Chapter 103: Is that you? My Love
(Third–person’s POV)
Alpha White pushed open the office door and found only Selena inside, organizing files at the desk.
“Where’s Queen?” he asked, glancing around the empty room.
Selena looked up from her work. “Queen went to the bank to retrieve data.”
Alpha White nodded, understanding that Olivia preferred to avoid meeting strangers whenever possible. He turned to Theodore and Seraphina, who stood waiting behind him.
“Let’s go to the conference room, and I will explain the current situation.”
Theodore’s expression remained calm and professional. “We should have a direct video conference with the senior
management of my company to improve efficiency.”
He followed Alpha White down the hallway, his movements measured and controlled.
Seraphina trailed behind them, completely captivated by Theodore’s mature, steady, and reserved charm. Even if he had been divorced, and she would have to become a stepmother to his son, she would not hesitate to accept him.
The thought of being his mate filled her with excitement and determination.
(Olivia’s POV)
When I returned from the bank through the side entrance, I saw Alpha White walking into the conference room with two men and one woman.
The backs of those two men seemed somewhat familiar, but I quickly dismissed the thought. I reminded myself that I
knew no one here.
I immediately immersed myself in work, focusing on data analysis. My goal was to quickly reveal the criminals‘ modus operandi and construct a trap system to capture them.
The sooner I finished this case, the sooner I could return to Aurora.
Back in the office, Selena complained to me about the new arrivals. “Alpha White brought another group of people. Doesn’t he trust our abilities?”
I remained calm and focused on my computer screen. Although I was already proficient in using my mental power, I still didn’t dare to explore unreservedly with my mental detection in this unfamiliar place.
The political landscape here was too complex for careless mistakes.
After a while, Alpha White came in and approached my desk. “Queen Olivia, the recent group of people had good ideas. They suggested using big data analysis to understand why certain accounts become attack targets.”
He paused, watching my reaction. “The method seems reliable. I wanted to hear your opinion.”
I understood he was just being polite, so I gently replied, “No problem. I’ve already collected all the data, so let them have
the office.”
I began packing my laptop and files. “We can go back to the hotel and build the system.”
After saying this, I left with Selena, not bothering to look back.

I took Selena to a nearby restaurant for lunch, where she couldn’t help but vent her frustration. “For Alpha White to invite others means he doesn’t trust us, doesn’t it? You dropped everything to fly here and help him, and he still doesn’t believe in us.”
I remained unbothered, calmly cutting my venison steak. “Solving the case and recovering the bank users‘ money is what’s important. Nothing else matters.”
I placated Selena by ordering some of the restaurant’s famous venison dishes for her to try.
Seeing how familiar I was with the area, Selena asked curiously, “Queen, have you been to the Citadel before?”
I smiled faintly, memories of my time here with the Shadow Syndicate flickering through my mind. “I have indeed been here a few times.”
I took a sip of my red wine. “Later, you can accompany me to pick out a gift.”
(Third–person’s POV)
As Theodore and Seraphina left for lunch, Pack Enforcer Kade remained behind, tidying up a laptop in the conference
room.
He was following Eleanor’s instructions to give the pair some space, hoping to encourage their relationship and help Theodore move on from the past.
Suddenly, he glanced up and saw a woman who looked strikingly similar to Olivia walk past the window with a young she–wolf.
He scrambled to his feet and rushed outside, his heart pounding. But they had already vanished without a trace.
Kade stood on the sidewalk, scanning the crowded street desperately. Had his eyes deceived him?
Theodore and Seraphina chatted while eating at an upscale restaurant overlooking the city.
Theodore talked about the islands he had visited during his travels, his voice distant and mechanical.
Seraphina’s eyes lit up. “Those sound like great honeymoon destinations!”
A fleeting look of pain crossed Theodore’s eyes. “I came with my mate,” he stated, his voice tight with barely controlled emotion.
The mention of Olivia silenced Seraphina, who felt a pang of jealousy over his deep affection for the woman who had abandoned him.
As this awkward silence settled, Theodore’s mind focused on his true purpose. He accompanied Seraphina only because she seemed to have connections with the Kane family’s influence.
He needed their power to investigate a private island in the Pacific, a place that others cannot access.
Theodore was about to bring up the topic when Seraphina’s phone rang.
“It’s my brother!” she exclaimed, stepping out to take the call.
Her voice filled with excitement as she answered. “Brother, when did you suddenly decide to get married? You have a
mate? Mom and Dad will be thrilled!”
She walked towards the corridor while taking a phone call. Theodore no longer paid attention to her indistinct conversation fragments.
On the phone, Seraphina’s brother was explaining that his partner would visit their parents in the evening. He had a security meeting to attend, but would take a few days off afterwards to prepare for the engagement ceremony.

“So what’s your partner’s name? They’ve been mysteriously refusing to tell me,” Seraphina complained.
“You’ll find out when you meet them,” the man on the phone said with a laugh.
Seraphina returned, disappointment clear on her face. “I’m sorry, but I can’t show you around the city this evening. My brother’s bringing someone special to meet our parents.”
She tentatively invited him to her family home. “You could join us for dinner if you’d like.”
Theodore politely declined, citing her family’s guest. “I wouldn’t want to intrude on such an important occasion.”
He did, however, agree to accompany her for a walk after their meal. In his mind, he had a destination: a shop that his
mate had loved.
Her birthday was approaching, and he wanted to buy her a gift, holding onto the hope that she would one day return.
After the meal, Theodore took Seraphina into The Gilded Thorn Atelier, a renowned embroidery shop.
The familiar scent of silk and delicate threads brought back painful memories of shopping here with Olivia.
Just as he was about to place an order, a familiar voice suddenly came from across the shop. “What do you think of this
double–sided embroidered fan?”
Theodore abruptly looked up at the expansive embroidery shop and saw the back of a figure in a white shirt and jeans.
It was Olivia.
He almost immediately rushed over, grabbed her hand, “My beloved.”
