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 dMarsh'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
Marsh's POVIt was rare to see Warwick being so serious, and his words actually made sense.I sobered up a bit and started to think about it.I only knew that someone put wolfsbane in my wine, and I didn't investigate it thoroughly.As an Alpha, I had resistance to wolfsbane.But that night, I couldn't resist it at all.And Jeffrey happened to be on leave and wasn't around.I staggered back to the room and made a phone call. But just as I hung up, a woman pushed the door open and walked in.That woman knew me, and she called my name, saying that she had liked me for a long time.I was drugged, and my senses became unusually sharp. But when that woman threw herself at me, I failed to react in time.My wolf seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.I couldn't wake it up, nor could I shift.Plus, at that time, the old Alpha Justin had been urging me to marry the daughter of another wolf pack's Alpha, so as to strengthen the Daw
Zander's POVWhere should I go?Places that were still open now were bars, clubs, food stalls, and things like that.But if it was for fighting, I just needed to find an open and less crowded place.So, I drove to the riverside.It was past midnight, and there was no one by the river now.I took off my coat and slightly unbuttoned my shirt. After getting out of the car, I stood under the street lamp, waiting for Marsh to get out of his car.Then, I rolled up my sleeves and charged straight at Marsh, throwing a punch at him while roaring, "I've been dying to do this, Marsh!""Yeah? Well, me too, Zander!"We began to fight, with each punch carrying full force.Warwick, who was about to get off, was frightened when he saw this, and he quickly sat back down, sitting inside the car quietly and watching.I didn't care if someone was watching.Marsh and I punched and kicked without mercy, and neither of us wanted to stop first.
Warwick's POVI pulled Marsh and Zander apart. Because Marsh had got a few punches from Zander, he sobered up quite a bit.He glared at Zander, wiping off the bloodstain at the corner of his mouth.Suddenly, he chuckled and said with a sneer, "You wouldn't actually have fallen for Olivia, would you? You want her to be your mate?"After a short pause, he contemptuously added, "What a shame. She was my mate. I had her before you did, Zander. This time, you lost, completely.""Marsh!"When I saw Zander about to start a fight again, I quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "Zander, stop it. He's drunk. He was talking nonsense. Don't get so serious with a drunk guy, OK? Besides, he got drunk tonight all because of Olivia. He felt upset because Olivia turned a cold shoulder to him, you know?"But when Marsh heard this, he chimed in angrily, "Shut up, Warwick!"Marsh was indeed drunk. Before we left the bar, I suddenly realized that the two bottles
Third person's POVWhat happened at the hotel got spread online at around two in the morning.In the dead of night, Olivia's words and the sudden appearance of Marsh's true love "Lily" evoked the netizens' enthusiasm.In social networks, the speed of information dissemination was as fast as lightning.Besides, Marsh was the Alpha of the Dawn Pack, who was also the influential boss of a major company in Los Angeles. Any movement of his could attract a great deal of public attention.Olivia's actions undoubtedly cause a great stir on the Internet.The discussion around this thing had never stopped. By the second day, about seven in the morning, the topic "True Love Lily" had already made it to the trending topics list.Hailey's phone was filled with questions and screenshots sent by her friends. When she woke up and saw the news, she was also confused.She couldn't help asking herself in her heart, 'Why did Marsh hit the headline again?'Wh
Marsh's POVWhen I arrived, Justin was already furious.Hailey kept talking incessantly, which only fueled Justin's anger further.Now I knew. She must have been badmouthing Olivia.Justin had strong opinions about Olivia to begin with, and it had taken some time for his temper to subside a little.Now, he turned his gaze towards me, ready to speak.Just then, Hailey said, "Grandpa, is Olivia deliberately clinging to our family? She is making trouble for us as the daughter of San Francisco's richest man!"Before Hailey spoke, although Justin was angry, he hadn't reached a boiling point.But once Hailey uttered those words, he flew into a rage.Not long ago, Hunter came over with a box of gold, claiming it was Olivia's living expenses for three years. That was an accusation that we mistreated Olivia. He wanted to draw a line in the sand and even mocked our pack with that gold.Justin had always valued his pride highly. After the news that Olivia was Hunter's daughter spread, countless
Third person's POVOlivia looked at Hannah with an amused smile, "Should I tell Blanche you have something to do and won't be joining us?""On second thought, we're such close friends. There's no need for such formalities, right?"Hannah quickly changed her tune, fearing Olivia would leave without her.Olivia, well aware of Hannah's character, hummed and turned to go upstairs.Hannah followed
Third person's POVOlivia fell into a deep sleep as soon as she changed into her pajamas, her body and mind desperately needing rest to recover from the exhaustion.This sleep lasted until the sun was high in the sky the next day. When Olivia opened her eyes, it was already past nine in the morning.After freshening up, Olivia discovered numerous messages from Hannah.Raising an eyebrow, she unlocked her phone and clicked into the message list.
Third person's POVMarsh remained silent, and Alpha Justin waited for a moment, but received no explanation.Furious, he threw the book in his hand forcefully. "Marsh, are you mute? Your silence will only make things worse. Your actions might trigger tension between our pack and the Red Moon Pack.""Alpha Justin, it's getting late. You should rest early," Marsh said, preparing to hang up the phone.The next moment, he heard Justin ask angrily, "Do you really not want to reco
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.
