Alexander turned to look at his secretary. She was staring

intensely with such a passionate look on her face. The golden

hues of the fading sunlight graced her profile,plementing

her features.

“Olivia,” he murmured softly.

Olivia’s body jerked, she opened her lips to answer, but then she

remembered the legend from earlier and recognized that

Alexander was ying a game with her. She tightened her lips,

remaining perfectly still as she kept her gaze fixed on the setting

sun.

No matter how many times Alexander called her name, in the

varying tones and voices, she didn’t waver. Olivia was determined to win this game and show Alexander that he

couldn’t wear her down.

Minutes passed and she still hadn’t budged. The Alpha too

intended to win so much so that he started shifting closer on the

bench when she didn’t respond.

And then, Olivia felt his hands on her face. He cupped her

cheeks gently and turned her head so she was looking at him. When she finally came face to face with him and saw the look

in his eyes, she let out a low breath.

What Olivia had failed to realize was that Alexander’s mind had

long since drifted away from the tale he’d told her. While she was truly just ying a game, the Alpha’s thoughts had been

consumed by… her. He was attracted to her.

Alexander couldn’t help himself. As he gazed longingly at her,

he found his eyes dropping to her lips. He licked his and then

began to lean in ever so slightly.

Olivia’s heart almost beat out of her chest. She squeezed her

eyes shut. What in God’s name was happening. But her wolf

was having a field day. Yve howled in excitement, trying to

propel Olivia to the Alpha.

Just when Olivia expected his lips to make contact with hers, they changed direction at thest second and brushed her face

instead.

Then, in a voice barely above a whisper, he said: “I could devour

you.”

Unable to resist any longer, Olivia opened her eyes and found

herself staring directly into Alexander’s eyes, so close that any

movement would bring their lips together. She considered

herself trapped.

Time seemed to slow as Alexander began to lean in again, lips

mere inches from hers..

And then, he straightened abruptly, and pulled back from her,

looking sorely disappointed. “Well, I suppose it’s harder to fool

you than I thought.”

Olivia’s heart practically dropped to her stomach. So, he was just

ying a game after all? It appeared he yed dirty, and was

one of those people that would do almost anything to win.

Alexander checked his watch coolly. “We should go. Ben will be

expecting us.”

There was nothing else Olivia could say. She decided to spare

herself any further embarrassment and followed Alexander

through the now–dark path toward Ben’s private vi. She

walked slightly behind himb, /bstill processing what had just

happened.

They arrived at Ben’s vi soon after. And before they could

even approach the front door, it swung open to reveal the

youngdy who’d been present at the luncheon with Ben.

“Mr. Green, Ms. Olivia. I’m Pris, Mr. Wilde’s secretary. He’s

been expecting you!”

Pris led them into the vi’s main hall. But almost as soon as

they stepped in, Olivia was quickly assaulted by the strong

scents clouding the air. It reeked of heavy alcohol, expensive

cigarettes, and an array of perfumes. It seemed that all–night party had never reallye to an end, judging by the overwhelming noise that traveled down the hall.

They walked into the living room, to find Ben surrounded by women. Olivia tried to count, but there were too many. The moment he noticed them, he pped loudly and walked over.

“Alexander! I was beginning to think you’d changed your mind abouting tonight.” He moved to p Alexander on the shoulder, but the Alpha smoothly ducked away from the

unwanted contact.

Ben’s hand fell to his sides, but he quickly covered it with a

But Alexander didn’t smile. “I heard you were too sick to get out

of bed. You should really take better care of yourself, Ben.”

Ben couldn’t cover it up anymore. He was thoroughly

embarrassed and the red patch on his cheeks was a clear

indication of how humiliated he felt.

By some miracle, he managed to recover quickly. He turned his

attention to Olivia with a smile. “And what do you say, friend?

Is the Alpha allowed to have a drink tonight, or are you still

watching over him?”

Olivia fixed a professional smile on her face. “That’s entirely up

to Alpha Alexander to decide.”

The response seemed to satisfy Ben, who nodded approvingly.

“Excellent! Well then, let me introduce you both to some friends

of mine.” He gestured grandly toward the crowded room.

“There are some fascinating people here tonight.”

All heads turned to Alexander, gazing at him reverently. But

then Olivia became acutely aware of something very

significant.

The room was filled with mostly women. And not just ordinary

women. Ben had gone out of his way to gather an array of

beautiful women and had then presented before Alexander.
