Adrian nodded understandingly. “Of course. Safety first.”
As they took the elevator to the first floor, the doors opened to reveal an unexpected sight. Ethan Quinn and Lily were embracing intimately in the hallway.
The couple immediately separated upon seeing the group. Lily’s face turned bright red as she stammered,
O-Olivia!”
Olivia’s expression became serious as she took in the scene. Her amber eyes narrowed with concern and surprise.
“Lily,” she said firmly, stepping forward. “We need to talk.”
She turned to Adrian and his family with an apologetic smile. “Please go ahead. I need to speak with my friend privately.”
The elderly grandmother cheerfully waved goodbye. “Don’t forget to visit our pack territory, dear!” Little Sophie sweetly called out, “Goodbye, Miss Winters! Thank you for the beautiful hair clip!” Adrian hesitated for a moment, his eyes showing concern. “Are you sure you’ll be alright?”
“I’ll be fine,” Olivia assured him. “Thank you for a lovely evening.”
Once the family departed, Olivia turned back to the couple with crossed arms. Her amber eyes scrutinized them both with growing sternness.
“Well?” she demanded, her voice carrying an edge of authority. “What exactly is going on here?”
Lily struggled to find words, her face still flushed with embarrassment. “Olivia, I can explain…”
“Then explain,” Olivia said curtly, her gaze shifting between them.
Ethan Quinn shifted uncomfortably under her stern look. The beta werewolf had never seen this side of Olivia
-before.
“Perhaps we should move somewhere more private,” he suggested, gesturing toward the restaurant’s upper floors. “I had reserved a private room upstairs for dinner with Lily.”
They proceeded to the room, which turned out to be a romantic couple’s suite. Rose petals were scattered across the table, candles flickered softly, and the entire atmosphere screamed intimate dinner.
Olivia’s mood darkened further as she took in the romantic setup. She sat down heavily, her expression thunderous.
“When did this start?” she demanded, her voice cold with betrayal.
Her feelings were complex and painful. She had always viewed Ethan Quinn as a close friend figure, almost like family. Watching him pursue her best friend felt like watching her own family being disrupted.
Lily nervously twisted her hands in her lap. “It started recently,” she admitted quietly. “After the incident at Nightshade Bar.”
“When you became jealous over her joking about hiring male entertainers for me?” Olivia’s voice rose with anger.
Ethan’s jaw tightened. “I may have been aggressive, but Lily had feelings for me too.”
“Did he force himself on you?” Olivia asked Lily directly, her protective instincts flaring.
Lily blushed deeply but shook her head. “No, Olivia. I… I did have feelings for him.”
Olivia’s anger shifted to concern. “Do you understand what this means? The scandal this could cause in werewolf society?”
Her voice carried genuine worry. “The gossip and criticism you’ll face if other pack members discover you’re involved with Connor’s close friend?”
“They’ll paint you as someone who betrayed pack loyalties,” Olivia continued, her amber eyes filled with protective fury. “The cruel rumors that will follow you everywhere.”
Ethan’s expression grew serious. “I understand the gravity of the situation, I promise to have a proper conversation with Connor about our relationship.”
Lily looked shocked, her eyes widening with alarm. “Ethan! We agreed not to tell Connor about our relationship yet!”
(Olivia’s POV)
Ethan Quinn sighed deeply, his shoulders sagging with the weight of reality. “Lily, they will know sooner or later.”
Lily Chen’s eyelashes trembled as she looked down at her hands. Her voice wasn’t as lively as usual, carrying a hint of sadness that made my heart ache for her.
“Ethan, I’m afraid… or let’s just forget it.”
The words hung in the air like a death sentence. I could see the pain flickering across both their faces.
Ethan’s tone became firm, his beta wolf instincts flaring with determination. “It’s impossible.”
His voice carried absolute conviction as he reached for Lily’s hands. “Lily, trust me, okay? I will solve this.”
Lily’s expression crumbled, sadness mixing with a deep sense of loss. “How do you solve it? Do you want our families to sever their pack alliance to fulfill us?”
The weight of pack politics and family expectations pressed down on both of them like a physical force. I watched as Ethan frowned and fell into silence.
His internal conflict between love and pack duty was written clearly across his features. The complexity of their situation seemed to grow heavier with each passing moment.
I felt a headache building behind my temples from this complicated pack drama. The romantic setup around us suddenly felt suffocating.
“I will help you keep the secret, but this matter should be resolved as soon as possible,” I said helplessly, rubbing my forehead.
“It’s okay if I find out today, but if those who love gossip and chew their tongues see it, take a few sneak shots and sell them to the paparazzi, you two will be on the headlines tomorrow.”
I turned to address Lily directly, my amber eyes serious with concern. “It’s better to confess proactively than to let them know from others.”
The truth always had a way of surfacing, especially in werewolf society where secrets were currency and gossip traveled faster than wildfire.
Lily remained silent, her gaze fixed on the rose petals scattered across the table. She was avoiding eye contact, and I could smell her fear and uncertainty about facing their families.
Ethan moved closer to embrace her, his protective werewolf instincts taking over completely. “Lily, with me here, don’t be afraid.”
He whispered the words against her hair, his voice carrying all the tenderness of a mate trying to comfort his beloved.
I stood up from my chair, knowing this was my cue to leave them alone. “I should go. You two need to figure this out together.”
“Thank you for understanding, Olivia, Ethan said quietly, his gratitude genuine.
I nodded and made my way out of the romantic suite, leaving them to navigate their complicated feelings in private.
The elevator ride down felt longer than usual. My mind was already shifting to tomorrow’s plans with Grace
Winters.
I walked through the restaurant’s main lobby and out to the underground garage where my BMW sedan waited. The familiar weight of my car keys felt comforting in my palm.
As I drove through Harbor City’s evening traffic toward the Winters Family Estate, my phone buzzed with a message. I glanced at it when I stopped at a red light.
Adrian Sinclair had texted: “Did you arrive home safely? Please drive carefully.”
The thoughtful gesture from the fellow lawyer made me smile slightly. His consideration was refreshing after the emotional drama I’d just witnessed.
But my mind remained preoccupied with Lily and Ethan’s complicated situation. Pack politics made everything so much more difficult than it needed to be.
