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 POVWith that, I found Wendy and said, "Wendy, please ask the driver to bring the car to the entrance. I need to use the restroom and then we can head out."Wendy nodded and quickly took out her phone to call the driver.The restroom in the banquet hall was a bit far, requiring a stroll down a long corridor to its end, followed by a left turn and a few more steps to get there.There weren't many people in the restroom, so I quickly came out and headed back towards the main hall.On my way back, there were hardly any people in the corridor, and there was a door leading to an outdoor terrace.The terrace wasn't large, maybe about 12 to 13 square meters, furnished with two coffee tables and chairs for people to rest.I could faintly hear people talking outside the terrace from about five or six meters away, but I couldn't make out what they were saying clearly. It wasn't until I reached the entrance of the terrace that I heard the two girls outside mention my name, which made me
Olivia's POVMy tone remained the same as when they apologized just now.Since Zander was here, Lucy and Rachel said nothing but glared at me with gritted teeth.Lucy muttered something, which was definitely not something nice. The two of them glanced at each other for a second and then turned around and walked away.I watched their backs and hummed lightly, "They sure ran fast."Next time, I won't just splash wine on them.I averted my gaze and noticed Zander was looking at me. I raised an eyebrow and said, "Alpha Zander, do you think that I have a bad temper?"Zander also arched his eyebrows and looked at my deep eyes with a slight smile, "No. I don't think so."I glanced at him and smiled, "I'm going back now, Alpha Zander, do as you please.""Well, I'm leaving too."So, the two of us left the small garden. Just as we got out, we ran into Marsh.Marsh looked at me and sneered coldly, "Zander, is this the kind of woman you set your eyes on?"His words were filled with malice.I look
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
