Chapter 138: Kiss Me, Like Before

Chapter 138: Kiss Me, Like Before

(Connor’s POV)

“Connor, what are you talking about? How could I possibly abuse Emma? She’s our daughter! I

love her so much, how could I abuse her?” Victoria’s eyes reddened with tears as she vehemently denied my accusations.

Her voice trembled with indignation, making me second–guess myself. Was I wrong? Had

Olivia Winters manipulated me?

“Then explain the bruises on her arms,” I demanded, my voice lower but no less intense. “Explain the needle marks, Victoria.”

Victoria’s hand flew to her mouth in apparent shock. “Needle marks? Connor, those are from

her vitamin injections! She has a deficiency that requires regular treatment.”

I studied her face, searching for signs of deception. Something in her expression triggered my

instinctive suspicion, despite her perfectly delivered performance.

“Dorothy showed me evidence,” I said, watching her reaction carefully. “She has videos.”

Victoria’s eyes flashed with momentary anger before softening again. “That woman has always been jealous of me. She’s trying to turn you against me, can’t you see?”

She stepped closer, placing her hand on my chest. The familiar scent of her perfume-

moonlight jasmine–clouded my senses.

“Connor, think about it. Why would I hurt our precious daughter? Everything I’ve done has been

to secure her future.”

I wanted desperately to believe her. This was the woman I had loved, the mother of

The woman I’d gone to prison for.

my

child.

“What about the video Dorothy showed me? Emma standing in the snow in her nightgown?”

Victoria’s expression shifted to one of maternal concern. “Oh, that. Emma had a fever that night. The doctor recommended brief cold exposure to bring it down naturally. It looks cruel without context, but I was following medical advice.”

Her explanation sounded plausible, but doubt had taken root in my mind.

“And the bruises?” I pressed.

Victoria sighed dramatically. “Those teachers at Crescent Moon Training Den are too rough

with the pups. I’ve complained multiple times, but Ethan won’t listen. He thinks it builds

character.”

I frowned, remembering the video Dorothy had shown me. Emma standing barefoot in the snow, wearing only a thin nightgown during winter. The child’s lips had been blue, her small body shaking violently as tears froze on her cheeks.

“If the teachers are hurting her, why haven’t you removed her from the training den?” I

challenged.

Victoria’s eyes widened slightly. “It’s the most prestigious training den in the territory.

Removing her would hurt her social standing.”

“Social standing?” I repeated incredulously. “She’s a child, Victoria!”

My protective rage surged again as I moved toward Emma’s bedroom. Victoria quickly

stepped in my path.

“She’s sleeping, Connor. Please don’t wake her.”

I pushed past her, needing to see my daughter again. Emma lay exactly as I’d left her,

unnaturally still in her slumber.

“She’s sleeping too deeply,” I observed, my suspicion growing. “We’ve been shouting, and she

hasn’t stirred once.”

Victoria appeared beside me, her hand resting gently on Emma’s forehead. “I gave her some

special calming tea before bed. She’s been having nightmares lately.”

“Drugging her?” I growled, my hands clenching into fists.

“It’s just herbal tea,” Victoria insisted, her voice soothing. “Moonlight herb with a touch of

chamomile. Perfectly harmless for young children.”

She stroked Emma’s hair with apparent tenderness. “I didn’t want her to hear us… reuniting. Children shouldn’t be exposed to adult passions.”

I studied Victoria’s face, torn between my lingering love for her and my concern for Emma. The

woman I remembered would never harm a child–especially not our child.

“We should leave,” I said suddenly, the idea forming as I spoke. “All three of us. We can start

over somewhere new, away from Ethan Stone’s territory.”

Victoria’s head snapped up, genuine shock in her eyes. “Leave? Are you insane?”

“We could be a proper family,” I continued, warming to the idea. “You, me, and Emma. No more

lies, no more hiding.”

Victoria laughed, the sound brittle and forced. “Connor, be realistic. Where would we go? How would we live?”

“I have money saved,” I insisted. “Enough to get us started somewhere new.”

Victoria’s expression hardened. “And throw away everything I’ve built here? I’m weeks away from becoming Luna Stone.”

The truth of her priorities hit me like a physical blow. “So that’s what this is about? Status?

Power?”

g

“It’s about security,” Victoria hissed, dropping her maternal act. “Do you have any idea how hard I’ve worked to get this close to becoming Luna?”

I stared at her, finally seeing clearly. “You never loved me, did you?”

Victoria’s silence was answer enough.

I leaned down and pressed a gentle–kiss to Emma’s forehead before turning back to Victoria.

“I’m taking Emma with me. Tonight.”

Victoria’s eyes widened in alarm. “You can’t do that. Ethan would hunt you down and kill you.”

“Let him try,” I growled, my wolf stirring protectively. “She’s my daughter.”

Victoria stepped closer, her voice dropping to a seductive whisper. “Connor, don’t be hasty. We

can work something out.”

Her hand caressed my cheek, her body pressing against mine. “Remember how good we were

together? We can have that again.”

I caught her wrist, stopping her touch. “I’m serious, Victoria. Either you come with us, or I’m taking Emma alone.”

Victoria’s eyes narrowed. “You wouldn’t dare.”

I pulled her close and kissed her hard, pouring all my anger and betrayal into it. When I pulled

away, I whispered against her lips, “Watch me.”

She stiffened, sensing the threat behind my kiss.

“Tomorrow night,” I repeated, heading for the door. “Make your choice.”

I left without looking back, my heart heavy but my purpose clear. I would protect my daughter,

whatever the cost.

I sat silently in Lucas’s car, watching Connor’s dejected departure from Rosewood Haven. His shoulders were slumped, his steps heavy with the weight of his discoveries.

“He didn’t believe us,” I murmured, disappointment settling in my chest.

Lucas’s gray eyes remained fixed on Connor’s retreating figure. “He will. The seed of doubt has been planted.”

I nodded, hoping he was right. Despite Connor’s past actions against me, I couldn’t help feeling sympathy for him. Victoria had manipulated him just as she had manipulated

everyone else.

“My men will follow him,” Lucas assured me. “Make sure he doesn’t do anything rash.”

The tension of the evening washed over me suddenly, leaving me exhausted. The

confrontation with Connor, the evidence of Emma’s abuse, Victoria’s cruelty–it was

overwhelming.

“Thank you,” I said softly, leaning back against the headrest. “For everything.”

Lucas turned to me, his expression softening. “You don’t need to thank me, Olivia.”

My eyelids felt heavy, the events of the day catching up with me. I fought to stay alert, but

exhaustion was winning.

“I should get back,” I murmured, my words slurring slightly. “Ethan will be wondering where I

am.”

“Let him wonder,” Lucas replied, his voice a comforting rumble in the quiet car.

I meant to respond, to insist he take me home, but my eyes closed of their own accord. The last thing I remembered was the gentle weight of Lucas’s jacket being placed over me as I

drifted into sleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, but I awoke to the sound of voices–one calm and measured, the

other sharp with anger.

Lucas sat beside me, his body tense but his expression controlled. He was watching someone

through the window, his gray eyes narrowed.

“I won’t ask again, Blackwood,” came a familiar voice, cold with fury. “What are you doing with

my mate?”

Ethan. My heart lurched as I blinked away sleep, immediately grasping the tense situation.

A sharp knock on the car window made me jump. Ethan stood there, his amber eyes blazing

with anger, his face a mask of barely controlled rage.

“Get out of the car, Olivia,” he commanded, his voice carrying even through the closed window.

I straightened, pushing Lucas’s jacket off my shoulders. “I should go,” I whispered, not meeting

Lucas’s eyes.

Lucas caught my hand. “You don’t have to.”

His touch was warm, comforting. For a moment, I was tempted to stay, to let him drive away

with me still in the passenger seat.

But my mother’s face flashed in my mind. Her treatment at the medical center depended on Ethan’s goodwill.

“I do,” I replied softly. “But thank you.”

Ethan’s knuckles rapped against the glass again, harder this time. “Now, Olivia.”

I squeezed Lucas’s hand once before releasing it. “You should go. This will only escalate if you

stay.”

Lucas’s jaw tightened, but he nodded. “Call me if you need anything. Anytime.”

Then he was gone, taillights disappearing around the corner.

I pulled my arm from Ethan’s grasp and walked toward the building without acknowledging him. My apartment was on the third floor–if I could just get inside and lock the door…

Ethan followed silently, his anger a palpable force at my back. In the elevator, he stood too

close, his breath hot against my neck.

When we reached my door, I fumbled with the keys, my hands shaking slightly. Before I could

insert the key, Ethan’s palm slammed against the door, keeping it closed.

“What were you doing with him?” he demanded, his voice dangerously soft.

I kept my eyes on the door. “Nothing that concerns you.”

“Everything about you concerns me,” he growled, turning me to face him. “You’re my mate.”

“In name only,” I replied coldly.

His eyes flashed with anger and something else–hurt, perhaps? “Is that why you were with Blackwood? Looking for a replacement?”

I laughed bitterly. “As if you haven’t replaced me a hundred times over with Victoria.”

Ethan’s jaw tightened. “That’s different.”

“Of course it is,” I said sarcastically, turning back to the door.

This time I managed to unlock it and step inside, but Ethan followed before I could close it. With one swift movement, he pinned me against the wall, his body pressing against mine.
