Chapter 223: Alpha’s Pilgrimage of Atonement

(Olivia’s POV)

My focus wasn’t on Ethan Stone’s explanation about saving Victoria. His words about Connor Blackthorn handing over evidence struck me like lightning.

“The evidence has been given to the Northern Territory Enforcers,” Ethan continued, his amber eyes intense. “It’s irrefutable. Victoria will be punished by pack law.”

My wolf stirred within me, a whine of relief escaping through our bond. Lily and Matriarch Evelyn could finally

rest in peace.

My emotions crashed over me like a tidal wave. I couldn’t control the trembling in my lips as tears filled my emerald eyes.

I looked down, covering my mouth with my hand. Large tears fell despite my efforts to contain them.

I was suppressing a silent cry of pain, my wolf’s anguish echoing through my very soul. The road to seeking justice for Lily had been impossibly difficult.

The past scenes were deeply etched in my mind like silver scars. My Lily had been sleeping in the Sacred Moonlight Cemetery for nearly three years before she could receive justice.

During the thousand–plus days and nights after Lily’s death, I couldn’t eat or sleep whenever I thought of Victoria. The murderer had been living well under Ethan’s protection while my daughter lay cold in the ground.

Finally, I had waited for the day when Victoria would be punished. Lucas was right – the wheels of justice turn slowly but grind surely.

Evil wolves will eventually face pack judgment.

Seeing my tears, Ethan’s heart suddenly constricted. His Alpha instincts surged with protective anguish. “Olivia, I’m sorry,” he whispered, filled with heartache. He reached out to embrace me, his movements desperate.

If he hadn’t mistaken Victoria from the start, none of the tragedies would have happened. He wouldn’t have hurt me so deeply because of the misunderstanding.

He wouldn’t have neglected Lily because of the deception, ignoring her for five whole years. He wouldn’t have indirectly caused the deaths of both Lily and Matriarch Evelyn.

“Slap!” Before Ethan could touch me, my mother rushed over.

Evelyn Winters delivered a powerful blow across the Alpha King’s face. Her human strength was enhanced by maternal fury.

She shielded me behind her like a mother wolf protecting her pup. Her eyes blazed with fierce wariness as she stared at Ethan.

“What did you do to Olivia again to make her cry?” she demanded. Her voice carried authority despite having no wolf.

Chapter 223 Alpha’s Pilon

Ethan Stone, haven’t you hurt Olivia enough? How can you bear to hurt her again?

Mom had just finished her medical check–up. She saw Olivia and Ethan facing each other, with me crying in. sadness,

Since my depression had improved, she hadn’t seen me so devastated in a long time. She assumed that Ethan had made me cry.

As a mother, she already felt she had failed me too much. She felt the pain of all the suffering I had endured. Protecting me was a mother’s instinct, wolf or not.

“Mrs. Winters, I’m sorry,” Ethan apologized without defending himself. His Alpha pride bowed before a mother’s righteous anger.

Shielded behind my mother, I couldn’t hold back my emotions at the sight of her. I threw myself into her arms, hugging her tightly.

“Mom, Victoria has finally been caught by the enforcers,” I said tearfully. “Lily’s justice can finally be served. My Lily, she can finally rest in peace in the ancestral hunting grounds.”

Unable to avenge Lily, I had felt too much guilt towards my deceased daughter. Hearing this, Mom was clearly stunned.

As I finished speaking, I was already sobbing uncontrollably. Mom didn’t dare to ask further, hugging me while gently patting my back to comfort me.

Then she turned her gaze to the Alpha King.

Ethan repeated what he had just told me to Mom. His voice was heavy with the weight of an Alpha’s judgment.

Confirming that the evidence was solid this time, Mom couldn’t help but shed tears as well. Her heart was breaking for her granddaughter she’d never met.

“Ethan Stone, swear you won’t protect Victoria again,” she demanded fiercely. “If you let her off lightly because of Emma, may the Moon Goddess curse you with eternal loneliness.”

In Mom’s eyes, Ethan wasn’t trustworthy. She hadn’t forgotten that he had personally exposed Victoria but had easily let her go again because of Emma.

I had kept it from her, but how could she not guess? How could she know that Ethan wouldn’t repeat the same mistake this time?

“Emma died last night,” Ethan said in a low voice. His Alpha composure was cracking.

“Mrs. Winters, even if Emma hadn’t died, I wouldn’t let Victoria escape justice because of her.”

Ethan’s words made Mom’s expression slightly soften. She was a kind–hearted person, but hearing that Emma had died, she felt no sympathy.

The Moon Goddess’s justice was/swift. Ethan had finally done something right, personally sending the murderer who killed Lily to the enforcers.

In the bustling medical center/lobby, Mom and I embraced and cried. While we were relieved that Lily’s justice had finally been served, we also felt endless sadness and loss.

The justice was served, but Lily would never return from the ancestral hunting grounds.

< Chapter 223 Alpha’s Pilgri

I was afraid that Mom’s emotional fluctuations would affect her health. Facing my only living relative, I was terrified of losing her,

I was always considerate and careful. I took the lead in stopping my tears and lifted my head from her arms. Ethan looked at me, my eyes red and swollen from crying and my face covered in tears. He reached out with a handkerchief to help me wipe them away.

Before his hand could touch me, I coldly brushed it away. My wolf rejected his comfort.

I took out a tissue from my bag and wiped away my mother’s tears first. Mom also gently helped me wipe away my tears.

Ethan’s hand froze in mid–air. He silently retracted it, his Alpha pride wounded by my rejection.

Dr. Harrison Fletcher approached with the follow–up report, breaking the tense moment.

Learning that Mom’s recovery was progressing well, Ethan took the initiative to offer, “Mrs. Winters, Olivia, fil drive you both home.”

Mom coldly refused, her human instincts protective of me. “No need.”

Knowing that she had misunderstood Ethan’s intentions earlier, Mom didn’t think she was wrong to slap him. The harm he had caused me in the past couldn’t be offset by a single blow.

Mom looked at the Alpha King, knowing what he was thinking. Because she knew, she spoke bluntly.

“Ethan Stone, don’t think that sending Victoria to the enforcers is a get–out–of–jail–free card and that Olivia will forgive you.”

“Ethan Stone, Victoria deserves to face pack justice, but you are an accomplice.”

“If it weren’t for you, how would she have had the chance to kill Lily? And how could we have waited until today to avenge Lily and let her rest in the ancestral hunting grounds?”

“Victoria is evil, but how much better are you? As Lily’s biological father, you didn’t fulfill an Alpha father’s responsibility for a single day, ignoring her for five years.”

“You gave all the paternal love that belonged to her to Emma, and you gave all the mate bond love that belonged to Olivia to Victoria.”

“The harm you’ve done to them, mother and daughter, can’t be erased with a few apologies.”

“If you still remember my life–saving grace to you and truly feel sorry for Olivia, then consciously stay away from her. You’ve delayed her for too many years.”

“She doesn’t want or need your participation in her future life. Your non–interference is the best repayment to me and the best compensation to Olivia.”

(Ethan’s POV)

The pain in my amber eyes almost overflowed. My Alpha composure was crumbling.

My thin lips moved, but Evelyn didn’t give me a chance to speak. She had said everything she needed to say

to me.

If I truly felt guilty, I should automatically stay away.

“Lucas.” Evelyn looked at Lucas Blackwood, who had come to pick thern up.

< Chapter 223 Alpha’s Pilgr

She hadn’t allowed Lucas to come for today’s check–up initially. But before being discharged from the medical center, it was time to see his intentions clearly.

In fact, she had observed his sincerity towards Olivia clearly over the past year. Before, with Lily’s justice not served, Olivia had no intention of considering personal matters.

Now that Lily’s justice had been achieved, she and Lucas should settle their bond.

Lucas strode over with Alpha confidence. Evelyn directly placed Olivia’s hand in Lucas’s hand in front of me.

It was a clear territorial display. Lucas grasped it tightly without hesitation, his wolf recognizing the gesture. Olivia didn’t pull her hand back either. Her wolf was accepting the comfort.

I sensed the sudden change in my expression. My Alpha energy spiked dangerously.

Evelyn immediately looked over. Seeing my gaze fixed on Olivia and Lucas’s clasped hands, my stare was like molten amber.

My jaw was tightly clenched. My body was tense, clearly trying to control my wolf’s possessive instincts. Evelyn stepped to the side, blocking between me and Lucas with Olivia. She formed a clear dividing line. Her attitude was unmistakable: I was an outsider. She was protecting Lucas, who was their chosen family. The pain in my eyes deepened. My Alpha heart was fracturing.

At this moment, I could do nothing but watch Lucas lead Olivia past me. Our mate bond stretched painfully. Standing there, I couldn’t help but clench my fists. My wolf was howling silently.

In the depths of my agonized eyes was a strong emotion for Olivia and an even stronger possessiveness than

before.

I knew that what Evelyn said was true, and I couldn’t refute it. I was guilty, deeply guilty.

But I could make amends and was willing to spend my life atoning. As long as Olivia and her mother were willing to give me a chance, I could do everything possible to treat them well.
