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
Keith's POVEven the cute girl herself, after saying that, couldn't help but smile. Waving at me, she left with her bag in her hand.Her smile kinda dazzled me for a sec, and I quickly called out, "My name's Keith."I could tell the "no" between her lines.I did belong to the Blackthorn Pack, yet given the fact that I didn't have a wolf, I rarely stayed in the pack.I knew werewolves were gonna seek their mates sooner or later.However, I didn't think a werewolf without a wolf like me, would actually find one.Thus, I would never let my chance fly away the first time I fell in love.After I got her number, I returned to my booth and looked down at the number on my phone. The girl next to me wanted to start a conversation, but seeing that I was not interested, she had no choice but to give up.It seemed that I came here to look for a potential date, but in fact, I was only here because the boys wanted me to make up the numbers.I star
Olivia's POV It seemed Zander really just came over for coffee. After finishing it, he excused himself and left. I leaned back on the couch, watching him close the door behind him, raising an eyebrow. After a while, I pulled my gaze away and headed back to my room. Though Zander was a playboy, he was quite a gentleman. After taking a shower, I replied to Hannah's message and then went to sleep. The next morning, I woke up before my alarm even went off. It was pitch dark in the room. Through the curtains, I noticed that it was still dark outside. I grabbed my phone to check the time: 7:15 AM. Still early. But since I went to bed early last night and had a good sleep, I felt quite fresh right now. So, I got out of bed, planning to whip up a nice breakfast for myself. I gotta say, it was all thanks to Marsh that I could go from someone who couldn't boil water to being skilled at cooking. If it weren't for him, fried eggs and toasted bread would probably be the best I could make.
Olivia's POV At six in the evening, just as it was time to go off work, Wendy knocked on my door and reminded me, "Ms. Johnson, the business dinner is scheduled for half past six." Hearing her words, I glanced at her and gently rubbed my temples, replying, "Got it." Even without a traffic jam, it would take us twenty minutes to get to the hotel. So I gotta get going now. Then I shut down my computer, grabbed my bag from the side, and headed straight out of the office. Wendy had been waiting at the door. Seeing me, she asked, "Ms. Johnson, need a driver?" I shook my head. "No. I'll drive." If I had to drink alcohol later, I would just hire a designated driver. Wendy replied, "Alright then, Ms. Johnson." After getting down to the parking lot on level B1, I noticed Wendy still following me. So I hesitated for a moment and then said to her, "You should take your own car." This way, she could drive home herself after dinner. Wendy looked surprised but quickly got it and nodded be
Olivia's POV I turned my gaze to Jonas, smiling as I said, "Jonas, please don't get me wrong. How could I possibly threaten you? Since the folks in your town aren't ready to leave, we naturally won't force them." The tables had turned. Now, it would be them who wanted the demolition to be carried out, not us. "Nonsense! I'm not gonna listen to your bullshit! I wanna see Mr. Bell. Where is he? Get him over here!" Jonas shouted. His forehead veins bulged as he spoke, his eyes ablaze with anger as if he would walk up and beat me at any moment. But I showed no fear. Meeting his glare, I said word by word, "Mr. Bell has fully entrusted this matter to me." Then I paused for effect before adding, "Plus, I'm doing exactly what Mr. Bell instructed." Morgan wanted to make things difficult for me, but I wasn't a pushover. Now, I was gonna give him tit for tat. "You bitch! What nonsense are you talking about? Mr. Bell promised me yesterday that if I—" Before Jonas could finish his words
Olivia's POV Emily, who spotted me too, glanced over at Marsh, asking, "Is that Olivia?" Marsh didn't answer, his eyes filled with coldness. I quickly looked away, pretending I hadn't seen them and walking right past them. Just then, I noticed Zander didn't keep up. So I turned my head to look for him, only to find him darting an icy glance at Marsh. Then he quickly caught up with me. Just as I took a few steps, I heard Emily mumbling, "Marsh, do you know Lily has come around?" "You should have called me Alpha Marsh," came his stern reply. I subconsciously glanced back. Then I saw Emily's face turned pale, and she froze for a bit. How strange. Wasn't Emily about to become the new Luna of the Dawn Pack? Why would Marsh treat her like that? Not wanting to dwell on it, I strode out of the restaurant. "Ms. Johnson, I have called for the driving service. The driver should be here in about ten minutes," said Wendy. I simply gave a nod. The February night wind was as biting as a
Olivia's POV I was stunned for a moment, then realized that I was standing at my apartment door. This certainly wasn't an ideal place to smoke. "So, where are we going?" I adjusted my bag and walked up to Zander. He glanced back at me, saying, "No need to go anywhere. My car is right downstairs." Just like that, I followed him into the elevator. When we arrived downstairs, he walked over to his flashy sports car, opened the door, and waited beside it. "Get in." I gave him a quick glance. Then he piped up as if he could read my mind, "Don't look at me like that. You make it seem like I'm trying to kidnap some naive young girl." I chuckled softly and slid into the car. He shut the door behind me and quickly hopped into the driver's seat. Then he took a pack of cigarettes from a box next to him and offered it to me. "Do you know how to smoke?" I honestly answered, "No." He raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his deep eyes. "Let me teach you." As he spoke, he grabbed
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.
Third person's POVOlivia couldn't help but let out an exasperated laugh. She found the two men's behavior utterly unreasonable. "Fine, then fight it out."With that, she walked straight through them and left.Her heart was filled with exhaustion and disappointment. She was unsure how to handle the complicated situation.However, she hadn't taken more than a few steps when a loud "bang" echoed from behind, startling even the guests inside the banquet hall.Some noticed the commotion and were coming to investigate what had happened.Not wanting to escalate the situation, Olivia had no choice but to return, looking at the two men who were fiercely trading blows.Her eyes held anger and helplessness as she said, "Today is my father's birthday. Are you sure you want to fight and ruin tonight's party?"Her words had some effect, and both Zander and Marsh paused for a moment.But in an instant, as if driven by some invisible f
Third person's POVOlivia gracefully shifted her position, her calm eyes directly facing Zander, and asked with a composed tone, "What do you want to say, Alpha Zander?"Zander's deep eyes flickered with a glimmer, as if there were a thousand words he wanted to express, yet he concealed them in an instant.His gaze inadvertently swept towards Hannah, a hint of displeasure rising in his heart. She always seemed to interfere at crucial moments.Hannah, sensing Zander's look, became displeased. "Alpha Zander and Olivia are not on intimate terms. Is there something I can't hear?"Zander ignored Hannah's provocation, focusing all his attention on Olivia, silently contemplating how to make her believe him.Olivia slightly raised an eyebrow, her eyes showing a hint of rebuke and helplessness. "Hannah."This simple address seemed to carry an undeniable power.Hannah glared at Zander, her look as if it could shoot arrows, before she tur
Third person's POVThe scale of the banquet was grand, and the scene was spectacular. The guest entry alone lasted nearly two hours.By eight o'clock in the evening, the guests had mostly arrived, and Olivia and Hannah returned to the backstage area together.Their former classmates had also been invited to the banquet, but with the hustle of the day, Olivia had no time to entertain them specifically, only offering a brief greeting as they entered.Upon arriving backstage, Olivia and Hannah spotted Dominic talking with Hunter. Olivia raised her eyebrows slightly and walked over.Seeing her return, Alpha Hunter and Dominic ceased their conversation and turned to her. Hunter asked with concern, "Tired?"Hunter's reluctance to hold such large banquets was not only due to his preference for low-profile affairs but also because Olivia was the sole person in the Red Moon Pack responsible for handling such events.Every time they held a banq
