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 tried to kick him where it would hurt the most, but he anticipated my move, trapping my leg between his.
I found myself pinned between him and the sink, his strong arms like bars around me. His Alpha scent overwhelmed my senses, making my wolf stir despite my hatred.

“Olivia, I’ve been tricked! I’m so uncomfortable, I need you. Please,” he begged, his voice thick with desire but still seeking my
consent.
“Olivia,” he whispered against my neck, his hot breath scorching my skin.
I realized he was under the influence of a drug, likely Victoria’s doing. Memories of our first night together flooded back–the night he’d been drugged and mistaken me for Victoria.
I forced down my anger, trying to think clearly.
“Ethan, calm down. I’ll take you to the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den,” I said, attempting to create distance between us.
“Olivia, I don’t want to go to the medical den. I just want you,” he replied, closing the gap I’d created.
His words enraged me. I took a deep breath, fighting to control my temper.
“Ethan, you claim to love me. How can you force me? Let me go, and I’ll get my phone and call for help.”
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?”
