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
Olivia's POV I looked at Zander, stunned for a moment before I realized what he had just said. On the way back, I had caught quite a bit of wind, and now my head was throbbing in waves. So I shook my head and politely declined, "No, thanks. I have a bit of a headache." "Alright then, get some rest." Zander didn't insist. The look in his deep eyes relaxed a bit. He leaned back against the car seat, watching me as I got out. I could feel his intense gaze glued on me the entire time. After taking a few steps, I looked back at Zander. He was sitting there with an unlit cigarette between his fingers, gazing at me. To be honest, it was kinda hard to handle that look he gave me. Quickly averting my gaze, I followed the others into the apartment building. Back in my apartment, I filled the bathtub with warm water. After removing my makeup, I added two drops of rose essential oil to the water—my favorite scent back when I was in the Red Moon Pack. Then, I stepped into the bathtub,
Olivia's POVI didn't know why, but Elara's words reminded me of Zander.I instinctively turned my head to look around.But I saw Marsh in a car nearby.He could see me clearly from a distance of four or five meters.Our gazes met, and at that moment, I remembered my past self.After leaving the Dawn Pack, I felt no sorrow at all. Every time I met Marsh, I was more composed and cheerful than before.However, at that moment, Zander's expression was very cold.His gaze was so obvious that I didn't expect Marsh's car to be right next to mine.Tsk, my luck really wasn't great today.I raised an eyebrow and quickly averted my gaze.At nine o'clock, Wendy called. "Ms. Johnson, will you attend the meeting later?""Yes. Tell Morgan that I'm stuck in traffic. I'll be there in ten minutes.""Understood, Ms. Johnson."Just after I hung up, the road ahead cleared up.I immediately started the car and drove towards Wonder Company. The meeting was set for 9 o'clock, but by the time I arrived, the m
Olivia's POVI had known Hannah since we were kids.Although we were not in the same wolf pack, we attended the same werewolf school when we were little.After graduating from werewolf school, we also got accepted into the same university.When I stubbornly insisted on marrying Marsh, Hunter threatened me and warned me to taste the bitter consequences on my own.But Hunter wasn't completely at ease. He was still keeping a close eye on me.He knew about many of my situations from Hannah.Our two wolf packs were on good terms, and Hunter was also fond of Hannah. "Is Hannah's studio still open?""It hasn't opened recently, but it should reopen in a few months."Hannah's family was prosperous, with Hannah having a brother and several cousins. Hannah didn't need to do anything to support the family. She was born to live a happy and carefree life.Hunter laughed, "You should learn from Hannah. I'm not old yet."I huffed, "But I also like making money."I wasn't lying either. I indeed liked
Olivia's POVI knew that Hunter didn't approve of me marrying Marsh back then, and now, seeing Hailey's attitude, he had grown even more displeased with the Dawn Pack.Just out of the restaurant, Hunter couldn't help but ask, "So that was Marsh's sister and Emily?"I didn't want to bring up the people from the Dawn Pack in front of Hunter, but Hannah beat me to it. "Yes, you're right, Alpha Hunter."Hunter sneered, "The upbringing of the Dawn Pack is really poor!""Exactly!"Seemingly recalling my three-year stay with the Dawn Pack, Hunter said with a heavy heart, "During those three years..."I quickly interjected, "Dad, I have left the Dawn Pack now. I think Marsh will eventually accept my rejection. A Luna who has been away from the pack for a long time can have a significant impact, and he won't hold on for too long. The people from the Dawn Pack mean nothing to me now."Not giving Hunter a chance to lament, I glared at Hannah and then asked, "How long do you plan to stay here?"H
Olivia's POVI snapped awake instantly and asked, "Who said that?"I got up, drew back the curtains, and saw that the sky outside was not yet fully lit, with a faint hint of orange on the distant horizon.Slightly narrowing my eyes, I casually grabbed a baseball jacket to put on and shuffled into the bathroom in my soft slippers, turning on the hands-free mode."Many Facebook groups are posting photos of you and Alpha Hunter holding hands from last night's dinner out. We met Hailey and Emily yesterday. It must be one of them."I was brushing my teeth and had no time to respond, so I just mumbled a "Hmm."Hannah continued, "I was there for the drama, and I really didn't expect such funny gossip so early in the morning. The screenshots were sent by another friend. Both of us laughed our heads off."I thought to myself, 'That's ridiculous. Am I being kept by my dad?'"Do you want me to check it out?" Hannah asked. "It's not difficult to find out. Since there are screenshots, I can have m
Olivia's POVLife in the Dawn Pack hadn't been easy since I became Marsh's mate.Hunter had heard about these things from Hannah.So, he had been holding back for so long. If the news was indeed spread by someone from the Dawn Pack, he wouldn't just let it go!After our meeting, we left the meeting room, and Hunter's face was still cold.I took his hand and tried to cheer him up with a smile. "Dad, can you please smile?"Hunter glanced down at me and managed a reluctant smile.I couldn't help but laugh. "You're making it too hard on yourself."Hunter genuinely smiled. "You know, when you were in school and got bullied, you used to fight back. How come now that you've grown up, you're acting like you've regressed? Are you worried that I can't protect you?"Hearing this, I spoke with a hint of bitterness, "As an adult, I won't act as impulsively as before."Hunter remembered the past and started talking about my high school days. As he spoke, he forgot about the incident.We talked and
Olivia's POVHunter was, after all, a CEO, and his daily schedule was packed to the brim.He said that it was hard for him to get the secretary to squeeze out a day to come to Los Angeles to visit me, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.If it weren't for the important dinner tomorrow, he would have waited for Wendy to find the source of the so-called "keeping" rumor, and then taken me to settle accounts with the initiator.But he had got an important dinner and a meeting tomorrow, so he had to go back after dinner.I had a business dinner tonight, so I couldn't send Hunter to the airport.Before leaving, Hunter repeatedly instructed that he should be informed once Wendy found out who started the rumor.I assured him over and over, and only then did he get into the waiting car at the hotel entrance.After seeing Hunter off, I got into Wendy's car and prepared for tonight's business dinner.In early March, it was still chilly in Los Angeles, and the wind at night was particular
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."
