Chapter 218: Moonlight Carnival Grounds
<b>(</b>Olivia’s POV)
O
Reba and I were chatting and joking happily when a knock interrupted our conversation. Adrian Sinir stepped into my office, his gentle demeanor enhanced by his gold–rimmed sses.
“Olivia, are you free tonight?” he asked, his voice carrying that familiar warmth that had always made me <b>feel </bfortable around him.
I looked up from my desk, curious about his sudden visit. “What’s the asion, Adrian?”
“Sophie Turner missed you and wanted to have dinner together,” he exined, adjusting his sses slightly. “She specifically asked me to invite you.”
I paused, feeling a familiar weight settle in my chest. Adrian’s growing affection for me had be increasingly obvious over the past few weeks, especially after his help with Grace Winters‘ k<b>********</b>g case.
His kindness during that terrifying ordeal had meant everything to me. But now I could see he was using Sophie as an excuse to spend time with me, blurring the lines of our professional friendship.
The memory of Connor Rivers‘forting embrace shed through my mind. The mate bond between us had been strengthening, and I could feel my wolf’s contentment whenever he was near.
I made my decision quickly. “I’m busy tonight, please apologize to Sophie for me.”
Adrian’s expression shifted, surprise flickering across his features. The silence stretched between us for a long moment before he simply replied, “Okay.”
After Adrian left, Reba‘ looked at me with a knowing smirk. “Did you just turn Adrian down for Connor’s
sake?”
I didn’t deny it. The truth was written all over my face.
Reba sighed, her expression growing conflicted. I could see her internal struggle – her feelings for Connor warring with her gratitude toward me for handling her legal case.
“I should go,” she said finally, gathering her things.
looked at her meaningfully. “Drive safe, Becky.”
That night, I settled into my apartment for a video call with my best friends. Lily’s face appeared on my
screen alongside Reba’s, but something was off.
Lily was uncharacteristically quiet during our usual pack sisters‘ conversation. Her normally <b>bright </b><b>demeanor </b>
seemed dimmed.
“Lily, you’re awfully quiet tonight,” Reba observed, echoing my own thoughts.
Lily shifted ufortably on camera. “There’s something I need to tell you both.”
<b>“</b><b>What </b>happened?” I asked, leaning closer to my screen.
“It’s about Vera Jones,” Lily said, her voice tight with emotion. “Do you guys <b>know </b><b>her</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>

<b>Reba </b><b>nodded </b><b>immediately</b><b>. </b>“<b>Vera </b>Jones<b>, </b>from the Jones <b>family pack</b>. <b>I </b>even <b>ran </b><b>into </b><b>her </b><b>a </b><b>few </b>days ago <b>while </b><b>shopping</b>. What happened <b>to </b>her<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Lily dropped her bombshell. “She likes Ethan Quinn.”
<b>Both </b>Reba and I stared at the screen in shock. Ethan Quinn was Connor’s close friend<b>, </b><b>and </b><b>this </b>revtion sent ripples through our tight–knit social circle.
“What?” Reba gasped.
“ording to what she said, she’s been harboring feelings for Ethan for more than a year,” Lily <b>continued</b><b>, </b><b>her </b>voice growing bitter. “She was dating others just to make Ethan jealous.”
My heart sank for my friend. “Lily, what exactly happened?”
“She even wanted to bribe me with a designer bag to get closer to Ethan,” Lily sneered, her hurt evident. <b>“</b><b>Can </b>you believe that? She thought she could buy my cooperation.”
Reba immediately jumped intofort mode. “Lily, you know Ethan’s genuine feelings are for <b>you</b><b>. </b><b>You </b>need to talk to him about this.”
I supported Reba’s view wholeheartedly. “Ethan is different from Gabriel Andrews, and you are not <b>the </b>same as Gabriel’s casual dates. Ethan has only been serious about you, right?”
I leaned forward, emphasizing my point. “At least in my opinion, Ethan is not a fickle yboy. Moreover<b>, </b><b>you </b>are from the same elite pack circles as us. You are not an ordinary werewolf without family background. How can youpare like this?”
Lily’s shoulders sagged. “I know you’re both right, but I’m still upset. Ethan and I have been in a cold war for almost a day now.”
Reba’s eyes lit up with an idea. “I have a solution. Let’s create an

opportunity for you two to talk.”
“The newly opened Moonlight Carnival Grounds,” Reba announced triumphantly. “We’ll all go together. It’ll be casual, fun, and give you a chance to break the ice with Ethan.”
Lily considered this for a moment before nodding. “That actually sounds perfect.”
Before I could respond, Reba turned her attention to me. “Olivia, you shoulde and y too! You’ve been busy with work recently. You should take a break.”
The idea of a carefree day at an amusement park did sound appealing. “Alright, I’m in.”
The next day at the Moonlight Carnival Grounds, I was walking through the entrance when I noticed a familiar tall figure near the ticket booth. My steps slowed as I recognized Connor Rivers.
Surprise washed over me. What was he doing here?
Reba appeared at my side, grinning mischievously. “I invited him along. Hope you don’t mind.”
I turned to Connor, unable to hide my amusement. “I didn’t know you were interested in amusement <b>park </b>rides, Alpha Rivers.”
Connor’s eyes met mine, filled with warmth that made my wolf purr contentedly. “Not <b>interested</b><b>,” </b><b>he </b><b>said </b>simply.

His next words made my heart skip a beat. “I just heard that you areing, so I came”
