Filed to story: Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia & Ethan)
I zigzagged through the neighborhood until I reached the gate. Entering the code with jittery fingers, I finally rolled into the underground garage of Duskhollow Pines, pulled into my spot, and turned off the engine.
Only when the silence closed in around me did I allow myself to slump over the steering wheel.
Gone. He was gone.
I whispered it aloud to reassure myself.
“He’s not here.”
But Yve didn’t relax.
I grabbed my bag, exited the car, and locked it three times just for good measure. The hallway back to my place was empty, just the echo of my shoes clicking on the floor. I tapped Ava’s number as I walked, lifting the phone to my ear.
She answered after one ring.
“Liv? Where are you?”
“Home,” I said, letting out a breath. “Something weird happened.
I think I was being followed all the way from Jersey!”
Ava’s voice sharpened. “What? Are you inside?”
“Not yet,” I said. “I’m at the front door now. Unlocking it.”
She swore under her breath. “Don’t hang up. Stay on the line.
You want me to come over?”
“I don’t know.” I kept my eyes flicking left and right. “I lost him back at-“
That’s when I felt it.
A shift in the air. A sudden breeze where there should’ve been none.
And then-
Pain.
A sharp, electric surge bloomed at the base of my neck. My phone clattered to the floor, and Ava’s voice shouted something from the speaker.
I couldn’t hear her anymore.
The world spun sideways.
My knees buckled.
I fell.
Darkness swallowed everything.
And I didn’t feel a thing.
Alexander’s POV
I stood before the long mahogany table in my parents’ living room, staring at an array of glossy photographs laid out like a carefully curated gallery of eligible women. Profiles, lineage, accomplishments-each smiling face chosen for political advantage or business merger. I had barely glanced at them when my phone buzzed on the side table.
Unknown number.
I debated ignoring it, but instinct made me reach for it anyway.
“Alexander speaking.”
“Alpha Alexander?” A breathless voice rushed through the line.
“It’s Ava.”
I straightened slightly, gaze flickering toward the doorway.
“Yes?”
“I-I think something’s wrong. Olivia called me ten minutes ago.
We were on a call. Then the call suddenly disconnected with a thud. It happened right outside her house. She said she lost a stalker earlier on the highway. She didn’t seem too shaken, but I
“Slow down,” I said calmly, already walking toward the hallway. “When exactly did this happen?”
“Just now. I tried calling her again-no answer. Her phone’s off.””

“Where are you right now?”
“I’m on my way to Duskhollow Pines. I’m ten minutes away!”
“I’ll handle it.” I ended the call and turned back toward the table.
My mother raised an expectant eyebrow. “Leaving already?”
“There’s an urgent matter to attend to.” I offered a faint smile.
New Book: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

This story has so many continuity holes. First, he already signed the divorce agreement and they are well past the 30 day cooling off period. At the charity thing, where Ethan was arrested, they said he had until the next day to dispute the divorce. He was released two days later, so the divorce should have been final then. Olivia’s building has fingerprint for floor access. How did this person get on her floor? Like I’m trying to continue, but each page has a hole in the story.
