Chapter 35: Jealousy’s Madness

(Ethan’s POV)

“Alpha Grey, return to the hotel?” Raymond Brooks asked, his eyes meeting mine in

the rearview mirror.

I considered for a moment, my mind racing with possibilities. “Stop at the Lunar

Jewelers entrance ahead.”

Cassandra immediately perked up beside me, her green–gold eyes lighting with excitement. She leaned closer, her perfume invading my space.

“Ethan, are you picking a gift for Alpha Winters‘ cousin? I’ll go with you,” she offered warmly. “We’re the same age so I know what young women like.”

The car pulled smoothly to the curb outside the gleaming storefront of Lunar Jewelers. Instead of responding to her suggestion, I turned to her, my voice devoid of

emotion.

“Get out.”

Cassandra blinked in confusion but obediently stepped out of the vehicle. She stood

on the sidewalk, a practiced smile fixed on her face as she waited for me to join her.

I didn’t move. Instead, I nodded to Raymond who promptly closed the door and

elerated away, leaving Cassandra standing alone, ber smile frozen and her eyes

widening with shock as we disappeared into traffic.

The image of her stunned face in the side mirror gave me a moment’s satisfaction. It

wasn’t enough to ease the constant ache in my chest, but it was something.

Parker Davis shifted ufortably beside me. He’d witnessed the entire cold fn7281 Content originallyes from /fn7281

exchange.

“Sir, that was rather…” he began cautiously.

“You can get out at the next corner,” I cut him off.

Parker fell silent, knowing better than to argue. When Raymond stopped bat /bthe next

light, Parker gathered his things and stepped out with an awkward nod.

“Miss Evans, Alpha Grey must have his own ns,” I heard him say to Cassandra as

he approached her on the sidewalk. “Well, I’ll get off work now, bye.”

My phone began vibrating incessantly. Cassandra’s name shed on the screen again

and again. I silenced it without answering, rubbing my throbbing temples.

The pain from Connor’s beating had mostly subsided, but a different kind of agony

had taken its ce. One that no amount of moonlight herb or healing could touch.

After several minutes of silent torment, I spoke again. “Go to Riverdale Terrace

Apartments, across from Riverdale University.”

Raymond’s eyes flickered with recognition in the mirror. “Yes, sir.”

That was where Olivia lived. I needed to see her, to make her understand. To make

her mine again.

The drive seemed endless. When we finally arrived, I scanned the entrance anxiously.

My heart nearly stopped when I spotted them.

Olivia was walking toward thepound gates, her honey–brown hair catching the

evening light. And right behind her, following like a possessive shadow, was Connor

Rivers.

Jealousy surged through me like wildfire. My wolf, Noah, snarled inside me, demanding action.

I leapt from the car before it fully stopped, ignoring Raymond’s startled protest. I

rushed toward the entrance, determined to intercept them before they disappeared

inside.

But a uniformed security guard stepped into my path, blocking the gate. “Sir, please

scan your ID.”

“I just moved in,” I lied impatiently, trying to see past him to where Olivia and Connor had gone. “Haven’t registered yet. Let me in and I’ll do it tomorrow.”

The guard remained unmoved. “Then please show your ID and tell me your building and apartment number so I can verify.”

My patience snapped. I could feel my control bslipping/b, my wolf pushing against my

skin, demanding release.

“Move,” I growled, taking a threatening step forward.

The guard stood his ground, reaching for his radio. “Sir, I can’t let you in without proper identification.”

I tried to push past him, but he firmly grabbed my arm. “If iyou /ikeep this up, I’ll call

security!”

Something broke inside me. All I could see was Olivia and Connor together in her

apartment. Their bodies tangled together. His hands on her skin. His lips on hers.

My vision blurred with rage. Three years I had dated her. Three years, and I had never

trulymitted. Now another man was iming what I had foolishly taken for

granted.

“Let me in!” I roared, my eyes reddening with fury.

When the guard didn’t move, I snapped. My fist connected with his face before I

could stop myself. He staggered back, blood trickling from his nose.

rms red. More security personnel appeared, surrounding me. I fought like a man possessed, but there were too many. Despite my Alpha strength, they overwhelmed me, pinning me to the ground.

Thest thing I saw before they dragged me away was the lights of Olivia’s building, knowing she was inside with him.

(Olivia’s POV)

I leaned against the kitchen doorway, arms crossed, watching Connor move confidently around my small kitchen. He wore an apron over his expensive clothes, lookingpletely at ease as he chopped vegetables.
