Chapter 103
Alexander reached into his pocket and withdrew a business
card, extending it to Felix. “Dr. Luke Davis is the head
psychiatrist at Riverside Asylum. Highly regarded in his field, particularly with... challenging cases.” He said the
last part with
a glance at Ethan.
Felix accepted the card and nodded. “Thank you. I'll certainly
consider reaching out to him.” Then he wrapped an arm around
Ethan's shoulders.
Ethan leaned heavily against him, maintaining his facade of
intoxication as they made their way through the main
restaurant. Once they were outside, away from prying eyes and listening ears, particularly Olivia's and
Alexander's Ethan
straightened his posture.
He released himself from Felix’s grip and stepped away. By the
tthey reached Felix’s car, he was back to normal. He didn’t
bother explaining himself. Felix was a smart man, he could probably decode the reason for his actions by himself.
And Felix knew. He wasn’t stupid, and Ethan wasn’t as good of
an actor as he thought. But the problem now was that his sister,
Chole was involved with this man. He pressed his finger against
his temples, feeling a headache forming.
Chapter 103
Chole’s fascination or rather obsession with Ethan was
surprising to him. He couldn't understand it.
Meanwhile, Olivia had taken refuge in the restroom in an
attempt to avoid Ethan entirely. But through the thin door, she
could hear the muffled sound coming from the parking lot.

Her wolf, Yve, concentrated intensely, filtered the restaurant
noise, until they could hear clearly.
It was the sound of a phone ringing repeatedly. And then, she
heard Felix’s voice.
“What do you mean she’s missing? You were supposed to watch
Chole. When was the last time...” His words were cut off by the
sound of footsteps moving rapidly away.
Olivia waited several more minutes, but when she didn’t hear
anything more, she finally émerged from her hiding place and
returned.
When she returned to the private dining room, only Alexander,
Gai, Korbin, Ben and his secretary remained. The mood seemed
to have improved considerably since Ethan left. They were
barely drinking, with most of the plate already cleared.
Olivia didn’t bother taking her seat as the men were already
rising from theirs.
Ben approached Alexander with a warm smile. “Alpha, | hope
apter 109
tonight's complications won't affect our business relationship.”
He extended a hand. “I'd like to invite you to attend the acceptance ceremony for the Aurora Resort project next
Wednesday. It’s going to be quite the celebration.””
Alexander shook Ben's hand firmly. “I appreciate the invitation, Ben.” The older man was already smiling, but
Alexander wasn’t finished. “I've already made arrangements to travel next week, so I'm afraid the timing doesn’t
work.“
Ben's face fell. He'd hoped to make things right with the Alpha
at the event. Still, he wasn’t deterred. He nodded, said his
goodbyes and left with his secretary.
As Alexander prepared to leave the restaurant, he shrugged off
his jacket. Ethan had grabbed the fabric during their brief
struggle. There was no way he would ever put that over his
body again.
“Gai,” he held it out to his Gamma. “Please dispose of this jacket. |
won't be needing it anymore.”
Gai nodded without question, collecting the expensive garment
as if it were contaminated. He knew his Alpha had always been
particular about such things. Ethan had clearly crossed a line.
The three of them finally left the restaurant, jumping into the
car. Gai and Alexander were back in business mode, almost
forgetting about what had just transpired.

It frustrated her to no end. Now Chole was free to roam around,
facing no consequences for her actions. It frustrated her that
the system had failed once again.
What made it worse for Olivia, was how Alexander seemed to
have just accepted the situation. He had to know the truth. He
had resources and connections to stop such injustice from
happening.
But she couldn't really think that way. After all, she had no
right to ask Alexander for anything.
No right at all.
