Chapter 79: A Looming Confrontation 

Chapter 79: A Looming Confrontation 

(Olivia’s POV)‘ 

I clutched the paternity test results in my hands, my emerald eyes flashing with determination. The clinical words on the page burned into my mind: “Blood type incompatibility confirmed. Subject A cannot be the biological father of Subject B.” 

My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin, hungry for justice. 

“After all these years,” I whispered, carefully folding the document. 

I placed it alongside Lily’s death certificate in my Crystal–Studded Designer Handbag. These 

papers were my weapons now. 

Lucas watched me from across my living room, his gray eyes filled with concern. 

“What will you do with this information?” he asked. 

I met his gaze without hesitation. “I’m going to expose them both at the ceremony. The entire pack will know that Victoria has been lying for years.” 

“They’ll try to stop you,” Lucas warned, leaning forward. “Ethan won’t let you humiliate him 

publicly.” 

“Let them try,” I replied, my voice cold as ice. “I’ve lost everything that mattered to me. What 

more can they take?” 

My wolf growled in agreement, no longer afraid. We had been broken and rebuilt stronger. 

“I’ll be nearby if you need me,” Lucas offered, his protective instinct evident. 

I smiled, genuinely touched by his concern. “Thank you, but this is my battle to fight.” 

My wolf howled within me, sensing that the time for justice was approaching. For Lily. For everything we had endured. 

(Matriarch Evelyn’s POV) 

The dining room at Stone Estate was bathed in golden light as I shared dinner with Olivia. Despite my failing memory, I could still recognize the pain behind her brave face. 

“The venison is particularly good tonight,” I commented, cutting my meat. “You should eat 

more, dear. You’re much too thin.”

Olivia smiled gratefully. “I’ll try, Grandmother.”

The doors swung open suddenly. Ethan strode in with his father, Richard. I noticed how Olivia’s 

body tensed immediately, her eyes fixed firmly on her plate. 

“Grandmother,” Ethan greeted, bending to kiss my cheek. “You look well today.” 

I didn’t return his smile. “What brings you here, Ethan? You rarely join us for dinner these days.” 

Richard cleared his throat loudly. “We’ve come to discuss the formal marking ceremony with 

Victoria Frost.” 

My hand tightened around my fork. “I will not attend a false mating ceremony,” I declared 

firmly. “Olivia is your true Luna.” 

Ethan’s jaw tightened visibly. “Grandmother, we’ve discussed this. Victoria and I- 

“Have disrespected pack law and tradition,” I cut him off sharply. “My answer remains no.” 

Ethan’s amber eyes flashed with frustration, his wolf bristling beneath the surface. 

“The ceremony will proceed regardless,” Richard stated coldly. “The date is set for the 26th. 

Emma will be formally acknowledged as part of the Stone bloodline.” 

I straightened in my chair, feeling my wolf’s ancient power stir within me. “The moon phase is 

spiritually inauspicious. I will not attend.” 

My wolf knew something was wrong. Even with my failing memory, I could sense the 

wrongness of this union. 

After they left, I turned to Olivia, suddenly feeling clearer than I had in months. “You should stay with me that day, Olivia. I sense conflict approaching.” 

She squeezed my hand gently. “I have responsibilities at Canis Enterprises. But thank you for 

your concern.” 

I could see the determination in her eyes. Whatever she planned, I prayed the Moon Goddess 

would protect her. 

(Victoria’s POV) 

My elegant living room at Rosewood Haven was filled with laughter as I celebrated with Ethan and Emma. After years of patience and careful planning, everything was falling into place. 

“Do 

you 

like it, Daddy?” Emma twirled in her new dress, her eyes shining with adoration. 

Ethan smiled, though I noticed it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “You look beautiful, Emmy.”

I sipped my champagne, savoring the moment. Soon, I would be officially recognized as the Alpha’s chosen mate. The Luna position that should have been mine years ago. 

“Will you come to my training den when other pups have their fathers visit?” Emma asked innocently, climbing onto Ethan’s lap. 

I saw how he stiffened, a flash of something crossing his features. Guilt, perhaps? His wolf whined softly. 

“Of course he will,” I answered quickly, shooting Ethan a warning glance. “Won’t you, darling?” 

Ethan nodded mechanically. “Yes, of course.” 

He checked his Alpha Phone, frowning slightly. “I need to make a call. Excuse me.” 

I watched him step onto the terrace, my wolf’s instincts on high alert. Something was bothering him. 

“Mommy, when will I officially be a Stone?” Emma asked, breaking my concentration. 

I pulled her close, kissing her forehead. “Very soon, sweetheart. Just a few more days.” 

On the terrace, I could see Ethan pacing as he spoke on his phone. His shoulders were tense, 

his free hand clenched into a fist. 

“What’s wrong with Daddy?” Emma whispered, following my gaze. 

I forced a smile. “Nothing, darling. He’s just busy with pack business.” 

But my wolf knew better. Ethan was still haunted by doubts about Lily. I needed to distract 

him, keep him focused on our future. 

When he returned, his expression was troubled. “I need to go,” he said abruptly. 

“But we were supposed to discuss the ceremony details,” I protested, reaching for his arm. 

He pulled away. “Tomorrow. I’ll call you tomorrow.” 

I watched him leave, my triumph suddenly tasting bitter. He was going to her again. I could 

sense it. 

(Ethan’s POV) 

I drove to Maple Grove, my wolf restless beneath my skin. Maxwell’s report had disturbed me 

more than I wanted to admit. 

Using my Alpha authority, I entered Olivia’s apartment. Her scent hit me immediately – 

moonflowers and grief, a combination that made my wolf whine.

I followed the scent to her bedroom, where I found Lily’s Memorial Portrait on the nightstand. The photograph showed a small, frail girl with my eyes and Olivia’s smile. 

The moonflowers surrounding the frame remained fresh despite the passing of time werewolf tradition for honoring the deceased. 

– 

My wolf whined in confusion as I stared at the image. If Lily was truly gone, why couldn’t I remember her funeral? And if she wasn’t, why would Olivia create such an elaborate deception? 

I picked up the frame, my fingers tracing the child’s face. Something about her eyes – my eyes 

stirred a memory just beyond my reach. 

– 

“Where are you, Lily?” I whispered, my wolf howling with a grief I didn’t understand. 

I set the portrait down carefully and searched the apartment for more evidence. In a drawer, I found a small stuffed wolf, worn with age and love. 

The tag read: “To Lily, Happy Birthday, Love Daddy.” 

I didn’t remember buying it. I didn’t remember giving it to her. But it was in my handwriting. 

My phone rang – Victoria calling again. I silenced it, suddenly unable to bear her voice. 

What had I done? What had I forgotten? 

(Olivia’s POV) 

On the morning of the ceremony, I stood before my mirror, assessing my appearance with 

critical eyes. 

The pristine white dress and coat I’d chosen symbolized both mourning and purity in werewolf 

culture. The elders would understand the message immediately. 

My chestnut hair fell in soft waves around my shoulders. My emerald eyes were clear and 

determined, no longer clouded by tears. 

I carefully placed Lily’s death certificate and Emma’s paternity test results into my 

Crystal–Studded Designer Handbag. These papers would change everything. 

My wolf was unusually calm, having moved beyond grief to cold determination. We had 

suffered enough – watched as Victoria took everything that should have been ours, as Ethan 

neglected our daughter in favor of another man’s child. 

“Today, Lily,” I whispered to my daughter’s portrait. “Today we get justice.” 

I touched the Memorial Portrait gently before turning away. My phone buzzed with a message

from Lucas: “Are you sure about this?” 

I typed back quickly: “More sure than I’ve ever been.” 

With a deep breath, I grabbed my keys and walked out the door. My wolf moved with purpose, no longer afraid of the confrontation ahead. 

The time for hiding in the shadows was over. Today, I would step into the light and speak the truth, no matter the consequences. 

With my head held high and my wolf’s strength flowing through me, I drove towards the 

Silvercrest Pack House, ready to confront the Alpha King with the truth that would shatter his 

carefully constructed world.
