Chapter 163 : Hidden Bonds and Family Reconciliation - 1 Chapter 163 : Hidden Bonds and Family Reconciliation ( Olivia's POV ) Ethan Quinn sighed deeply , his shoulders sagging with the weight of reality . " Lily, they will know sooner or later . " Lily Chen's eyelashes trembled as she looked down at her hands . Her voice wasn't as lively as usual , carrying a hint of sadness that made my heart ache for her .

" Ethan , I'm afraid … or let's just forget it ." The words hung in the air like a death sentence . I could see the pain flickering across both their faces . Ethan's tone became firm , his beta wolf instincts flaring with determination . " It's impossible ." His voice carried absolute conviction as he reached for Lily's hands . " Lily , trust me , okay ? I will solve this ." Lily's expression crumbled , sadness mixing with a deep sense of loss . " How do you solve it ?

Do you want our families to sever their pack alliance to fulfill us ? " The weight of pack politics and family expectations pressed down on both of them like a physical force . I watched as Ethan frowned and fell into silence . His internal conflict between love and pack duty was written clearly across his features . The complexity of their situation seemed to grow heavier with each passing moment . I felt a headache building behind my temples from this complicated pack drama .

The romantic setup around us suddenly felt suffocating . " I will help you keep the secret , but this matter should be resolved as soon as possible , " I said helplessly , rubbing my forehead . " It's okay if I find out today , but if those who love gossip and chew their tongues see it , take a few sneak shots and sell them to the paparazzi , you two will be on the headlines tomorrow . " I turned to address Lily directly , my amber eyes serious with concern .

" It's better to confess proactively than to let them know from others ." The truth always had a way of surfacing , especially in werewolf society where secrets were currency and gossip traveled faster than wildfire . Lily remained silent , her gaze fixed on the rose petals scattered across the table . She was avoiding eye contact , and I could smell her fear and uncertainty about facing their families .

Ethan moved closer to embrace her , his protective werewolf instincts taking over completely . " Lily , with me here , don't be afraid . " He whispered the words against her hair , his voice carrying all the tenderness of a mate trying to comfort his beloved . I stood up from my chair , knowing this was my cue to leave them alone . " I should go . You two need to figure this out together .

" III O 1/2 < Chapter 163 Hidden Bond " Thank you for understanding , Olivia , Ethan said quietly , his gratitude genuine . I nodded and made my way out of the romantic suite , leaving them to navigate their complicated feelings in private . The elevator ride down felt longer than usual . My mind was already shifting to tomorrow's plans with Grace Winters . I walked through the restaurant's main lobby and out to the underground garage where my BMW sedan waited .

The familiar weight of my car keys felt comforting in my palm . As I drove through Harbor City's evening traffic toward the Winters Family Estate , my phone buzzed with a message . I glanced at it when I stopped at a red light . Adrian Sinclair had texted : " Did you arrive home safely ? Please drive carefully . " The thoughtful gesture from the fellow lawyer made me smile slightly . His consideration was refreshing after the emotional drama I'd just witnessed .

But my mind remained preoccupied with Lily and Ethan's complicated situation . Pack politics made everything so much more difficult than it needed to be . ( Connor's POV ) My phone rang just as I was reviewing security reports in my study . Miles Bennett's name flashed on the screen . " Connor , how are things with you and Olivia ? " Miles asked without preamble . His tone carried an unusual seriousness that immediately put me on alert .

Miles was typically lighthearted , so this change concerned me . " Why are you asking ? " I replied carefully , setting down the documents . " I'm sure you know that Adrian's parents have been in Blackmoor Territory all these years , and his family in the Northern Territory only includes his maternal grandparents and his aunt Emma Turner , who is Gabriel Andrews ' sister - in - law . " Miles continued with evident concern in his voice . " You know so much about Adrian's family ?

" The revelation about Olivia and Adrian prompted something cold to settle in my chest . I ended the call abruptly , my wolf pacing restlessly beneath my skin . Overwhelmed by a sense of loss and urgency , my Alpha's possessive instincts flared . I needed to secure my claim on Olivia before it was too late . Miles called back immediately . " Connor , don't hang up on me . I'm going to tell you now . " Comments Watch videos get points ( 0/10 ) >
