Olivia's POVAfter finishing the water, I felt a bit better and decided to order some takeout and fever reducers online. Then I slumped on the couch.I stared blankly at the cat-shaped clock on the wall that Hannah had given me, watching its tail swing back and forth as my thoughts drifted away.Memories of the past flashed through my mind like a slideshow, including the accident when I was fifteen years old.Marsh's former warmth and later coldness were intertwined, making my mood increasingly heavy.And now, the weakness from being sick plunged me into a powerless daze.Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and without thinking much, I assumed it was the delivery guy with my food.When I opened the door and saw Zander, I couldn't help but freeze. "Zander?""You're not dreaming. It's me," Zander said with a smile that sparkled in the sunlight, though I had no mood to appreciate it at the moment.He reached out and touched my forehead before I could dodge, forcing me to watch as he placed his
Olivia's POVWe locked eyes for a few seconds, and in the end, I backed down.At that moment, my wolf fell into a deep sleep. My head was spinning, and tears welled up in my eyes. Instantly, I gave in."I'll go get a coat."Zander straightened up, rubbed his eyelids, and smiled at me with satisfaction, saying, "Go ahead."In March, it was still a bit cold in Los Angeles.I didn't want to go back to the Red Moon Pack to see a werewolf doctor. It would make my parents worry.So Zander took me to the hospital. When we arrived, all the doctors were busy. I breathed a sigh of relief, "The doctors are going to take a break. I'll just go back and take some fever-reducing pills."My physical condition had always been good, but this time I suddenly fell ill. Most likely, I was distracted while taking a bath at home last night, and by the time I snapped out of it, the water had already turned cold.Although werewolves had a strong physique, the intense emotional fluctuations and negligence in t
Olivia's POVMarsh didn't expect to run into Zander and me here.I caught a glimpse of him in my peripheral vision. He saw me being held in Zander's arms.I was lying in Zander's arms, showing only half of my face.Noticing his gaze, Zander slightly shifted his position and blocked Marsh's sight.Emily was next to Marsh. When she saw me in Zander's arms, she was stunned, and then suddenly rushed to Zander's side.She raised her hand and pulled me, "What did you say to Lily?"Zander failed to dodge in time. I was pulled by Emily, revealing my entire face.I opened my eyes, the sunlight was blinding, and Emily's hysterical questioning echoed in my ears.I furrowed my brows and was perplexed.I moved slightly, and suddenly a familiar male voice sounded, "Enough! Lily needs to see a doctor now!"Marsh gave Emily a cold look. After speaking, his gaze swept over me as he quickly walked into the hospital while holding Lily.Emily ran after Marsh, crying all the way, towards the hospital.I t
Olivia's POVZander, however, seemed not to get my point and glanced at me, saying, "I won't disturb you. Just go have a rest."I was speechless when I just wanted to say "You should leave".We both stood still for a while, and finally, it was Zander who spoke first, "Fever can lead to serious problems. Just go back to your room and rest. Once you get better, I won't bother you anymore."After all, he took me to the hospital, so I couldn't say anything too heartless to him.
Olivia's POV"How could it have anything to do with me?" I threw the question back at Hannah directly.Saying that, I reached out and took a tissue from the side, wiped the corner of my lips, and continued asking, "What did they say about me online?"Although I hadn't checked, I knew for sure that people were criticizing me on the internet when Emily suddenly blurted out that sentence this afternoon.In the whirlpool of public opinion, rumors and malice often spread extremel
Marsh's POVAfter Alpha Justin found out about this, he was so angry that he couldn't even take a nap.He called me, but I didn't answer.Jeffrey said that Alpha Justin was very mad at Olivia in the morning, but now his anger had shifted to Lily's family."I heard old Alpha say that Lily is definitely not a simple woman." Jeffrey said, muttering to himself, "Lily is indeed not simple. She has only been back in the country for a short time and has already caused so much troub
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."
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
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.
