Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

(Olivin's POV)

"Is that so? Are you so sure?" I asked Victoria with a sneer, watching her face closel

Victoria's perfectly painted lips twitched slightly. "Of course!" she retorted, but I could see the uncertainty in

her eyes.

I took a step closer, lowering my voice. "Victoria, I overheard Eleanor calling you last night."

Her expression remained neutral, but I noticed her fingers tense at her sides.

"If Ethan knew that your first place win in the Pack Healer's Crystal Competition was bought by Eleanor for fifty million dollars...

The effect was immediate. Victoria's pupils constricted with shock, her composure momentarily shattered.noveldrama

She hadn't expected this.

But Victoria Frost wasn't one to stay rattled for long. Within seconds, she had regained her poise, her lips curving into a calculated smile.

"So what?" she challenged, tossing her hair back. "Olivia, don't tell me you plan to tell Ethan.

She laughed derisively, the sound grating on my nerves. "Do you think Ethan would believe you just based on

your words?"

The truth in her statement hit harder than any physical blow. I lowered my eyes, unable to maintain my

defiant stance.

"Of course he won't, I murmured.

A wave of bitterness washed over me as I acknowledged the reality of my situation. If only Ethan had a shred

of trust in me, I wouldn't have to endure this humiliation.

Victoria's smile widened, triumph gleaming in her eyes. She thought she'd won.

“But.......” I interrupted her before she could gloat further, a faint smile playing on my lips.

I slowly raised my eyes, letting my gaze drift past Victoria to the moonlit pavilion just a few steps away.

Victoria's self-satisfied expression faltered.

Her heart must have sunk as she instinctively turned around. From the shadows emerged Ethan Stone, his

amber eyes cold and intimidating.

Victoria froze, stunned. The realization dawned on her face she had been set up!

Standing there, meeting Ethan's cold gaze, Victoria panicked. It was clearly the first time Ethan had i

her with such coldness.

She rushed forward and grabbed his wrist, her eyes reddening as she choked out, "Ethan, listen to my explanation."

The Alpha King radiated an icy aura, his face grim with anger. Yet, he didn't shake off Victoria's hand. He was waiting for her explanation.

My lips curled into a sarcastic smile. This was the difference between love and indifference

Even though Victoria had practically admitted to using underhanded methods, something Ethan detested, he was still willing to give her a chance to explain. But for me, any baseless accusation from Victoria was enough for Ethan to condemn

me.

Past memories flashed through my mind like a slideshow.
