance mate."Marsh's blatant betrayal and our weakening mating bond had left my wolf weak and insecure.I sooth

Zander's POVFrom Olivia's reaction when she saw me at the dinner party, I knew she thought it was the first time we'd met.I read shock and confusion in her bewildered expression.But actually, we'd crossed paths before, not at some meticulously planned event, but by sheer chance.The moment I first saw her was etched indelibly in my memory.It was at a werewolf school in Los Angeles, a place that groomed future leaders of wolf packs.Olivia stood out even among a crowd of exceptional students.Her beauty and charm were hard to resist.My wolf felt a strong pull towards her.Every time I got close to Olivia, my wolf seemed more excited.But if that was the attraction between a pair of destined mates, then why didn't Olivia feel the same about me?She only saw me as a stranger who went to the same school as her, which made me uncomfortable.However, that was only part of the reason I didn't approach her.I stayed away because I was afraid.I was certain I'd lose control around her, wh
