Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 339

(Olivia's POV)

The parking lot outside Rosewood Haven became a battlefield. Ethan's grip on my wrist was like an iron shackle, his Alpha strength making it impossible for me to break free.

I fought against his hold with every ounce of strength I possessed. My wolf snarled beneath my skin, her emerald eyes flashing with fury as revulsion toward him flooded my system.

"Let go of me, Ethan Stone!" I shouted, my voice raw with rage. "Who do you think you are, to make decisions for me?"

My anger was uncontained, my voice shaking as I struggled, but the Alpha refused to release me. His amber eyes were determined, his jaw set in that stubborn way I'd come to despise.

James rushed to my defense despite his weakened state. His russet-brown wolf rose protectively as he clamped his good hand onto Ethan's wrist, trying to pull the Alpha away from me.

"Let her go, Stone!" James growled, his hazel eyes flashing with protective rage.

But even our combined efforts were futile against Ethan's superior strength. The Alpha King barely seemed to notice James's attempt to free me.

James's face contorted with pain and frustration. I could see the regret in his eyes—regret for ever calling Ethan to this place, thinking he would finally see Victoria's true nature.

When words failed, James resorted to throwing a punch with his uninjured hand. The blow was aimed at Ethan's jaw, but the Alpha twisted away with supernatural speed.

In one fluid motion, Ethan pinned me against his Midnight Maybach, using my body as a shield while maintaining his iron grip on my wrist.

"Stop fighting me, Liv," he commanded, his voice low and strained. "I don't want to hurt you."

James stumbled backward, nearly collapsing from the exertion. His recent injuries had left him weaker than usual, his breathing labored as he prepared for another attempt.

Before he could move, Victoria's security guards appeared from nowhere. They seized James, pinning him roughly against the hood of the car.

"No!" I screamed, watching helplessly as they restrained my friend. "Let him go!"

James struggled against their hold, his wolf thrashing beneath his skin, but he was outnumbered and weakened from his injuries.
