Harrison was overjoyed and drank a few glasses of moonberry wine.
With the alcohol taking effect, Harrison gradually let loose. He went from being reserved and fawning to becoming increasingly uninhibited.
With a flushed face, he talked about his success story. He rambled on and on about his pack’s business achievements.
Connor turned a deaf ear to Harrison’s boasting. His mind was still preoccupied with the she-wolf across from him.
He couldn’t help but glance in her direction. He turned the glass turntable to stop her favorite dishes in front of her.
Harrison and Thomas Wilson were too busy drinking and chatting to notice Connor’s subtle movements. But Derek saw everything clearly.
Derek shook his head helplessly. He could tell that his Alpha friend was a hopeless romantic.
The always calm and composed Connor had countless potential mates from childhood. This included those like Jessica Sullivan who were persistent and clingy.
But the aloof Alpha had never been moved by any of them. Derek used to think that Connor was indifferent to romantic bonds and not interested in claiming a mate.
It wasn’t until he witnessed Connor’s behavior around Olivia that he knew it wasn’t that he wasn’t interested in mating. He had someone specific in his heart.
For her, he had rejected everyone. After dinner, Harrison was drunk.
The restaurant manager called a driver in advance. Harrison left first.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Thomas bid farewell to Connor and Derek. “Alpha Connor, Mr. Chen, we’ll be leaving first then.”
Connor remained silent, not saying anything. Knowing that it was inconvenient for him to speak, Derek spoke for him.
“Are you taking a taxi back?” Derek asked.
Thomas replied, “Yes, Olivia and I are here on a business trip, staying at a hotel.”
Connor’s ice-blue eyes flashed with something dangerous upon hearing this. Derek knew that his Alpha friend was concerned about letting Olivia return to the hotel with a middle-aged man who had been drinking/
So he immediately said, “I’ll take Olivia back. I didn’t drink just now, so I can drive.”
Thomas looked at the ride-sharing app on his phone, thinking, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?” He had already ordered a car, so he couldn’t cancel it and shamelessly ask for a ride in Derek’s car.
Thus, he said, “Then we’ll have to trouble Mr. Chen.”
Olivia refused, “There’s no need to trouble you, I can just take a taxi myself.” She said as she opened her phone to call for a car.
Derek asked half-jokingly, half-seriously, “Miss Winters doesn’t trust me?”
Olivia raised her amber eyes and quickly glanced at Connor. Then she met Derek’s gaze, saying politely and courteously, “Mr. Chen, you know that’s not what I meant.”
Derek said with a smile, “Then Miss Winters should take my car back. It’s on my way anyway.”
Thomas, who was listening to their conversation, twitched his lips. “On your way? He didn’t even say which hotel we’re staying at, so how would he know if it’s on his way?”
“Does this Mr. Chen have intentions toward Olivia? Is he just trying to take this opportunity to get closer to her?”
Thomas’s eyes darted back and forth between Olivia and Derek with a hint of gossip.
Olivia looked at Connor, about to refuse. When Connor suddenly said, his voice cold and distant, “Then you should take her back first. I have to go to Layla’s place, she’s expecting me.”
A bucket of ice water was poured over her head. Olivia felt cold all over, her wolf whimpering with hurt. Derek looked at Connor meaningfully, “Then you should go quickly.”
Connor hummed in acknowledgment, not looking at Olivia again. He turned to walk towards the black luxury
SUV.
Olivia watched his back, feeling both sour and swollen in her heart. Indeed, she still couldn’t bring herself to remain indifferent.
Connor, what do you mean by this? She had been working hard to forget him these days, trying not to think about him.
But he appeared in front of her again and again. He did things that were easy for her to misunderstand. First, he insisted on her staying for the meal. Then he ordered her favorite dishes, and his gaze always lingered on her.
What did he take her for? Was he playing with her emotions like a toy?
“Miss Winters, I’ll drive you-“
“I said, I don’t need it!” Before Derek could finish speaking, Olivia interrupted him sharply.
Her tone carried a hint of her wolf’s agitation. As if she had been provoked beyond her limit.
Derek was stunned, awkwardly touching his nose. “Alright then, you can just take a taxi back yourself.”
Good heavens, the young she-wolf looked gentle and quiet. But she had quite a temper when her wolf was riled up.
Connor, you’ve made your intended mate angry, Derek thought. He wondered how the Alpha would appease her later.
(Olivia’s POV)
After securing the major contract with Thornwick Enterprises, Thomas Wilson had celebrated with several glasses of moonberry wine at lunch. The alcohol hit him harder than expected, and he fell asleep the moment we returned to the hotel.
With the afternoon suddenly free, I found myself in Southmere Territory. This coastal region was known for its werewolf-friendly tourism, and our hotel offered stunning ocean views.
Moonlit Shore was just a short distance away. As the afternoon temperatures soared, I spent the day relaxing in my room before changing into a cool outfit.
I slipped into a tank top and shorts, applied sunscreen carefully, and headed to the beach as sunset approached. The heat was becoming unbearable, and the ocean breeze called to me.
The beach was exclusive to pack members and hotel guests, so it wasn’t crowded. I found a comfortable recliner under a large parasol and settled in.
Removing my sunglasses, I gazed at the vast ocean and let my mind wander. A fiery sun hung where the sky met the sea, painting the clouds in shades of orange with gilded edges.
The seawater shimmered like spilled liquid amber topped with crushed moonstone. Everything sparkled and looked surreal in the dying light.
The sea breeze carried hints of salt and distant pine from the territory’s forests. It swept over me, dispelling the day’s oppressive heat completely.
I leaned back, leisurely enjoying the sunset. A rare sense of peace washed over me like the gentle waves.
It had been a while since I felt this relaxed. These past days had been a whirlwind of legal work and pack politics.
My tranquility was soon interrupted. “Beautiful lady, are you alone?”
A crude werewolf approached with a leering grin.
I didn’t even glance his way. “Mated with two pups, and my Alpha is in the hotel with them.”
Unfazed, Lenny Walsh pressed on, stepping closer. His eyes roamed over my body with disgusting hunger.
“Oh, a young she-wolf, eh? Having two pups, but still in such good shape.”
I ignored him completely. My wolf bristled with disgust at his proximity and crude behavior.
The rogue took another step, invading my personal space. His breath reeked of cheap alcohol and desperation.
