Chapter 61: Drunken Confessions

(Connor’s POV)

The rich aroma of aged whiskey mingled with expensive cigar smoke as I settled into my chair at Quinn’s estate. The familiar weight of playing cards in my hands felt

almost foreign after weeks of barely leaving Olivia’s side.

“Gentlemen, shall we begin?” Gabriel Andrews asked, his voice carrying its usual

measured calm.

Quinn shuffled the deck with practiced flair, his movements unnecessarily showy. “I still can’t believe you actually showed up tonight, Rivers.”

girlfriend later?”

The barb hit its mark. Everyone knew Quinn was perpetually single despite his

constant flirtations. His face flushed red, teeth gritting visibly.

“Andrews, look at him!” Quinn tried to drag Gabriel into the fray. “Is this how an Alpha

treats his friends? You’re single too, don’t you feel insulted?”
