Chapter 203: Desperate Measures 

(Victoria’s POV) 

I watched Ethan struggle against the drug, a smile playing on my lips. Seven years ago, Su Tingwan had managed to capture Ethan’s heart despite all the misunderstandings and my 

interference. She’d earned the Alpha’s love and devotion, even for that little mutt Lily. 

If she could do it, why couldn’t I? 

I was certainly no less capable than Su Tingwan. I was more beautiful, more cunning, and I 

understood Ethan far better than she ever did. Tonight would prove it. 

I backed away from Ethan, feigning innocence as his amber eyes burned with accusation. 

“I won’t touch you,” I promised, raising my hands in surrender. “Emmy had no idea about the 

Savage Moon Elixir in the water. She’s innocent.” 

His expression remained cold, unmoved by my words. I needed to try harder. 

“Ethan, I did it because I love you so much,” I said softly, my voice breaking with emotion. “I’ve wanted you for so long. Can’t you understand? I had no choice.” 

I 

I wheeled closer, my eyes pleading. “Just one night, Ethan. That’s all I ask.” 

(Ethan’s POV) 

I ignored Victoria’s pathetic pleas, focusing solely on escaping this trap. The drug was spreading through my system rapidly, heating my blood and clouding my judgment. 

Seven years ago, I’d lost control under the influence of drugs. That mistake had given me Lily, 

but it had also caused years of misunderstanding between Olivia and me. I wouldn’t repeat 

that error. 

If I touched Victoria tonight, I would lose any chance of reconciling with Olivia forever. The 

thought hardened my resolve. 

I turned abruptly, heading for the door. My steps were unsteady, but my determination was 

unwavering. 

Victoria didn’t try to stop me. Instead, she called to Emma. 

“Emmy, go upstairs to bed now.”

Emma hesitated, her eyes wide with worry. “But Mommy, what about Daddy? Is he mad at me 

for giving him that water?” 

“Go upstairs, Emmy. Now,” Victoria ordered, her voice leaving no room for argument. 

Emma reluctantly obeyed, climbing the stairs slowly. From the top, she watched me struggle 

with the front door. 

My fingers fumbled with the lock, but it wouldn’t budge. Rage surged through me as I realized 

Victoria had locked me in. 

Victoria appeared behind me in her wheelchair, her eyes gleaming with possession. 

“Ethan,” she purred, her voice low and seductive. “Haven’t you ever wanted me? Even a little?” 

She wheeled closer, her scent making my stomach turn. 

“I can satisfy you in ways she never could,” she whispered. “I have… experience in these 

matters.” 

Her eyes glazed over as she seemed to recall something. “Connor taught me so much. It’s 

been so long since I’ve been with anyone… not since our fallout.” 

The drug pulsed through my veins, but it wasn’t Victoria I wanted. My body burned for Olivia, 

only Olivia. 

I punched the door in desperation, the pain in my hand momentarily clearing my mind. Blood dripped from my knuckles, but the clarity was worth it. 

With a swift kick, I sent Victoria’s wheelchair flying away from the door. She screamed as she 

crashed into a side table, the wheelchair toppling over. 

I didn’t look back. I broke the window beside the door with my elbow and climbed through, 

ignoring the glass cutting into my skin. 

Victoria’s voice followed me into the night. “Ethan! Don’t leave me like this!” 

As I staggered to my car, I heard her gasp of shock. “I can… I can feel my legs!” 

I didn’t care. I had to get away. 

I drove recklessly, constantly squeezing my injured hand to stay alert. The pain kept the worst of the drug’s effects at bay, but I knew I couldn’t fight it forever. 

I should go to the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den. They could give me something to counteract 

the Savage Moon Elixir.

But that wasn’t where I headed. My car turned toward Maple Grove, toward Olivia’s cottage. 

As the drug took stronger hold, my mind filled with images of Olivia. Her emerald eyes, her 

soft skin, the way she used to whisper my name. 

My rational mind faded, replaced by primal instinct. I needed Olivia. I wanted to have another 

pup with my true mate. 

If Olivia carried my child, she would be mine again: Lucas Blackwood would never touch her. 

I gripped the steering wheel tighter, my knuckles white. I couldn’t lose Olivia. Not to him. Not 

to anyone. 

The drug whispered that I should take advantage of this situation. Force myself on her if 

necessary. Once we reconnected, her love for me would return. I was sure of it. 

I parked haphazardly outside her cottage, stumbling to her door. My eyes were bloodshot, my 

breathing ragged. 

The password lock glowed in the darkness. I didn’t knock. Instead, I punched in Lily’s birthday. 

The lock clicked open. 

She still used Lily’s birthday. She still remembered. She still cared. 

The unlocked door confirmed my resolve: I must have Olivia. Our Lily may yet return. 

(Olivia’s POV) 

I had just finished showering when I heard a noise at the front door. Wrapping a towel around 

myself, I grabbed the silver dagger I kept for protection. 

My heart nearly stopped when I saw Ethan standing in my bathroom doorway. Before I could 

react, he pulled me into his arms, his mouth descending toward mine. 

I leaned back quickly, avoiding his lips. His kiss landed on my ear instead, his hot breath 

burning my skin. 

“Olivia,” he whispered, his voice deep and hoarse with need. “Olivia, Olivia…” 

The raw emotion in his voice was impossible to ignore. But I wouldn’t be swayed. 

“Ethan Stone, what are you doing? Let me go!” I shouted, struggling against his iron grip. 

Something was wrong with him. His eyes were dilated, his skin feverish. I remembered this look from seven years ago, when we first met. 

I didn’t want to be with him again. Not after everything he’d done.

I tried to kick him where it would hurt the most, but he anticipated my move, trapping my leg 

between his. 

I found myself pinned between him and the sink, his strong arms like bars around me. His 

Alpha scent overwhelmed my senses, making my wolf stir despite my hatred. 

“Olivia, I’ve been tricked! I’m so uncomfortable, I need you. Please,” he begged, his voice thick 

with desire but still seeking my consent. 

“Olivia,” he whispered against my neck, his hot breath scorching my skin. 

I realized he was under the influence of a drug, likely Victoria’s doing. Memories of our first 

night together flooded back–the night he’d been drugged and mistaken me for Victoria. 

I forced down my anger, trying to think clearly. 

“Ethan, calm down. I’ll take you to the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den,” I said, attempting to 

create distance between us. 

“Olivia, I don’t want to go to the medical den. I just want you,” he replied, closing the gap I’d 

created. 

His words enraged me. I took a deep breath, fighting to control my temper. 

“Ethan, you claim to love me. How can you force me? Let me go, and I’ll get my phone and call 

for help.” 

hoped to coax him into releasing me so I could escape. 

“Olivia, I don’t want to go to the medical den,” he repeated, his breathing becoming more 

labored. 

The hand around my waist tightened painfully. 

“Ethan, don’t! Stop!” My voice rose in panic. 

His eyes were completely bloodshot now. As he looked at me, I could see he was no longer in 

control. 

A shiver ran through me as he lowered his head to kiss me. 

“Ethan, if you force me, I will hate you forever!” I cried out desperately. 

He froze, his dark eyes searching mine. His lips moved against mine as he spoke. 

“If I don’t touch you, will you forgive me and give me another chance?” 

I could hear the hope in his voice. This was what he wanted most–my forgiveness.

“Impossible!” I spat. “Ethan, I will never forgive you in this lifetime!” 

His eyes darkened with hurt. He couldn’t believe that I, who once loved him so deeply, now had 

no place for him in my heart. 

He closed his eyes, overwhelmed by emotion. When he opened them again, I saw 

determination replace the hurt. 

He refused to believe my love was truly gone. He would win me back, no matter what. 

He hugged me tightly, his large hands pinching my waist. His tall body leaned over mine, no longer giving me a chance to refuse. 

He lowered his head and kissed me. 

My eyes widened in shock. I watched helplessly as his face grew closer, and I screamed. 

“Ethan, how dare you!” 

As his lips claimed mine, I tried to turn my head, but he anticipated my move. His hands 

clasped the back of my head, trapping me. 

I couldn’t escape. My body resisted, but he was too strong. 

I felt like a knife was piercing my heart. He trembled but didn’t let go. 

“Olivia, let’s have another pup,” he murmured against my lips. “Lily is so lonely, she will definitely come back.” 

He couldn’t control himself. Even as I resisted, he followed his instincts. 

He remembered my body perfectly. He lifted me easily, carrying me into the bedroom and 

pressing me onto the bed. 

“Ethan, if you touch me today, I will kill you!” I threatened, trapped in his arms. 

He had tied my hands behind my back with his belt. I couldn’t resist. My legs were pinned 

beneath his. 

I cursed and fought with all my strength, but eventually, he succeeded in removing my towel. I panicked as his hands explored my body. 

When he clasped my waist and pulled me closer, I cried out in desperation. 

“Ethan, don’t!” 

His eyes were bloodshot, but when he saw my tears, clarity seemed to return. He stopped suddenly, his body going rigid.

I could see the battle raging within him. One voice telling him that having me again would 

create a new bond between us. Another voice asking how he could force himself on me. 

I was his Little Orange, the girl he had sworn to protect. 

Sweat beaded on his forehead as he looked down at me. My mind had gone blank. I felt 

nothing but cold emptiness. 

Then, a gentle kiss landed on my tear–soaked eyes: It was full of emotion, making me feel cherished despite everything. 

I opened my eyes and met his deep, cold gaze. 

“Olivia, I was wrong. I won’t force you. Don’t cry,” he said, his voice full of pain. 

With what seemed like his last bit of strength, he released me. He got out of bed and rushed 

into the bathroom. 

“Bang!” The door closed, and I heard water running. 

I lay motionless on the bed. It took me a moment to realize he had truly let me go. 

Hearing the water, I knew he was taking a cold shower, but I feared he would return. Even though my legs were weak, I forced myself out of bed. 

As my feet touched the ground, I staggered and fell forward. My knees hit the makeup stool, 

and pain shot through me. 

Ignoring my injuries, I stumbled toward the closet. I couldn’t leave like this–I needed clothes. 

With trembling hands, I opened the closet and grabbed whatever I could find, listening intently 

to the sounds from the bathroom. 

I was tense, like a frightened bird. Finally dressed, I grabbed my phone and ran toward the 

door. 

Just as I reached the bathroom door, I heard a click. Ethan opened the door. 

We looked at each other. I met his bloodshot eyes, still full of lust. My face drained of color.
