Lucas Blackwood stepped forward, offering his Embossed Linen Handkerchiefs to Olivia. She took them without a
word, methodically wiping the traces of my blood from her knuckles..
The silence stretched between us, thick with tension and aggressive pheromones. Then, without even glancing
at Ethan, she threw one of the handkerchiefs directly in my face.
The soft linen landed on my cheek, sliding down to my lap. The gesture was so full of disdain, so deliberately

"So you're taking her side now?" | whispered, my voice breaking. "After everything I've done for you? After
everything we've been through together?"
Ethan's expression hardened. “I'm not taking sides. I'm trying to prevent this situation from escalating further."

"Fine,” | conceded, dabbing at my bloody lip with the handkerchief Olivia had thrown at me. "I won't press
charges. But she needs to apologize."
It was a perfect trap. Forcing Olivia to apologize to me-the she-wolf who had destroyed her family-would be an
unbearable humiliation for her. And if she refused, she would appear unreasonable and vindictive.
Ethan glanced at my battered face and nodded. "That's fair."
He turned toward Olivia, who was already walking toward Lucas Blackwood's
Armored SUV. "Olivia," he called, his voice carrying the unmistakable timbre of an Alpha command.
