(God’s POV)

    Olivia looked at Theodore in shock.

    Theodore gripped her hand, pulling the phone directly from her grasp and turning it off.

    Hisrge hand lingered on her shoulder, watching her gaze gradually turn cold. His eyes were filled with pain and bitterness.

    But what else could he do?

    She wouldn’t even listen to Lyra’s memory anymore, gradually making her mark in theputer industry. This time it was a government tender – what would it be next time?

    His people could discover her true identity as Cipher, so could others.

    He couldn’t let her life be threatened.

    It didn’t matter if she hated him, as long as she returned to his side.

    His hand gently fell on her shoulder, his unfathomable dark eyes surging with uncontroble tenderness.

    “I never signed the mate bond severance papers from three years ago.”

    “The video I released publicly – the signature was fake.”

    Her longshes trembled slig

    htly, but she said nothing.

    Theodore continued, “Two years of separation… also requires my consent as your Alpha…”

    “I don’t consent.”

    “You’re still Theodore Redgrave’s mate. Your marking with Matthew Kane is invalid.”

    Theodore pulled her into his embrace. The feeling of having her back filled his heart, soothing his wounded soul.

    Hisrge hand cradled the back of her head, pressing her small face against his chest. She was sopliant, just like before. “Let’s go pick up Leo from school. Our family of three will be together forever, just like before.”

    “Livvy, I won’t make mistakes again. Give me one more chance.”

    Her gaze was ice–cold, her whole body radiating coldness.

    Theodore took her hand, intertwining their fingers just like when they were first mated.

    He ignored her cold gaze, his frozen heart gradually warming up a little.

    Theodore led her away. Ethan took a photo of their retreating figures.

    He sent it to Matthew Kane.

    [Brother, what’s going on with Olivia?] Seraphina asked.

    Matthew stared at the photo on his phone.

    She had left holding Theodore’s hand willingly.

    Matthew exited the photo, his slender fingers hovering over her contact before trying to reach her through their mate bond.

    A hollow silence immediately responded – their bond was blocked.

    Matthew’s calm features were covered with ayer of frost.

    Beta Tristan approached at that moment. “Alpha King, it’s our turn.”

    Matthew is currently waiting in the council chamber, preparing to report to the parliament

    about the disturbance that urred on the territorial borderst night.

    Even though it was handled properly, it still caused quite a stir.

    Now everything in the Eastern Territory was under his control – with power came responsibility.

    The more authority he held, the more responsibility he had to bear.

    Being held ountable was only natural.

    He stood up, his tall, upright figure radiating coldness, his gaze infinitely indifferent.

    Beta Tristan was startled, clearly sensing his anger.

    He wondered what had gone wrong with the King’s operations again.

    “Alpha King, everything at the estate has been arranged.” Beta Tristan knew what might lift his spirits. “Luna Olivia will definitely be very happy tonight.”

    But Matthew’s gaze darkened even more as he nced at Beta Tristan.

    Beta Tristan stepped back in fear as Matthew took the documents from his hands.

    He watched as the council staff led him into the conference hall.

    Beta Tristan quickly instructed Tasha, “Go find out where Luna Olivia is.”

    Tasha frowned and left.

    In the upscale restaurant near the Pup Academy, only a family of three sat in the center of the main hall.

    Leo heard Theodore say, “Your mother will never leave you again.”

    He was so happy, holding her hand. She didn’t push him away either. “Mom, is it true?”

    She didn’t answer, just held Leo’s hand.

    “Mom, my grades are really good. I skipped to third grade, and the teacher tested my abilities

    I’m already showing signs of an Alpha intellect! The pack educators say I have the potential of the great Alpha leaders.” Leo eagerly shared his achievements with her.

    “Mom, look, I won first ce in the pack’s young warriorpetition.” He pulled a medal from his backpack and handed it to her.

    Her gaze moved from the medal to Leo’s small face. “Leo, you’re amazing.”

    She had investigated Lyra ckwood – a strategic genius who emerged out of nowhere over thirty years ago.

    She had inherited her mother’s intelligence and talent, and Leo… it seemed he had inherited hers too.

    Her strategic mind was exceptional, while Leo’s was even sharper.

    He was her blood, her flesh- this was a fact that could never be changed.

    No matter who his father was.

    Tears instantly fell from Leo’s eyes.

    She gently wiped away his tears.

    Leo threw himself into her arms, crying loudly. “Mom, I know I was wrong.”

    He didn’t know what his father had done to make his mother change her mind, but she didn’t look happy at all.

    This made him very uneasy, afraid that his mother would leave him at any moment.

    He held her tightly, his voice choked with sobs. “Mom, I won’t make you sad anymore.”

    She gently hugged Leo, whispering in his ear.

    Theodore sat nearby, watching them as if time had flowed back to the past.

    Their family of three, happy together.

    After dinner, they walked Leo to school together.

    Leo reluctantly said goodbye to her. The moment he entered the campus, tears streamed down his face.

    His mother had whispered in his ear: [Leo, past or future, no matter what happens, you will always be my son.]

    What was going to happen?

    He was filled with worry.

    In the car, Theodore wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb them. He drove personally, taking her with him.

    I’ll wrap up everything in the Eastern Territory as soon as possible. We’ll take Leo back to Stonehaven City.” Theodore spoke happily, one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding her hand.

    She gazed out the window. The Council Hall grew more distant in her view, and Matthew’s calm, handsome face that had appeared in her mind gradually faded from her sight.

    They arrived at the Estate.

    She pushed open the car door. Theodore had already walked around the front of the car and stood before her.

    He bent down and lifted her into his arms. Seeing that she didn’t refuse, his heart raced with excitement

    He carried her into the manor.

    Eleonora, Isadora, and Jack looked at them in shock.
