Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 44

Jimson stammered, “I was–checking for injuries. You were

bleeding, and I thought-”

“You weren’t trying to help,” I cut in. “You were excited”

The words hung in the air like poison. Jimson’s lips clamped

shut. He looked around, as if begging someone–anyone–to

come to his defense, but no one moved. Not even Jess.

Neil Green’s voice came through Gai’s phone, crisp and

commanding. “I think the truth is clear now!”

The crowd instinctively straightened. Even Alexander’s jaw

tensed slightly as he turned toward the sound.

“Alexander,” Neil said, “you know what to do. Handle it

properly. Call the authorities if you must. But show no mercy to

anyone who betrays our pack like this.”

Jimson collapsed to the floor like a broken puppet.


“Also,” Neil continued, his voice softer, “Miss Olivia. You’ve

shown incredible bravery and wit in an impossible situation. Consider this your formal welcome to the Green Group.”

didn’t have a recorder. It was all a bluff. But he played along, not

exposing me, not questioning me. Just like that, he pulled me

“Thank you, Alpha,” I whispered toward the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the tension that had been holding

my body together gave way. I couldn’t stay upright any longer. My knees buckled, and before I hit the floor, I fell into someone’s

arms–warm, strong, safe. Sandalwood. Familiar.
