Chapter 71: Shattered Bonds

(Olivia’s POV)

“b***h! You’re looking for a beating, aren’t you?!” The man’s voice cut through the darkness like a knife.

His large hands clamped down on my arm like iron pincers. The pressure was excruciating, but I refused to let go.

“You stupid b***h,” he growled, frustration evident in his voice. “It’s just a necklace!”

But it wasn’t just a necklace. It was Lily. My beautiful, sweet Lily who had died too young, whose ashes I carried close to my heart because I couldn’t bear to be separated from her.

The man’s grip tightened, his fingers digging painfully into my flesh. I bit my lip to keep from crying out, tasting blood.

When I still wouldn’t release the pendant, he resorted to kicking me. His boot connected with my ribs, sending waves of agony through my body.

“Stop,” I gasped, curling tighter around the pendant. “Please…”

He ignored my pleas, delivering another brutal kick to my side. I felt something c***k inside me, but still, I held on.

Each impact forced a cry from my lips, the sound echoing in the empty wilderness. There was no one to hear me. No one to help.

Ethan had abandoned me here, rushing to Victoria’s side without a second thought.

As the pain intensified, my thoughts drifted back to the day Lily died. Her small, pale face. The way her hand had felt in mine, so fragile, so cold. The beeping of the machines slowing, then stopping altogether.

“Lily, don’t be afraid,” I murmured through bloodied lips. “Mommy will protect you this time.”

I had failed to protect her in life. I couldn’t save her from the kidney failure that took her from me. But I would protect her now, even if it cost me my life.

Another kick landed on my back, sending shockwaves of pain down my spine. My vision blurred, darkness creeping in at the edges.

“Just… give… me… the… damn… necklace!” Each word was punctuated by another blow.

My strength was fading. My fingers, slick with blood, were losing their grip on the pendant. I tried to hold on, but my body was betraying me.

With a final, triumphant yank, the man tore Lily’s pendant from my grasp.

“No!” I screamed, the sound tearing from my throat. “Please! That’s my daughter!”

His response was swift and cruel. He kicked my hand away, his boot connecting with my fingers. I heard the c***k of bone before I felt the pain.

“Crazy b***h,” he muttered, pocketing the pendant. “It’s just a necklace.”

I watched helplessly as he mounted his motorcycle, the engine roaring to life. The sound faded as he sped away into the darkness, taking Lily with him.

Tears streamed down my face, mixing with the blood and dirt. “Lily…” I whispered, reaching out with a broken hand toward the empty darkness.

Then, mercifully, consciousness slipped away.

(Maxwell’s POV)

I arrived at the coordinates Alpha Ethan had given me, scanning the clearing in Desolate Hollow with growing concern. There was no sign of Luna Olivia.

“Luna Winters?” I called out, my voice echoing in the empty space.

Only silence answered me.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Alpha Ethan’s number. The call went straight to voicemail–unusual for the Alpha, who always answered calls from his personal assistant, especially regarding his mate.

I tried again with the same result. Something was wrong.

Alpha Ethan must be with Victoria Frost at Rosewood Haven, I reasoned. The situation with Luna Olivia was clearly more urgent than I had been led to believe.

I was about to call for backup when the sound of an approaching vehicle caught my attention. A sleek black car pulled up beside mine, and Lucas Blackwood stepped out.

Even in the dim light, his imposing figure commanded attention. His gray eyes were cold as they fixed on me. “Where is she?” he demanded, his voice carrying the authority of an Alpha, though he had no right to use that tone with me.

I straightened my posture. “I don’t know, sir. Alpha Ethan sent me to collect Luna Olivia, but she’s not here.” Lucas Blackwood’s expression darkened. “When did you last hear from Ethan?”

“About an hour ago,” I replied. “He said he had to attend to an emergency with Miss Frost and asked me to ensure Luna Olívia returned safely.”

A muscle twitched in Blackwood’s jaw. “An emergency with Victoria Frost,” he repeated, his tone making it clear what he thought of that.

He surveyed the clearing, his eyes narrowing as he took in the disturbed earth and broken branches. “Something happened here,” he said, more to himself than to me.

Without another word, he pulled out his phone and made a call. “I need the helicopter at these coordinates immediately,” he ordered. “And bring a medical team.”

My stomach dropped. “Medical team?”

Lucas Blackwood’s gray eyes met mine, cold and accusing. “Your Alpha left his mate alone in werewolf territory known for rogue activity. If she’s hurt, the blood is on his hands.”

I wanted to defend Alpha Ethan, but the words died in my throat. Because deep down, I feared Blackwood was right.

The helicopter arrived within minutes, its powerful searchlight cutting through the darkness. From the air, we scanned the surrounding area, looking for any sign of Olivia.

“There!” I pointed to a small figure lying motionless on the ground about half a mile from the clearing.

My heart raced as the helicopter descended. Before it had fully landed, I was already jumping out, running toward the still form.

Olivia lay crumpled on the ground, her chestnut hair splayed across the dirt. Even in the harsh light of the helicopter, I could see the blood staining her clothes.

“Olivia,” I called, kneeling beside her. She didn’t respond.

Gently, I turned her over, my breath catching at the sight of her battered face. Bruises were already forming, her lip was split, and dried blood caked her nose and mouth.

A surge of protective rage swept through me. Who had done this to her? And where the hell was her mate when she needed him?

I removed my black overcoat and carefully wrapped it around her small frame. She seemed even more fragile now, broken and vulnerable in that made my chest ache.

With utmost care, I lifted her into my arms. She weighed almost nothing, her body limp against my chest. “Get us to Silvercrest Medical Center,” I ordered my assistant as I carried Olivia to the waiting vehicle. “And call ahead. I want their best healers ready when we arrive.”

As we sped toward the medical center, I held Olivia securely, one hand checking her pulse. It was weak but steady.

“Hold on, Olivia,” I murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “You’re safe now.”

I had never felt such a fierce desire to protect someone before. This woman, the mate of my business rival, had somehow broken through my carefully constructed walls.

And I would make whoever hurt her pay dearly.

(Olivia’s POV)

I woke to the steady beep of a heart monitor and the antiseptic smell of the Silvercrest Medical Center. Every inch of my body ached, but the pain in my heart overshadowed all physical discomfort.

Lily’s pendant was gone.

A warm hand covered mine, and I turned my head to see Lucas Blackwood sitting beside my bed. His usually impassive gray eyes held a warmth I hadn’t seen before.

“You’re awake,” he said softly, relief evident in his voice.

I tried to speak, but my throat was dry. Lucas reached for a glass of water on the bedside table and helped me take a small sip.

“Thank you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.

Lucas’s expression was gentle as he set the glass down. “I’m sorry I didn’t get to you sooner.”

I shook my head slightly, wincing at the pain the movement caused. “You saved my life,” I managed. “I’m grateful.”

His large hand remained on mine, his thumb tracing small circles on my skin. The gesture was comforting, grounding me in the present when all I wanted was to slip back into unconsciousness and escape the reality of what had happened.

“The doctors say you have three broken ribs, a fractured wrist, and numerous contusions,” Lucas informed me, his voice tight with controlled anger. “Who did this to you, Olivia?”

Before I could answer, the door to my hospital room burst open. Ethan stood in the doorway, his amber eyes blazing with fury as they fixed on Lucas’s hand covering mine.

“Blackwood!” he growled, striding into the room and grabbing Lucas’s wrist. “Get your hands off my wife!”

Lucas rose to his full height, towering over Ethan. His gray eyes were cold as ice. “Where were you when she needed you, Stone?”

Ethan’s face contorted with rage. “That’s none of your business!”

“It became my business when I found her beaten half to death in the wilderness where you abandoned her,” Lucas replied, his voice dangerously calm.

Without warning, Lucas’s fist connected with Ethan’s jaw, sending him staggering backward. Ethan recovered quickly, his amber eyes glowing with rage as he prepared to retaliate.

I couldn’t let this happen. Despite the pain shooting through my body, I forced myself out of the hospital bed, stumbling between the two men.

“Stop!” I cried, placing myself in front of Lucas, shielding him with my battered body.

Ethan froze, his fist raised mid–air. His amber eyes widened as they took in my appearance–the bandages, the bruises, the way I swayed on my feet.

“Olivia,” he whispered, his anger giving way to shock. “What happened to you?”

I flinched away as he reached for me, hatred and betrayal burning in my emerald eyes. “Don’t touch me,” I hissed. “Don’t you dare touch me.”

Ethan’s hand dropped to his side. “Olivia, please-”

“Get out,” I interrupted, my voice stronger than my weakened body suggested. “I don’t want you here.” Lucas stepped forward, supporting me as my legs threatened to give way. “You heard her, Stone. Leave.” Ethan’s gaze darted between us, a mixture of confusion and jealousy crossing his features. “She’s my mate,” he insisted. “I have every right to be here.”

“You lost that right when you abandoned her,” Lucas replied coldly. “Now leave before I call security.”

For a moment, I thought Ethan would refuse. Then, with a final glare at Lucas, he turned and stormed out of the room.

As the door closed behind him, my strength finally gave out. Lucas caught me before I hit the floor, gently lifting me back onto the hospital bed.

“Rest now,” he murmured, his gray eyes filled with concern. “You’re safe.”

But I wasn’t safe. Not really. Because the one thing that mattered most to me–Lily’s ashes–was gone. (Ethan’s POV)

I paced the corridor outside Olivia’s hospital room, my mind racing. The sight of her battered body had shaken me to my core. Who had done this to her? And why was Lucas Blackwood by her side instead of me?

My phone rang, and I answered it immediately when I saw it was Maxwell.

“Alpha, we found him,” Maxwell reported. “The man who attacked Luna Olivia. He’s being held at the abandoned warehouse on the edge of town.”

“I’m on my way,” I replied, ending the call.

Twenty minutes later, I strode into the dimly lit warehouse. My security team had the attacker cornered, his face already bloodied from their interrogation.
