Chapter 211: Chance Encounter

(Evelyn’s POV)

I stared at my phone in disbelief. The screen was completely blank. All the photos I had taken were gone.

A Pack Enforcer stepped forward, his voice stern and cold. “You took private photos without permission. They

have been deleted. If there is a next time, you will not be let off so lightly.”

My hands trembled as I clutched the useless device. The enforcers moved to guard the armored SUV where

Olivia had disappeared.

I recalled the man who had swept her away. He was tall, powerfully built, and exuded an aura of Alpha authority that even Theodore lacked. The way he had lifted Olivia so effortlessly, the protective way he held

her – it made my chest burn with jealousy.

What had Olivia done to deserve the devotion of two such exceptional Alphas? First Theodore, now this

mysterious stranger who commanded such respect that his enforcers could delete evidence without

consequence.

Killian was stopped by the guards as he tried to approach the heavily secured vehicle. He could only wait

anxiously outside, his ice–blue eyes filled with concern.

I watched the SUV’s tinted windows, knowing Olivia was inside with yet another powerful man wrapped

around her finger.

(Olivia’s POV)

Inside the SUV, the air was thick with intimacy. Matthew’s kiss was a blend of possessiveness and tender

restraint that made my head spin.

As I lost myself in his gentleness, I tried to explain the situation. “There were so many people, a stampede

was starting… Killian… Killian…”

Before I could finish, Matthew teasingly captured my earlobe with his teeth. A jolt shot through me, making

me squirm in his arms.

I pushed weakly against his chest. “He was just protecting me.”

Matthew looked at me, his expression unreadable. He pulled me closer, his lips brushing against mine as he

murmured a simple, “Mm.”

It was as if he both heard and ignored my explanation. He kissed me again, deeply, his hand caressing the

skin over my heart.

The overwhelming sensation brought tears to my eyes. Hot drops rolled down my cheeks as emotion crashed

over me.

Matthew felt my tears and immediately pulled back. His golden eyes filled with concern as he held me softly.

“Did I hurt you?” he asked gently.

I tried to kiss him back, but he stopped me, seeing my emotional state. His thumb brushed away my tears.

“Don’t fight with people,” he advised softly. “It’s not worth it. Your hand will hurt.”

His gaze was intense as he continued. “I feel heartache.”

His words pierced my defenses. I looked at him, stunned by the raw honesty in his voice.

He kissed me again, this time with a bitter sweetness that made my chest ache.

After we both calmed down, I remembered my promise. “My laptop short–circuited and burned out. Killian happened to be there and helped me. I have to treat him to dinner.”

Matthew’s tone was flat. “He’s really free.”

He lowered the car window, his gaze meeting Killian’s anxious one outside. “Care to join us for dinner?”

We arrived at a restaurant called The Sovereign’s Table.

Killian watched me cling to Matthew’s arm as we walked. The two of us appeared so close that yesterday’s distance felt like an illusion.

In the corridor, we were stopped by a senior pack elder in formal robes. The old man smiled warmly at

Matthew.

“Shall we sit together? I have an acquaintance of yours here.”

Matthew glanced at me for approval. I nodded, and we followed the elder into a large private dining room.

Inside, my eyes met the surprised, intense gaze of Theodore. He was seated next to the beautiful she–wolf

celebrity, Audrey Vale.

O

Alarm bells rang in my mind. Audrey was a key witness against Theodore in our separation proceedings. Her presence here felt like a betrayal.

I gripped Matthew’s arm tightly and whispered through our newly formed mate bond. “Is she here… has she

been bought off?”

Matthew calmly squeezed my hand. His voice came through our bond, warm and reassuring. “Don’t worry. I’l

handle it.”

His confidence calmed my racing heart. Soon after, a pack healer arrived to treat my injured hand with moonlight herb salve.

Seeing this, Theodore anxiously approached our table. “Was it me? Did I hurt you this morning?”

His voice was filled with concern, casting a chill over the room. I simply ignored him, turning to take

Matthew’s hand in mine.

Defeated, Theodore retreated to his seat. He looked like a pathetic shadow of his former Alpha self.

The dishes began to arrive – a spread of Stonehaven cuisine, all of my favorites. I ate with relish while Matthew watched me quietly.

When I finally put down my fork after a moonberry tart dessert, my eyes were sparkling. “Was it good?” he asked, his gaze lingering on my glossy lips.

“Delicious,” I replied softly.

“Let me have a taste?” he murmured.

Before I could offer him a plece, he leaned in. He cupped my face and pecked my lips gently.

He cleverly shielded the kiss from the rest of the table with his hand. But the gesture was more suggestive than concealing.
