Chapter 57: Confrontations and Decisions

(Olivia’s POV)

No matter whether he let me whip him in the Stone Ancestral Hall, or was now gently caring for my wounds, I knew the truth. The purpose was simply to soften my heart, to make me voluntarily agree to release Victoria

Frost

Five years ago, I would have fallen for it. I would have interceded for him whenever Matriarch Evelyn wanted to punish Victoria. I had loved my mate so pathetically back then, my wolf completely devoted to him despite his neglect

Not anymore. Lily’s death had changed everything.

“Victoria is suffering.” Ethan said, interrupting my thoughts. “She’s a concerned mother, worried about Emma.”

My face darkened completely, emerald eyes flashing with suppressed rage. “I’ll say it again, if you want me to release Victoria early from that basement, keep dreaming.”

I threw off the moonlight thermal blanket and got up despite my weakness. My bandaged fingers throbbed

with pain as I stood.

Ethan moved quickly, trying to stop me. “You’re still weak. The doctor said=”

“Don’t touch me,” I hissed, pushing him away. My voice was cold as ice.

I headed for the door, determined to put distance between us. Before I could reach it, a distinctive ringtone filled the room.

Ethan’s Alpha phone was ringing. He answered immediately, his face softening as Emma’s voice came through.

“Daddy, where’s mommy?” The child was crying hysterically. “I want mommy, where is she?”

“Don’t worry, princess,” Ethan soothed. “Your mother will be at the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den soon. I

promise.

He hung up and grabbed his jacket, heading for the door without another glance in my direction.

I moved quickly, my bandaged hand gripping his arm. “Victoria’s punishment time isn’t up yet.”

Ethan pulled away from my grasp, his amber eyes cold as winter. “Enough, stop making trouble!” he growled,

and left.

I stood frozen, watching him choose Victoria yet again. Some things never change.

From the landing, I watched as Matriarch Evelyn intercepted him downstairs. Her elderly frame still

commanded respect from the Alpha King.

“The punishment isn’t complete, she stated firmly.

Ethan’s face hardened. “Victoria has been punished enough.”

“Has she?” Matriarch Evelyn’s voice was sharp. “After everything she’s done?”

Ethan sighed impatiently. “I won’t do it again in the future.”

With that single sentence, he dismissed all the suffering I had endured in the Shadowcrypt Dungeon, Matriarch Evelyn’s expression darkened completely, her wolf’s disapproval obvious in her eyes.

(Matriarch Evelyn’s POV)

I stared at my grandson, barely recognizing the man he had become. The boy I raised would never have been so callous

“Let me ask you one last time about your feelings toward Olivia,” I said, keeping my voice steady despite my disappointment. “If you have no interest in your true mate, I will arrange meetings with eligible Alphas from allied packs for her.”

Ethan paused briefly, his wolf bristling at my words. His eyes flickered up to where Olivia stood on the second–floor landing.

“Grandmother, don’t waste your effort,” he sneered. “She won’t accept another Alpha.”

The certainty in his voice was absolute. He truly believed Olivia’s wolf was too deeply bonded to his to consider another mate, despite their troubled relationship.

I followed his gaze to Olivia, noting the hurt that flashed across her face before she masked it. I had been

testing my grandson by mentioning potential meetings with other Alphas, hoping to provoke some protective

instinct.

Instead, he chose Victoria without hesitation.

My decision was made.

I approached Olivia slowly, climbing the stairs with deliberate steps. “My dear, I will find you a worthy Alpha who will appreciate your strength.”

Olivia shook her head, her wolf instinctively recoiling. “No, Grandmother. I don’t want another mate.”

“I understand,” I said gently. “But I want someone to protect you, especially since I won’t be around forever.”

I took her bandaged hands in mine, careful not to cause pain. “Promise me you’ll at least meet with the Alpha

I’ve chosen. For my peace of mind.”

Her emerald eyes searched mine, finding only genuine concern. Finally, she nodded. “For you, Grandmother.”

Her wolf whined in distress at the mere thought, but her rational mind had made its choice.

(Ethan’s POV)

I returned to the Shadowcrypt Dungeon where Victoria was being held. The Shadow Guard, following

Grandmother’s instructions, didn’t stop me this time.

When I opened the door, the sight before me stopped my heart.

Victoria, who feared snakes above all else, was lying on the ground with several vipers crawling on and around her. Her pupils were dilated with terror, her wolf completely subdued by primal fear.

Upon seeing me, she whispered my name with her last breath, reaching for me weakly.

“Ethan… help me…”

I rushed to her, kicking snakes away as I lifted her into my arms. Her body was cold, trembling violently

2/5

against mine.

I carried her out, kicking two of The Shadow Guard on my way. “If she dies, none of you will live to see

tomorrow” I snarled.

Their faces remained impassive, but I didn’t care. My only focus was getting Victoria to safety

I rushed her to the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den, her fragile form cradled against my chest.

(Victoria’s POV)

After examination, the doctor confirmed I was physically fine but mentally distressed. My wolf was still

cowering within me, traumatized by the snakes.

“Emma,” I whispered weakly. “I need to see my daughter. She’ll cry without me

Ethan nodded, his face tight with concern. He arranged for Emma to be brought to my hospital room immediately

When she arrived, my daughter flung herself at me, her small face wet with tears. “Mommy! I was so scared!”

“I’m here now, baby,” I soothed, stroking her hair. “Mommy’s here.”

Emma curled against my side, her small form pressed protectively against me. Soon, her breathing evened out as she fell asleep.

Once she was sleeping soundly, I collapsed into Ethan’s arms, allowing my trembling to intensify. “Why would she do this to me?” I sobbed. “She knows I’m terrified of snakes!”

Ethan’s arms tightened around me. “I don’t know”

“She wanted to kill me,” I continued, tears streaming down my face. Those snakes could have been

venomous!”

I felt his temperature dropping–a sign of his wolf’s rage. Perfect.

“She’ll pay for this, he growled softly.

I buried my face against his chest, hiding my smile. My plan was working perfectly.

(Olivia’s POV)

That night, I stayed in my own room in Matriarch Evelyn’s Villa rather than in Ethan’s private residence. Despite the moonberry sleeping tea Grandmother had arranged for me, I couldn’t sleep.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw visions of the Shadowcrypt Dungeon when I had been imprisoned there. The rats scurrying across my skin, their sharp teeth nipping at my flesh..

I finally took two herbal pills from my bag that I’d created from my healing crystal knowledge. The calming effect spread through my body slowly.

Eventually, I drifted into an uneasy sleep, my wolf restless and whimpering within me.

Suddenly, I was dragged from my bed by strong hands. Through the fog of medication, I heard Ethan’s voice.

“Olivia Winters, how can you sleep so peacefully?”

Still groggy, I struggled to clear my mind. My wolf was disoriented and defensive, sensing danger but unable to respond properly.

Clentes ST Contentation.

When Ethan turned on the light and grabbed my chin painfully, I finally regained clarity. I tried to pull his hand

nway.

“Let gol Ethan Stone, why are you acting crazy in the middle of the night?”

Ethan tightened his grip, his amber eyes glowing with anger. “You deliberately tortured Victoria with snakes despite knowing her fear!”

I laughed coldly, my emerald eyes flashing. “She could torture me with rats that I fear most, why can’t I torture

her with snakes she fears most?”

At the mention of rats, Ethan’s expression changed noticeably. His grip loosened

“Victoria put rats in there?” he asked, his wolf suddenly uncertain.

I pushed his hand away and stood up straight despite my exhaustion. “I don’t want to wake Matriarch Evelyn.

Get out.”

(Ethan’s POV)

Outside Olivia’s room, my phone vibrated. Victoria’s name flashed on the screen.

“Ethan? Are you there?” Her voice was deliberately soft and vulnerable. “I’m scared, I can’t sleep. Can you

come keep me company?”

Something about her timing felt off. “Did you know I went to confront Olivia?”

A brief pause. “What? No, I just woke up from a nightmare about the snakes.”

I decided to be direct. “Why did you put rats in the dungeon where Olivia was held?”

Another pause, longer this time. She must have realized there would be surveillance footage.

1… I did it impulsively,” she admitted. “Emma was hurt. I wasn’t thinking clearly.”

She played her trump card–her love for Emma. She knew how much I adored the child.

When I remained silent, my wolf conflicted, she softened her voice. “Please, Ethan. I need you. Come to the

medical den.”

My wolf paced restlessly within me. Something felt wrong about all of this.

“It’s late,” I replied curtly. “Go to sleep.” I hung up before she could respond.

I stood outside Olivia’s door, torn between anger and confusion. Using my master key, I quietly re–entered her

room.

Olivia was in the grip of a nightmare, crying out: “Don’t come near… go away…”

Her hands were flailing as if trying to drive something away. Her wolf was trying to protect her even in sleep.

“Ethan… Ethan… let me out… please…”

That single word–please–pierced my heart. My wolf whined in distress at my mate’s suffering.

I sat on the bed, gently wiping away her tears. Then I removed my outer clothing, got into bed, and pulled Olivia into my arms.

I stroked her back soothingly, my wolf instinctively curling around her protectively. Whether from the medication or my comfort, Olivia gradually calmed in my embrace.

She slept peacefully through the night, our wolves finding a momentary truce.

(Olivia’s POV)

The next morning, I was woken by a pack servant. I was surprised to have slept so well–something rare since

Lily’s death.

At breakfast, Matriarch Evelyn smiled at me over her tea. Tve selected a potential Alpha from the Moonstone

Pack for you to meet.”

Though uninterested in who it might be, I trusted my grandmother–in–law’s judgment, even as my wolf bristled

at the thought.

“Grandmother, I trust your taste,” I said, finishing my venison breakfast. “Whoever you choose won’t be bad. It’s getting late, I need to go to Canis Enterprises.”

I quickly gathered my things and left for work. I’d already taken one day off from my new position and couldn’t afford another absence.

(Ethan’s POV)

Around the corner from the dining room, I stood with a dark expression, my amber eyes glowing with suppressed rage as I replayed Olivia’s words in my mind.
