Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 87

My phone felt heavy in my hand as Matriarch Evelyn’s voice continued through the speaker.

“Alpha Blackwood is waiting for you downstairs, dear,” she said, her tone warm but leaving no room for argument. “A fine young Alpha from a respected bloodline. Tve arranged everything”

I closed my eyes, fighting the wave of frustration that threatened to overwhelm me “Grandmother, I appreciate your concern, but I’m not interested in dating right now”

“Nonsense,” she replied briskly. “You need protection, Olivia. Someone to stand against Ethan and that woman. Alpha Blackwood comes from a powerful family with connections throughout the Northern

Territories”

Her voice softened. “Give him a chance. For me.”

I sighed, knowing resistance was futile. The Matriarch rarely took no for an answer, especially when she believed she was acting in someone’s best interest.

“Fine,” I conceded reluctantly. “One dinner.”

“Excellent!” Her satisfaction was palpable even through the phone. “He’s waiting in the black Rolls–Royce Ghost at the main entrance. Don’t keep him waiting.”

But my attention was immediately captured by another vehicle–Ethan’s distinctive black Rolls–Royce parked prominently near the entrance. My steps faltered as I recognized it.

Why was he here? Had he come to continue our argument from this morning?

As I watched, Victoria Frost emerged from the building, her perfect makeup and designer clothes a stark contrast to my more modest appearance. Without hesitation, she walked directly to Ethan’s car and slipped

inside.

Even from this distance, I could see her lean across the seat and press her lips against Ethan’s in a lingering kiss. The sight sent a sharp pain through my chest despite everything that had happened between us

Several of my colleagues who were leaving for the day noticed the scene, their whispered comments carrying clearly in the quiet lobby.

“They don’t even try to hide it anymore.”
