spanng="EN"(Olivia’s POV)

spanng="EN"“It’s none of your business,” I stated tly.

spanng="EN"Theodore couldn’t ept the reality before him. His face contorted with disbelief and rage.

spanng="EN"“You found another Alpha and bore his pup right after you severed our mate bond?” His voice cracked with anguish.

spanng="EN"We had been mated for a whole decade. How could she have another Alpha’s pup so quickly?

spanng="EN"He believed I loved him. He believed I would never betray our bond.

spanng="EN"I looked into Theodore’s eyes. The thought of Aurora’s resemnce to him made my heart race.

spanng="EN"But Aurora was Aurora, and Theodore was Theodore.

spanng="EN"“You can have an illegitimate daughter with ra during our mating,” I retorted. “So why can’t I fall in love and bear a pup with another Alpha after severing our bond?”

spanng="EN"Each word was a sharp de cutting into Theodore’s heart. I endured the difort of his touch as I spoke.

spanng="EN"“My love, let me exin,” Theodore pleaded.

spanng="EN"“Exin?” I sneered coldly. “Exin how you feigned devotion and conspired with everyone to deceive me?”

spanng="EN"My voice grew sharper with each usation.

spanng="EN"“How you shamelessly devoured what my mother left for me? How you ruthlessly killed my pup?”

spanng="EN"I stared at him with pure hatred.

spanng="EN"“Go on, Theodore, exin it to me.”

spanng="EN"He couldn’t exin. He had done every single one of those things.

spanng="EN"He pulled me into his embrace. He whispered sweet nothings as he used to when I was angry.

spanng="EN"“My love, I would never harm you. Everything I did was for you.”

spanng="EN"His voice was desperate, pleading.

spanng="EN"“Please believe me, won’t you? No Alpha will ever be better to you than I am.”

spanng="EN"In response, I bit down hard on his shoulder.

spanng="EN"The tighter he held me, the deeper I bit. As we struggled in a silent battle, I dug the nails of my other hand deep into my own palm.

spanng="EN"When Theodore felt a thick, warm liquid, he grabbed my hand. It was covered in blood.

spanng="EN"The sight of my self–inflicted wound sent him into a panic. The blood was so hot it felt like it was scorching his heart.

spanng="EN"“My love!” he cried, letting me go. “If you’re angry, hit me, howl at me, but don’t hurt yourself.”

spanng="EN"He was terrified.

spanng="EN"“I don’t want to see you,” I said, copsing onto the infirmary bed.

spanng="EN"My bandaged hand stained the white sheets red.

spanng="EN"(Theodore’s POV)

spanng="EN"Her hair was a mess. Her face was pale.

spanng="EN"Her eyes, filled with nothing but despair and disgust, stared at me lifelessly.

spanng="EN"“My love, I’ll leave right now.”

spanng="EN"I couldn’t bear to leave her, but I had to.

spanng="EN"Stepping out of the room, I immediately took a tablet showing the surveince feed from inside. I watched as Oliviay on the bed, breathing shallowly, devoid of any vitality.

spanng="EN"Healer Elias approached me.

spanng="EN"“Alpha Theodore, your former mate’s post–traumatic stress disorder has rpsed. The trigger this time was you.”

spanng="EN"The healer’s words shattered myst sliver of hope.

spanng="EN"I couldn’t see her. I couldn’t risk triggering her again, or she might do something I would regret for the rest of my life.

spanng="EN"Yet, the thought of watching her with another Alpha was unbearable.

spanng="EN"As I paced anxiously, Captain Ryker reported, “Alpha, the helicopter is ready. We can take Luna away anytime.”

spanng="EN"He paused, his expression grim.

spanng="EN"“But the Alpha King’s men have arrived. A major conflict is likely, but the pack is willing to fight for you and Luna.”

spanng="EN"Healer Elias interjected, “Luna’s condition is highly unstable. If she loses control mid–journey… the situation will be very dangerous.”

spanng="EN"His voice grew more serious.

spanng="EN"“I also discovered something else. She had heart surgery right after giving birth.”

spanng="EN"My blood ran cold.

spanng="EN"“While the surgery was sessful, her heart can no longer withstand any significant stress. Another pregnancy would be fatal.”

spanng="EN"The words hit me like a physical blow.

spanng="EN"“A donor heart must be on standby at all times.”

spanng="EN"Just then, my dark eyes narrowed as I saw Matthew approaching from the end of the corridor.

spanng="EN"Captain Ryker noticed something was wrong. “Alpha, those aren’t enforcers, they’re from the Royal Guard.”

spanng="EN"The guards cleared a path as Beta Tristan pointed at me.

spanng="EN"“That’s him. He illegally abducted our King’s mate.”

spanng="EN"The Royal Guards immediately moved in.

spanng="EN"“You are under arrest for suspicion of illegal a*******n and confinement.”

spanng="EN"Captain Ryker tried to exin, but the guards were firm.

spanng="EN"Matthew’s elite warriors pushed past the Crimson Pack warriors. They opened the infirmary room door.

spanng="EN"Inside, Olivia flinched in terror as the door opened. But upon seeing Matthew’s calm face, her frantic heart instantly settled.

spanng="EN"The next moment, she was in his arms, sobbing uncontrobly.

spanng="EN"From the doorway, I watched the scene unfold. I saw her nestle into Matthew’s embrace, crying out all her grievances.

spanng="EN"Just as she used to do with me when she was frightened. Seeking me out like a lifeline.

spanng="EN"An excruciating pain seized my heart. It felt as if I was dying.

spanng="EN"I had personally destroyed the Olivia who loved me.

spanng="EN"(Olivia’s POV)

spanng="EN"The door closed. After a while, I calmed down.

spanng="EN"I tried to pull the nket over my bleeding hand. But Matthew gently took it, his expression hardening at the sight of the fresh wounds.

spanng="EN"He slowly unwrapped the old bandage and put on a new one.

spanng="EN"“What happened?” he asked.

spanng="EN"I exined that Theodore had taken me and forced me to undergo a physical examination. I insisted it was his selfish possessiveness, not concern.

spanng="EN"Matthew’s hand paused on my back as heforted me.

spanng="EN"He could smell Theodore’s cedarwood scent on me. A sign that he had held me.

spanng="EN"“What else did he do to you?” he asked.

spanng="EN"I shook my head, pleading, “Let’s not talk about him, okay?”

spanng="EN"Matthew’s hand stilled. How could he not care?

spanng="EN"I was the she–wolf he nned to spend his life with. Yet in my eyes, he was merely a considerate ally.

spanng="EN"“The test results? Are they with the healer outside?” he asked.

spanng="EN"“I think so,” I replied, adding, “Matthew, Healer Elias and his mate helped me. They are good wolves.”

spanng="EN"“Hmm,” Matthew said with a hint of indifference. “In your eyes, who isn’t a good wolf?”

spanng="EN"I looked up, sensing he was upset. But his expression was as cid as ever.

spanng="EN"“I want to go back,” I said, starting to get out of bed.

spanng="EN"“Have Matildae in and help the Queen bathe and change,” Matthew suddenly instructed.

spanng="EN"“Be careful with the wound on your hand.”

spanng="EN"I realized my disheveled state was unsuitable for meeting his mother. I agreed.

spanng="EN"While I was in the bathroom, Matthew sat on the sofa. He told Beta Tristan, “Bring me the reports.”

spanng="EN"He quietly reviewed each document. Fertility: 0. Heart function at its limit. Rpse of stress–induced post–traumatic disorder.

spanng="EN"As the sun began to set, I emerged in a fresh dress. My slender legs were in long socks and soft leather shoes that cushioned my injured feet.

spanng="EN"I smiled faintly. “Thank you, Matilda.”

spanng="EN"Matilda looked towards Matthew. “Luna, it was all prepared by the Alpha King.”

spanng="EN"I turned to him and saw his grave expression. His brow was slightly furrowed.

spanng="EN"I knew he was looking at my medical reports. I leaned over curiously.
