Filed to story: Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia & Ethan)
There were people on the other side laughing, drinking, talking loud with just one woman sitting alone. I recognized her vaguely. Mate of someone in Ethan’s circle. She smiled at me – tight, awkward.
I took off my coat, sat down, and Kate disappeared a moment later.
I picked up a drink, sipped it once, and then I heard it.
My name.
From the other side of the screen.
“She hasn’t been seen with Alpha Ethan much lately, huh?”
“Well, of course not. He takes Chole Windsor everywhere now.”
“She’s the daughter of the second biggest Pack Alpha in the country. Obviously, she’s a better fit. Makes the Pack look stronger.”
–
“Still, Olivia and Alpha Ethan were together what eight years? He’s probably tired of her even though they are mates.”
There was a pause. Then a chuckle.”Shame. She wasted her best years. I’d still take a go at her, though.”
The cup froze in my hand.
I recognized the voices. Two of them belonged to the sons of the Gamma and Delta.
The woman beside me shifted uncomfortably.
I stood up. She looked startled, maybe thinking I was going to leave.
Instead, I cleared my throat, picked up my drink, and stepped around the screen.
The laughter faded when they saw me.
I leaned casually against the edge of the divider, my drink in hand. I looked at the one who’d spoken last.
“Isn’t it a bit unfair?” I asked. “You make it sound like I’ve been living off him.”
They blinked.
I took a sip.
“Ethan was a virgin before we got together. So if I’ve been using him to satisfy my needs for eight years without pay- ing sounds like I got the better deal, doesn’t it?
–
Silence. The whole room had gone still.
Most of them just stared- and then widened when they looked at someone behind me.
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.
“Let’s go,” he said, already trying to pull me out of the room.
I didn’t fight.
Instead, I grabbed my drink and threw it in his face, a clear challenge in the presence of his pack.
The room fell into complete silence again. Someone gasped. I could hear the ice clink against his cheek as the liquid ran down his jawline.
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
| sack.
I kicked instinctively. “Ethan-put me down!”
He didn’t respond.
We walked into the hallway, and I struggled on his back, but Ethan didn’t loosen his grip. The elevator had just ar- rived on the floor. As he stepped inside and turned around, my upside-down view caught a pair of polished black leather shoes. Then black suit pants, long legs, and pale hands each finger slender, the joints sharp and defined.
The air felt still. Quiet but awkward.
–
Ethan walked out of the elevator just as I looked up and met a pair of deep, steady eyes.
Sharp and captivating.
They held mine for a second too long. I looked away, suddenly embarrassed to be seen like that. Slung over Ethan’s shoulder like some helpless object.
Suddenly, Yve stirred inside me, her instincts sharpening, the primal awareness of another strong wolf nearby spark- ing her curiosity.
I didn’t know why I felt that way. But I didn’t like it. It unsettled me.
