Alpha Ethan’s POV

Five Days Late

Tsat at my office desk, flipping through some fies that no longer made sense to me. The words blurred together, lines tangled in thoughts. It had been five days since the incident, five long days since Haven was hospitalized.

I told myself again and again that I didn’t care that she meant nothing to me but deep down, I knew I was lying Every second spent trying to erase her from my mind only made her image sharper, her voice louder, her scent Mronger.

I leaned back in my chair and stared at the ceiling. Why couldn’t forget her? She was just a maid, an omega, a stave–my slave, I should hate her. I should be disgusted by the very idea of wanting her. But I wasn’t. And that was what pissed me off the most.

If I couldn’t stop desiring her, then maybe I should destroy her. I muttered under my breath, a hoisted smile creeping onto my lips. “I’ll make her regret ever living”

ble. My fingers hesitated

Just then, the sharp ring of my phone pierced the silence. I sighed and glanced at the screen. It was the doctor from the pack eine before I picked it up and put it on speaker, resting it on the desk.

“Alpha,” the doctor said immediately, “the maid has woken up… but she hasn’t fully recovered”

“Discharge her,” said coldly.

“But Alpha-

said discharge her” i snapped, my voice loud enough to rattle the windows. I didn’t wait for a response. I ended the call, stood from my chair, and made my way toward the conference room where the shareholders meeting was being held.

The meeting began with the usual greetings and polite nods. I took my se company’s financial advisor to my left.

The room was filled with the murmurs of important men and womon–people I’d once cared about impressing. Not anymore. Now, every word spoken felt like static in my ears.

The agenda for today was focused on reviewing the financial standing of the pack’s corporate holdings and allocating resources for the next quarter. tried to listen, to care, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Raven.

Was she out of the clinic yet!

Did she eat?

Was she sleeping in her old room, or had someone moved her elsewhere?

Was she alone?

“Alpha?” someone called, snapping me out of my thoughts.

Iblinked. “What?”

“I asked if you approve of the budget reallocation to the secondary factory in the north,” the advisor repeated.

Inodded. “Sure. Do whatever.”

When it was over, I headed back to my office with heavy steps. The guards opened the doors for me, and I walked in only to frees

There she wa

olivia.

My mate

She stood in front of my desk, smiling brightly, holding a picnic basket in her hands.

“It’s been a while since I last visited,” she said softly, walking toward me. “These years, right?”

I stared at her in disbelief. I hadn’t seen Olivia at my workplace in ages. We barely even spent time together anymore.

Before I could say anything, she ran into my arms and hugged me tightly. I stiffened. My arms didn’t move.

“brought lunch for you,” she continued, pulling back just enough to show me the basket. “Your favorite. I thought…maybe we could sat together, like

wo used to

I forced a small smile. “That’s thoughtful.”

But inside, I felt nothing. No spark. No excitement. No warmth. I didn’t even care what she brought. The only thing I wanted was to go home–to see Raven. To touch her. Maybe even fuck her so hard she’d forget everyone else. That was all I could think about.

Still, I couldn’t walk away from Olivia now. Not without questions.

So instead, I grabbed her hand and pulled her closer, leading her toward my desk.

She looked at me, confused “Ethan? What are you

I didn’t give her a chance to finish.

I kissed her.

Not because I wanted to. But because I needed to do something–anything–to feel in control again.

I pushed Olivia onto my desk and tore her blouse open. She gasped but didn’t resist. She clung to me as attacked her lips, her neck, her chest–every part of her that had once felt familiar.

We had sex

Once. Then twice.

It was rough, intense, fueled by frustration–not love Not lust. Not desire.

Just rape.

I used her the same way I once feared using Raven. But the worst part was… I didn’t even feel better afterward I just felt empty-

We lay there for a moment, Olivia breathless beneath me. She smiled up at me, brushing my check with her fingers. “I’ve missed this.”

I didn’t respond. I stood up, adjusted my pants, and buttoned my shirt back up.

She sat up slowly, her brows drawing together. “Are y

“you okay?”
