Chapter 78: Cold Hearts and Snow Wounds–2
Cassandra’s perfectly shaped eyebrows rose in surprise. “Olivia’s apartment? Why would he be there?”
Jason leaned against the wall, suddenly feeling the late hour in his bones. “His wolf was driving him to be near her, I think. Even after she rejected him.”
“Rejected him?” Cassandra repeated, her voice sharpening. “What do you mean?”
“You don’t know?” Jason asked, surprised. “Ethan went to Olivia’s apartment tonight. He found her with
Connor Rivers.”
Cassandra’s wolf bristled visibly, her posture stiffening. “Connor Rivers? The Alpha from Riverdale?”
Jason nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes at her discomfort. “They’re engaged to be mated. The ceremony is happening soon.”
“That’s impossible,” Cassandra insisted, her green–gold eyes flashing. “Ethan wouldn’t care about that. He and

The door slammed against the wall, causing Ethan to flinch in his bed.
“Is it true?” she demanded, green–gold eyes blazing. “Are you obsessed with Olivia Winters?”
Ethan’s expression hardened, his wolf rising defensively despite his weakened state. “What are you doing here, Cassandra?”
“Answer me!” she insisted, stalking closer to his bed. “Did you buy an apartment near hers? Were you outside her building tonight?”
“That’s none of your business,” Ethan replied coldly.
The words struck Cassandra like physical blows. Her wolf recolled, hurt and confused by the rejection.
“You don’t mean that,” she whispered, her confident facade cracking slightly.
