Chapter 6
Olivia's POV
| sat on the edge of the padded examination table with the faint smell of antiseptic clinging to the air. Healer
Rosa gently tilted my chin up, examining the cut on my forehead.
“Your temple region took the most damage,” she said, wiping the area with a damp cloth. “What happened?”
| hesitated, not wanting to get into the messy details of the accident. “It’s nothing. Just sreckless driver and
bad luck. Yve has already handled most of it. | just cto make sure it heals without a scar.”
Rosa reached for a small jar on the counter, scooping a bit of herbal salve onto her fingers. “Hold still.”
| closed my eyes, letting the coolness of the cream soothing the faint sting.
The door burst open suddenly, crashing against the wall. Rosa flinched, her hands freezing mid-air.
Ethan stormed in. He took a few quick steps toward us.
Rosa’s eyes darted between us, her nervous fingers tightening around the jar. | offered her a reassuring nod. “It’s
fine. That's my... boss.”
Ethan centered his focus entirely on me. “Is it serious?” he demanded.
Rosa straightened, adjusting her glasses. “It’s just a superficial wound. Nothing too serious. She'll be fine.”
He let out a breath. Rosa gavetheointment, then hurried out of the room.
Ethan stepped aside, but the moment | reached the doorway, he grabbed the small bottle of ointment from my
hand. | paused, raising an eyebrow at him.
“I'll handle this,” he muttered, tucking the bottle into his coat pocket as if it were sgrand gesture of care.
| didn’t bother stopping him. If he wanted to play the part of the attentive husband, | wasn’t going to waste my
breath arguing.
| pulled out my phone, intending to call a cab, but Ethan snatched the phone from my hand, his grip firm.
“Let's go,” he said, already steeringtoward the hospital exit.
“Hey-" | tried to pull my arm back, but his grip tightened.
He ledto the parking lot, not releasing my wrist until we reached his car. He opened the passenger door,
practical- ly shovinginside before slamming it shut behind me.
He rounded the car quickly, slipping into the driver's seat and shutting the door with a rough, final thud.

The ride was silent. | didn’t wish to speak anything to him, either. But, Ethan was gripping the steering wheel
way too tightly after we parked the car. | knew something was going to cfrom him.
“Were you trying to punish me?” he asked. “First, you blocked my number and then you almost tried to take your
life. Why did you do that?”
| blinked at him, taken aback. Then, before | could stop myself, | burst out laughing.
His eyes narrowed. “What the hell is so funny?”
“You think I'd try to punish you by crashing my own car? You clearly think of yourself a little too much, Ethan.”
He flinched, his fingers twitching against the wheel.
“Giveback my phone,” | said, holding out my hand.
He ignored my outstretched hand, leaning back against his seat, his eyes narrowing. “Look, maybe I lied about
the business trip. Fine. But that doesn’t mean you get to make things difficult for Chole. She ended up crying
because of you. Don’t you feel guilty at all?”
“Guilty? For what?”
“Chole is alpha’s daughter... she’s sensitive, a bit spoiled” he said, his voice softening. “She’s not used to being
treat- ed that way. Why can’t you be a bit more... generous?”
For a moment, | just stared at him. The way he talked about her, the softness in his tone, the protectiveness. It
made my skin crawl.
| leaned back against the cool leather seat, closing my eyes for a second, feeling Yve stir inside me.
“Fine,” | said quietly, opening my eyes to meet his. “I won't make things difficult for her. But keep her in check.
Make sure she stays out of my way.”
Ethan's brow furrowed. “Chole is like my sister. You're completely misunderstanding this.”
| felt my jaw clench, the urge to throw the evidence in his face nearly overpowering. Instead, | forced a tight,
bitter smile. “Oh? Well, then congratulations. Must be nice to have a new sister.”
He went quiet, his eyes darkening, but he didn’t say another word.
| pulled the blazer tighter around my shoulders, the warm, woody scent still clinging to the fabric. It felt out of
place, almost comforting in a way that madeuneasy.
Ethan's eyes flicked over to me, his nose twitching slightly. He frowned, his jaw tightening as he stared at the
jacket. This was the first the noticed that | was wearing a high-quality light grey men’s suit, clearly custom-
made.
“Whose suit is that?” he asked, his tone sharp.
| looked out the window, not bothering to meet his eyes. “My new brother's.”

Ethan went quiet for a moment. Then, without warning, he reached over and yanked the jacket off my shoulders.
Be- fore | could grab it back, he rolled down the window and tossed it out into the rain-soaked street.
| stared at him, shock turning quickly into anger. “What the hell, Ethan?” | reached for the door handle, my pulse
rac- ing. | had promised the return the suit to that butler.
He grabbed my arm, his grip tight, yankingback into my seat. His face was close, his breath hot against my
cheek.
“Don’t test me, Olivia,” he said, his voice low and cold. “Don’t provokelike this. | still am the Alpha here, and
don’t you dare forget that.”
| tried to pull my arm free, but his grip

| tried to clear my mind, to block out the day, the fight, the way he had kissedlike | was something he
owned.
Then his phone buzzed on the nightstand.
My eyes snapped open. | turned my head slightly, just enough to catch the glowing screen.
1:35 AM.
The non the screen was just three letters.
Cho.
My stomach twisted. What a cute couple, so intimate.
