Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 236

I froze in place as Olivia’s blouse slipped from her shoulders, revealing the delicate lace of her bra against her pale skin. My wolf surged forward, a primal growl building in my chest at the

sight of my mate.

“What are you doing?” I asked, my voice husky with a mixture of surprise and something

darker.

Olivia’s emerald eyes flashed with cold fury as she stared me down.

“What are you pretending for?” she spat. “You used such despicable means to force me to come to you by threatening my mother’s treatment. If not for this, could it be just to have a platonic conversation with me?”

Her wolf bristled beneath the surface, her anger palpable in the air between us.

I swallowed hard, fighting to maintain my composure. The sight of her partially undressed was testing my control in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

“Put your clothes back on,” I ordered, my voice rougher than intended. “That’s not why I brought you here.”

Olivia laughed, a harsh sound devoid of humor. “Isn’t it? You’ve made it clear what you want. Let’s just get it over with so my mother can have her surgery.”

Her words stung, but I couldn’t deny the truth in them. I had used underhanded tactics to bring her here, to get her away from Lucas Blackwood.

The thought of the rival Alpha touching my mate made my wolf snarl with possessive rage.

She was mine. She had always been mine.

“We’ll have.dinner first,” I said firmly, turning away to give her privacy. “Then we’ll talk.”

“Do you think I have an appetite looking at you?” she retorted, her wolf’s disgust evident in her

tone.

I turned back to face her, allowing my Alpha authority to surface. “I want you to eat. Do you

have a choice?”

My amber eyes flashed with power, reminding her of her powerlessness in this situation. It

wasn’t how I wanted things between us, but I was desperate to keep her here, away from

Lucas Blackwood.

Olivia’s jaw tightened, but she snatched her blouse from the floor and roughly pulled it back on. Her fingers trembled slightly as she fastened the buttons, her wolf clearly agitated

beneath her skin.

“Fine,” she said coldly. “Let’s have your dinner.”

In the dining room, she deliberately chose the seat farthest from mine at the long table. Her wolf remained alert, wary of my every move as I took my place beside her instead.

The venison stew steamed in its serving dish, filling the air with a rich aroma. I reached for a

piece of meat and began to peel it carefully, placing it in her bowl.

Without hesitation, Olivia picked it up and threw it in the trash.

Undeterred, I prepared another piece and held it to her lips. “Eat.‘”

She turned her face away, her emerald eyes flashing with defiance.

“Eat,” I repeated, my voice carrying the subtle undertone of an Alpha command.

Forced to comply, she opened her mouth and swallowed the meat whole. Immediately, she

began to choke, her face reddening as she gasped for air.

Panic seized me. I patted her back frantically, my wolf anxious at my mate’s distress.

“Olivia! Are you alright?”

She pushed me away violently and rushed to the bathroom. The sounds of her coughing and

retching echoed through the apartment, each one like a knife to my gut.

I followed her, grabbing a warm towel and a glass of water. My wolf whined anxiously,

desperate to comfort its mate despite our estrangement.

“Liv,” I said softly, offering the water. “Does it have to be like this? Can’t we just get along?”

Her response was to spit the water directly in my face, her emerald eyes blazing with

contempt.

I sighed, wiping my face with the towel. This wasn’t going as I’d hoped.

“Come back to the table,” I said, trying a different approach. “I’ve asked the chef to prepare

some moonberry tea and a lighter venison stew. You need to eat something.”
