Chapter 110

Olivia's POV

The grand hall buzzed with energy, filled to the brim with laughter and conversations. Yet, I felt more isolated than ever. I did my best to Ignore the feeling of being watched. I engaged in polite conversations with several Alphas. Most were cordial and respectful, but one stood out—Alpha Reed. His genuine kindness and easy manner provided a much-needed respite from the emotional storm brewing inside me.

I could feel Alexander’s frequent gaze on me. But I didn’t have any reactions.

As the evening drew on and the crowd thinned, I found myself overwhelmed by the suffocating atmosphere. I needed air, a moment to escape the world's expectations and untangle my emotions. Sliding quietly out of the French doors and onto the balcony, I let the cool night breeze caress my face. The city's lights twinkled below like distant stars, offering a small comfort.

Closing my eyes, I drifted into a fragile peace. Aura, my wolf, stirred inside me, her presence a mix of strength and caution.
