Olivia's POV

I looked up and found that sure enough, Marsh and Beta Jeffrey were over there at the booth not far away.

Before I could respond, Hannah continued, "C'mon, just show that jerk Marsh that you've got rizz."

I shook my head, feeling a bit helpless. "Mates should be loyal and trust each other. Tests and provocations like these are completely meaningless, especially since my bond with Marsh is nearly broken because of Emily."

"So? What do you say?" Zander asked with a smile like he didn't notice Hannah and me whispering.

I beamed, "Thanks, but no. I drove here."

I didn't drink alcohol tonight, so I didn't need anyone to take me home.

After speaking, I headed over to the other side of the bar where some friends were hanging out, just to let them know I was heading back.

Zander, being the sensible type, didn't press further.

Hannah trailed behind and wondered with a puzzled look, "Why not take Zander up on his offer? I know you don't wanna be his girlfriend, but you coul

    Olivia's POVI had just driven out of the bar when I suddenly realized I had forgotten my phone.Not wanting to turn back, I just parked on the side of the road and walked there.As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the bar, however, I heard Marsh insult me.Immediately, I felt a sharp pain in my chest.But I soon shook it off."He's lying!" Elara chimed in my head. "His wolf craves us."Her words didn't cheer me up at all."Ignore them!" I responded to her in my mind, then I kept striding toward the bar.Elara grumbled a bit but didn't argue with me.Beta Jeffrey, who gave me a glance from the corner of his eye, nudged Marsh with his elbow."What?" Marsh snapped, sounding a bit annoyed.Then he turned around, looking at me with a frown.Rolling my eyes upward, I walked to the counter, asking the bartender for my phone.After getting it, I headed out, ready to leave.Just then, I heard Zander chuckle, "Well, if that's how it is, then great! You definitely won't mind me pursuing Ms.

    Olivia's POVI stared at the roses in silence, thinking, 'Since I've just decided yesterday that I'm not gonna respond to Zander's advances for now, I can't take them.'Thus, I said to the assistant, "Take these away; they're yours now."She looked shocked. "What?"Before she could say anything more, I pushed through the door and walked into my office.Moments later, I headed back out with the report Wendy had given me this morning."Ms. Johnson, would you like some coffee?" the assistant asked while holding the bouquet."Thanks, but no. I need to talk to Mr. Bell about work," I replied with a smile.My gaze swept over the bouquet—the red roses looked so vibrant.After losing in thought for a while, I tore my eyes away. With the file in hand, I then clicked my way straight to Morgan's office in heels.Due to my dissatisfaction with Morgan, I walked with big strides.When Morgan's assistant saw me, he froze for a second. "Ms. Johnson, are you here to see Mr. Bell?""Yes." I nodded."I'

    Olivia's POV"Ms. Johnson, are you off work? Do I have the honor to have dinner with you?" Hannah's voice came through the phone."Why are you so free today?" I asked with a smile."I've familiarized myself with the work of the pack recently, so I've been quite free this month," Hannah replied casually.After pondering for a moment, I asked, "Where do you wanna go for dinner?""The Starry Night!" she exclaimed excitedly. "The new steakhouse that just opened.""I'll be there in half an hour.""Cool, I'll be waiting for you, Ms. Johnson."Half an hour later, I found Hannah at a booth at the steakhouse. My gaze fell on the plate of snacks on the table. "How long have you been waiting for me?""I've been here since I gave you the call."I shook my head helplessly and realized that she really had a lot of free time.Then, I sat across from her and handed her the menu. "Order whatever you want. My treat.""Sweet! That's what I like to hear!" She grabbed the menu without hesitation.Once we

    Olivia's POV"I can't dance," I said.Well, in fact, I could. I just didn't wanna dance with him."Don't worry. I won't get mad even if you step on my toes," he replied with a grin.I was rendered speechless.Before I could protest, Zander had already taken my hand and led me onto the dance floor.As I stood there, I caught sight of Marsh. He didn't speak, but his expression was icy.I'd never seen that possessive look on him.If it were before, I'd feel flattered. But now, it just made me sick.I turned back to Zander, shifting my focus onto our steps.On the dance floor, our movements started syncing up like we were born to do this together.As the rhythm shifted from soft to upbeat, under Zander's lead, my movements became light and confident. The hem of my skirt traced graceful arcs in the air as we spun around.People around us seemed to be affected by our vibe, instinctively clearing a space for us in the center of the dance floor.Everyone started to fix their gaze on us.Deep

    Olivia's POVI was strutting in my high heels, heading away from Marsh step by step.The whole hallway echoed with the click-clack of my stilettos."You're angry," Elara spoke in my mind."I hate it when he meddles in my business," I told her."Maybe he's finally remembering we're his mate," she joked, which was a rare case. Then she added, "I can sense his anger, although pretty faint."I got what she meant. Marsh still had some pull over me, but it was definitely fading.Marsh's presence annoyed me, so I found Hannah and said straight up, "Let's go."She raised an eyebrow at me and asked, "What's wrong? Did you run into someone in the ladies' room that upset you?"I nodded slightly. "I bumped into Marsh on my way back."Hannah's face lit up with understanding. "Oh, you ran into a nut, huh? No wonder!" she shrugged and said.I chuckled a bit when suddenly I heard footsteps beside me.When I turned around, I saw Beta Jeffrey standing there, about to greet us.Compared to Marsh, he see

    Olivia's POV"Good evening, ladies." The car window rolled down, and I saw Zander smiling at us as he spoke.Hannah gave me a meaningful look and said, "Well, looks like you won't have to drive by yourself later."I knew what she was inferring, so I shot her a sideways glance and replied, "I'm not ready to accept his help just yet.""I can't handle any more accidents late at night, so sorry, but I think it'll be the best if you accept his help."I snorted, "It's not up to you."As we spoke, Zander had already gotten out of the car and walked up to us, asking, "Did your car break down?"'He's quite forward,' I thought to myself.Then I politely replied, "Yeah.""Did you call for a tow truck?""Um-hum."Just as I finished speaking, the tow truck crew showed up.Wendy walked over and said, "Ms. Johnson, you may as well leave with Miss Watson now."I glanced at Zander standing beside me, feeling reluctant to get too involved with him. So I nodded. "Okay."I signaled Hannah to follow befor

    Olivia's POVThe next morning, I turned on my phone and saw a text message from Hannah.It had a link to some news article.Still groggy, I rubbed my temples as I clicked to read it.Turned out my dance with Zander last night was posted online.Zander was not only the Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack but also the future CEO of the Wells Group in San Francisco.Yes, his dad was still running the show for now, but it didn't stop Zander from being influential in San Francisco and even Los Angeles.In the eyes of others, he was a handsome and wealthy man born with a silver spoon.And I was just Marsh's cast-off—an unrecognized Mrs. Walton.In the eyes of netizens, I was Zander's new girlfriend.Not only did the video of me dancing with Zander spread online, but photos of me hitching a ride in his car after my car broke down also circulated.The headlines from those gossip media outlets became increasingly absurd, with sensational titles like "Fiery Romance" and "Unbreakable Bond."I let out a

    Olivia's POVI hadn't downed this much booze in years, and my stomach was empty.Even though Wendy helped me drink a few glasses later on, I still had quite a bit throughout the night.After dinner, I escorted them to the door.As soon as I turned around, I felt a strong discomfort in my stomach. I tried my best to suppress it and said to Wendy, "I'm going to the bathroom."After saying so, I dashed to the bathroom and barely made it before I hurled everything up.After that, I felt a lot better.Werewolves had a strong self-healing ability, which was not only evident in injuries but also in situations like this. I could quickly recover from physical discomfort.I splashed some cold water on my face and sobered up."You good?" I couldn't help but check in with my wolf."I'm not vibing with this booze. I prefer the red wine from the Red Moon Pack," Elara responded in my mind.I did go on the conversation with Elara. Instead, I grabbed a paper towel to dry my hands.That was when I spot

    Third person's POVOlivia was taken aback for a moment, then she said, "That's a good thing. It's like free publicity."However, Wendy's face showed no trace of a smile, and she worriedly said, "But there are quite a few people discussing how you got that piece of land. The current talk outside is that Alpha Marsh made up a project for Mr. Barkley, and that's why he gave you the land."Olivia clicked her tongue, saying, "What they're saying is also the truth. No need to pay attention to it."She thought to herself, these gossip reporters were incredibly boring, not tracking down celebrity scandals but instead digging into her affairs.But no matter how much they dug, she would just consider it as publicity for the project. Once the project was completed and launched, it would naturally bring its own traffic, saving a sum on publicity costs.Seeing Olivia unconcerned, Wendy could not say anything more.She suspected that the Dawn Pack

    Third person's POVA smug smile crept onto Justin's face as he continued, "By the way, contact the media and spread the word about Marsh seeking Cedric's help to give land to Olivia. If that boy from the Blackthorn Pack can create public opinion, so can we, right?"Landon nodded in agreement, "Yes, Alpha Justin. I'll get it done right away."Justin waved his hand again, confident that Olivia would eventually become part of the Dawn Pack.Justin's understanding and control of human nature were indeed quite precise.After returning to her room from the study, Moira sat on the edge of her bed, staring intently at the small vial Justin had given her.She seemed restless and uneasy.The fact that Justin had asked her to drug Olivia filled Moira with both fear and reluctance.However, the resolute look on Justin's face made it clear that he was determined for her to carry out this task.Torn between her feelings, Moira eventua

    Third person's POVJustin glanced up at her, nodding with a tone that was still wild, "Take a seat."Once Moira had settled, Justin spoke up slowly, handing her a box from beside him as he said."As Marsh's mother, you would want him to live a happy and fulfilling life. I hold Olivia in high regard, and you've had a harmonious relationship with her in the past. Marsh has always been too proud to humble himself for reconciliation. This is when you, as his mother, need to step up and do something for him."Moira listened, her face showing a puzzled expression. "Alpha Justin, what do you mean...?"Seeing that Moira still didn't grasp his intentions, Justin felt a hint of disdain within.But considering he needed her to carry out this task, he suppressed his dissatisfaction. "No matter what, you and Olivia have been families for three years. Take the initiative to reconnect with her, to foster the bond between you two."Only then did Moir

    Third person's POVPaparazzi had photographed Zander's late-night stay at Olivia's apartment. Although Zander's secretary intercepted the photos, the news still spread within their social circles.Upon hearing this, Hailey couldn't help but say during breakfast, "Alpha Justin, I think Olivia doesn't want to reconcile with Marsh anymore. She's with Alpha Zander now!""Nonsense, how can they be together? Didn't that boy from the Blackthorn Pack just have a new lover?" Justin said, frowning.Hailey scoffed disdainfully, "Who knows? They're good at playing games. They spent the night together. What else could it be?"Thinking Hailey was making things up again, Justin's face darkened, and he scolded, "Are you talking nonsense again?""I'm not! Alpha Justin, if you don't believe me, look, there are photos! My friend sent them to me!" Hailey defended herself hastily, handing her phone to Justin.Justin took the phone and saw a photo of Zande

    Third person's POVHis actions, as if coaxing a child, left Olivia feeling helpless.Her lower abdomen was indeed aching badly, and after a moment of resistance, she could no longer hold on.With a hint of exhaustion in her voice, she said, "I have an early meeting tomorrow. I need to rest. Do as you please."She thought to herself, 'let him do whatever he wants.' She truly didn't have the energy to deal with him tonight.As she stood up, a hand on her waist stopped her, and in the next instant, she was pulled back onto the sofa by Zander."What are you afraid of, Olivia?"He put down the spoon and looked up at her, "Are you afraid I've put wolfsbane in this drink, or that by drinking it, you'll have to marry me?"Hearing this, Olivia's face turned even colder, and her voice hardened, "Zander, do you know that the cheapest thing in the world is being good to someone without limits?""Oh, are you saying I'm being pathetic

    Third person's POVOlivia's face was pale due to menstrual cramps, and her tone was impatient."Do you have a stomachache?" Zander asked with concern.Olivia didn't answer his question but coldly said, "Is there anything else?"As soon as she finished speaking, Zander suddenly picked her up. Her body tensed instantly, filled with surprise, but at the same time, a sharp pain in her lower abdomen made her consciousness a bit dazed.She clenched her teeth, her hands unconsciously grabbing Zander's shirt, her fingers turning white from the effort."Does it hurt a lot?" Zander asked while carrying her to the sofa, looking down at her with a furrowed brow and eyes full of worry.Olivia weakly leaned on the armrest of the sofa and softly said, "Could you please get me a glass of water?""Sure." Zander let go without hesitation, placed her on the sofa, and then walked to the water dispenser, pouring a cup of warm water and bringing it

    Third person's POVZander lowered his head, gazing intently at her, his long eyelashes casting a small patch of shadow under his eyes. Between the interplay of light and shadow, his eyes sparkled with a gentle smile as he said, "I used underhanded methods, just to make you stand on my side.""..."His blunt honesty left Olivia at a loss for words.Marsh, who had just followed and was about to speak, suddenly found himself as if choked by something, unable to utter a single word upon hearing Zander's words.What could he say?Could he apologize for his impulsiveness last night?But if he questioned the reason for his impulsiveness, wasn't it because Zander was kissing Olivia?Every sentence seemed like a harsh slap to his own face. Marsh stood there stupefied, and suddenly, Warwick's words from last night surfaced in his mind. "In matters of love, you really can't compete with Alpha Zander."How had he responded at the ti

    Third person's POV"Indeed, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time, Alpha Marsh. We didn't finish last night. Let's continue now!"Zander was not the least bit intimidated, and in an instant, a glimmer of emerald green flashed through his eyes, a sign that his wolf was about to be unleashed.He took a fierce step forward, and with it, a powerful Alpha aura surged towards Marsh like a tidal wave.The entire space seemed to tremble under the force of this aura.Marsh was equally unyielding. His eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, and a low growl rumbled from his throat, like a battle song from the ancient wilderness.His muscles tensed, and beneath his clothes, fur seemed to be trying to break through his skin, and veins bulged on his arms.He also released his Alpha aura, clashing and pressing against Zander's power in the air, forming an invisible vortex of energy.Zander moved like lightning, rushing towards Marsh.

    Third person's POVAfter finishing eating, Zander got out of the car and walked around to the other side to open the door for Olivia. He then proceeded to the trunk and lifted her suitcase out with ease.Instead of handing it over, he tilted his lips into a slight smile, his eyes conveying an unyielding determination, "I'll walk you up."Seeing this, Olivia reached for her suitcase, but Zander blocked her, transferring the luggage to his other hand while leaning in slightly, emphasizing his insistence.Hearing his words, Olivia raised her delicate eyebrows, a teasing glint in her eyes, "And then for a cup of coffee?""No coffee tonight, of course. If you insist on inviting me, I'll get one," Zander raised his eyebrows, a faint, playful smile appearing on his face.The originally ambiguous atmosphere in the car, as if shrouded in a veil of gauze, seemed to be dispersed slightly by a gentle breeze.Olivia's lips curled into a polite smi
