Olivia's POVI stood there, shocked at first, and then confused. Enzo has told me that we were attending a birthday party of a business partner, but it seemed he had lied to me. The restaurant was beautiful, much fancier than I expected. The soft glow of golden chandeliers lit the room, reflecting on shiny glasses and silverware. Everything seemed perfect, almost too perfect. There were also just a handful of people inside. Standing there were Sonia, smiling brighter than I’d ever seen her; Adams, who grinned like he had a secret; and Enzo’s mother, her eyes soft and full of emotion. There were also a few other people who seemed to be waiters. I still hadn't fully processed what was going on, and I turned around to look at Enzo with one of my eyebrows raised, and he just laughed. “What’s going on?” I asked myself softly. Enzo walked beside me, his hand lightly on my back. His touch was warm, but something about him felt different tonight. He wasn’t his usual relaxed self. He seem
Third person POVThe wedding reception had gone on for a while, and after their first dance in the moonlight, they decided to leave and call it a night. They were cheered by the crowd as they left, and Enzo lifted Olivia and carried her into the house and up the stairs. He walked into the room and closed the door behind them. He put her down and pushed her into the wall, staring into her eyes before leaning down for a soft kiss, which quickly turned to an urgent one. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled down the zipper of her dress, so it pulled at her feet. They had done this before, but all of a sudden, it felt so new. His hands wandered all over her body, stirring primal heat in her belly. She was so cut in the moment, she did not notice when he brought his hands up to her lingerie which she didn't have the chance to showcase and tore it into two, she only knew that she wanted his mouth on the flesh he had exposed. Before she could get too impatient, Enzo pressed his lip
Olivia's POV months laterThe city lights shined through the window of our hospital room, a sharp contrast to the sterile white walls and the faint beeping of the monitors. I leaned back against the bed, one hand gripping the railing, the other clutching Enzo’s hand tightly. The contractions had started hours ago, each one stronger and closer together, making my entire body tremble with effort. Enzo sat beside me, his eyes locked on mine, his face full of worry and love. “You're doing amazing, babe,” he whispered, his thumb brushing over the back of my hand. “Just a little longer.” I let out a shaky breath, trying to focus on his voice instead of the pressure building in my abdomen. My hospital gown clung to my damp skin, and the room felt far too bright. “I’m not sure I can do this,” I admitted through gritted teeth as another contraction surged through me. “Yes, you can,” Enzo said firmly, leaning closer. His tone was gentle but commanding, the voice of my Alpha, my husb

Olivia's POV“Happy birthday, my dear Olivia,” I heard my mother's usual cheerful voice pierce through my sleep, jolting me awake. Blinking my eyes open, I saw her seated beside me on the bed, her charming smile lighting up her face, her sea-blue eyes — the same ones I inherited — brimming with happiness and love.“Happy fourteenth birthday, my darling.” Mother's smile widened, and I smiled as I tried to sit in bed. “Good morning, Mother,” I greeted, rubbing my face with my hands.“Morning, my darling. Are you excited to get your wolf?” Mother asked, and I swallowed nervously, which she noticed.“You don’t have to be scared. If you don’t get your wolf today, you still have a chance on your eighteenth birthday when you might also find your mate,” she reassured me. I nodded, comforted by her words.“So, I want you to dress up and come downstairs; everyone is waiting for you.”“Alright, Mother,” I nodded while she kissed me before leaving my room.After she left, I stood to my feet and w
Olivia's POV Six years later The loud beeping of the alarm jolted me from my sleep. Grumbling tiredly, I opened my eyes, reached for my phone, and realized it was already 5pm. “Shit!” I blurted and jumped out of bed. “Damn it! I will be late again.” I grunted and rushed to the bathroom. After taking a quick bath, I dressed up, packed my hair in a bun, grabbed my things, and rushed out of my apartment. I was lucky to get a taxi, and in a few minutes, I was at the club. Hurriedly, I went into the locker room, changed into my uniform, and made my way to the bar. “You are late,” Sonia murmured. “I'm sorry, I had a class today, and after getting home, I decided to take a nap. I didn’t know I set my alarm wrongly.” I explained to Sonia, who nodded understandingly. “Well, you are lucky Sir Linus hasn’t come yet.” I sighed in relief at her words and got on with work. “A glass of my usual whiskey,” DOM Phillip requested as he sat on the long stool. “Alright, sir.” I nodded and went for
Olivia’s POV The crowd's reaction was immediate. Cheers and applause erupted as I moved sensuously, my body becoming a tantalizing silhouette against the spotlight. I locked eyes with a few of the men in the front row, their lustful gazes feeding my performance. Despite my initial nerves, I felt a surge of confidence. This was my moment to shine, to earn the money I desperately needed. As I continued to dance, I couldn't help but scan the crowd for familiar faces. High-profile businessmen and celebrities often frequented the club, their identities hidden behind masks. As I made my signature moves, my eyes met those of a masked DOM. He looked different and unfamiliar. Despite not being able to see the faces of Doms, I could easily recognize our usual members by the color and shape of their eyes, but this DOM, I was sure I hadn’t seen him before. He was fully masked, with only his lips and piercing green eyes visible. He was sitting in a VIP booth, his gaze fixed on me with an intens
Olivia's POVMy heart pounded in my chest, my breath coming in shallow gasps. The masked man with the scorpion tattoo, the one who had haunted my nightmares, was here, right in front of me. Years of grief and a burning desire for vengeance surged within me. How could it be him?I took another look at the tattoo and my eyes dilated. I wasn’t mistaken. It was him. It wasn’t a coincidence. He was the one who shot my father. He was here, my worst nightmare sitting before me.Quickly, I stepped away from him and saw his brow furrow. “Excuse me,” I murmured in panic and didn’t wait for him to respond before sprinting away.My steps were hurried and unsteady as I stumbled backstage, my mind racing with a mix of fear and anger. I pressed my back against the wall, trying to steady my breathing. My hands shook as I wrapped my arms around myself, attempting to calm the storm raging inside me.The scorpion tattoo. The assassin of my family. Here. Now. How could he be here? Was it a coincidence, o

Olivia's POV I woke up to soft kisses on my face. Smiling, I already knew who it was. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed Alpha Enzo kissing me on my face. I faked annoyance and groaned, but he chuckled and hugged me. "Good morning, mate!" he said softly, and I felt the familiar flutter of butterflies in my stomach. It had been a week since we discovered we were mates, and Enzo had never missed an opportunity to call me that. He called me "mate" literally everywhere—in the office, at the club. In fact, everyone knew I was Enzo's mate. Due to my pregnancy, I was advised to stop working at the club, and I agreed. Now, I only worked at the company. Enzo kissed my forehead and then leaned down to place a kiss on my stomach. I smiled and gently stroked his head as he softly rested it against my stomach. "I can hear his heartbeat," he said, and I smiled, knowing he was telling the truth. Werewolf fathers could hear the heartbeat of their pups just by placing a hand. "How do you know i
Enzo’s POV “Enzo…” I could see the shocked look in her tear-filled eyes when she realized I was awake. “You’re back…” she exclaimed through tears and hugged me, sobbing loudly. “Thank you, Enzo. Thank you for not dying. I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” She blurted out too many words at once, but all I could do was remain numb in her embrace as her words resounded in my ears. I heard something—she said something. When she finally pulled away, she looked at my face with tear-soaked eyes. I could see the relief and excitement in her gaze. “How are you feeling?” she asked, wiping the tears off her face with the back of her hands. I narrowed my gaze at her. The words I heard—the ones that forcefully pulled me out of my unconsciousness—still resounded in my head. “Olivia, what was it you were saying?” I asked softly but curiously. Of course, I clearly heard what she said, but I couldn’t believe it. I wanted her to say it again. Olivia hesitated, fear and worry flickering in her eye
Olivia’s POVFor several minutes, I remained seated, holding Enzo’s hand as I cried silently, watching him remain lifeless. I wished I could turn back the hands of time. I wished I could have asked him questions instead of making such mistakes, which I am now living to regret.The door opened, and Enzo’s mother walked in. I held her gaze and could tell she had been crying; her eyes were red and puffy.“Olivia, the healers want to work on him, and you have to give them space,” she said softly. I nodded and looked back at Enzo, who remained lifeless. Wiping my tears with the back of my hand, I slowly stood up and let go of his hand.Enzo’s mother led me out of the room, and we descended the stairs, arriving at the sitting room where Adams and a familiar lady sat. I frowned when I recognized her as Clara—the same lady we met at the auction. She was the one who told me she and Enzo were once a couple, the one who showed me a picture of her and Enzo and told me he was dangerous. My brow fu
Olivia’s POV Her words hit me like a tidal wave, and I choked out a sob. “He still loves me…” I whispered, my heart aching with the weight of her revelation. “Of course he does,” she said firmly. “And you’re carrying his child. That means something, Olivia. It means you’re family now, no matter what happens. If Enzo wakes up and, for some reason, doesn’t want you, I will make sure you and that baby are protected.” Her declaration left me speechless. The woman who should have hated me was promising me safety, support, and a future. I didn’t know how to respond, so I just nodded, my tears falling freely. She straightened, her presence as regal as ever. “Rest, Olivia. You and this baby are my priority now. I’ll do everything in my power to ensure you’re both safe.” I nodded again but was still concerned and worried about Enzo. “Can I please see him? I really want to see him,” I pleaded desperately. Alpha Enzo's mother nodded immediately. “Yes, I will take you to him once you are d
Olivia's POV I came conscious to the sound of hushed voices around me. Confused, I forced my eyes open, and the first thing that came into view was the white ceiling. Then I turned sideways and met Sonia’s worried but relieved eyes. “Olivia, you’re awake,” she said with relief as she took my hand and gave it a small squeeze. I smiled faintly at her and then shifted my gaze to the other people in the room. The first person I noticed was Adams, his hands shoved into his pockets, wearing a blank expression. But then I saw someone beside him, and my eyes widened silently. It was Alpha Enzo’s mom; I recognized her instantly. Unlike Enzo, she had a relieved look on her face, seemingly grateful to see me. Confused, I swallowed hard and slowly sat up while Sonia helped adjust the pillow behind me. As I darted my eyes around the room, I realized we were in a hospital. Alpha Enzo’s mother stepped forward and stood beside me. I swallowed hard, bracing myself for her to lash out or yell
