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
Olivia's POV"The horse ranch. It's been a long time since I rode a horse!"I thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed so, and I said, "Alright.""Cool! I'll swing by tomorrow morning at nine!""Got it. Get some sleep then."After hanging up, I chugged a glass of milk and hit the hay.The next day around eight, Hannah rolled up in her car.March in LA usually meant rain, but today was a rare sunny day.As I was staring out the window, Hannah suddenly called out to me, "Olivia, what did you say to Zander that night?"I arched a brow and asked, "Nothing. Why?"Hannah took out her phone and tapped on Twitter. "Here, see for yourself."On her screen was Zander's tweet, reading, "Day 16 of pursuing Olivia." The update stopped on that day."He gave up just like that?" I exclaimed in astonishment.I wasn't bummed or anything—just kinda puzzled.Hannah snorted disdainfully and said, "So, he's just a jerk!"Suddenly remembering what Zander had said that day, I raised an eyebrow and
Olivia's POVIt had been a long time since I raced horses with anyone. Back in the day when I was a child, I would run and race with the folks in the Red Moon Pack.The wind blowing on my face right now reminded me of the good old days.I couldn't help feeling relaxed.Speaking of which, Zander's equestrian skills were better than I had imagined.He was right on my tail, sometimes just half a meter behind, sometimes leading ahead.I had always been competitive, so upon noticing that he was very close, I cracked that whip hard and pushed my horse to go faster.When there were 200 meters left to the finish line, I noticed that Zander was lagging behind me by nearly two meters.Feeling smug, I gave a laugh. Yet just then, the red horse suddenly galloped past me.When I realized what had happened and spurred on the horse, it was too late.By the time I got to the finish line, Zander had already pulled up his horse.He turned around and looked at me with a triumphant gaze, saying, "Olivia,
Olivia's POVVivian was now in a dilemma.But I just stood there with a smirk, enjoying the show.Noticing my gaze, she immediately exclaimed, "What? You think I can't afford those clothes?"The shop assistant wanted to say something more, but seeing Vivian seemed about to get angry, she had no choice but to go inside the fitting room and bring out the clothes Hannah and I had tried on.Vivian's face stiffened for a moment as she watched the shop assistant come out carrying a pile of clothes half as tall as her.Then Hannah piped up, mimicking Vivian and Mara, "Madam, can you afford these clothes?"Vivian's face darkened. "It's just a few pieces of clothing. Everyone can afford them! Just show me the bill!"The shop assistant realized that it was her lucky day, so she quickly printed the bill. After she was done, she beamed at Vivian and said, "Madam, it's a total of 350,000 dollars. Would you like to pay by card or..."I almost burst out laughing.Vivian was from the working class. H
Olivia's POVWendy opened the package, and inside was a designer dress.There was also a card from Zander that read, "Claw me, claw thee."I chuckled and set the card aside, telling Wendy, "No need to order a gown for me anymore."Gotta admit, he was pretty thoughtful.On the day of the auction, Zander's car was waiting downstairs at Wonder Company at 6 PM, and I hadn't even had time to change into my gown.As soon as I arrived downstairs, I saw Zander in a slick white suit leaning against his Cayenne.He had one hand in his pocket, the other holding his cellphone.Perhaps hearing my footsteps, he looked up at me. His deep eyes sparkled, his thin lips curving into a half-smile. He said, "How about joining me for dinner?"Even though I had seen many outstanding and handsome werewolves, I must admit that Zander was quite hot.Just looking at his deep eyes made my heart race.Now I could see why Zander was the most renowned Alpha in Los Angeles.No wonder Emily, who had already won Marsh
Olivia's POVWhen I looked up, I saw Marsh staring at me and Zander, which annoyed me.As a cheater, he was in no position to look at me like that!I then turned my head and continued talking to Zander, exchanging a smile with him.Suddenly, I heard Marsh let out a cold huff, followed by Beta Jeffrey saying something, which I didn't catch. But Marsh's tone made me even more vexed.I believed that they were here for nothing but the final painting.I didn't expect the final painting at tonight's auction to be so impressive. It was an oil painting by a famous American artist, with a starting price of over 500,000 dollars. As soon as the auctioneer finished the introduction, Zander bid 600,000 dollars. It seemed that he was determined to snag it.But he wasn't the only one gunning for that painting. Marsh wanted it, too. I watched as Marsh and Zander silently raised their paddles back and forth until the price shot up to 1.15 million dollars.It was Marsh's offer, and just as I thought Za
Olivia's POV"It's been months since we last met, and you seem to have forgotten the excellent qualities of the Dawn Pack. From the moment I entered until now, you haven't even offered me a cup of coffee."Upon hearing that, I burst into laughter. "It's my office, not a café. If you want a coffee, just go downstairs, turn left, and walk about 200 meters. There's a café there where you can get what you want.""Olivia! You're so disrespectful and reckless, shaming the Dawn Pack everywhere you go. I'm gonna—""Did you forget that the one who's with Marsh now is Emily, Alpha Justin?" I said with a slight smirk, but there wasn't much amusement in my heart. "This is where I work. If you've got nothing important to say, please leave. If you do, please get straight to the point."I paused for a bit before adding, "I don't have much patience, so you'd better finish it before it runs out."My intention to drive him out couldn't be clearer.Alpha Justin's face immediately darkened. "Since you wa
Olivia's POVI didn't expect to run into Hailey while I was dining out, and it happened just when I was briefing Hannah about how I managed to make Justin storm off today. What rotten luck!Seeing Hailey, I was taken aback, but I quickly adjusted myself and asked, "Anything you want from me?"I knew she never liked me. Back when I was in the Dawn Pack, I wasn't submissive all the time, but I didn't dare to disrespect Justin.But now that I left, I didn't need to show any respect to him anymore. So when I was talking to Hannah about him, I referred to him as "that wretched old man."Hailey, hearing how I addressed her grandpa, shook with rage. "You better apologize, Olivia!"Hannah clicked her tongue and scoffed, "Are you kidding?"I glanced at Hannah and gestured for her to hold her tongue before turning to Hailey. "Apologize for what?""You just insulted my grandfather, calling him a wretched old man!" Hearing her words, I raised an eyebrow a
Olivia's POVLandon's visit was nothing more than a small episode to me.I didn't take his words from Alpha Justin seriously.After all, I was Alpha Marsh's mate for three years. I could guess some of Alpha Justin's thoughts.Compared to that, I cared more about the bidding plan for the land we were bidding on tomorrow.I rejected the plan proposed in the meeting just now. Morgan didn't dare to oppose me as he used to.I was the daughter of the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack. The entire Wonder Group was affiliated with the Red Moon Pack. Alpha Hunter had only me as a daughter.That is to say, I am the future helmsman of Wonder Group.Who dared to ignore my words now?The plan was sent back, and the relevant departments immediately started working on it.I was flipping through some documents. I was originally planning to have lunch after reviewing the remade bidding plan.However, what came faster than the biddi
Alpha Marsh's POVI had just finished the meeting when I saw Jeffrey standing at the door, looking at me cautiously.I gave him a cold look and said, "Go ahead, what's the matter?""Mr. White just called me. Alpha Justin wants you to return to the Dawn Pack immediately."I glanced at Jeffrey, "I see."With that, I stepped over and entered the elevator.I had a pretty good idea why Alpha Justin wanted to see me.I had anticipated part of it, but not the other."So you're saying you want me to mark Olivia again and let her continue to be the Luna of the Dawn Pack?" I asked in surprise.Alpha Justin glared at me, "Why? Do you really want that Lily to become the Luna of our Dawn Pack? She doesn't even have the bloodline of a Beta."I naturally had no intention of mating Lily. But I thought it was absolutely impossible to mate with Olivia again."Let's not discuss the new Luna for now. What you said about me re-
Landon's POVSoon, Wendy led me upstairs."Ms. Johnson," I said.I have been Alpha Justin's Beta for over twenty years, so I couldn't help but carry a bit of his condescending pride in my voice.Olivia let out a light hum. "Landon, the honor is all mine with your visit."Alpha Justin used to look down on Olivia. That somewhat influenced me.Even though Olivia's status has changed. She's no longer the person she was before, but we were used to belittling her.So, my attitude towards her now wasn't much better.Olivia used to treat me with great respect. It was the first time she's spoken to me in such a manner.A wave of dissatisfaction welled up in my heart. But thinking of Alpha Justin's instructions, I suppressed myself. "Ms. Johnson, Alpha Justin needs you now. Go with me."Olivia looked at me. The smile on her face faded instantly. "Landon, you certainly have a way with words. You're in my company now and you
Olivia's POVMy words made Emily's face stiffen for a moment.But she recovered quickly.After a slight intake of breath, she spoke again, "Alright, maybe I've misunderstood you."She continued, "Let's talk about the apology. Could you please let us off the hook this time? Lily is very unstable right now. You might not know that she became a vegetative state to save Alpha Marsh, lying in a hospital bed for nearly five years. Before she went into surgery, Alpha Marsh personally promised her that he would mate her. But now that she's back and lucid, she found out you were once Alpha Marsh's mate, which made her think wrongly and lie about you."Emily's expression changed slightly as she went on, "Besides, why Alpha Marsh made you his mate back then, I think you know very well. The past is the past. Now, you and Alpha Marsh have separated. You don't need to be stuck in the past. Lily did wrong, but the doctor said she has depression. Please understand
Olivia's POV"Lily's got her heart set on joining the Dawn Pack. Alpha Justin is so angry that he's in the hospital now. I doubt even if she groveled, she couldn't get into the Dawn Pack!"I gave Hannah a faint smile and said, "Don't be so sure about that."People like Alpha Justin, who's all about the bottom line, might just let Lily in one day.But what does it have to do with me?Nothing. Really.I pushed my chair back, got up, and headed to my room as Hannah called after me, "Hey, Olivia. What's up?""Get changed. I'm heading to work."I'd taken a day off yesterday, missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars.Hannah, the lady of leisure, found my words boring.She, with all her free time, couldn't grasp the joy of working.I came out dressed and saw Hannah still there, tsking, "Why are you still here?""Your guest room bed is super comfy. I'm catching some Zs before I go. Alpha Zander woke m
Olivia's POVAfter posting on Twitter last night, I went to sleep. I knew full well that the internet would be in chaos when I woke up this morning.When I woke up today, I felt much better.I glanced at my phone and saw two missed calls, one from Blanche and one from Wendy.My WhatsApp was also filled with unread messages, mostly about the posts.Blanche initially sent text messages. But about an hour later, after probably seeing my new Twitter, she sent several voice messages, then.I couldn't help but smile helplessly. Last night, I was provoked by Alpha Marsh and, coinciding with a cold, my reaction was a bit slow. I didn't think it through and posted on Twitter.Hunter and Blanche are aware of the situation now.Last time when we went to the Dawn Pack, they were still polite. But only a few days later, Lily showed up to falsely accuse me.Hunter was furious when he heard about it and immediately asked his assistant
Alpha Marsh's POVI didn't expect Lily to make such a request. I couldn't help but frown.It was Lily who pushed me away, saving me from the car accident.But I never considered making her my mate.I never said that what she did was unnecessary. As an Alpha, my wolf would have me dodge the danger at the speed of light.Saying that would make me seem heartless.Perhaps seeing my continued silence, Lily couldn't help but speak up, "Alpha Marsh, have you fallen for Olivia?""No.""Then why don't you mark me? Why don't you make me your mate?""Because I don't like you.""If Olivia is your second chance, would you mark her again?""No.""Olivia won't be your second chance either, Alpha Marsh. I can tell she truly doesn't want to love you anymore."I glanced at her.Lilly said this with a strange, triumphant smile, looking at me.I didn't know what made her think she won. I didn't know
Olivia's POVThe voice on the phone recording was indeed Lily's."Ms. Johnson, hello, this is Lily. I truly had no idea about Marsh marrying you as a shield, but regardless, this whole thing started because of me, so I should still apologize to you. Ms. Johnson, are you listening to me?"This statement might sound innocent, but anyone with half a brain could tell there was something off about what Lily said.Perhaps because I remained silent, Lily also paused for a few secon
Olivia's POV"The villa in Elephant Hill, if I remember correctly, should be worth over 90 million dollars now, right? The apartment in Cloud Garden should also be worth over 30 million dollars. Your asset appreciation in the past three years, even if calculated at 3%, would be at least 4 to 5 billion dollars. Rounded up, that's at least 150 million dollars. So, all in all, you have given me at least 300 million dollars."You are so generous."Marsh frowned, "I know you're not willing to accept this."
