Olivia POV

The hearing resumed with an air of tension so thick I could almost feel it pressing against my skin. The room was quiet, save for the soft shuffling of papers and the occasional cough. My friends sat a row behind me, their presence a silent source of strength, though I could feel the weight of everyone’s eyes on me.

When Lydia was called upon, she walked to the front confidently. “I have known Olivia for years, and I can tell you she’s always been passionate about her work. She didn’t just stumble upon this formula—it’s her life’s work.”

Tina stood next, surprising everyone by pulling a small, worn diary out of her bag. “This is Olivia’s childhood journal. Inside is the earliest version of the formula she discovered.” She flipped it open, showing pages filled with scribbled notes.

Matt’s lips twitched into a smirk as he rose to speak, his voice laced with faux disbelief. “Interesting evidence, but it doesn’t quite add up.” He turned toward the panel of decision-makers, his

    Olivia POVThe room was unnervingly quiet. I stared at the marketing director, watching his unease grow as he fumbled for a response. His silence was telling, and the tension in the air was thick enough to choke on. My heart raced, but outwardly, I maintained my composure, casting a sidelong glance at Matt. His smug expression faltered, and for the first time, I saw a flicker of doubt cross his face. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat before turning to Beta Marcos, his last hope for salvaging his argument.“Beta Marcos,” Matt began, his voice strained, “you were there during the trial tests. You know the protocol we followed. Tell them.”Beta Marcos rose slowly, his presence commanding attention. I could feel my pulse in my ears, hoping that even a man like him would choose truth over deceit, if only to preserve a shred of dignity. He cleared his throat and addressed the room.“Yes,” he said, his tone measured. “I am aware of the trial tests conducted back then. The marketing direc

    Olivia’s POVThe hearing had finally ended, and as the tension in the room dissipated, I turned to my friends, who had stood by me through every grueling second of it. Zara gave me a small, encouraging smile, her hand resting lightly on my arm. Benjamin looked relieved, his usual composed demeanor softening as he leaned against the wall.“Thank you,” I said, my voice thick with emotion. “I don’t know how I could’ve faced all this without you two.”“Don’t even mention it,” Benjamin said, his expression firm. “You did the hard part, Olivia. You stood your ground.”“And you crushed it,” Lydia added, her voice bright with pride. “Seriously, I think I’ve got a girl crush on you now.”I laughed, the sound surprising me after such a stressful day. “You’re ridiculous, Lydia.”“You love me for it,” she said with a wink.“But she loves me more," Zara chipped, feigning jealousness and we all laughed.We walked out of the hearing hall together, their presence a reassuring weight on either side of

    Olivia’s POVThe tension in the room hung thick, with Zara staring at me as if Layla’s words had lit a fire under her curiosity. Layla sat smugly, swinging her feet over the edge of the hospital bed, looking far too pleased with herself for a girl her age."Layla," Zara said, breaking the silence with her incredulous tone, "how in the world do you know Ryan is the father?"Layla grinned, her eyes gleaming with the confidence of someone who’d just unraveled the juiciest secret in the world. "I saw him the other day," she said matter-of-factly. "He carried Olivia into the hospital like she was some kind of fragile treasure. He didn’t even look at anyone else, just her."I felt my face burn, the blush spreading from my neck to my ears. "Layla," I started, my voice a mix of embarrassment and scolding, "you don’t just assume things from what you see.""But am I wrong?" she challenged, raising an eyebrow that was far too sassy for her age.I sighed, throwing my hands up in defeat. "No, you’

    Ryan’s POVIt had been one of those days that stretched far too long, even though I’d left the office early. The weight of decisions, responsibilities, and the perpetual juggling act of leadership pressed against my shoulders. My car door clicked shut with a heavy finality as I stepped out into the driveway, the crisp evening air doing little to lighten my mood.I walked toward the house, the familiar sound of gravel crunching under my boots grounding me momentarily. Just as I reached for the door handle, a flicker of movement caught my eye through the transparent garden door. My steps faltered, my eyes narrowing instinctively.There, under the sprawling oak tree, was Olivia.She was asleep, her body curled up on the soft grass, a book lying forgotten beside her. The sunlight filtered through the leaves above, casting delicate patterns on her face. Her ash-blonde hair glimmered with streaks of gold, scattered haphazardly across her flushed cheeks. Her lashes, long and dark, rested sof

    Olivia’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, the world felt soft and golden, like waking up in the middle of a dream. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees above me, and then I saw him—Ryan crouched beside me, his sharp, commanding features softened by a gentle smile.“Comfortable?” he asked, his voice low and warm.My heart stumbled. I blinked rapidly, sitting up straight as my book slid from my lap to the grass. “I—I must’ve dozed off,” I stammered, brushing my hair away from my face, my cheeks heating.“You think?” He arched a brow, his tone teasing. “What were you doing? Studying until you passed out?”“Not exactly,” I murmured, unable to meet his eyes. The way he was looking at me—relaxed yet intense—made my stomach flip. “I didn’t mean to fall asleep.”Ryan leaned back slightly, resting one arm on his knee. “It’s not a bad thing, you know. Proper rest helps the brain absorb information better. Maybe this is your new, very smart study technique.”I bit my lip, hiding a smile. “Or mayb

    Olivia POVThe lingerie felt impossibly delicate in my hands, its silk threads slipping between my fingers like water. Holding it up at arm’s length, I caught my reflection in the mirror—a wide-eyed woman who barely recognized the boldness of the garment she held.Under the soft glow of the fluorescent, the lingerie shimmered, its intricacies almost daring me to wear it. I bit my lip, hesitating. “What am I even doing?” The words barely escaped my lips, a whisper against the deafening pulse in my ears.The question barely formed before Celia’s image surfaced in my mind—poised, effortless, the kind of woman who knew exactly how to wield something like this. The kind of woman Ryan laughed with, noticed.Not that I wanted to be her. I just… wanted to be seen by Ryan in another way.With a deep breath, I stood, the cold floor grounding me. I stared at my reflection. My damp hair clung to my flushed cheeks, the nervous energy in my eyes betraying me. “You can do this,” I whispered, thoug

    Olivia POVMy breath hitched as he leaned in, his movements deliberate, unhurried. His fingertips barely brushed against my skin, yet a tremor ran through me, anticipation coiling tightly in my chest. The warmth of his touch contrasted with the chill skimming my spine.“Ryan, what are you doing?” My voice wavered, barely above a whisper, the words slipping out before I could think better of them.He stilled, his gaze locking onto mine, unwavering, unreadable. A quiet hum escaped his lips, somewhere between reassurance and command.Then he asked, “Do you question Stephanie much when she teaches you, Olivia?”I blinked, thrown off by his words, by the way he said my name—slowly, like he was savoring it, like it belonged to him. My heart pounded hard against my ribs, my focus faltering as my breath came in shallow, uneven waves.“No... I don’t,” I stammered, my pulse quickening beneath the weight of his stare.“Good.” His voice was a low murmur, smooth as silk, yet firm. “Then don’t ques

    Emily's POVThe night seemed to bite into my skin, cold and unrelenting. My fingers trembled as I threw down all the makeup on the vanity with a loud clatter. Lipsticks rolled off the edge, brushes scattered across the floor, but I didn’t care. I stared at my reflection, the fury in my eyes matching the storm in my chest.“Damn it!” I hissed, slamming my fists onto the table. “How could he? How could Matt betray me like that?”I could still see his smug face in court, publicly exposing my name—my name—as if he hadn’t been the one I’d helped! He dared to tell everyone I orchestrated the plan, leaving me utterly exposed. I clenched my jaw, my hands balling into fists.“And Olivia,” I spat her name like poison. My heart pounded as I paced the room, cursing under my breath. She’d slipped out of my well-crafted plan. How? How had I underestimated her?I stopped in my tracks, staring blankly at the wall. My mind spun with the thought of the trial looming ahead. I had pretended to faint earl

    Ryan’s POVThe whiskey burned its way down my throat, the heat doing little to numb the tension curling in my gut. I slammed the shot glass onto the table, the sound sharp against the low hum of bar chatter. Across from me, Luke and Andrew stared, their expressions ranging from amused to intrigued.Andrew leaned forward, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “Well, damn. You’re really throwing them back tonight.”Luke arched a brow. “Did something happen? It’s not every day our dear Alpha comes to drink his problems away.”I exhaled through my nose, rolling the empty glass between my fingers. The bar’s dim lighting cast flickering shadows, but it did nothing to erase the image burned into my mind—the way Olivia had looked in the tower earlier. Half-dressed, eyes wide with innocence. It had almost messed with my control. The goddess knew I was just a tiny bit close to losing it and grabbing her to kiss the hell out of her. I just had to leave the room at the moment to ease off a bit.

    Olivia’s POVThe cool air kissed my skin, sending shivers down my spine as I stood there, half-naked, my body exposed under the dim bedroom light. My breath hitched as Ryan’s gaze darkened, his eyes scorching a slow path over my body—from my bare feet, up my trembling thighs, lingering at my curves before stopping at my shoulders.He swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing.A slow burn spread in my chest, warmth coiling deep inside my belly. My breath turned shallow. I knew that look.And then my gaze dropped—just for a second.My lips parted in shock.There, straining against his pants, was a sight I had no business staring at. A pulse of heat rushed between my thighs, and my heart pounded against my ribcage.Ryan stiffened. His jaw clenched like he was holding back something—something perilous. But instead of acting on it, he swiftly turned around and walked to the door.His voice, when it came, was shaky but firm. “Put on some clothes before you catch a cold.”The door shut behind

    Olivia’s POVThe afternoon sun spilled through the wide windows of The Silver Oak, a clean, cozy bar that Zara had suggested. We sat around a polished oak table, its surface gleaming under the warm light. Zara was animated, chatting with Lydia, Tina, and Lola. It was great but surprising how she’d recently gotten acquainted with them since the hearing. Benjamin leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed, looking mildly amused at their excitement.While they discussed trivial matters, I discreetly reached into my bag and pulled out the album I had decided to gift Zara. It was a limited edition featuring her favorite band, X Band. The glossy cover displayed their group photo, each member looking effortlessly cool and rebellious. My heart warmed with anticipation at Zara’s reaction.“Zara,” I said, stretching the album toward her. “I’m gifting this to you.”The moment the girls saw the album, they gasped in unison, their eyes widening.“Is that—?” Lydia’s voice hit a higher pitch.“The X

    Olivia POVThe next morning, Ivy and I began packing my things. The room was a battlefield of half-opened boxes, ribbons, and paper. There were so many presents that even looking at them made my head spin. Some were still sealed, their contents a mystery, while others were fragile—vases, crystals, or delicate jewelry that demanded careful handling.“This is insane,” I muttered, shaking my head as I folded a delicate shawl into a box.Ivy, with a clipboard in hand, glanced at me. “I’m going to get the full list of gifts from the butler. It’ll make it easier to check for missing items and classify them. Some of these things need to be bubble-wrapped.”“Good idea.” I nodded, still trying to figure out how to pack the jewelry case without damaging it.When Ivy left, I stood amidst the chaos and let my mind drift. My thoughts wandered back to yesterday’s discussion with Ryan’s mother. Moon Lake Pack had been mentioned again, and something about it felt off. I couldn’t shake the feeling tha

    Alex POVI did well to return home first before heading to the camp that evening. The plan was simple: grab my books and slip out quietly. As I pushed open the door, I immediately regretted not being more careful. My father’s booming voice echoed through the house.“Wow, our son is back, Maria!” He hollered from the living room. “Our dear spy.”I stiffened. I hated when he called me that, but arguing about it would only make it worse. My mother sat beside him, a stern expression already plastered on her face.“Oh, what took you all day?” my father pressed. “Did that family trap you there because they were receiving Olivia?”“No. I left after our meal,” I said, hoping to keep the conversation short.“Good. So, fill us in,” he demanded impatiently. “What happened there? How’s Olivia?”“She’s good.”“Good?” His eyebrows shot up. “That’s all you’ve got? Good?”Before I could respond, my mother interjected. “David, let him breathe.” She turned to me. “Did you see Diana? I heard she tested

    Olivia’s POVI frowned, my fingers clenching slightly against my dress as I looked between Sarah and standing before me.Diana.I didn’t know her, had never even heard of her name before today. Yet, Ryan's mother's look sold off that Diana seemed like one to cause problem.Before I could ask any questions, Sarah turned to Ivy. “Go report back to Grandfather Moore.”Ivy gave a respectful nod and left the environment, her presence replaced by a weighted silence.“Who's Diana?" I asked her.She sighed. “She's Grandfather Moore’s granddaughter.“What? She's your….”"No. She's not my daughter. She's Kelvin’s elder stepbrother’s daughter.”"Huh?” I blinked.Sarah exhaled slowly before turning back to me. “Olivia, I think it’s time you learned more about the family.”My brows knitted. “More?”She nodded. “Grandfather Moore had some illegitimate children before he officially married Kelvin's mother. That, unfortunately, led to too many people trying to compete for the Alpha position.”I stiff

    Olivia’s POVI hadn’t expected to run into Eva at the flower shop that day, and I certainly hadn’t expected to run into her here again. The last thing I wanted was another pointless argument, so I decided to ignore her and walk past as if she wasn’t there.But, of course, Eva wouldn’t let me go so easily.“Well, well, look who we have here,” she sneered, stepping in front of me to block my path. “The lowly omega who used a Gamma to cheat her way out of trouble.”I frowned, glancing around. Her guards now stood at a distance, they seemed uninterested in intervening. Maybe for now. I sighed and met Eva’s glare. “I didn’t cheat, Eva. And I certainly didn’t ‘escape’ anything. I didn’t do anything wrong.”Eva scoffed and took a step closer, her eyes flashing with barely contained fury. “Oh, really? Then why don’t you apologize for what happened that day?”I stiffened. “I have nothing to apologize for. I didn’t push you. I was trying to help you.”Eva’s lips curled in a twisted smirk, and b

    Maid’s POVI stepped forward, firmly blocking the path as Diana halted in front of me. Her golden hair gleamed under the disappearing sun, and despite the gentle smile on her face, there was an underlying sharpness in her gaze.“I need to see my grandfather, Acacia,” she said, folding her arms. “Move away." I remained unmoved. “I’m sorry, Miss Diana, but you can’t go in right now.”Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Why? I walked despite my legs hurting to get here, and now you’re stopping me?”I met her gaze steadily, keeping my voice calm. “I have no personal reason to stop you, Miss. But your grandfather is receiving a special guest today—Alpha Ryan’s girlfriend.”Her lips parted slightly in surprise, then pressed into a thin line. “I heard Ryan was bringing her over today,” she muttered, more to herself than to me. “I think her name is… uhh, Olivia.”“That’s right, Miss Diana,” I confirmed, shifting my weight slightly.Her face twitched, and for a moment, she seemed genuinely concerned

    Olivia's POVGrandfather Moore’s gaze was warm as he gestured toward the young woman standing beside him. "Olivia, this is Ivy. She’s one of the strongest female Gammas in our pack."Ivy gave a small nod, her short hair swaying slightly with the movement. She had sharp eyes, the kind that seemed to see everything without trying too hard. Yet, there was something calm about her—a quiet strength that didn’t demand attention but couldn’t be ignored either."It’s nice to meet you," I said with a smile. "You look really capable."Ivy smirked, crossing her arms. "I try."Grandfather Moore continued, "Given Celia’s… pregnancy experience, we thought it’d be easier for you to have a woman around rather than a man. Ivy’s one of our best, and she’ll be by your side to help when needed."I nodded. Now, I didn’t mind. In fact, I liked being around strong women like Ivy and Zara. There was something admirable about them—the way they carried themselves, the way they never seemed shaken.Ivy stepped
