Chapter 80: Sulolde–1
Chapter 80: Suicide
(Olivia’s POV)
Connor’s fingers tapped rhythmically against his laptop as he continued his revelation, “Frederick Warner was raised by a powerful Alpha in America. He now commands his own pack and even possesses a private security force.”
My amber eyes widened with concern. The Implications of what Connor was telling me sent a chill down my
spine.
“Con, you need to be careful,” I urged, reaching for his hand. “If he’s as dangerous as you say…”
Connor’s ice–blue eyes softened as he looked at me. His fingers intertwined with mine, squeezing gently. “My concern isn’t for myself, Livvy,” he admitted, his voice low. “I’m worried he might target you as a means of attacking me.”
My wolf bristled at the thought, protective instincts flaring. “Me? But why would he-”
“Because you’re what matters most to me,” Connor interrupted, his gaze intense. “And Frederick knows that.”
I felt my heart skip a beat at his words, even as dread pooled in my stomach.
“There’s more,” Connor continued, his expression darkening. “Vanessa Reed has been working as Frederick’s accomplice in our territory.”
The revelation hit me like a physical blow. “Vanessa? But she’s your foster sister!”
Connor’s jaw tightened. “Yes. Her betrayal runs deep. My enforcers are retrieving her from America as we speak”
I struggled to process this information. The Vanessa I knew had always seemed devoted to Connor, almost obsessively so.
“No matter what,” Connor emphasized, his tone leaving no room for argument, “you must remember to take your bodyguards with you wherever you go in the future.”
Before I could respond, the doorbell rang, cutting through the tension in the room.
Connor closed his laptop and stood. That would be our lunch.”
I followed him to the door, momentarily confused. “You ordered food? From where?”
“The Silver Moon,” he replied casually, referring to a five–star restaurant known throughout Harbor City. “But they don’t deliver,” I pointed out, frowning slightly.
Connor simply smiled, his ice–blue eyes gleaming with subtle power. They will deliver if you want to eat.” The implication was clear- his influence as Alpha could overcome such trivial restrictions. I couldn’t help but smile at his confidence.
The delivery person handed over several containers of exquisitely prepared food, bowing respectfully to Connor before departing.

Chapter 79: Family Secrets–2
The words tasted bitter in my mouth, acknowledging that my father had never truly loved my mother..
“My grandmother Eleanor hated this kind of woman who had no moral bottom line and destroyed other people’s familles, and my grandfather Gerald, who had been upright all his life, also firmly refused to let this kind of woman into the pack, letting her ruin our pack’s reputation.”
I paused, gathering my thoughts before continuing with the painful family history.
“At first, everyone in the pack was deceived by my father, thinking that he had really terminated the pregnancy and broken off his relationship with the woman outside.”
The betrayal still stung, even after all these years.
“Probably when I was five or six years old, my mother discovered the truth and had a big fight with him. At
that time, they were making a big fuss about severing their mate bond, and it even alarmed the elders of both the Rivers and Lin packs.”
I remembered hiding in my room, covering my ears as their shouting echoed through our home.
“Because theirs was an arranged mating. it was not only a matter between the two of them but also a major
event related to the interests of both packs.”
I sighed, remembering the tension that had filled our home for months afterward.
We settled at the dining table, the delicious aromas momentarily distracting us from the
This smells amazing,” I admitted, opening one of the containers to reveal perfectly seared venison with roasted vegetables.
Connor watched me with a soft expression as I took my first bite. For a moment, we could pretend we were just a nonmal couple enjoying a meal together, not discussing rogue packs and potential threats.
