"Olivia?" Lucas's deep voice cthrough the speaker. "Is everything alright?" "She's fine," Ethan growled.
"She's with her mate, where she belongs."
| grabbed for the phone again. "Lucas, | need-"
Ethan ended the call abruptly. We struggled for the device, and in the process, it slipped from his grasp and fell
into a muddy puddle.
The screen flickered once before going dark. My last connection to help, shattered.
Fury coursed through me. | snatched up the broken phone and hurled it at Ethan's chest. It hit him with a dull

| began walking, not caring which direction | went as long as it was away from him. The uneven ground made
progress difficult, especially in my heels.
Suddenly, my ankle twisted painfully. | stumbled, barely catching myself before | fell.
Behind me, Ethan's phone rang with a familiar ringtone-Victoria's special tone. The sound | had cto despise
over the years.
Ethan answered immediately. "Victoria? What's wrong?"
Even from several feet away, | could hear her distressed voice through the speaker.
"Ethan, please help! I'm at Amber Crest Restaurant, and these men-they're threatening me! I'm so scared!"
Ethan's expression shifted instantly from anger to concern. "Stay where you are. I'm coming."
Without a backward glance at me, he jumped into his car and started the engine. The tires kicked up dirt and
gravel as he sped away, leavingstranded in the growing darkness.
| stood there, my ankle throbbing, watching as the taillights of his car disappeared down the dirt track. He hadn't
hesitated for a second. Victoria called, and he ran.
Just like always.
(Ethan's POV)
| arrived at Amber Crest Restaurant in record time, my mind racing with concern for Victoria. The parking lot
had been cleared by my security team, with two men lying injured at the feet of my bodyguards.
Daniel Reed, my Beta, approached as | exited the car. "Alpha, we have the situation under control."
"Where is she?" | demanded, scanning the area.
"Inside, in the private dining room," Daniel replied. "She's shaken but unharmed."
| nodded curtly and strode toward the restaurant entrance. The staff parted before me, bowing their heads
respectfully as | passed.
Victoria was sitting in our usual private dining room, a glass of untouched
moonlight wine before her. Her face brightened with relief when she saw me.
"Ethan!" She rose gracefully, rushing into my arms. "Thank the Moon you're here!"

| guided her back to her seat, taking the chair opposite. "Tellwhat happened."
Victoria's hands trembled as she reached for her wine glass. "I was having dinner alone, and these men
approached my table. They started making... inappropriate comments."
My jaw tightened. "What kind of comments?"
"Suggesting that I... that we..." She looked down, a blush spreading across her cheeks. “It was vulgar, Ethan.
When | asked them to leave, they becthreatening."
| signaled to Daniel, who was standing by the door. "Bring them in."
Moments later, my security team dragged the two men into the private dining room. Both were sporting fresh
bruises, evidence of my team's efficiency.
| studied them coldly. One was tall and lanky, with a scraggly beard. The other was shorter but muscular, with a
shaved head. Both reeked of cheap alcohol.
The taller one spat blood onto the expensive carpet. "She was asking for it, flirting with everyone in sight."
My amber eyes began to glow as rage coursed through me. "Is that so?"
Victoria gasped. "That's a lie! | was sitting alone, minding my own business!"
The shorter man sneered. "Yeah, right. Wearing that dress, batting those eyelashes at every man who walked
by."
