Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 358

As the drug took stronger hold, my mind filled with images of Olivia. Her emerald eyes, her soft skin, the way she used to whisper my name.

My rational mind faded, replaced by primal instinct. I needed Olivia. I wanted to have another pup with my true mate.

If Olivia carried my child, she would be mine again. Lucas Blackwood would never touch her.

I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my knuckles white. I couldn't lose Olivia. Not to him. Not to anyone.

The drug whispered that I should take advantage of this situation. Force myself on her if necessary. Once we reconnected, her love for me would return. I was sure of it.

I parked haphazardly outside her cottage, stumbling to her door. My eyes were bloodshot, my breathing ragged.

The password lock glowed in the darkness. I didn't knock. Instead, I punched in Lily's birthday.

The lock clicked open.

She still used Lily's birthday. She still remembered. She still cared.

The unlocked door confirmed my resolve: I must have Olivia. Our Lily may yet return.

(Olivia's POV)

I had just finished showering when I heard a noise at the front door. Wrapping a towel around myself, I grabbed the silver dagger I kept for protection.

My heart nearly stopped when I saw Ethan standing in my bathroom doorway. Before I could react, he pulled me into his arms, his mouth descending toward mine.

I leaned back quickly, avoiding his lips. His kiss landed on my ear instead, his hot breath burning my skin.

"Olivia," he whispered, his voice deep and hoarse with need. "Olivia, Olivia..."

The raw emotion in his voice was impossible to ignore. But I wouldn't be swayed.

"Ethan Stone, what are you doing? Let me go!" I shouted, struggling against his iron grip.

Something was wrong with him. His eyes were dilated, his skin feverish. I remembered this look from seven years ago, when we first met.

I didn't want to be with him again. Not after everything he'd done.

I hoped to coax him into releasing me so I could escape.

"Olivia, I don't want to go to the medical den," he repeated, his breathing becoming more labored.

The hand around my waist tightened painfully.

"Ethan, don't! Stop!" My voice rose in panic.

His eyes were completely bloodshot now. As he looked at me, I could see he was no longer in control.

A shiver ran through me as he lowered his head to kiss me.

"Ethan, if you force me, I will hate you forever!" I cried out desperately.

He froze, his dark eyes searching mine. His lips moved against mine as he spoke.

"If I don't touch you, will you forgive me and give me another chance?"
