Chapter 189: She Wolf Meeting

Olivia’s POV

With my appetite already gone, I rose from the table in silence and headed toward the pack hall.

There was a she-wolf meeting happening today. And no matter how badly I didn’t want to go, I had to. It was expected of me... as the supposed Luna.

Outside the dining room, I met Nora and Lolita waiting for me.

"The women are already gathered in the hall," Nora said softly. "They’re waiting for you."

I nodded without a word and started walking. Both of them followed closely behind.

As we walked, we passed by the sitting area, where workers were busy decorating for Alpha Damien’s birthday celebration tonight. Ribbons, flowers, silver and navy drapes—they were working quickly to make everything look perfect.

But my mind wasn’t on any of it.

My mind kept replaying the triplets’ words at the table.

"Because marking Anita... means losing Olivia."

"We won’t let that happen."

"You’ll have your grandchildren, but only with the woman we love."

Their words had hit something deep inside me. I didn’t want them to. I didn’t want to care.

But I did.

"Don’t let their words get to you, Olivia... remember what they did to you," I whispered to myself, forcing those old, painful memories to the front of my mind—just enough to push away any soft feelings starting to grow inside me.

It was the only way to keep my walls up.

We finally reached the pack hall.

The moment I stepped inside, the soft hum of chatter stopped. Dozens of she-wolves stood up from their seats in quiet respect. All eyes were on me.

I gave them a small nod and walked to the front of the room, where a throne-like seat was placed—one meant for the Luna.

I sat down slowly, keeping my posture straight, my face calm. But inside, I felt anything but calm.
