spanng="EN"(Olivia’s POV)

spanng="EN"The voices around me grew louder, filled with shock and disbelief.

spanng="EN"“How could loyal Alpha Theodore betray Moon Queen Olivia!” someone shouted, their voice cracking with emotion.

spanng="EN"“This is impossible, another whispered urgently. “Theodore broadcasted his proposal to the whole world back then.”

spanng="EN"I looked at Theodore’s deep amber eyes, seeing my own sorrowful face reflected in them. My body wouldn’t stop trembling.

spanng="EN"“Livvy, this is a misunderstanding,” Theodore said, his voice desperate but still trying to deceive me.

spanng="EN"“With such irrefutable evidence, you still call this a misunderstanding?” I choked out.

spanng="EN"I looked at him, his panicked yet insincere expression ovepping with the Alpha who once deeply loved me.

spanng="EN"“You even made me adopt her,” I said, my voice breaking. “Telling me how much this little pup resembled our lost daughter.”

spanng="EN"“I finally understand why she looked so much like our lost daughter.” Because she is your illegitimate pup.

spanng="EN"The crowd gasped again, their voices rising in outrage.

spanng="EN"“Alpha Theodore actually tricked Luna Olivia into adopting his own illegitimate pup! How could he do such a thing?”

spanng="EN"Theodore frantically grabbed my shoulders, his eyes filled with regret. “My love, it’s not like that, let me exin.”

spanng="EN"“Fine, you exin,” I said, tears streaming down my face.

spanng="EN"I wanted to know why the Alpha who loved me so deeply would destroy everything we had.

spanng="EN"He stammered, his gaze shifting guiltily. “My love,” he began, “I was helping Caleb…”

spanng="EN"Disgusted, I refused to listen to another word. The folder slipped from my hand, its contents scattering across the floor.

spanng="EN"I wiped my tears and turned to ra and Killian. “I’m sorry, my little star, Aunt Livvy has to go home now. I’lle and y with you another time.”

spanng="EN"ra, sensing my sadness, clung to my hand. “Aunt Livvy, why don’t youe to my house? My house is very happy.”

spanng="EN"I gently patted her head and walked away. Isadora quickly followed behind me.

spanng="EN"With Olivia gone, Theodore’s guilt was reced by cold fury as he faced Killian. He med him for instigating the affair revtion.

spanng="EN"“Professor Vance, our pack matters don’t require your intervention. Please show some self–respect.”

spanng="EN"Killian remained impassive, “Whether the pup is registered under your name as a favor to a friend is your pack’s business.”

spanng="EN"“But this she–wolf spreading rumors, deceiving the public, and ndering Luna Olivia is a criminal matter,” he stated coolly.

spanng="EN"“Alpha Theodore, surely you aren’t going to pull strings for her again, for your friend’s sake?”

spanng="EN"The influential guests murmured among themselves, their disapproval clear. Theodore felt the pressure of their judgment.

spanng="EN"He had no choice but to order his pack enforcers. “Call the authorities.”

spanng="EN"Killian stepped forward. “I can provide witness testimony if needed.”

spanng="EN"Theodore shot him a final, menacing re before departing with his entourage.

spanng="EN"(Olivia’s POV)

spanng="EN"At my apartment, I was met by Theodore and a desperate Caleb waiting outside my door. Caleb immediately dropped to his knees before me.

spanng="EN"“Luna, it’s true,” he cried,unching into what sounded like a rehearsed story.

spanng="EN"He imed his family would never ept the pup, Rosalie, so he begged Theodore for help. Theodore stepped forward, presenting a document.

spanng="EN"“This is the paternity test report,” Theodore said, his voice strained. “It proves Caleb is the father.”

spanng="EN"I looked at the forged document, appalled that they would stoop to such lengths. The lies were so obvious, so desperate.

spanng="EN"I ignored their pleaspletely. I unlocked my door and stepped inside.

spanng="EN"Before I could close it, I heard Theodore’s hollow promises through the wood. “My love, I won’t let the person who ndered you get away with it.”

spanng="EN"“My love, remember the ‘Moonlit Sapphire‘? Your mother’s final work. I’m going to bid for it right now.”

spanng="EN"I slid down against the door, my body copsing in a heap. The weight of everything crashed down on me.

spanng="EN"I eventually fell asleep on the sofa, exhausted from crying. When I awoke, the television was still on.

spanng="EN"A news report was ying. “ra Thorne has been arrested and charged for spreading malicious rumors online.”

spanng="EN"But the segment quickly changed to entertainment news. A live charity auction filled the screen.

spanng="EN"“And the winning bid for the ‘Moonlit Sapphire‘ goes to Alpha Theodore Redgrave for twenty million!”

spanng="EN"My breath caught in my throat. The ne appeared on screen – a brilliant blue sapphire surrounded by smaller diamonds.

spanng="EN"It was my mother’sst and most cherished design. She had created it before her mating to Silvanus ended her crafting career.

spanng="EN"As I stared at the screen, my phone buzzed with an iing video call. The caller ID was unknown.

spanng="EN"I answered with trembling fingers.

spanng="EN"The video was shaky, filled with muffled voices and dim lighting. I could barely make out what was happening.

spanng="EN"“I helped you catch the person who’s been harming our Luna,” ra’s breathless voice cooed from the phone.

spanng="EN"“How will you reward me?”

spanng="EN"Theodore’s deep voice replied, “What do you want?”

spanng="EN"“The Moonlit Sapphire,” ra purred. “You gave your undying love to our Luna, so you can at least give me a gift that’s undying, right?”

spanng="EN"“Luna has so much jewelry, she won’t miss this one.”

spanng="EN"My breath hitched. The phone shook in my hands.

spanng="EN"“Serve me well,” Theodore’s voice dripped with lust, “and everything will be yours.”

spanng="EN"Suddenly, ra’s face filled the screen. She was smiling triumphantly.

spanng="EN"Theodore’s hands came into view, the mating ring still on his finger. He fastened the brilliant blue ‘Moonlit Sapphire‘  around her neck.

spanng="EN"Her neck was littered with dark bite marks.

spanng="EN"“Alpha, thank you,” she whispered, her voice sickeningly sweet.

spanng="EN"Theodore then pulled her face to his. His lips crashed down on hers in a passionate kiss.

spanng="EN"In that moment, I knew. He had bailed ra out and given her the ne.

spanng="EN"My mother’s legacy, given to the daughter of the she–wolf my mother despised most.

spanng="EN"The phone ttered from my hand as a raw, hysterical scream tore from my throat.

spanng="EN"“Theodore Redgrave, let go of her! I told you to let go of her!”
