Chapter 89: Rejected Advances 

(Victoria’s POV

I stood in the doorway of my bedroom, watching Ethan’s reaction as his amber eyes took in my appearance. The midnight blue nightdress had been chosen specifically for this moment- the silky material clung to every curve of my body, the neckline plunging low enough to reveal 

the swell of my breasts

Emma’s asleep,” he said, averting his gaze: I should get back to the pack house.” 

I moved forward with practiced grace, closing the distance between us. My arms slid around his waist as I pressed my body against his, looking up with undisguised longing

EthanI made my voice husky, inviting. Stay tonight, okay?” 

I was confident in my allure. After all, Ethan Stone had always desired me. We shared a history that predated his accidental mating with Olivia Winters. He had loved me first, had chosen me first. That bond couldn’t be broken by a mere technicality

I leaned in, tilting my face toward his. My scentdeliberately enhanced with a subtle perfume that I knew he likedsurrounded us both. My lips parted slightly, invitingly

Victoria.” 

His voice was calm and clear. There was no trace of conflicted desire in his amber eyes, only rational composure as he gently but firmly removed my arms from around his waist

I felt tears welling in my eyes, genuine confusion and hurt washing over me. What’s wrong?” 

Ethan took a step back, creating distance between us. I need to get back.” 

Ethan,” I whispered, a tear sliding down my cheek. Do you not want me because of what happened five years ago when you accidentally mated with Olivia? Do you find me repulsive 

now?” 

(Ethan’s POV

Victoria.My voice deepened with displeasure at her words

I watched as panic flashed across her face, her posture immediately shifting to one of 

submission. This was a side of Victoria I’d seen beforethe calculated vulnerability that 

emerged whenever she sensed my disapproval

Ethan, I’m sorry,she pleaded, her voice trembling. I shouldn’t have said that. Don’t be angry.” 

She lowered her stance submissively, her eyes wide and appealing. “You know I love you

We’ve loved each other since we were young. Why won’t you stay with me? You and Olivia are 

separated now. There’s nothing stopping us from being together.” 

I remained silent, momentarily stunned by her question. Why couldn’t I bring myself to be 

intimate with Victoria? I had told myself for years that I loved her, that she was the one I truly 

wanted

I didn’t dislike Victoria. I never minded that night five years ago when I was drugged and 

accidentally mated with Olivia. If anything, I blamed myself for not being there for Victoria 

when she needed me most

So why did I keep pushing her away

Victoria pressed closer, sensing my hesitation. Her hand came up to rest against my chest

her touch light but insistent. Ethan, please” 

I instinctively stepped back again, creating distance between us. Victoria, I haven’t found Lily 

yet. I don’t have the energy for this right now.” 

Relief washed over me as the words left my mouth. Yes, that was itI was preoccupied with 

finding my daughter. That explained my reluctance

Victoria’s expression softened with understanding. Of course. Lily is important, Ethan. I’ll wait 

for you.” 

I nodded, my mind already drifting to thoughts of my daughter. Where could she be? Why was 

Olivia hiding her from me

Goodnight, Victoria,I said simply, turning to leave Rosewood Haven

(Victoria’s POV

I watched him walk away, his broad shoulders disappearing down the hallway. The moment 

the front door closed behind him, my sympathetic expression vanished

My fists clenched at my sides, nails digging into my palms until small crescents of blood 

appeared. Rage bubbled inside me, hot and poisonous

Once again, Olivia Winters had come between us. Even in her absence, she managed to keep 

Ethan from me. And now this obsession with finding Lilya child who had never meant anything to him while she was alive

I had been so close. If I could just get Ethan to stay one night, to share my bed again, I might

conceive his son. A male heir would secure my position in the Stone family and the Silvercrest Pack hierarchy forever

But no. He was too preoccupied with Olivia and Lily to see what was right in front of him

My perfectly manicured nails dug deeper into my palms as resentment filled every fiber of my being

(Olivia’s POV

The Silvercrest Pack Medical Den was quiet at this late hour. Most visitors had gone home, leaving only essential staff to monitor patients through the night

I sat beside Matriarch Evelyn’s bed, gently bathing her face with a warm cloth. Her skin felt papery beneath my touch, fragile with age yet still bearing the dignity that had defined her throughout her life

There we go,I murmured, though I knew she couldn’t hear me. Let’s get you comfortable.” 

With practiced care, I changed her into fresh clothes, moving her limbs gently to avoid causing 

any discomfort. I even took the time to comb her silver hair, arranging it neatly around her 

face

Excuse me, Mrs. Winters?” 

I looked up to see Sarah Jenkins, one of the medical assistants, standing in the doorway. Her 

expression was hesitant, uncertain

I can help with that if you’d like to take a break,” she offered

Before I could respond, Bernard Sheppard appeared behind her. The Stone family’s head butler 

assessed the situation with a single glance

Sarah,” he said quietly, I believe Dr. Fletcher was looking for you regarding another patient.” 

Sarah looked confused but nodded respectfully. Of course, Mr. Sheppard.” 

As she left, Bernard gave me a small nod of acknowledgment before withdrawing, closing the door softly behind him. I silently thanked him for his discretion. He understood my need to care for Matriarch Evelyn personally

Alone with the elderly woman once more, I took her hand in mine. Her fingers were cool, the 

skin thin enough that I could see the blue veins beneath

Grandmother,I whispered, leaning close to her ear. You have to wake up soon. Wanwan still needs you to protect me.”

I used the nickname she had given me years ago when she first welcomed me into the Stone family. Back then, she had been my fiercest advocate, defending me against those who questioned my suitability as Ethan’s mate

Now, with her mind fixed five years in the past, she remained one of my few allies in a pack that had largely turned against me

(Ethan’s POV

I arrived at the medical den shortly after ten, nodding to the night staff as I made my way to Grandmother’s private room. Through the small window in the door, I could see Olivia sitting beside the bed, her head bowed as she held Grandmother’s hand

The sight stirred something in mea complex emotion I couldn’t quite name. Olivia had every reason to abandon the Stone family after how she’d been treated, yet here she was, tending to Grandmother with genuine devotion

I pushed the door open quietly, but Olivia’s head snapped up immediately. Her emerald eyes met mine briefly before she rose from her chair

Grandmother,she said softly, addressing the unconscious woman, it’s getting late. I’ll go back now. I’ll come see you tomorrow.” 

She gathered her things, clearly intending to leave rather than share the room with me. The avoidance irritated me, though I couldn’t explain why

As she turned to go, I caught her wrist, my grip gentle but firm. Wait. I’ll take you back to Maple Grove. I have something to say to you.” 

Olivia’s eyes flicked meaningfully toward Grandmother’s still form, reminding me that this wasn’t the place for a confrontation. She pulled her wrist from my grasp

No, thank you,” she replied, her voice cold as she walked past me and out the door

I stayed with Grandmother for a while, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest. Dr. Bennett had assured me that her condition was stable, but seeing her like thisfrail and vulnerablewas unsettling

After ensuring that the night staff had clear instructions for her care, I left the medical den. My car automatically navigated toward Maple Grove, where I knew Olivia would have returned

I found her at her door, key in hand. She froze when she saw me approaching, her posture immediately defensive

What do you want?she demanded, quickly unlocking her door and attempting to slip inside

I moved faster, catching the door before she could close it. We need to talk.” 

I have nothing to say to you,” Olivia hissed, trying to force the door shut

I pushed back, my superior strength easily overcoming her resistance. This isn’t a request.” 

Olivia stumbled backward as the door swung open. Her emerald eyes flashed with indignation, her slender frame vibrating with anger

How dare you force your way into my home! Get out before I-” 

I came here tonight just to talk to you calmly about Lily,I interrupted, my voice firm. I want to see Lily!”
