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.

That’s when it clicked.

This wasn’t some coincidence. They were here together. Chole, Ethan, and their usual circle – people I once thought of as allies. This was their private little gathering. From the way they talked earlier, it clearly wasn’t their first. They didn’t even care to hide their relationship. Maybe they never had.

Ethan walked toward me.

Behind him, the group scrambled back to life. One of them stepped forward quickly. “Olivia, we were just messing around-none of it was serious. We were just talking nonsense.”

Another added, “Really sorry. We didn’t mean anything by it.”

I didn’t respond.

Ethan reached for my wrist.

I didn’t fight.

Instead, I grabbed my drink and threw it in his face, a clear challenge in the presence of his pack.

I smiled faintly, “Please, Alpha, continue enjoying yourself with your beloved. I won’t interrupt again.”

Then I lowered my head, tried to pull my hand back from his.

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
