Chapter 210: The Dream
Olivia’s POV
I was asked to come downstairs for lunch... it had only been a full twenty-four hours since I arrived here. So far, things had been okay, but I couldn’t help wondering about the hostility from Gabriel’s sister. It was obvious—I wasn’t welcome here. And I also couldn’t stop thinking about what Alpha Gabriel and his sister were discussing yesterday... or what Gabriel meant when he said she should give him some time.
I wanted to brush it off—maybe it was just their personal family issues—but for some strange reason, I couldn’t let it go.
As I reached the dining table, I noticed Gabriel hadn’t arrived yet, but Abigail was already seated. The air was thick, heavy with tension as I quietly pulled out a chair.
"Hi," I greeted, forcing my voice to sound friendly.
She didn’t respond. Not even a glance.
I sat across from her and stared openly. If she had a problem, then she needed to spit it out already. I kept looking at her, refusing to look away, until I finally asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"
Abigail let out a short, bitter scoff. Her eyes were cold as she looked at me.
"You have no idea how much I dislike you," she said flatly.
I blinked, but kept my voice steady. "Is it because you know about me?"
She didn’t answer, but I kept going.
"You know I was once... mated to the Alphas of the Full Moon Pack," I said softly. "And maybe that’s why you don’t want me here. Maybe you don’t want someone like me near your brother."
