Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 116

Ethan’s expression changed instantly from anger to concern. Before I could fall, he scooped me up into his arms, cradling me against his chest.

I tried to struggle, but my strength had abandoned me. “Put me down,” I whispered, my

weak and trembling.

“Olivia Winters,” Ethan said in a low voice, “I don’t care what that pendant is, it doesn’t matter to me. But you, do you have to make me call Dr. Rebecca Winters to give you a sedative before you calm down and stop making a fuss?”

I met his impatient gaze, a sharp pain stabbing at my heart. How could he say it didn’t matter?

Of course, Lily had never mattered to Ethan when she was alive, let alone her ashes now.

Seeing that I had finally quieted down, Ethan carried me back to the Recovery Chamber. I didn’t struggle anymore; I was too exhausted, too weak to fight. The warmth of his body

against mine felt like a cruel reminder of what we once had, of what might have been if he had

loved our daughter as I did.

Back in the chamber, Ethan placed me gently on the bed. His phone rang with Victoria’s

distinctive ringtone, but to my surprise, he didn’t answer it. Instead, he turned and left the

room, presumably to retrieve the healing supplies Maxwell Chen had brought.

(Ethan’s POV)

I took Dr. Harold Bennett’s Rare Healing Salve from Maxwell at the door and returned to the

Recovery Chamber. Olivia was restless in her sleep, her brow furrowed with distress. I

assumed she was still shaken from the robbery, unaware of the true source of her turmoil.

I walked quickly to the bedside and took her hand in mine. Her skin felt cold and fragile, like

thin paper that might tear at the slightest pressure.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” I murmured, my voice softening instinctively. “Sleep well.”

These words had always comforted her in the past. Whenever she was afraid, my touch would instantly calm her. But now, they had no effect. She remained agitated, her breathing shallow

and uneven.

applied the salve, my gaze lingered on her bruised and battered body, my eyes filled with an

unspoken tenderness that contradicted my recent coldness toward her.

I didn’t understand why she had become so fixated on that pendant, why she would risk her

life for it. But seeing her like this, so vulnerable and broken, awakened something protective

within me that I thought had died long ago.

(Victoria’s POV)

I stood frozen in the doorway, watching the scene unfold before me with a mixture of jealousy

and disbelief.

Ethan’s hands moved across Olivia’s skin with a tenderness he rarely showed me, despite all

my efforts to win his affection. His face, usually so guarded around me, was open and

vulnerable as he tended to his true mate’s injuries.

The sight made my stomach twist with envy. No matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I could never compete with the bond between Ethan and Olivia.
