Olivia's POV

As Alpha Zander's voice just fell, I heard the guests gasp in surprise.

Marsh's face darkened. Clearly, he wasn't expecting Alpha Zander to back me up in public.

Emily froze, the smirk dying on her lips.

"Well, Alpha Zander—" Marsh stammered, trying to explain, but Alpha Zander just waved his hand, signaling him not to continue.

"I've made myself pretty clear," said Alpha Zander, his voice dripping with authority.

Emily squeezed out her reluctant apology through gritted teeth, "Since that's the case, I'll apologize for what I've done."

With that, she walked toward me with her wine glass in hand.

Noticing the flicker of annoyance in her eyes, I took a step back, but it was too late.

She had pretended to trip over her dress and spilled the wine all over my white gown.

The crisp sound of the glass shattering on the floor made the crowd kick up a low buzz of surprise.

The deep red stains on the white fabric stood out, like a pristine canvas marred by a sudden, violent stroke

    Olivia's POVMy thoughts were a whirlwind as I left the lounge.Alpha Zander's offer had caught me completely off guard.I gotta make a choice, but it wasn't easy.With heavy steps, I descended the stairs and paused at the landing.I called out to my wolf, trying to discuss with me about what had happened."Elara, what do you think about Alpha Zander's offer? As long as we become his Luna for a year, we'll get our freedom and power back," I whispered.After a moment, Elara's voice sounded in my mind, sounding a bit raspy."I'm not sure, Olivia. Marsh is our mate. Perhaps we should figure out a way to win him back instead of leaving with someone else.""I used to have the same idea, and I've tried. But he's clearly obsessed with Emily. And I don't wanna waste my time on an unfaithful mate," I sighed."Have you thought it through? If we reject Marsh, we might not get a second chance mate."Marsh's blatant betrayal and our weakening mating bond had left my wolf weak and insecure.I sooth

    Olivia's POVMorning light slipped through the gaps in the curtains, gently caressing my face.I awoke from my bed, immediately feeling a pang of hunger.So much had happened last night. I'd only had a couple of drinks and barely eaten anything.Now, this emptiness in my stomach urged me to get up.After freshening up, I made my way to the packhouse's dining area.Entering the dining hall, I hoped to find some solace from my acquaintances in the pack, but what greeted me was indifference.The guards who had fought alongside me carried trays past me.They merely glanced my way, one of them offering a slight nod.None of them initiated a greeting.The respect they once held for me was gone.I knew it was because of Marsh.His affair with Emily had hurt not only our mating bond but also my prestige within the pack.I walked into the dining area where an Omega was busy flipping eggs behind the buffet counter, spreading butter on toast.I approached with a smile. "Could you please give me

    Zander's POVFrom Olivia's reaction when she saw me at the dinner party, I knew she thought it was the first time we'd met.I read shock and confusion in her bewildered expression.But actually, we'd crossed paths before, not at some meticulously planned event, but by sheer chance.The moment I first saw her was etched indelibly in my memory.It was at a werewolf school in Los Angeles, a place that groomed future leaders of wolf packs.Olivia stood out even among a crowd of exceptional students.Her beauty and charm were hard to resist.My wolf felt a strong pull towards her.Every time I got close to Olivia, my wolf seemed more excited.But if that was the attraction between a pair of destined mates, then why didn't Olivia feel the same about me?She only saw me as a stranger who went to the same school as her, which made me uncomfortable.However, that was only part of the reason I didn't approach her.I stayed away because I was afraid.I was certain I'd lose control around her, wh

    Olivia's POVI drove the newly bought car back to the Dawn Pack.Marsh and Emily seemed not back yet, while I wasn't in the mood to look for them.I went upstairs to take my luggage and loaded it into the car.After it was done, I went back to my bedroom and fell into a deep slumber.A while later, Hannah's call awoke me from sleep."Sweetheart, long time no see. How about we have dinner together?""Hannah, we just met at noon." I rubbed my forehead with a chuckle. "And we're attending Alpha Zander's banquet tonight.""Speaking of which, Alpha Zander seems to pursue you, right?" Hannah asked."Maybe, he sent me flowers today," I said, casting a glance at the bouquet. "But I don't want a relationship now. My priority is to get away from Marsh.""Alpha Zander is in charge of the Blackthorn Pack, which totally puts Marsh in the shade. Are you really not interested in him?" she smiled."Let's talk about that after I get my company back." I quickly got off the bed to freshen up."Alright,

    Olivia's POVAs the final notes of the dance music echoed through the banquet hall, the crowd gradually melted away, leaving the place a mess with scattered cups and plates as well as murmurs.Zander walked up to me, whispering, "Have you signed the papers?""Not yet," I admitted frankly. "But I will leave the Dawn Pack and head to San Francisco with you.""Leaving the Dawn Pack does not mean you have to wander like a rogue. The Blackthorn Pack is spacious where you can live comfortably," Zander offered, and his brows slightly furrowed.When I looked at him, warmth welled up inside me. "Alpha Zander, I appreciate your kindness. But I won't end up being on the streets. I have my own plan and place to go."Zander did not insist. Instead, he took a step back and smiled, "I got it. My car will depart early tomorrow morning. Let's meet at the hotel entrance and set off.""I will be there on time," I said."After you leave the Dawn Pack, we will discuss how to get rid of Marsh and get back

    Olivia's POV"Where are you going?" Marsh frowned, displeasure written all over his face."San Francisco. I'm gonna participate in Zander's Los Angeles project, and before that, I plan to visit the Blackthorn Pack," I replied calmly."I've told you. You are not allowed to leave," Marsh said with a stern face.My eyes widened in anger."I've already promised Alpha Zander," I emphasized."You have no say in this. She'll leave with me!" Zander roared from behind us, startling Marsh.His presence, like a dark thunderstorm, exuded a domineering aura, portending impending destruction."Alpha Zander," Marsh nodded to him, arguing, "but she can't leave. My pack can't arrange a driver for her!"Zander pointed to several guards behind him. "I've brought many drivers, and I will arrange one for her.""Thank you." I nodded to Zander to express my gratitude.What Marsh did in front of Zander made me feel like I was insignificant in the pack.It sucked.I comforted myself that I would soon be separ

    Olivia's POVStaring at Marsh, I raised my eyebrow and chuckled, "Yes, I did. So what? Alpha Marsh, wanna get even for your beloved?"Marsh had never been provoked like this before. He looked at me in front of him, sullen.He wanted to release his Alpha aura here but seemed to have some concerns.With a stern face, Marsh was about to speak when I blurted out, "You stay out of my lane, and I'll stay out of yours. Otherwise, I'll show the public more details about how Emily seduced Alpha Zander. You should know how people love juicy stuff, right?"Then I ceased to smile and looked at Marsh coldly. "Control your woman."With that, I turned around and strode off, leaving Marsh and the fuming Emily.While walking out, I saw Emily so angry that she wanted to chase up but was stopped by Marsh.She looked back at him. "Marsh?"Marsh darted a cold glance at her, saying nonchalantly, "Don't mess with her."Emily was a bit aggrieved. "But she hit me..."Marsh let go of her hand and looked up, on

    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

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
