Chapter 31
Mind Command
Olivia POV
“Seems like someone is hungry,” he said.
My face burned even redder as I lowered my head in embarrassment.
I hadn’t even had time to finish breakfast before we left the pack, and now it was already evening. No wonder my stomach was protesting loudly.
The town around us was buzzing with life.
People moved back and forth along the dusty road, their laughter and chatter filling the air. Merchants stood behind wooden stalls calling out to customers while others bargained loudly over prices.
Children ran across the street, chasing one another in playful excitement..
I couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of envy watching them.
They moved around so freely… so happily.
Completely unaware of the dangers that existed beyond their peaceful lives.
On the other side of the road, a group of little kids were playing with a wooden ball, their laughter echoing through the street.
For a moment, I wondered what it would be like to live such a simple life.
No pack politics, no danger.
No Alpha kings or wolf conferences.
Just… peaceful life.
My thoughts were interrupted by another delicious wave of aroma drifting through the air.
My stomach growled again.
Alpha Kingsley chuckled softly beside me.
“Let’s fix that.”
We soon located the stall the smell was coming from.
It was a small wooden shed with two separate compartments.
The front section served as the dining area where people sat at small wooden tables to eat or wait for their orders
Inside, through the open doorway, I could see the kitchen where the food was being prepared Steam rose from large pots while the cooks worked quickly, their hands moving skillfully
Several people stood in a long queue waiting to be served
I sighed quietly.
I guess we would have to join the line
But just as we approached it, Alpha Kingsley continued walking straight toward the front
To my surprise, the people in the line suddenly moved aside
Almost instantly as if they had been expecting us

They cleared a path for us without a single complaint.
Before I could even understand what was happening, one of the workers rushed forward nervously.
“Yes, sir… please, this way.”
Within minutes, I found myself sitting at a small table.
And right in front of me appeared a plate of steaming buns, a bowl of chicken soup, and white rice served neatly on the side.
My eyes widened slightly.
Everything smelled heavenly.
Although I felt a little shy eating while everyone else was still waiting in line, hunger quickly won the battle.
I picked up a spoon and dove straight into the food.
The soup was warm and rich with flavor.
The chicken was tender and the rice soft and fragrant.
Before I realized it, I was eating faster than I intended.
Across the table, Alpha Kingsley sat quietly watching me.
The way he looked at me sent a strange chill through my body.
Something inside me twisted tightly.
My heart started beating faster.
I lowered my head quickly and focused on eating.
“Careful,” his voice suddenly sounded.
Deep and calm.
“Don’t rush. I’m not going to fight you for the food.”
I nodded quickly.
“Oh… okay.”
Embarrassed, I slowed down my eating.
Maybe we weren’t in such a hurry after all
Looking around again, I noticed the people were still waiting patiently in line.
The stall was clearly very popular
And honestly the food tasted amazing
But something still bothered me.
“Why did they let us go first?” I asked suddenly, glancing at him
“it looked strange.”
“Did you know them?”
He leaned back slightly, a smug smile forming on his face

“Maybe they just thought I was too handsome to wait in line.”
I scoffed.
“Yeah, right.”
I continued eating but deep down I knew that wasn’t the real reason.
Though I couldn’t deny something else.
He did look ridiculously handsome.
And powerful.
I had already noticed several women around us sneaking glances at him.
Though none of them dared look directly into his eyes.
I suspected his Alpha aura had something to do with that.
Then suddenly he spoke again.
“I mind-commanded them.”
