Chapter 83: Severed Ties and Calculated Cruelty

(Olivia’s POV)

The movers carried the last of my suitcases toward the door, their efficient movements a stark contrast to the heaviness in my heart. Though I was eager to leave this place and its painful memories behind, something about closing this chapter of my life felt bittersweet.

“Is that everything, Ms. Winters?” the beta mover asked, his voice respectful.

I nodded, taking one final glance around the apartment that had been my home. “Yes, that’s all.”

The elevator doors opened with a soft chime, and my heart stopped. Ethan Grey stood there, looking like ghost of his former self. His face was pale, eyes sunken with dark circles beneath them, making him look haggard and thin. The vitality that once radiated from his wolf form seemed diminished, almost extinguished.

His melancholy blue eyes widened as he took in the scene the movers carrying my luggage, the nearly empty apartment behind me.

“Liv, are you moving?” His voice was raspy, barely recognizable.

I only nodded, remaining silent. There was nothing left to say between us.

Gathering my courage, I walked toward the elevator, intending to brush past him without further interaction.

But as I mov

past, Ethan’s hand shot out, seizing my wrist in a desperate grip.

“Please don’t go,” he begged, his eyes filled with fragmented emotions. His wolf was practically whimpering through his gaze. “I promise I won’t harass you again. I just… I just want to be near you. To quietly stay by your side.”

Gone was the arrogant Alpha heir I’d known. In his place stood a broken man, clinging to the last threads of what we once had.

My gaze fell to where his fingers encircled my wrist. “Let go of me, Ethan,” I said, my voice icy.

Instead of releasing me, his grip tightened, desperation making him forget his strength. Pain shot through

my arm.

—

“You’re hurting me,” I cried out, wincing. “Your werewolf strength you’re hurting me!”

As if electrocuted by silver, Ethan immediately released my wrist, horror flashing across his face.

“I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he stammered, his eyes wide with guilt. “I just don’t want you to leave.”

I rubbed my reddened wrist, anger and pity warring within me. “I’ve made myself clear, Ethan. We can never return to the past, nor can we start anew.”

His face crumpled at my words, but 1 forced myself to continue. This needed to be said

“I don’t want to carry a life on my back after a relationship, I finished, stepping into the elevator with the bes movers. “Especially one that was so damaging to my own wolf.”

The doors closed on Ethan’s devastated expression, and I exhaled slowly, feeling as though rd finally out the last thread binding us together.
