Chapter 45: Predators and Protectors

(Olivia’s POV)

“Alpha Connor…” The name escaped my lips in a breathless whisper as I found myself

safely enveloped in his strong arms.

Behind me, heavy footsteps pounded to a sudden halt. I turned slightly to see Harold Blackwood and Douglas Thornton frozen in their tracks, their earlier predatory expressions melting into shock and fear.

Harold’s mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. The vulgar threats he’d been shouting moments ago died in his throat as he took in the imposing figure

holding me protectively.

“You’re… Rivers… President Rivers?” Douglas stammered, his face draining of color as

recognition dawned.

Connor’s four bodyguards flanked him like a wall of muscle, their expressions promising violence. The two businessmen seemed to shrink before my eyes, their earlier swagger evaporating into trembling panic.

I felt Connor’s chest rise against mine as he drew a deep breath. His ice–blue eyes had turned glacial, radiating an oppressive aura that seemed to drop the temperature

in the entire lobby.

“P–President Rivers,” Harold forced out a sickening attempt at a smile, sweat beading on his forehead. “Do you know this Miss Winters?”

Connor didn’t bother responding to their pathetic groveling. His jaw tightened as he shot a meaningful glance toward his bodyguards.

Without a word, the four men moved forward with practiced efficiency. They seized Harold and Douglas, who offered no resistance as they were effortlessly restrained.

“They tried to force me to drink something suspicious,” I explained quietly, looking up at Connor. “When I refused and tried to leave, they became aggressive. They were going to… to teach me a lesson.”

Connor’s expression remained dangerously calm as he gently took my hand. His touch was warm despite the coldness in his eyes.

“I’ll take you home,” he said simply, his voice leaving no room for argument.

I nodded and followed obediently, but couldn’t help glancing back at the two men being dragged away. A knot of anxiety formed in my stomach.

“What will you do with those two?” I asked softly.

Connor’s reply was measured yet somehow more frightening for its calmness. “Let

them learn a lesson.”

Though he didn’t elaborate, I understood the implication. The Rivers pack didn’t tolerate those who threatened their own, and Harold and Douglas had made a grave

mistake.

Inside the club, the bodyguards roughly shoved the two businessmen into a private

room. The door slammed shut behind them with an ominous finality.
