Dr. Fletcher appeared as if summoned, his timing suspiciously perfect. "Perhaps you should use Alpha Stone's comfortable vehicle as transportation," he suggested diplomatically.
He gently ushered Evelyn toward my car before she could protest. I realized Dr. Fletcher was responsible for the flat tire, but Olivia wouldn't apologize for suspecting me.
If it were only herself, Olivia wouldn't have gotten into my car. But Dr. Fletcher's words made sense for her mother's condition.
She knew Evelyn needed rest and protection from the cold wind. Her health was more important than avoiding my presence.
Lucas agreed, prioritizing Evelyn's wellbeing over being in the same car as someone they disliked. Evelyn sat in the back seat, and Olivia and Lucas followed.
Dr. Fletcher signaled me with a subtle nod. "Call Maxwell yourself," I told him quietly.
"Thank you, Alpha Stone," he replied, clearly delighted with the arrangement.
I felt it was worth every penny. Millions in moonlight herbs in exchange for a ride together was a bargain to me. My wolf was pleased to have my mate's scent filling my car again.
"Olivia, didn't you call Lucas?" Evelyn asked after settling into the comfortable leather seat.
She deliberately treated me as nothing more than a driver, and the three of them ignored my presence completely.
"I was afraid he was busy," Olivia replied softly.
"Olivia, Lucas is your boyfriend. You need to get used to troubling him," Evelyn continued, her words like silver daggers to my heart.
"It's best not to trouble people with ordinary relationships. But in close relationships, if you don't bother Lucas with anything, he'll think you don't care about him."
Driving the car, I heard Evelyn acknowledge Lucas as Olivia's boyfriend. My wolf growled with jealousy beneath my skin, the sound barely contained.
The car smoothly arrived at Maple Grove Cottage. I saw Lucas waiting by the building, his presence a stark reminder of my failures.

Please break Olivia 's mate bond to that evil man. She deserves respite from the abuse she and Lily endured....
I’m reading this and think: BITCH JUST BREAK YOUR MATE BOND AND SAY I’M NOT YOUR MATE ANYMORE!...
I swear to you if Olivia goes back to Ethan and not ends up with Lukas, I’ll drop this book....

I can’t wait until Victoria finally gets caught up....
The story would be better if it didn’t drag on. Olivia’s character eh , sounds like a broken record...
