Ava shot him a grateful smile. “Alpha Alexander, you are so
generous. Every girl should get a partner like you.”
“Don’t try. | am not interested in women.” Alexander glanced at
Ava, then turned to Ethan.
Ethan opened his mouth, his fangs faintly glinting in his parted
lips-his anger surfacing. He looked at Alexander, as though
daring him.
Ava laid a hand on his arm. “Ethan, this isn’t your fight tonight.
Let's go.””
He looked between them, rage simmering. “I'm not done here.”
Alexander shook his head. “You are done. Come!”

sat up slowly, surprised by the calm.

| pushed the tray aside and reached for my phone, quickly
dialing Miguel. My finger hesitated over the call button for a
second, then pressed.
He picked up before the first ring finished.
“Olivia,” he said, calm and clipped.
“I'm safe,” | said. “Just thought | should check in. I'm at Ava’s
place.”
There was a small pause before he chuckled. “I know.”*”
“You do?”
“Of course | do,” he said. “Nothing hides away from me.”
| laughed. “You sure do.”
“Stay safe and heal fast.”
“Thanks, Miguel,” | said softly and started sipping my remaining
coffee.
I was still clutching my half-empty coffee cup when my phone
buzzed again. This time, it was Rose.
“Hey,” | answered, my voice low.
There was no preamble. “You need to sit down for this.”
| paused, feeling my chest tighten. “What happened?”
Rose exhaled through the line, the sound more tense than usual “The Hawthrone family just held a press

“She claimed you seduced Ethan,”

| stared at my reflection in the glass, hollow-eyed.
Rose sounded furious. “They're trying to paint you as sscheming gold-digger who broke up two innocent
lovebirds.
“I-“My throat felt dry. “This is insane.”
“You think?” Rose snapped. “I'm shaking. | almost smashed my laptop when | saw the news alert!”
