Chapter 136: Alone

Olivia's POV

My eyes widened, and I swallowed hard. My eyes met Alpha Lennox's, and he held my gaze. We waited to see who would refuse the dare and drink, but neither of us moved. Neither of us was going to back down.

"You can refuse and drink," Callum reminded, though his tone suggested he doubted either of us would.

Lennox and I didn't move. In fact, we were challenging each other with our eyes, daring each other to back out and drink. But that person wouldn't be me.

The room felt like it was holding its breath, the weight of the dare pressing down on everyone. Lennox's eyes never left mine, and I could feel the heat rising between us like a wildfire.

I leaned back in my chair, crossing one leg over the other, trying to appear unbothered even though my pulse hammered wildly. His gaze darkened, his jaw clenching as if he was daring me to make the first move.

"I don't mind an audience," I said, my voice smooth but teasing.

A few chuckles rippled around the table, but Lennox didn't laugh. His eyes burned into me with something more primal—something possessive and hungry.

Callum smirked. "I like this one," he muttered, swirling the drink in his hand.

I stood up from my chair slowly, letting the air hum with anticipation. Lennox's eyes followed my every movement, his tongue brushing across his lower lip.

The moment stretched, and I knew he was waiting—waiting to see if I'd call the dare or back down. But I wouldn't. I'd gone too far to stop now.
