Chapter 3

Olivia’s POV

I smelled it. I turned around, and there he was.

Alpha Ethan.

I glanced at him, then looked past him to the low velvet sofa behind. Chole Windsor sat there, legs crossed, glass in

hand.

Her smile was gone. The way she stared at me her eyes flashing with the territorial aggression of a she-wolf ready to defend her claim – made it clear she would’ve ripped my throat out if she could get away with it.

His grip only tightened.

His face had gone dark. Without another word, he bent down, grabbed me, and threw me over his shoulder like a
