Hailey's POV
Reminded by Landon, I hastily changed my clothes.
Crying and sniffling, I followed Landon to the Dawn Pack's reception hall.
As soon as I stepped in, a porcelain teacup flew straight towards me. It landed at my feet and shattered into pieces instantly.
Alpha Justin roared angrily, "Kneel down!" My body jolted. I involuntarily knelt in front of him.
With a choked voice, I said, "Alpha Justin, I know I was wrong." I was still crying on the way here, but his roar scared me so much that I couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
The night was deep, yet the reception hall was brightly lit.
The last time such a scene occurred was when Olivia was being punished.
Thinking of this, my mood became even heavier.
As soon as I finished speaking, Alpha Justin snorted coldly, "You were wrong? You said you were wrong last time too, but when have you ever truly chan
Alpha Marsh's POVHailey gazed at me, her grip on my hand loosening instantly. "Yes, I'm sorry, Alpha Marsh. I... I didn't mean to..."Everyone knew whether it was intentional or not. Hailey's pleas were feeble and powerless.I shifted my attention and strode straight towards the Omega, who was holding the whip.I took the whip from his hand and then looked at Alpha Justin, who had not yet left. "Alpha Justin, you're right. Hailey does indeed need discipline. As the Alpha of the pack, let me be the one to punish her tonight."Alpha Justin looked at me skeptically, "Marsh, you're not trying to pull a fast one on me, are you? Hailey spread rumors online that Olivia was the third party who ruined your relationship with Lily. Now everyone is bashing Olivia as the third party. Regardless, Olivia has been married to you for three years. She's been in our family, keeping you company and taking care of Moira and me. She's made her sacrifices. Now that you'
Olivia's POVI came out after taking a bath and found that the Dawn Pack had acted quickly.The negative news about me on the internet had been completely removed.However, this was far from meeting my demands.My reputation had suffered such a heavy blow.And those personal emotional pasts that I had carefully buried deep in my heart, which I never wanted others to pry into, became public now. It was just like sticking a band-aid on a bleeding wound lightly.It was completely a temporary fix. How could I just let it go?I looked at myself in the mirror and slightly curled the corners of my mouth.This smile had no warmth at all, full of mockery and disdain.I threw the phone aside, turned off the light, and prepared to sleep.But I knew in my heart that tonight would be sleepless.Various thoughts kept swirling in my mind, pondering the possible actions of the Dawn Pack next and how I could strike back eff
Olivia's POVIn the afternoon, I was in my office, focused on handling documents.At that moment, a knock on the door came, and Wendy walked in.I looked up and asked, "Any new news?"Wendy walked to my desk with steady steps, nodded slightly, and said, "Ms. Johnson, there is indeed new information. You know the Brown family's company, right? Since Emily was driven away by Alpha Marsh half a year ago, it has fallen into a very bad business situation, with business declining and market share shrinking significantly."I frowned slightly and said, "Yes, I remember this. What's next?" I quickly sorted out the possible connections between the Brown family and the Dawn Pack in my mind, trying to understand the connection with Hailey's incident.Wendy continued, "This time, to solve the trouble Hailey caused, Alpha Justin really racked his brain and put in a lot of effort. In order to make Lily take responsibility, he promised to help the Brown fam
Olivia's POVI truly had no desire to have any more interactions or entanglements with the Dawn Pack, especially Alpha Marsh.But they've come to apologize to me. If I don't go and watch the show myself, it would be a disservice to the disdain and grievances I've suffered over the past three years.Ever since Alpha Marsh and I rejected each other, I thought the past would be like a fleeting cloud.After all, when we rejected each other, I gave the Dawn Pack a resounding comeback.However, things didn't go as I wished. Hailey always loved to cause me trouble, and Alpha Marsh became inexplicably annoying.I could let go of the past, but the incidents after our rejection were like being forced to swallow extremely disgusting food.It was stuck in my throat, nauseating and uncomfortable. Even if I wanted to vomit, I had to do it in front of them to feel relieved.Tonight's dinner, I came with the intention of watching Alpha Marsh's
Alpha Marsh's POVOlivia slurped up her soup, then picked up her fork and started eating as if Hailey and I didn't exist.She didn't even glance our way. Maybe in her eyes, the two of us were just too much of a buzzkill, spoiling her appetite.I frowned slightly, turning to Hailey beside me, "Eat up." Hailey, clearly sensing my mood, was even more cautious and obedient, picking up her fork and starting to eat without any out-of-line behavior.Olivia ate comfortably, but I barely touched my fork.This was the first time we'd sat down to eat together since our rejection. It was also the first time I'd watched her eat so closely.She didn't eat fast. Her swallowing and chewing were all very elegant and proper.It was clear she'd been well-educated from a young age.But I'd never really noticed these things before. Or rather, I'd never truly paid attention to her.We had eaten together before at the Dawn Pack's family feast
Hailey's POVI snuck a peek at Alpha Marsh. His golden eyes were as dark as ink, and his lips were pressed into a thin, stern line.His usually aloof face was even colder now.I felt like a chicken with its head cut off, wishing I could just disappear.Even if Olivia had called me out and lashed out, I wouldn't have dared to say a word.Olivia, on the other hand, raised a brow, meeting Alpha Marsh's gaze with a cool stare.Just when I thought Alpha Marsh was about to blow a fuse, his features softened a bit. "I'm sorry. I've messed up," he said.Olivia was clearly taken aback, not expecting an apology from Alpha Marsh.If it weren't for the tense atmosphere, she might have laughed.It was strange that he admitted his mistakes.But Olivia's surprise only lasted two seconds before she regained her composure and looked back at Alpha Marsh. "Just because you apologized doesn't mean I'll accept it."With that, s
Hailey's POVAlpha Marsh never cared about whether others forgave him. After all, their joys and sorrows had nothing to do with him.He just wanted to be comfortable, and that's always been his way.But when Olivia just now made it clear she wasn't accepting his apology, I saw a flicker of disappointment in Alpha Marsh's eyes.Yep, disappointment. It was something I rarely saw in him.I was relieved when I heard Alpha Marsh's words and grabbed my bag, ready to make a quick exit.But as I reached the booth door, a food cart rolled in.I paused, my gaze falling on the takeout boxes. That's when it hit me—Olivia had ordered food to go.For a second, my mischievous side wanted to just toss the packed meals.But before I could decide, the waiter pushed the cart into the booth.Thinking about Alpha Marsh still inside, I snapped back to reality and hurried towards the stairs without looking back.But just as
Olivia's POV"Backstage. She's learning how to operate the record player." Mina said with a grin.It was just past seven in the evening. The bar had just opened. There weren't many people around yet. The DJ hadn't even started their set.I looked in the direction Mina pointed. Although it was a bit far, I could see Hannah.Mina wasn't giving up, "Olivia, just do me a favor. How about we split tonight's profits?"I chuckled at her, "Do you think I'm short on cash?""Money's not the point. It's all about trying new things in life!""You're right. You should definitely try more," I said, then walked straight towards Hannah.As soon as I appeared, Hannah instinctively looked guilty. "Olivia, you're here, hahahh." I've known Hannah for over twenty years. I know her ins and outs.Seeing her like this, I knew she must have gotten into some trouble. "You've been busy lately?"Ever since her studio closed, Hannah had becom
Third person's POVOlivia looked at Hannah with an amused smile, "Should I tell Blanche you have something to do and won't be joining us?""On second thought, we're such close friends. There's no need for such formalities, right?"Hannah quickly changed her tune, fearing Olivia would leave without her.Olivia, well aware of Hannah's character, hummed and turned to go upstairs.Hannah followed
Third person's POVOlivia fell into a deep sleep as soon as she changed into her pajamas, her body and mind desperately needing rest to recover from the exhaustion.This sleep lasted until the sun was high in the sky the next day. When Olivia opened her eyes, it was already past nine in the morning.After freshening up, Olivia discovered numerous messages from Hannah.Raising an eyebrow, she unlocked her phone and clicked into the message list.
Third person's POVMarsh remained silent, and Alpha Justin waited for a moment, but received no explanation.Furious, he threw the book in his hand forcefully. "Marsh, are you mute? Your silence will only make things worse. Your actions might trigger tension between our pack and the Red Moon Pack.""Alpha Justin, it's getting late. You should rest early," Marsh said, preparing to hang up the phone.The next moment, he heard Justin ask angrily, "Do you really not want to reco
Third person's POVIn the werewolf world, different packs have their own territories and complex interpersonal relationships. A large pack like the Red Moon Pack, with its Alpha holding an extremely high status, any conflict with him could trigger a series of chain reactions."Do you think I'm stupid?" Marsh retorted.Zander was clearly pretending to be unconscious!As the Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack, Zander couldn't be that weak.
Third person's POVWarwick noticed that Marsh wasn't responding at all.He turned to look and saw Marsh's face was pale, his forehead covered in a dense layer of sweat.Alarmed, Warwick asked, "Alpha Marsh, don't scare me. What's wrong with you?"March gritted his teeth and, with difficulty, managed to say, "Stomach pain.""I'll take you to the hospital," Warwick declared, immediately reversin
Third person's POVFifteen minutes later, the car pulled up to the Lightmark Hotel.Olivia turned her head to look at Zander. Under the cover of shadow, the bruises on his face were still clearly visible.She could sense the faint scent of the wolf tribe on Zander, a unique smell that mixed wildness and strength, which was hard to conceal even in human form.Olivia glanced and said, "Alpha Zander, we've arrived at the hotel."
Third person's POVOlivia swallowed hard, her gaze instinctively shifting towards the dark hospital window in an attempt to divert her attention.She repeatedly told herself not to be affected by the scene before her. This was just a simple exchange of favors."Try some?" Suddenly, a hot dog was offered right in front of her.Zander lifted his head, his eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation, a faint smile playing on his lips.Olivia leaned back slightly, flustered as she said, "No, thanks."Zander just smiled, his grin growing brighter, as he once again offered the hot dog to her lips and whispered, "Be a good girl. Open your mouth." His voice was incredibly gentle, using the word "good girl" as if he were coaxing a child.His gaze was fixed on Olivia, seemingly waiting for her to accept this small sharing.In a moment of distraction, Olivia unknowingly took a bite.Instantly, her face flushed slightly, feeling a
Third person's POVOlivia and Hannah left the hospital together, taking only about ten minutes to return to the car.Hannah quickly got inside, but Olivia did not follow.At this moment, Olivia was feeling conflicted. She knew Hannah was puzzled and didn't understand her intention to buy food for Zander, yet she couldn't ignore his plight.She told herself silently that this was just a gesture to repay a favor, with no other emotional entanglements.Hannah was taken aback and asked with confusion, "You're not really planning to buy him food, are you?""Go back first," Olivia said, signaling the driver to start the car, her tone resolute and leaving no room for argument.She feared that if she hesitated any longer, she might change her mind."Hey, Olivia, why bother with him..." Hannah tried to dissuade her, but Olivia only pressed her lips tightly together, offering no response.She turned and walked towards the convenie
Third person's POVHe gazed down at Olivia, who looked breathtakingly beautiful tonight, a sight he had never seen before.In his heart, he truly wanted to compliment her, but before he had the chance, the despised Zander had already seized Olivia's attention.Just like now, before he could expose Zander's pretense, Olivia had already concluded that he was the cause of tonight's chaos."I know," Marsh responded in a deep voice, still looking down at Olivia, waiting quietly for her to continue.However, Olivia didn't say anything more. She just gave him a cold look before turning around and leaving resolutely.The news of Zander and Marsh fighting over Olivia spread rapidly within minutes.At such a grand event, it was nearly impossible to conceal their public brawl.As the host of the banquet, the Red Moon Pack, considering Zander's fainting and hospitalization, logically should send a representative to follow up on the matter.
