“You don’t get to barge in here like this-” I started.
But Ethan was already grabbing Alexander’s collar. “Stay away from my wife!”
Alexander didn’t flinch. He simply pried Ethan’s hand off and shoved him back.
“Control yourself!”
“She’s my wife-mine-“
“No, Ethan.” I said coldly. “Not anymore”
Ethan’s growl was low and wild, his fangs briefly visible.
Alexander turned his gaze to me then, and his words cut through the tension like a blade.
“Why do you need to perform these tricks in front of me… if you’re going to allow him into your home anyway?”
Olivia’s POV
The sarcasm in Alexander’s tone lingered in the air like an insult
I hadn’t earned. I stared at him, my pride prickling. But what confused me even more was the fact the Ethan has made his way into my building.
But how?
I never gave him the password to this building. Neither did I discuss anything about my apartment to him.
Disheveled, reeking of alcohol, Ethan couldn’t keep up his upright stature. His bloodshot eyes locked on me. “So this is it?” he slurred, pointing at Alexander like a jealous schoolboy. “How long has it been going on, huh? You and him.”
“Shut up, Ethan” I said, agitated. “How much more are you going to embarrass me?”
He blinked at me, disoriented for a moment, then his anger flared back. “Me?” he snapped, taking a shaky step forward. “It’s you, who’s making it embarrassing for me. Playing house with him behind my back!”
My eyes narrowed. “That’s rich coming from a man who crawled into bed with another woman before the ink on our vows was even dry.””
Ethan’s lips parted to retort, but then something in his expression cracked. He faltered, dropped to his knees, and grabbed my wrist. “Oliva, please don’t leave me.”
I jerked my arm back, but his grip tightened. His voice trembled.
“I was wrong, okay? I didn’t mean for any of it to happen. You know I still love you tell me you feel something. Anything”
His desperation made me nauseous. His tears didn’t move me; they annoyed me.
“Get up,” I hissed. “You’re drunk and humiliating yourself.”
“I’m not letting you go again.” He held on tighter, now resting his forehead against my stomach. “Please, baby… just give me another chance.”
Alexander, who had been silent until now, finally moved.
“Ethan,” he said coolly, pulling out his phone, “if you don’t stand up this second, I’ll have building security drag you back to the floor you came from.”
Ethan’s head whipped up. “Don’t you dare!” he snarled, then looked at me with betrayal, “You’re lettinghimdecide what happens to me now?”
“I didn’tletanyone do anything,” I said icily. “You showed up, uninvited. And just so we’re clear-you’re not my responsibility anymore.”
Right on cue, the property manager and two guards arrived.
“Apologies, Alpha Alexander,” the manager said. “We’re investigating why Mr. Hawthorne’s access card worked for your floor. Now we have found that he lives in the same building.”
My head snapped toward the manager. “Wait. Ethan lives here?”
The manager nodded politely. “He purchased an apartment on the twentieth floor just two days ago.”
The blood drained from my face. “Two days ago? I wasn’t told anyone else bought into this building.”
Ethan, still on his knees, looked up at me with a faint smile. “I just wanted to be closer to you.”
I stared at him in disbelief. “You bought a place under my nose and stalked me up here pretending it was an accident?”
Alexander turned to the manager. “Whether it’s an accident or not, this man is creating a disturbance. Please escort him to his floor.”
The guards moved forward, but Ethan lunged again-this time at me, grabbing the hem of my sweater. “I’m not going anywhere without my wife!”
Before I could speak, Alexander yanked him back, forcefully but with precision. “She said leave.”
Ethan staggered, then snarled, his canines slightly elongating- his wolf reacting. “You stay out of this, Alpha. This is between my mate and me!”
“Mate?” I snapped. “That title was null the moment you crawled into another woman’s arms.”
He looked at me, face streaked with tears, a drunken mess of a man who used to be powerful. “I’m still your husband… your luna…”
‘Don’t” I said coldly, cutting him off as I stepped forward, the pain in my knee momentarily forgotten. I looked straight into his eyes as everyone watched the guards, the manager.
Alexander. “You’re nothing to me now, Ethan Hawthorne.
Nothing but a liar, a cheater, and a fool who couldn’t hold on to what mattered”
Gasps rippled through the hallway.
“I want him removed,” I added, facing the manager. “Right now”
After Ethan was finally dragged into the elevator-howling. clawing, practically fuming through his teeth-I stood there. breathless. My knees trembled, not from pain, but from the sheer chaos that had just unfolded in my own home.
The security guards looked shaken. One of them rubbed his arm where Ethan had probably scratched him with those half- shifted claws. The other kept muttering something about needing backup next time.
Alexander, meanwhile, was composed as ever. Not a single crease out of place in his shirt. He simply turned to the building manager and gave a curt nod. “Make sure his access to this floor is revoked. Immediately.”
“Yes, Alpha,” the manager stammered and rushed off like a rabbit being chased.
I finally exhaled, rubbing my temples. “He’s not going to stop, is he?”
Alexander looked at me for a moment, then asked quietly,
“Have you really made up your mind about the divorce?”
I met his gaze. “Yes. I don’t care what tantrums he throws or how many times he cries. I’ve made up my mind.”
There was a silence between us.
Then he said, “You shouldn’t be staying here alone. Not while he’s lurking few floors above like a feral dog. You should move to the penthouse for now. It’s safer, and Mike can take care of your meals while you heal.”
My first instinct was to say no. Pride, maybe. Or just the lingering habit of pushing everyone away. But then I looked at my bandaged leg, still throbbing from last night’s knock, and remembered the way Ethan had lunged at Alexander without warning.
