Chapter 210: The Truth About Lily’s Death
## Chapter 210: The Truth About Lily’s Death
(Ethan’s POV)
Connor Blackthorn’s words echoed in my mind as I knelt before Olivia’s door. The rogue wolf had confessed under extreme werewolf torture methods – techniques that even Alpha–trained wolves might not withstand.
Connor hadn’t changed his story despite the agony. I had believed Victoria’s version of events completely. According to what Connor revealed, Victoria Frost hated Olivia because Olivia had given Emma’s kidney donor to Lily. This would have allowed Lily to live while Emma died. That’s why Victoria supposedly bought off Connor to frame Olivia.
But if what Olivia just told me was true if the kidney Lily needed didn’t match Emma at all–then everything Victoria claimed was a lie.
Victoria’s story about selfishly choosing to let Emma live because she loved her too much was complete fabrication. She had never been in a position to save Emma with that kidney.
“Ethan Stone, from the beginning, Victoria Frost never wanted Lily to live,” Olivia said, her emerald eyes growing redder as tears welled up.
Her wolf whimpered beneath her skin with renewed grief. The pain in her voice cut through me like silver
claws.
“She not only deliberately stole Lily’s kidney donor, causing Lily to have no compatible donor available during the emergency surgery, but also deliberately ignored my calls for help on the day Lily was critically ill.”
Olivia’s voice cracked as she continued. “If you had received my call, even if you didn’t care for Lily at the time, you wouldn’t have ignored her and watched her die.”
“You might have taken back the kidney donor and given it to Lily first, giving her a chance at life. But Victoria cut off Lily’s path to survival.”
Upon hearing Olivia mention the phone call, I was stunned. My amber eyes widened in realization.
“Liv, I didn’t see your call,” I mumbled, the tr
hitting me like a physical blow.
Victoria had deleted the call record from my Alpha Phone. I recalled receiving a call from Victoria on the way to Moonlight Fair that day.
She said Emma had been admitted to the Silvercrest Medical Den, diagnosed with kidney failure. Hearing Emma was in the medical den and Victoria sounding panicked, I thought Emma’s condition was severe.
I chose to go to the medical den to see Emma, thinking I could always spend time with Lily later. I didn’t realize that Lily, wanting to spend time alone with me, had lied to Olivia about where she was going. Victoria deliberately called me, knowing Lily was in urgent need of a kidney donor, waiting for me to save her life. Then she stole the kidney donor and blocked Olivia’s call, letting Lily die on the operating table.
If this was the truth of Lily’s death, then my trust and protection of Victoria over the past two years was a great harm to Olivia and Lily. I had been protecting Lily’s killer.
Chapter 210 The Truth Ab
I knelt on the ground, feeling overwhelmed by guilt. My wolf howled in anguish inside me as I looked at Olivia wanting to say I didn’t know.
I wanted to say that if I had known Victoria was maliciously killing Lily and not acting for Emma’s sake, I wouldn’t have protected her. Even if I didn’t know she wasn’t my true mate at the time.
However, I knew I had chances to discover the truth. My distrust of Olivia prevented her from telling me, or
perhaps she just didn’t want to tell me anymore.
(Olivia’s POV)
I understood what Ethan wanted to express. My emerald eyes also reddened as my wolf grieved anew for Lily
“Ethan Stone, I told you countless times. If you had listened even once, my Lily’s spirit wouldn’t be unable to rest with the Moon Goddess even now.”
For over two years, I hadn’t had a good night’s sleep, haunted by the thought of Lily’s unavenged death. All of this was Ethan’s fault.
This statement felt like another stab to Ethan’s heart. Seeing me in tears, Ethan felt even more heartbroken. “Liv, don’t cry, I’m sorry to you and Lily. It’s my fault, not listening to you, not believing you, don’t cry.”
He stood up, wanting to embrace me. But Lucas Blackwood, who had come to have breakfast with me as promised, was faster.
He had arrived before we revealed the truth about Lily’s kidney donor but hadn’t shown himself, intending to wait until we finished speaking. However, when Ethan suddenly wanted to embrace me, he immediately stepped forward.
His gray eyes flashed with possessiveness as he moved between us.
Lucas Blackwood embraced me, letting me bury myself in his arms. His Moonlight Henley quickly soaked
with my tears.
Lucas looked at Ethan and said, “Ethan Stone, what you owe Olivia and Lily is more than just this. Do you know what else Victoria Frost did to Lily and Olivia under your protection and indulgence?”
“Do you remember the date of the celebration feast you held for Emma for getting third place in the Crescent Moon Training Dercompetition?”
Ethan couldn’t recall the date. Lucas sneered, “I’ll tell you, it was December 22nd…”
Ethan didn’t understand why Lucas was bringing up that day. His wolf bristled with confusion and growing
dread.
I suddenly looked up from Lucas’s arms, my emerald eyes red, shouting hoarsely, “What are you bringing up that day for?! That day was the day Lily was buried!”
(Ethan’s POV)
I was shocked, my amber eyes widening in horror. I had never thought about it in detail before, not knowing Victoria had deliberately killed Lily.
Now, with Lucas revealing it, I remembered Victoria’s invitation to Olivia to bring Lily to Emma’s celebration feast. She wanted me to see Lily.
I didn’t believe Lily was dead at the time, and I did miss her, looking forward to her coming. But only Olivia
< Chapter 210 The Truth Ab
came, and she ruined the celebration feast.
Victoria called the Northern Territory Enforcers, and I didn’t stop it, letting Olivia suffer. Even that night, I didn’t see Lily’s Moonwood Ceremonial Urn in the next room and was furious, hurting Olivia again.
My eyes grew redder, looking at Olivia, wanting to say sorry. My wolf whined with remorse.
Lucas hugged Olivia tighter, his wolf’s protective instincts surging as he continued, “Do you know why Olivia rushed into Victoria’s house two years ago, hating her so much that she wanted to kill her?”
I also remembered that day. I wanted to have another child with Olivia so that Lily might be reborn as our
pup.
Olivia reacted strongly, insisting on Victoria paying with her life. After we broke up unhappily, Emma called me, saying Victoria was bleeding a lot.
I rushed over and saw Victoria with a head injury. Because Olivia had said those words to me, my first reaction was that Olivia had really hurt Victoria like that.
Afterward, Olivia rushed into Rosewood Haven covered in blood, wanting to kill Victoria. I stopped her, fearing she would kill someone, and had James Knight inject her with a sedative and take her back to Maple Grove.
“Why?” I asked, dreading the answer.
Lucas påtted Olivia’s back, comforting her, and said, “That night, Victoria secretly took wolfsbane–infused blood and a silver talisman that would prevent a werewolf’s spirit from finding peace to Lily’s grave.”
“Victoria wanted Lily’s spirit to never find rest with the Moon Goddess. Olivia tried her best to stop her, but Victoria still poured the wolfsbane blood on Lily’s Moonstone Tombstone.”
“Olivia wiped it clean all night.”
I trembled, imagining Olivia’s despair as she wiped the poisonous blood from her daughter’s resting place. Her hands burning from contact with the wolfsbane.
“Olivia, go inside and check on the venison stew,” Lucas said, excusing Olivia, not wanting her to relive the rest of the painful memories.
Olivia nodded and entered the cottage without looking at me. Lucas closed the door in front of me.
“And Victoria’s paralysis, do you know why Olivia pushed her?” Lucas asked.
I was overwhelmed, my wolf cowering beneath my skin.
“Victoria knew Olivia had severe moon sickness, and she threatened Olivia to see her with Lily’s ashes. She used Lily’s ashes to threaten Olivia to kneel and submit to her, humiliating Olivia, trampling on her dignity.” Lucas’s gaze at me turned cold. “She wanted to push Olivia to the extreme, to make her take her own life.” “Olivia was pushed to the extreme by Victoria, that’s why she acted against her and pushed her down the mountain. Ethan Stone, do you understand? Victoria’s legs are paralyzed, it’s. her just desserts, it has nothing to do with Olivia!”
(Olivia’s POV)
Lucas didn’t intend to let Ethan off the hook. He wanted him to know the depth of the harm he had caused
- me.
Chapter 210 The Truth Ab
He wanted Ethan to know that he didn’t deserve my forgiveness and should spend the rest of his life in regret
and quilt.
Lucas finished speaking and knocked on the door. I opened it, wearing an apron, my face cleaned of tears.
Lucas entered, taking out his Moonwood Guest Slippers from the shoe cabinet and putting them on before closing the door.
Ethan stood outside, bitter, jealous of Lucas and my closeness. He couldn’t say that I was his mate.
After standing there for a while, Ethan turned and left. A coldness returned to his amber eyes as he got into his Shadow Ghost and made a call on his Phone.
Inside the cottage, Lucas looked at my red eyes, feeling sorry. “Liv, I’m sorry, I reopened your wounds.” I’shook my head. “I know you wanted Ethan to know how wrong he was, you’re standing up for me and Lily, you want him to suffer.”
I understood Lucas’s intentions and wouldn’t blame him. My wolf appreciated his protection.
“Liv, not only that, but I also want Ethan to understand that he was the one who failed to recognize his true mate, he was the one who misunderstood you, and he was the one who indulged Victoria and her daughter to harm you and Lily.”
“Even if he has now awakened and realized his mistakes, the harm he has done to you over the years is irreversible, he doesn’t deserve to have you anymore.”
(Third person’s POV)
“Lucas, in this lifetime, I will never forgive Ethan Stone, nor will I ever complete our mate bond with him,”
Olivia said.
“Indeed, Victoria killed Lily, but without him, how could Victoria have had the opportunity to kill Lily? Victoria is extremely guilty, and Ethan is equally unforgivable.”
She hated Victoria and equally hated Ethan. Her wolf rebelled against the very thought of accepting Ethan as her mate again.
Lucas looked at Olivia’s resolute face. He knew that the main reason why Olivia was so ruthless to Ethan now was because of her hatred for him over Lily’s death.
That was why she resolutely said she would not forgive Ethan.
“What if…?” Lucas thought of the little wolf pup who looked very similar to Lily in the Northern Packs.
He hoped that the little girl could really be Lily.
