Olivia's POV
After Hailey apologized on Facebook, she publicly issued an apology statement on her personal page on other social media platforms. She also apologized on Twitter and mentioned the official account of Wonder Company.The fact that I, the daughter of the CEO of Wonder Company, became known to almost everyone in just one night.The next day happened to be the weekend. Hannah and I together took Hunter and Blanche to the airport.On the way back, Morgan's call came.Seeing the caller ID, I hung up immediately.Hannah, who was sitting next to me, thought it was Marsh and clicked her tongue, saying, "Now the members of the Dawn Pack know that you are the daughter of the richest man and want to coax you back?"I eased up on the brakes as the light turned red, and I shot Hannah a quick look with a casual expression. "It's Morgan's call.""Oh, that guy," Hannah snorted. "He had caused you so much trouble before, and now that he knows you'Olivia's POVAs we were chatting, the elevator door nearby opened, and Zander, dressed in a suit, walked out from inside.At first glance, he really looked like a social elite, with a stern face and a pair of deep, almost cold eyes, even carrying a hint of that ascetic vibe.I just looked up and met those deep eyes.Zander seemed to have known I was there already. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, his gaze immediately fell on my face.I was caught a bit off guard and hadn't quite processed what was happening when Hannah beside me waved and called out, "Zander!"I had just come to my senses when Zander came over and said, "What a coincidence."Hannah laughed foolishly, "It's not a coincidence. Olivia was waiting for you on purpose. She has something to tell you. Minna and I will leave first."With that, she grabbed Mina and stood up. Before leaving, she even winked and made faces at me.I was betrayed by my friends like this.
Olivia's POVIf someone else had heard Zander's words, their face would have turned red.But apart from a slight flutter in my heart, I didn't have any other strong emotional reaction.I stood there, calm as usual. "It doesn't sound that interesting."Zander heard what I said, but he didn't seem upset at all. He just smiled and said, "Well, let's forget about it then."He didn't feel embarrassed at all because of being rejected after confessing. Instead, he said, "How about going for some late-night snacks?""What would you like, Alpha Zander?"Zander mentioned a place that I hadn't even heard of. He probably had assumed that I didn't know about this place, so he immediately took out his phone and started the navigation for me.It must be admitted that Zander did know where to hang out and have fun. Even his go-to place for a late-night snack was unique.I followed him into the place and immediately heard someone greet Zander.It was
Marsh's POVI found Olivia's gaze extremely uncomfortable. She had never looked at me like this before, and her words made me even more uncomfortable.I frowned, and my tone instantly turned icy cold. "Do you think I would fall for your trick of playing hard-to-get?"Warwick sighed when he heard me. "Marsh, that's a bit too much."Olivia looked at me and smiled. "Playing hard to get? Alpha Marsh, what makes you think that I am still infatuated with you?"She said, her face turning cold, before I could speak, she added, "Marsh, in case you didn't hear me before, let me make it clear to you again. We have already rejected each other. And I'm not a landfill, so you're not for me."Olivia finished speaking and glanced at Warwick. "If you still don't understand, I suggest you ask Warwick. I think he understands what I mean."As soon as the words fell, Olivia turned around and left.Warwick took a breath and glanced at me. "Marsh, is Olivia calling
Olivia's POVZander took the necklace back and immediately put it around his neck.He put the necklace back on himself after I wore it for over three years.I stood there, looking at the necklace on his collar, and after a while, I asked, "What about now? Are we even?"Zander didn't say anything. He approached me and stopped just a few centimeters in front of me. He then looked down at me and said, "No, Olivia."He said, reaching out and lifting my chin, then bending down to kiss me on the lips.After he was done, Zander licked his lips and said, "You still owe me, Olivia."He curved his lips, his deep eyes filled with a playful smile, alluring and captivating.Marsh's POVWhen I had just walked out, this was the scene I saw.I stood there, my gaze sweeping over the two people in front of me. When it landed on the necklace around Zander's neck, I felt as if my eyes had been pricked by a needle.I remember that necklace. It had a
Zander's POVI turned to her and got closer. "Do you feel disappointed after finding out about the truth?"I no longer smiled. I just stared at her tightly.I seemed to want to engulf her in my gaze, and Olivia instinctively tried to step back a little, but I held her waist from behind before she could.The traffic light in front turned green, and our car was in the front row. Since I didn't move at all, the cars behind us kept honking their horns to urge us.Olivia couldn't help but raise her hand and push me lightly, saying, "The light turned green."I twitched my eyebrows and then restarted the car.As for the question Olivia did not answer, and I never asked it again.The silence lasted until the car stopped downstairs at Olivia's apartment. Only then did I speak again, "I will drive the car back tonight and return it to you tomorrow morning. You shouldn't mind, right?"After all, just over half an hour ago she had used me to irritate
Olivia's POVI wasn't sure whether Zander was serious about me. And I wasn't sure whether the guy from four years ago was indeed him.Yet what I was quite sure about was that Marsh was indeed annoying.Early in the morning, I woke up and found several missed calls from Hannah on my phone. I thought it was the result of the investigation from four years ago, so when I called back, I couldn't help but marvel at the efficiency of Hannah's cousin Tom.However, after the phone was connected, the first thing Hannah said on the other end of the line was, "Olivia, you haven't left the house today, have you?"It was Sunday, and I wanted to go to the gym.As soon as Hannah opened her mouth, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "What? Is my house surrounded by people?""Did you just wake up? Haven't you seen the messages I sent you?"I hadn't.Thus, I put her on speaker and then switched to WhatsApp to check her messages. It turned out she
Marsh's POVI didn't expect that public attention would turn to Emily.She had been back for several days, always acting low-key, because she was afraid of being noticed by the people from the Dawn Pack. Unexpectedly, she didn't do anything this time but ended up being innocently harmed.Feeling annoyed as I watched the increasing popularity on social media, I got Emily's phone call.As I picked up the phone, my tone immediately turned cold. "What's the matter?""Marsh, did you see what happened online?""What do you want to say?""Marsh, it wasn't me who did things online. Really, it wasn't me! What should I do now? Should I take Lily back to the Dawn Pack?"I looked downstairs, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted, and said coldly, "You don't need to do anything, I will handle it."Upon hearing my words, Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright then, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."After hanging up the phone,
Warwick's POVI had been Marsh's buddy for over twenty years, and whenever I heard those negative comments, I couldn't help but stand out and say a few words in his defense.When facing doubts and pressures from the outside, support from friends became particularly important.The gossiper smiled and asked, "So, Alpha Marsh doesn't have an affair with Emily?" I couldn't respond to that. A few of our friends knew that Marsh had indeed attended many werewolf events with Emily recently, though they broke up after just two months. But if someone really wanted to investigate, they could probably find some traces. As the Alpha of the Dawn Pack, Marsh was always the focus. Any of his actions could be magnified and interpreted.I was speechless and extremely frustrated, completely baffled by Marsh's confusing actions last night.I didn't feel like drinking or picking up girls anymore, so I picked up my car keys and walked out without hesitation. Several people tried
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
