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, IWarwick'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
Marsh's POVI wanted to rebel against the arranged marriage that Justin had planned for me. It just so happened that Lily was my girlfriend, making her the perfect choice.But later, Lily got into an accident while saving me. Before going into surgery, she cried and held onto my sleeve, asking if I would wait for her.I felt a rare pang of sympathy. Facing my girlfriend who had just saved me, I couldn't bring myself to say "no."After Lily fell into a coma and became vegetative, Justin forced me to choose between two options, which sparked my rebellion.That day, as I watched the plane carrying Lily take off into the sky, it was as if I could see a string attached to it, with Justin holding the other end.And I was like that plane.Sure enough, barely half a month after Lily went abroad, Justin arranged for me to meet the daughter of another pack's Alpha, who was considered a suitable match.I resisted in many ways, but I knew that if I left recklessly, the pack would become unstable.
Marsh's POV"What did you find?" I asked.Jeffrey remained silent.I said, "Tell me. I want to know.""The investigation results are not good. Based on what I know about you, you will be angry when you see them," Jeffrey said. After setting down the documents, he tried to leave, giving me some space.This made me realize that what he said was true.He left me alone to process the information and also to avoid my anger.Just as Jeffrey was about to turn around and leave, he noticed the stomach medicine on my desk.He quickly looked at me and asked, "Alpha Marsh, are you having a stomachache?"Not many people knew about this.Generally, werewolves didn't get sick, especially an Alpha like me.But my wolf had never been completely healthy due to an accident in my childhood.So I had been suffering from stomach problems.At that time, to avoid affecting my succession as Alpha, I kept it a secret.Jeffrey and Olivia were among the few who knew.When I heard Jeffrey's words, my hands that h
Olivia's POVLandon's visit was nothing more than a small episode to me.I didn't take his words from Alpha Justin seriously.After all, I was Alpha Marsh's mate for three years. I could guess some of Alpha Justin's thoughts.Compared to that, I cared more about the bidding plan for the land we were bidding on tomorrow.I rejected the plan proposed in the meeting just now. Morgan didn't dare to oppose me as he used to.I was the daughter of the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack. The entire Wonder Group was affiliated with the Red Moon Pack. Alpha Hunter had only me as a daughter.That is to say, I am the future helmsman of Wonder Group.Who dared to ignore my words now?The plan was sent back, and the relevant departments immediately started working on it.I was flipping through some documents. I was originally planning to have lunch after reviewing the remade bidding plan.However, what came faster than the biddi
Alpha Marsh's POVI had just finished the meeting when I saw Jeffrey standing at the door, looking at me cautiously.I gave him a cold look and said, "Go ahead, what's the matter?""Mr. White just called me. Alpha Justin wants you to return to the Dawn Pack immediately."I glanced at Jeffrey, "I see."With that, I stepped over and entered the elevator.I had a pretty good idea why Alpha Justin wanted to see me.I had anticipated part of it, but not the other."So you're saying you want me to mark Olivia again and let her continue to be the Luna of the Dawn Pack?" I asked in surprise.Alpha Justin glared at me, "Why? Do you really want that Lily to become the Luna of our Dawn Pack? She doesn't even have the bloodline of a Beta."I naturally had no intention of mating Lily. But I thought it was absolutely impossible to mate with Olivia again."Let's not discuss the new Luna for now. What you said about me re-
Landon's POVSoon, Wendy led me upstairs."Ms. Johnson," I said.I have been Alpha Justin's Beta for over twenty years, so I couldn't help but carry a bit of his condescending pride in my voice.Olivia let out a light hum. "Landon, the honor is all mine with your visit."Alpha Justin used to look down on Olivia. That somewhat influenced me.Even though Olivia's status has changed. She's no longer the person she was before, but we were used to belittling her.So, my attitude towards her now wasn't much better.Olivia used to treat me with great respect. It was the first time she's spoken to me in such a manner.A wave of dissatisfaction welled up in my heart. But thinking of Alpha Justin's instructions, I suppressed myself. "Ms. Johnson, Alpha Justin needs you now. Go with me."Olivia looked at me. The smile on her face faded instantly. "Landon, you certainly have a way with words. You're in my company now and you
Olivia's POVMy words made Emily's face stiffen for a moment.But she recovered quickly.After a slight intake of breath, she spoke again, "Alright, maybe I've misunderstood you."She continued, "Let's talk about the apology. Could you please let us off the hook this time? Lily is very unstable right now. You might not know that she became a vegetative state to save Alpha Marsh, lying in a hospital bed for nearly five years. Before she went into surgery, Alpha Marsh personally promised her that he would mate her. But now that she's back and lucid, she found out you were once Alpha Marsh's mate, which made her think wrongly and lie about you."Emily's expression changed slightly as she went on, "Besides, why Alpha Marsh made you his mate back then, I think you know very well. The past is the past. Now, you and Alpha Marsh have separated. You don't need to be stuck in the past. Lily did wrong, but the doctor said she has depression. Please understand
Olivia's POV"Lily's got her heart set on joining the Dawn Pack. Alpha Justin is so angry that he's in the hospital now. I doubt even if she groveled, she couldn't get into the Dawn Pack!"I gave Hannah a faint smile and said, "Don't be so sure about that."People like Alpha Justin, who's all about the bottom line, might just let Lily in one day.But what does it have to do with me?Nothing. Really.I pushed my chair back, got up, and headed to my room as Hannah called after me, "Hey, Olivia. What's up?""Get changed. I'm heading to work."I'd taken a day off yesterday, missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars.Hannah, the lady of leisure, found my words boring.She, with all her free time, couldn't grasp the joy of working.I came out dressed and saw Hannah still there, tsking, "Why are you still here?""Your guest room bed is super comfy. I'm catching some Zs before I go. Alpha Zander woke m
Olivia's POVAfter posting on Twitter last night, I went to sleep. I knew full well that the internet would be in chaos when I woke up this morning.When I woke up today, I felt much better.I glanced at my phone and saw two missed calls, one from Blanche and one from Wendy.My WhatsApp was also filled with unread messages, mostly about the posts.Blanche initially sent text messages. But about an hour later, after probably seeing my new Twitter, she sent several voice messages, then.I couldn't help but smile helplessly. Last night, I was provoked by Alpha Marsh and, coinciding with a cold, my reaction was a bit slow. I didn't think it through and posted on Twitter.Hunter and Blanche are aware of the situation now.Last time when we went to the Dawn Pack, they were still polite. But only a few days later, Lily showed up to falsely accuse me.Hunter was furious when he heard about it and immediately asked his assistant
Alpha Marsh's POVI didn't expect Lily to make such a request. I couldn't help but frown.It was Lily who pushed me away, saving me from the car accident.But I never considered making her my mate.I never said that what she did was unnecessary. As an Alpha, my wolf would have me dodge the danger at the speed of light.Saying that would make me seem heartless.Perhaps seeing my continued silence, Lily couldn't help but speak up, "Alpha Marsh, have you fallen for Olivia?""No.""Then why don't you mark me? Why don't you make me your mate?""Because I don't like you.""If Olivia is your second chance, would you mark her again?""No.""Olivia won't be your second chance either, Alpha Marsh. I can tell she truly doesn't want to love you anymore."I glanced at her.Lilly said this with a strange, triumphant smile, looking at me.I didn't know what made her think she won. I didn't know
Olivia's POVThe voice on the phone recording was indeed Lily's."Ms. Johnson, hello, this is Lily. I truly had no idea about Marsh marrying you as a shield, but regardless, this whole thing started because of me, so I should still apologize to you. Ms. Johnson, are you listening to me?"This statement might sound innocent, but anyone with half a brain could tell there was something off about what Lily said.Perhaps because I remained silent, Lily also paused for a few secon
Olivia's POV"The villa in Elephant Hill, if I remember correctly, should be worth over 90 million dollars now, right? The apartment in Cloud Garden should also be worth over 30 million dollars. Your asset appreciation in the past three years, even if calculated at 3%, would be at least 4 to 5 billion dollars. Rounded up, that's at least 150 million dollars. So, all in all, you have given me at least 300 million dollars."You are so generous."Marsh frowned, "I know you're not willing to accept this."
