Olivia’s POV

The stall door rattled violently against my back as Emily’s high-pitched voice echoed through the restroom.

“Get out here, Olivia! Or are you too much of a coward to face me?” she screeched, her fists pounding on the door.

My breathing was shallow, my chest heaving as I pressed myself harder against the cold metal, as if it could somehow shield me from her rage. My palms felt clammy, and I clenched them into fists to stop them from trembling.

“Do you seriously think hiding in there will save you? You’re pathetic, Olivia! Always have been.” Emily’s laugh was sharp, a knife slicing through the silence. “You think you’re better than everyone just because you’ve got that tragic little face and those pitiful doe eyes. Newsflash: you’re nothing. Less than nothing.”

The words stung, but I forced myself to swallow the lump rising in my throat. She was baiting me, trying to draw me out, but I couldn’t afford to react—not now. I had too much to lose. My hand instinctively moved to

    Olivia POVJust a few steps from the restroom was Layla’s room. As I exited earlier, the sound of a muffled cry caught my attention. It was coming from her room. My chest tightened and I had hurried down the corridor to the room.When I opened the door, my heart sank. Johnny, Zoe’s youngest son who was Layla's best friend, was perched on the edge of the bed, his tiny frame shaking as he cried. Layla, pale and fragile, lay unconscious on the hospital bed. Dr. Zoe, his mother, knelt beside him, whispering soothing words.“It’s okay, Johnny,” Zoe murmured, stroking his hair. “Layla’s strong. She’ll pull through.”Johnny turned as he heard the door creak open. His teary eyes met mine, and before I could say a word, he ran toward me and wrapped his small arms around my waist.“Olivia,” he sobbed, his voice cracking. “Is Layla going to die?”The weight of his question hit me like a punch to the gut. I knelt down, meeting him at eye level, and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.“No, J

    Emily's POVI slammed the door to my room, my chest heaving with frustration. My nails dug into my palms as I tried to control the rage boiling inside me. Ryan. Ryan. His name echoed in my head, each repetition stoking the fire in my chest. How dare he reject me? After everything I’ve done, after all the years I’ve been by his side—or at least in his orbit—this is how he repays me?The walls of my room seemed to close in, the pink-tinged decor suddenly suffocating. I grabbed the first thing I saw—a framed photo of myself from last year’s gala—and hurled it across the room. The glass shattered on impact, shards scattering across the hardwood floor.“No,” I whispered harshly, pacing the room like a caged animal. My voice rose with each word. “No, no, no! This wasn’t supposed to happen!”I turned to the vanity, catching a glimpse of my flushed face in the mirror. My carefully applied makeup now felt like a mask, one I wanted to rip off. With a frustrated groan, I swiped the perfumes, bru

    Olivia POV The lingering warmth of the roast lamb on my tongue hadn’t yet faded when I noticed something odd. The staff member, who had been answering Ryan’s question about deliveries, kept stealing glances at me—no, not at me, at my stomach. My cheeks burned, and I fidgeted with the hem of my sweater, hoping he’d stop. But his gaze kept darting between Ryan and me, his expression a mixture of curiosity and excitement.Then, as if to confirm whatever assumptions he’d made, he straightened up and said, “Of course, subscribing to our online service means you’ll also receive recommendations for the latest maternal and child products every month.”Maternal and child products? What on earth?I froze, unsure whether to laugh, correct him, or disappear into the floor. Before I could decide, Ryan nodded coolly, as if the comment was perfectly normal, and added a few more lamb chops to the shopping cart.“Let’s try something else,” he said, steering the cart away without acknowledging my wide

    Olivia's POVSteam curled around me as I stepped out of the shower, my hair wet and clinging to my shoulders. The cool air of Alpha Ryan’s room hit my skin, sending a shiver down my spine. I grabbed the soft towel he’d left for me and wiped my face, then let it drape over my shoulders as I took in the space around me. His room was exquisite—modern yet warm, with a hint of masculinity in the dark wood furniture and deep blue accents. It smelled of him, a mix of cedar and fresh air, a scent that was both calming and unsettling.The large mirror above his dresser caught my reflection, and I tucked a damp strand of hair behind my ear, sighing softly. For a moment, I debated whether I should sleep in this room as Ryan had suggested. It felt too personal, too intimate, even though he had made it clear he’d be working in the study all night.“If you can’t sleep,” he had said earlier, his tone steady but kind, “there’s a TV in the living room. Call me if you need anything. And don’t forget to

    Olivia's POVI sat on the edge of the couch, staring at my phone, the glow of the screen burning my eyes. Emily’s face was impossible to ignore. The picture made it seem like Ryan was holding her close, as though they were more than just acquaintances. A shiver ran through me, not from the coolness of the air, but from the sudden chill that seized my heart. I could barely breathe as the words under the image clawed at me, calling Emily Ryan’s chosen surrogate. The very thought of it made my stomach churn.How could this happen? I barely had time to process the information before my mind was flooded with flashes of the hospital toilet, Emily’s voice echoing in my head. "You will never be anything. I’ll be the one to carry Alpha Ryan's child. I'll be Luna." Those words felt like a slap across my face, reminding me that the truth was clear—there was no place for me in Ryan’s life. Not really. Not in the way that mattered. My head spun, my hands clammy as I scrolled through the endless c

    Olivia POVAfter a moment of hesitation, my feet moved almost of their own accord. I had intended to head toward his room because I was sure Ryan was still wrapped up in whatever work he had to do, but somehow, my steps turned back. I couldn't help it. The pull was too strong. And before I even realized it, I found myself standing before the study door again.The weight in my chest grew heavier as I reached out to touch the door, the cool wood sending a shiver through my fingertips. I paused, taking a breath, uncertain of what I was hoping to find. Maybe an answer, maybe just a bit of comfort. But the moment I glanced inside, my breath caught in my throat.Ryan, as expected, was in the middle of something. His headphones were on, and his attention was completely absorbed in the meeting he seemed to have just started. But then, he looked up at me. His gaze softened when our eyes met, and I felt my pulse quicken. Without missing a beat, he took off his headphones, pausing whatever conve

    Ryan POVI stared at Olivia's empty hand as she walked away. A strange feeling settled in my chest, an odd mix of regret and something else—something I couldn’t quite place. She was leaving, and while I felt sorry for her, there was this tiny, nagging sense of disappointment that I couldn’t shake. I had learned so much about her from the school records, how happy she was at camp, how she thrived there. It was rare, I thought, that someone like Olivia could find something they truly loved, something they excelled at. But now, that spark seemed to be fading, and I couldn’t help but feel responsible for it.I wasn’t sure how long I sat there, watching the space she’d just occupied, but eventually, I heard the low hum of voices from the meeting still going on behind me. I turned my attention back to the screen in front of me, trying to ignore the thoughts of Olivia that lingered in the back of my mind. My friends—well, they couldn’t see me, thanks to the settings I’d adjusted, but they co

    Olivia POVI felt as if I had just woken from a dream—a strange, vivid dream where I wasn’t rescued. The images were jumbled, but the fear was unmistakable. I had been running, fighting with everything I had left, trying to escape. And then, the men from the casino had found me. I had struggled against them, feeling my body weaken, the exhaustion threatening to pull me under. Just as I was about to be dragged back into their control, someone grabbed my hand, and with a sudden force, they led me away.My breath had caught in my throat as I was pulled through the maze of streets, hiding in alleys, the sounds of footsteps echoing behind us. We had found safety, or at least it felt like it. In the dim light of the alley, the stranger pulled me close, his arms wrapping around me tightly, as if to protect me from the world, from everything that was after me. His body was solid, strong, and I could feel the heat radiating off of him. He kissed me deeply, his lips pressing against mine in a w

    Olivia's POV I looked away as the moderator continued, oblivious to the turmoil brewing within me. “The accused will now present her opening statement.”The room felt colder than it had any right to be. My palms were damp as I stood before the jury, their gazes drilling into me like lasers.I stepped forward, my palms sweaty as I tried to gather my thoughts. But the only thing I could focus on was Matt, his gaze boring into me like he was daring me to falter. I inhaled deeply, keeping my composure intact. Losing my temper here would only give my detractors more ammunition. Calm, Olivia. Calm.“I’d like to start by presenting some testimonies,” I began, my voice steady, though my heart raced like a runaway horse. I reached into my folder and pulled out the stack of signed documents Ryan and I collect—each one bearing witness to the legitimacy of my work.“These are written statements from individuals who were part of the initial testing phase of my project. They’ve documented their e

    Olivia's POVThe morning light poured through the bedroom window, casting a soft glow across the room. I stood before the mirror, adjusting the lapels of my blazer. The reflection staring back at me was composed, polished, but beneath the surface, a storm brewed. My fingers trembled as I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.This is it, Olivia, I thought, meeting my own gaze. Today is the day.My chest tightened as the enormity of the hearing weighed on me. I leaned closer to the mirror, whispering to myself, “You’ve got this. You’re strong, you’re capable, and you’re not alone. They won’t break you.”The door creaked open, and Ryan stepped inside, his presence filling the room with a calm I didn’t know I needed. His sharp eyes softened as they landed on me. “Nervous?”I smirked, though my voice betrayed me. “What gave it away?”He chuckled, stepping closer. “The way you’re gripping that blazer like it’s going to run away. Loosen up, Olivia.”I let out a shaky laugh and dropped my ha

    Olivia's POV The phone felt heavy in my hand as Ryan’s voice filtered through the line, calm and steady. “Olivia, take a deep breath,” he said softly. “Just come home. I’ll meet you there soon.”His reassurance was a lifeline, but it wasn’t enough to hold back the ache in my chest. My throat tightened as I fought to keep my tears at bay. “Okay,” I managed to whisper, my voice trembling. I nodded to myself before hanging up.When we got to the house, I slipped out of the car and walked inside, numb and silent. My steps were unsteady as I headed to the guest room, a space tucked just far enough from the rest of the house to feel secluded.The door clicked shut, and I let go. I sank onto the edge of the bed, burying my face in my hands as sobs wracked through me. Every bit of frustration, confusion, and helplessness poured out, raw and unfiltered.Minutes blurred together until I heard the faint sound of a car pulling up outside. I hastily wiped at my face, but the tears wouldn’t stop.

    Olivia’s POVAfter we entered, the door swung close behind us, but no one looked up. Their eyes remained locked on the man in the grainy video on the wall. Beta Marcos stood tall in the recording, his crisp suit gleaming under the studio lights. His voice carried a weight that made people nod in agreement, almost as though they’d been rehearsed for this very moment.Zara, Benjamin, and I ignored their glances, though, truthfully, most didn’t even bother looking at me. I was invisible to them—just another face passing by. Their murmurs filled the air like background noise.“…he’s right. Omegas don’t need to make noise about things they don’t understand,” one older man whispered to his companion.Another voice chimed in, a younger woman. “If we just do our part, we won’t have problems. That’s all he’s saying.”“Yeah,” another grunted. “Better than stirring trouble and making enemies.”Their words clung to me like dust. I glanced at Benjamin, who had his hand on my elbow, guiding me to a

    Olivia’s POV The Trench bar buzzed faintly with chatter, a stark contrast to the uneasy silence between me and my three childhood friends before me—Tina, Lola, and Lydia. Their faces, once familiar and comforting, now held expressions that felt foreign: hesitation, avoidance, and something close to guilt.My voice wavered despite my efforts to stay composed. “I’m not asking for much—just your support at the hearing. You all know me. You know I wouldn’t do what they’re accusing me of.”Tina glanced at Lydia, who then exchanged a look with Lola. The air felt heavy, suffocating even, as if the weight of their unspoken thoughts pressed down on me. Finally, Tina spoke, her tone cautious but firm. “Olivia, it’s not that we don’t believe you… but this whole thing feels complicated. We don’t want to get involved.”Complicated? My chest tightened. I had thought they’d understand, that they’d stand by me as they always had. “Complicated how?” I asked, my voice trembling but laced with disbeli

    Olivia POV The ride to the east side of the pack brought back a flood of memories. The smell of pine and damp earth was heavy in the air, I gazed out the window as the car bumped along the uneven roads, the familiar sights flashing past like fragments of my past. The sprawling woods surrounding the area always made me feel like I was stepping into a hidden world. The Trench Bar wasn’t far now, just a couple of turns away, when my phone buzzed in my hand. Ryan’s name lit up the screen.“How are you doing?” he asked the moment I answered, his overprotective tone managed to sound both endearing and infuriating all at once.“Ryan,” I said for what felt like the hundredth time, rolling my eyes even though he couldn’t see me., “I left home fifteen minutes ago. Nothing has happened. I’m fine.”“Are you looking both ways before crossing the street?” he asked, completely ignoring my reassurance.I blinked in disbelief, then let out a small laugh. “Ryan, your Gamma is driving me. Unless he de

    Olivia POVMoments later, we were sitting in the living room, a heavy silence hanging in the air. My eyes darted between Stephanie and Ryan. Stephanie sat forward on the edge of her seat, her hands folded, while Ryan leaned back slightly, one hand resting on his thigh. His expression was guarded, but I could see the tension etched in the tight set of his jaw.Stephanie broke the silence first. “Olivia,” she began softly, “I heard about the circulating rumors. People are claiming your project—the one that won you the scholarship—was fake.”My stomach twisted, and I fought the urge to fidget. So that was it. That’s why she had pushed me to make the cure today.My gaze shifted to Ryan. For a moment, I studied him. He must have known. He must have learned about the rumors earlier this morning. That would explain why he’d been so distant, why his usual comforting presence had felt muted. He didn’t want me to know, I realized.“Ryan,” I said, my voice quiet but sharp. “You knew about this,

    Olivia POV The silence in the house was almost deafening. Although Ryan and Stephanie hadn’t said anything before retreating to the study, I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. My mind raced with possibilities, and instead of waiting for an explanation, I decided to take matters into my own hands.I slipped quietly back to my room, closing the door behind me with a soft click. My hands moved instinctively to the small drawer where I had stashed my broken phone. It was cracked, slow, and barely functioning, but right now, it was my only option.“Come on,” I muttered under my breath, pressing the power button repeatedly. Nothing. The screen remained dark.Frustration bubbled inside me, and I yanked the charger from the nightstand, plugging it into the phone. The screen flickered to life, dim and unsteady, but it was enough.I started surfing the internet, my fingers trembling slightly as I typed. The loading circle on the browser seemed to taunt me as second

    Olivia POVThe room was again quiet after Stephanie's words. The earthy aroma of freshly ground roots and flowers filled the air as I carefully ground basil leaves with a mortar and pestle, the rhythmic motion steadying my nerves. On the wooden countertop in front of me sat a vial of shimmering liquid—the cure I had worked so hard to create.It felt almost alive, like it held the weight of everything I’d been working toward. My hands trembled slightly as I picked it up, careful not to spill a single drop.The mice in their cages chittered softly, their tiny noses twitching as if sensing the change in the air. I adjusted my gloves and took a deep breath. This was it—the moment to see if my work would pay off.I poured the potion into a sterilized dropper, watching as the liquid slid down the narrow tube. The precision of my movements felt like a lifeline. There was no room for error. I opened the cage of the first mouse, a small white one with bright, curious eyes. It looked up at me,
