Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

Monday morning arrived with a gentle drizzle, washing away the weekend's tension. My first day at Canis Enterprises loomed ahead, both exciting and daunting.

I'd chosen to take public transportation to avoid morning traffic. The bus stopped near the imposing glass tower that housed the prestigious healing crystal company.

As I stepped off the bus, a familiar voice called out.

"Mrs. Winters? Is that you?"

I turned to see Sophia Hughes, the third-place winner from the Pack Healer's

Crystal Competition. Her friendly smile was a welcome sight.

"Good morning, Sophia. Please, call me Olivia."noveldrama

She fell into step beside me. "First day jitters? I barely slept last night."

I nodded, appreciating her candor. "Same here. But we earned our places."

We chatted easily as we entered the building's marble lobby. The elevator bank stood ahead, already crowded with morning commuters.

"I can't believe we'll be working with Alexander Thornton, Sophia whispered, her eyes wide with admiration. "His crystal designs revolutionized werewolf healing practices."

Before I could respond, the distinctive clip of high heels against marble caught my attention. Victoria Frost approached, looking immaculate in a designer suit that probably cost more than most wolves earned in a

month.

Her eyes narrowed slightly when she spotted me, but her face quickly rearranged into a pleasant mask. She pulled out her phone and began speaking loudly.

"Ethan, I'm already at the elevator..." Her voice carried deliberately across the lobby. "Don't worry.... around, I won't be wronged... Drive safely."

She hung up, her face beaming with feigned affection. Her eyes met mine, a provocative glance that spoke

volumes.

Message received. Ethan had driven her to work. They were close. I was not.

The elevator arrived with a soft chime, and we stepped inside.

Sophia seemed starstruck, edging closer to Victoria. "Did Alpha King Stone drive you to work today?" she asked, her voice tinged with awe.

Victoria gave a coy smile. "He insisted. He's always so protective."
