The pack gathering concluded, and on the drive back to Winters Family Estate, Richard Winters nced at his daughter through the rearview mirror. The luxury sedan’s interior was filled withfortable silence until
he broke it with his hopeful inquiry.
“Olivia, how was your discussion with Young Alpha Davis?”
His tone carried the unmistakable hope of a father who believed he had orchestrated a promising
introduction. Richard’s hands gripped the steering wheel with anticipation, waiting for positive developments
in what he clearly viewed as a potential mating alliance.
Olivia stared out the window at the passing streetlights, her reflection showing obvious disinterest. <i>She </i>had
expected this conversation the moment her father had introduced her to Tyler.
“We exchanged contact information for business purposes,” she replied curtly.
Her voice carried none of the enthusiasm Richard was hoping to hear. The perfunctory response was
designed to end the conversation quickly.
Richard’s face brightened despite herckluster tone. Even this minimal interaction seemed to please him
immensely.
“Excellent! The Davis pack would be an excellent alliance for the Winters family,” he said eagerly. “I encourage you to develop that connection further.”
“Young Alpha Davis seems like a respectable werewolf, but I believe mate bonds should develop naturally,” Olivia said firmly. “They shouldn’t be forced through arranged meetings.”
Richard’s enthusiasm didn’t waver. “Feelings can be cultivated through proper werewolf courtship traditions, Olivia. Many sessful matings have begun with family introductions.”
Olivia’s amber <i>eyes </i>shed with irritation. Her voice took on a slightly stern tone that reminded Richard of her
“Father, I’m focused <i>on </i>establishing myw practice and serving the packmunity. That’s where my
priorities lie right <i>now</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
The finality in her voice made Richard realize he was pushing too hard. He had seen that same determined expression on Sarah’s face countless times during their mating years.
Sensing his daughter’s displeasure with his continued matchmaking efforts, Richard sighed heavily. The sound filled the car with resignation.
“Very well. I understand your position.”
He dropped the subject of Tyler/Davis, recognizing that further pressure would only drive Olivia further away from his suggestions.
Back at Winters Family Estate, Olivia stepped out of the car with cold efficiency. Her heels clicked against the marble steps as she headed toward the grand entrance.

Natalie Winters appeared in the doorway, her gentle smile weing them home. She wore an elegant evening dress that befitted her status as Luna of the pack.
“Good evening, Natalie,” Olivia said with a brief nod.
Her acknowledgment was polite but distant, carrying none of the warmth a daughter might show her stepmother. Without another word, Olivia disappeared upstairs to her <i>room</i>.

Natalie watched her stepdaughter’s retreating figure with concern. She turned to Richard as he entered the
foyer.
“Why does Olivia seem so unhappy despite the sessful pack gathering?”
Richard loosened his tie with a frustrated gesture. “She wasn’t pleased with my introduction to <i>Young </i>Alpha
Davis.”
Natalie’s expression became understanding but slightly reproachful. “Richard, you brought up potential mating arrangements again after she’s previously shown disapproval of such discussions.”
“The Davis pack represents a suitable alliance,” Richard defended. “I’m looking out for Olivia’s best interests
as both her father and Alpha.”
Natalie ced a gentle hand on his arm. “You need to respect Olivia’s wishes and support her legal career
instead.”
Her voice carried the wisdom of a Luna who understood pack dynamics. “She’s talented and will eventually
find a suitable mate when the time is right.”
Richard’s shoulders sagged as he considered his wife’s words. Perhaps his eagerness to secure Olivia’s
future was causing more harm than good.
“You’re right,” he conceded. “I promise to avoid the matchmaking topic in the future and allow Olivia to follow <i>her </i>own path regarding romantic rtionships.”
Two dayster, Olivia’s phone buzzed with an iing call from the elite fashion boutique. She had ordered an Exclusive Luna Collection Handbag as a birthday gift for Sophie Parker from the prestigious fashion
house.
As a ck diamond VIP member and with Silverridge Holdings being a major shareholder of the luxury brand,
she didn’t need to fulfill the usual $500,000 purchase requirement to ess their most exclusive items.
“Ms. Winters, your special order has arrived,” the boutique sales associate informed her professionally.
“Would you prefer delivery <i>to </i>your penthouse or will you collect it personally?”
Olivia checked her schedule. Reba Frost was nning to meet her for shoppingter that afternoon.
“I’ll pick it up myself. I have other shopping to do in the district.”
Before Reba arrived, Olivia decided to retrieve the designer handbag and handle her other errands. She drove through Harbor City’s elite shopping district, where luxury boutiques lined the pristine streets.
A particr window disy caught her attention as she walked past a high–end boutique. An Ocean Breeze Halter Dress in flowing light blue chiffon was elegantly disyed on a mannequin.
