Chapter 97: Reunion and Revenge

Chapter 97: Reunion and Revenge

(Olivia’s POV)*

Matriarch Evelyn’s words broke the dam I’d built around my emotions. Tears streamed down

my face as I collapsed against her frail shoulder.

“I hate her so much,” I sobbed, my body shaking uncontrollably. “Victoria took everything from me. She stole Lily’s chance at life, and now she’s trying to curse her spirit. How could anyone

be so cruel?”

Matriarch Evelyn’s weathered hand stroked my hair, her touch gentle yet firm. Her own tears fell silently as she held me.

“My poor child,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “My poor, sweet Olivia.”

I clung to her like a drowning woman to a lifeline. This was the woman who had protected me

when I first came to the Silvercrest Pack as a frightened child. She had stood between me and

those who would have cast me out for being an orphan with no pack connections.

“I’ve tried everything,” I choked out between sobs. “I’ve begged Ethan to listen, to understand

that our daughter is gone. But he refuses to believe me. He thinks I’m hiding her.”

Matriarch Evelyn’s grip tightened around me. “My grandson has failed you both terribly.”

Her words only made me cry harder. The validation of my pain, after years of being dismissed and gaslighted, was overwhelming.

“I want to kill her,” I admitted, the dark confession spilling from my lips. “Every time I see Victoria smiling, knowing what she did to Lily, I want to tear her apart with my bare hands.”

“Shhh,” Matriarch Evelyn soothed, though I could feel her body trembling with her own rage. “I understand your hatred, child. But I cannot lose you too.”

She pulled back slightly, her aged hands cupping my tear–stained face. Her eyes, though clouded with age, burned with fierce determination.

“I cannot bring our Lily back,” she said, her voice steadying. “But I will not let that woman escape justice for what she’s done.”

Hope flickered in my chest for the first time in months. “How? Ethan protects her. He’s assigned bodyguards to keep me away from her.”

Matriarch Evelyn’s expression hardened. “I may be old, but I am still the former Luna of this pack. My word still carries weight, especially with the elders who remember when I ruled alongside my mate.”

She wiped away my tears with her thumbs. “You must promise me something, Olivia. Promise you won’t take matters into your own hands. Let me handle Victoria.”

I hesitated, the thirst for revenge still burning in my veins.

“Promise me,” she insisted. “I cannot bear to lose you too.”

“I promise,” I whispered finally.

Matriarch Evelyn nodded, satisfied. “My grandson has proven himself unworthy of you. After years of neglect, after choosing that woman over his own mate and child, he has forfeited any right to your loyalty.”

Her words struck a chord within me. For so long, I had clung to the hope that Ethan would remember what we once meant to each other, that he would return to being the man I had fallen in love with.

“I will speak with him,” Matriarch Evelyn continued. “He will hear the truth about Lily’s death from me, and he will be forced to face what his blindness has cost.”

She reached for her mobile phone on the bedside table. “Hand me my phone, child. It’s time Ethan answered for his failures.”

I passed her the phone, watching as she dialed Ethan’s number with shaking fingers. The call

went straight to voicemail.

“He’s not answering,” she frowned, trying again. Still nothing.

After the fifth attempt, Matriarch Evelyn sighed heavily, the emotional toll of our conversation clearly weighing on her.

“Perhaps it’s for the best,” she murmured, her eyelids drooping with exhaustion. “I need to gather my strength before confronting him.”

I gently took the phone from her hand. “Rest now, Grandmother. We’ll try again when you’ve had some sleep.”

She nodded, her eyes already closing. “Don’t leave me, Olivia. Stay until I wake.”

“I will,” I promised, settling into the chair beside her bed.

As Matriarch Evelyn drifted into sleep, I felt a strange calm settle over me. For the first time

since Lily’s death, I wasn’t alone in my fight for justice. Someone believed me. Someone with power and influence was on my side.

I watched the rise and fall of the matriarch’s chest, hope and determination replacing the despair that had been my constant companion for so long.

(Ethan’s POV)

The newly constructed Moonlight Fair stretched before me, a testament to my determination. to make things right with my daughter. Colorful rides towered against the clear blue sky, and the scent of venison skewers and cotton candy filled the air.

“Is everything ready?” I asked Maxwell Chen, who stood beside me with a clipboard.

“Yes, Alpha King,” he confirmed. “The fair is complete down to the last detail, exactly as you specified.”

I nodded, satisfaction mingling with the guilt that had driven this project. Three months ago, I had found a stack of Lily’s drawings hidden in Olivia’s desk drawer. Simple childish sketches of the three of us at an amusement park–Lily on my shoulders, Olivia holding my hand, all of

us smiling.

The date on the drawings had struck me like a physical blow. They were from the day Lily had

waited for me at the old Moonlight Fair, the day I had promised to meet her but never showed

up.

“She wanted this so badly,” I murmured, more to myself than to Maxwell. “To ride on my

shoulders like other children with their fathers.”

Maxwell remained silent, knowing better than to interrupt my thoughts.

I walked toward the carousel, running my hand along the painted wooden horses. “I’ll make it

up to her. I’ll be the father she deserves.”

In my mind, I could see it clearly–Lily’s face lighting up as I lifted her onto my shoulders, her delighted laughter as we rode the carousel together, her small hand clutching mine as we

watched the spectacular light show I had arranged.

“She’ll forgive me,” I said with conviction. “Children are resilient. Once she sees how much effort I’ve put into this, she’ll understand that I truly care.”

Maxwell nodded, though something in his expression gave me pause. “I’m sure she will, Alpha King.”

I turned away, unwilling to acknowledge the doubt in his eyes. This grand gesture would work.

It had to. I couldn’t bear the alternative–that I had lost my daughter’s love forever through my own neglect.

“Make sure the light show is perfect,” I instructed. “It’s the centerpiece of the entire fair.”

“Of course, Alpha King. The technicians have been rehearsing for weeks.”

I checked my watch, impatient for evening to fall. Soon, very soon, Lily would see what I had created for her. And then, perhaps, she would call me “Dad” again with love instead of disappointment.

The weight of my failure as a father pressed down on me, but I squared my shoulders against it. I would make this right. I had to.

“She’ll come,” I said firmly. “Once she sees this, she’ll come.”

Maxwell’s silence spoke volumes, but I chose to ignore it. I had to believe that it wasn’t too late to be the father Lily needed me to be.

To ensure Lily would see my message, I had rented every digital billboard and advertising space in Shadow Creek. A video montage played continuously across the city–Lily’s drawings animated to life, interspersed with images of me at the fair, waiting for her.

“Your father loves Lily too!” the message proclaimed in bold letters. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there

before. Please give me another chance.”

Standing before one of the massive screens in the city center, I watched the message play, hoping it would reach my daughter’s eyes.

“Do you think she’ll see it?” Maxwell asked quietly.

“She has to,” I replied, my voice tight with emotion. “I’ve made sure it’s impossible to miss.”

I pulled out my phone and blocked all incoming calls except for Olivia’s number and any

unknown numbers that might be Lily calling from a friend’s phone.

“She’ll call,” I said with forced confidence. “When she sees how much effort I’ve put into this,

she’ll want to see me.”

Hours passed as I waited at the fair, my phone clutched in my hand. The sun began to set,

casting long shadows across the empty rides and game booths. Still, my phone remained

silent.

Frustration built within me. Why hadn’t Lily called? The message was everywhere–she must have seen it by now.

“Perhaps Ms. Winters is preventing her from contacting you,” Maxwell suggested hesitantly.

My jaw clenched. Of course. Olivia was keeping Lily from me, just as she had been doing for

months.

“She has no right,” I growled, anger replacing disappointment. “I’ve shown I’m willing to make amends. I’ve built an entire amusement park for our daughter!”

I paced the empty fairgrounds, my patience wearing thin. I had done everything possible to demonstrate my commitment to being a better father. What more could Olivia want from me?

“Call Ms. Winters,” I ordered Maxwell. “Tell her I demand to speak with Lily immediately.”

Maxwell nodded and stepped away to make the call. I continued pacing, my frustration

mounting with each passing minute.

When Maxwell returned, his expression was unreadable. “Ms. Winters didn’t answer, Alpha

King. I left a message requesting she contact you urgently.”

I snatched my phone from my pocket and dialed Olivia’s number myself. To my surprise, she

answered on the second ring.

“Olivia,” I began without preamble, “this has gone on long enough. I’ve built an entire amusement park for Lily. I’ve apologized publicly. What more do you want from me?”

“Nothing,” she replied, her voice eerily calm.

“Then stop keeping her from me!” I demanded. “Let me speak to our daughter!”

There was a pause, then Olivia’s voice came again, still unnervingly steady. “You want to see

Lily? Fine. You can see her.”

Her immediate acquiescence caught me off guard. “What?”

“I said you can see her,” Olivia repeated. “I won’t stop you anymore.”

Before I could respond, she ended the call, leaving me staring at my phone in confusion.

“She agreed?” Maxwell asked, clearly as surprised as I was.

“Yes,” I said slowly, trying to make sense of Olivia’s sudden change of heart. “She said I can

see Lily,”

A weight lifted from my shoulders. Finally, after months of separation, I would see my daughter again. I would hold her, apologize to her in person, show her how much I truly cared.
