Olivia's POV
Lily's expression slightly changed when she heard my words.But just for a moment, she quickly recovered and said, "I'm not quite sure what you are getting at, Ms. Johnson."I raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "It's okay. Anyway, you'll understand later.""What do you mean, Olivia?"Emily didn't even call me Ms. Johnson anymore. She just called me Olivia now.I glanced at her sideways and my gaze landed on her face.I suddenly found these two sisters quite interesting."I didn't mean anything. It's just that Lily has been back home for a while now, but it seems like nobody knows."My words hit Lillian right where it hurt.Lily dipped her head slightly, and within the angle I could see, her usually gentle eyes suddenly turned cold.I glanced at her with a half-smile. "I am a rather stubborn person. I want answers to some things. I happened to be free tonight, so I came to find those answers."Marsh did suMarsh's POVI didn't like the way Olivia looked at me. Her eyes carried emotions that made me feel uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but furrow my brows.Olivia sneered and looked at me with a poker face. "So you really went to great lengths for Lily. Since that's the case, I'll help you guys tonight."With that, she directly crossed over me and left the hotel room.Emily gained some confidence upon seeing me arrive.She couldn't resist grumbling as she watched Olivia's departing figure. "Has she lost her mind? Coming over out of the blue and saying some nonsense?"However, the room remained quiet, with no one echoing Emily's words.Lily watched Olivia's retreating figure until she was completely out of sight. Then, with a furrowed brow, Lily approached me.Lily looked guilty and worried as she said, "Marsh, Ms. Johnson doesn't seem to be doing well. Aren't you going to go check on her?"Hearing her words, I glanced down at her and said,
Marsh's POVI just felt a wave of irritation welling up inside me, and my brows furrowed involuntarily.Even though I tried to keep it together, I could tell my face was looking pretty grim at that moment.I had a clear sense of displeasure and irritation in my heart.I subconsciously wanted to pull Lily back. I didn't know why, but I just didn't want the reporters to take pictures of her.It was not that I didn't want Lily to be exposed. I just didn't want her to have any connection with my "new lover".However, as soon as I grabbed Lily's wrist, Zander's voice came right after. "Look, Mr. Walton's new love and old flame."Even from a distance of over ten meters, I could detect the sarcasm in Zander's voice.A swarm of reporters rushed over, and I turned around to leave. However, the elevator door behind me had already closed.Lily glanced at Olivia, who was not far away, and her lips twitched imperceptibly.However, when she looked
Olivia's POVWe were married for three years, and it seemed like he had never taken me seriously.In the Dawn Pack, whenever I had a conflict with Hailey or Emily, I didn't even have to say a word before he'd jump in and tell me to apologize.He used to look at me coldly, but just now, his eyes were full of disbelief and anger, like he wanted to tear me apart.As soon as I thought of this, I felt a faint sense of pleasure in my heart.I realized that I had changed. In the past, I used to feel that as long as Marsh could look at me, I could grit my teeth and endure everything.But now, I felt like I could only be happy if I saw Marsh being unhappy.Maybe it was because I couldn't let go, or maybe it was love turning into hate. I wouldn't deny it.But this feeling of revenge was so satisfying!Thinking about this, I couldn't help but laugh. Even my gaze at Zander held a bit more amusement. "Thank you."If it wasn't for Zander bringing
Lily's POV "How is it possible? Seriously, if they were really into each other, would they have broken up? Don't let your fears get the better of you. Olivia's not the type men fall for. She's too bossy, too arrogant. You saved Marsh's life, and you have a history together since childhood. Every time you were sick, he'd fly in from abroad just to be with you. As long as the bond of you saving his life is there, there's no way he'd just walk away from you completely." Emily's words were filled with confidence and certainty. Yet, the bonds of emotion are often complex and varied. The life-saving favor and childhood bond between Marsh and me became the reason why Emily firmly believed that Marsh would not easily give up on me. Men could be unbeatable when it came to ruthlessness. But when it came to having a soft spot, sometimes they could be even softer than women. Marsh was a man after all. With the favor I did by saving him, given time, he would fall fo
Olivia's POV After a long silence in the car, I turned my head and said to Zander, "Zander, I want to go back." "Go back to the hotel?" Zander raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. I nodded. "Yes." I paused for a moment as I spoke, my gaze fixed on the neon lights ahead. I smiled faintly, "I want to go back and see how unlucky Marsh was." Zander paused for a moment, then snapped out of it, and chuckled, "That's a great idea." As he spoke, he drove to the next intersection and turned around. "Great. I also wanted to see where Marsh's car was parked, making a fool of himself," Zander said with a smile. As Marsh left the hotel, there was a main road ahead, and he either turned left or right. With my wolf paw, I made a big tear, so the air would hiss out quickly. Marsh's car wouldn't be able to go far. My method seemed simple, but it was very effective. Zander turned at the intersection ahead and drove back. On the way back, I d
Marsh's POV I stood there, watching the car slowly drive away, feeling the cigarette in my mouth suddenly taste like nothing. They did it on purpose. I knew it clearly, yet I still couldn't suppress the restlessness in my heart. When Jeffrey pulled up to the spot I had mentioned, he saw me from afar, standing by the car with my head down, puffing on a cigarette. Jeffrey thought I was getting impatient, so he quickly pulled over, got out of the car, and walked over to me. "Alpha Marsh, I've already contacted the towing company. They should be here soon." Hearing Jeffrey's words, I looked up at him and extinguished the cigarette in my hand. "Give me the car keys." Jeffrey didn't dare to refuse and quickly handed me the car keys from his pocket. In just two seconds, the car that had just stopped sped off again. I felt more than just anger. There was an indescribable emotion that I couldn't quite put into words. I sat in the car, with Ol
Olivia's POV As the car passed through a bustling downtown area, Zander beside me asked, "Would you like to grab some late-night snacks?" I glanced sideways and said, "No, maybe next time." Now, I really wanted to go home, take a hot bath, and have a good sleep. At that moment, what I needed was some alone time and rest to sort out my thoughts. By the time the car stopped on the street outside the apartment, it was already past eleven at night. I unbuckled my seatbelt and turned my head toward Zander, saying, "Thanks for tonight. You don't have to walk me up." Hearing my words, Zander paused his movements, withdrew his hand, and rested it on the steering wheel, tapping it lightly as he looked at me through the half-open window. "Olivia, when is the next time?" Caught off guard by his question as I was about to leave, I paused briefly before a smile tugged at my lips. "Well, that depends on when I'll bump into you next time." With that, I
Warwick's POVAs I pushed open the private room door and saw the bottles on the table, I couldn't help but chuckle, "Come on. Getting drunk to drown your sorrows? That's not something I'd expect from you!"Marsh always seemed indifferent and detached, not easily stirred by emotions. I had known him for so many years, and I had never actually seen him drown his sorrows in alcohol.As soon as I walked in tonight, I saw two bottles of red wine on the table and Marsh was holding a glass. I didn't need to think twice to know that Marsh had encountered something.As a friend who had grown up together with him for over twenty years, I was definitely not the type to gloat over his troubles.Well, okay, I kind of was.I made an effort to suppress my smile and sat down beside Marsh. "Tell me, who managed to make you so angry that you came here to drown your sorrows?"Marsh looked at me coldly for a while before he finally spoke, "Did I really hurt Olivia so
Third person's POVOlivia was taken aback for a moment, then she said, "That's a good thing. It's like free publicity."However, Wendy's face showed no trace of a smile, and she worriedly said, "But there are quite a few people discussing how you got that piece of land. The current talk outside is that Alpha Marsh made up a project for Mr. Barkley, and that's why he gave you the land."Olivia clicked her tongue, saying, "What they're saying is also the truth. No need to pay attention to it."She thought to herself, these gossip reporters were incredibly boring, not tracking down celebrity scandals but instead digging into her affairs.But no matter how much they dug, she would just consider it as publicity for the project. Once the project was completed and launched, it would naturally bring its own traffic, saving a sum on publicity costs.Seeing Olivia unconcerned, Wendy could not say anything more.She suspected that the Dawn Pack
Third person's POVA smug smile crept onto Justin's face as he continued, "By the way, contact the media and spread the word about Marsh seeking Cedric's help to give land to Olivia. If that boy from the Blackthorn Pack can create public opinion, so can we, right?"Landon nodded in agreement, "Yes, Alpha Justin. I'll get it done right away."Justin waved his hand again, confident that Olivia would eventually become part of the Dawn Pack.Justin's understanding and control of human nature were indeed quite precise.After returning to her room from the study, Moira sat on the edge of her bed, staring intently at the small vial Justin had given her.She seemed restless and uneasy.The fact that Justin had asked her to drug Olivia filled Moira with both fear and reluctance.However, the resolute look on Justin's face made it clear that he was determined for her to carry out this task.Torn between her feelings, Moira eventua
Third person's POVJustin glanced up at her, nodding with a tone that was still wild, "Take a seat."Once Moira had settled, Justin spoke up slowly, handing her a box from beside him as he said."As Marsh's mother, you would want him to live a happy and fulfilling life. I hold Olivia in high regard, and you've had a harmonious relationship with her in the past. Marsh has always been too proud to humble himself for reconciliation. This is when you, as his mother, need to step up and do something for him."Moira listened, her face showing a puzzled expression. "Alpha Justin, what do you mean...?"Seeing that Moira still didn't grasp his intentions, Justin felt a hint of disdain within.But considering he needed her to carry out this task, he suppressed his dissatisfaction. "No matter what, you and Olivia have been families for three years. Take the initiative to reconnect with her, to foster the bond between you two."Only then did Moir
Third person's POVPaparazzi had photographed Zander's late-night stay at Olivia's apartment. Although Zander's secretary intercepted the photos, the news still spread within their social circles.Upon hearing this, Hailey couldn't help but say during breakfast, "Alpha Justin, I think Olivia doesn't want to reconcile with Marsh anymore. She's with Alpha Zander now!""Nonsense, how can they be together? Didn't that boy from the Blackthorn Pack just have a new lover?" Justin said, frowning.Hailey scoffed disdainfully, "Who knows? They're good at playing games. They spent the night together. What else could it be?"Thinking Hailey was making things up again, Justin's face darkened, and he scolded, "Are you talking nonsense again?""I'm not! Alpha Justin, if you don't believe me, look, there are photos! My friend sent them to me!" Hailey defended herself hastily, handing her phone to Justin.Justin took the phone and saw a photo of Zande
Third person's POVHis actions, as if coaxing a child, left Olivia feeling helpless.Her lower abdomen was indeed aching badly, and after a moment of resistance, she could no longer hold on.With a hint of exhaustion in her voice, she said, "I have an early meeting tomorrow. I need to rest. Do as you please."She thought to herself, 'let him do whatever he wants.' She truly didn't have the energy to deal with him tonight.As she stood up, a hand on her waist stopped her, and in the next instant, she was pulled back onto the sofa by Zander."What are you afraid of, Olivia?"He put down the spoon and looked up at her, "Are you afraid I've put wolfsbane in this drink, or that by drinking it, you'll have to marry me?"Hearing this, Olivia's face turned even colder, and her voice hardened, "Zander, do you know that the cheapest thing in the world is being good to someone without limits?""Oh, are you saying I'm being pathetic
Third person's POVOlivia's face was pale due to menstrual cramps, and her tone was impatient."Do you have a stomachache?" Zander asked with concern.Olivia didn't answer his question but coldly said, "Is there anything else?"As soon as she finished speaking, Zander suddenly picked her up. Her body tensed instantly, filled with surprise, but at the same time, a sharp pain in her lower abdomen made her consciousness a bit dazed.She clenched her teeth, her hands unconsciously grabbing Zander's shirt, her fingers turning white from the effort."Does it hurt a lot?" Zander asked while carrying her to the sofa, looking down at her with a furrowed brow and eyes full of worry.Olivia weakly leaned on the armrest of the sofa and softly said, "Could you please get me a glass of water?""Sure." Zander let go without hesitation, placed her on the sofa, and then walked to the water dispenser, pouring a cup of warm water and bringing it
Third person's POVZander lowered his head, gazing intently at her, his long eyelashes casting a small patch of shadow under his eyes. Between the interplay of light and shadow, his eyes sparkled with a gentle smile as he said, "I used underhanded methods, just to make you stand on my side.""..."His blunt honesty left Olivia at a loss for words.Marsh, who had just followed and was about to speak, suddenly found himself as if choked by something, unable to utter a single word upon hearing Zander's words.What could he say?Could he apologize for his impulsiveness last night?But if he questioned the reason for his impulsiveness, wasn't it because Zander was kissing Olivia?Every sentence seemed like a harsh slap to his own face. Marsh stood there stupefied, and suddenly, Warwick's words from last night surfaced in his mind. "In matters of love, you really can't compete with Alpha Zander."How had he responded at the ti
Third person's POV"Indeed, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time, Alpha Marsh. We didn't finish last night. Let's continue now!"Zander was not the least bit intimidated, and in an instant, a glimmer of emerald green flashed through his eyes, a sign that his wolf was about to be unleashed.He took a fierce step forward, and with it, a powerful Alpha aura surged towards Marsh like a tidal wave.The entire space seemed to tremble under the force of this aura.Marsh was equally unyielding. His eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, and a low growl rumbled from his throat, like a battle song from the ancient wilderness.His muscles tensed, and beneath his clothes, fur seemed to be trying to break through his skin, and veins bulged on his arms.He also released his Alpha aura, clashing and pressing against Zander's power in the air, forming an invisible vortex of energy.Zander moved like lightning, rushing towards Marsh. His arm
Third person's POVAfter finishing eating, Zander got out of the car and walked around to the other side to open the door for Olivia. He then proceeded to the trunk and lifted her suitcase out with ease.Instead of handing it over, he tilted his lips into a slight smile, his eyes conveying an unyielding determination, "I'll walk you up."Seeing this, Olivia reached for her suitcase, but Zander blocked her, transferring the luggage to his other hand while leaning in slightly, emphasizing his insistence.Hearing his words, Olivia raised her delicate eyebrows, a teasing glint in her eyes, "And then for a cup of coffee?""No coffee tonight, of course. If you insist on inviting me, I'll get one," Zander raised his eyebrows, a faint, playful smile appearing on his face.The originally ambiguous atmosphere in the car, as if shrouded in a veil of gauze, seemed to be dispersed slightly by a gentle breeze.Olivia's lips curled into a polite smi
