Every time she’d called me back to the Imperial Gardens, I’d known it was intentional, yet I

She

I traced the outline of her face with my fingertips, memorizing every curve and contour. The soft arch of her eyebrows, the delicate slope of her nose, the fullness of her lips.

Her lips.

Morning sunlight streamed through a gap in the curtains, illuminating her face. Her lips had regained their color after a night’s rest, no longer the pale, bloodless things they’d been when I’d found her in the hospital.

My thumb unconsciously traced their outline, the gentle rise and fall of her breath against my palm a tantalizing sensation. I swallowed hard, my control slipping.

I tilted her chin up slightly, my lips descending in a fervent kiss. Initially, I tried to be gentle, not

wanting to wake her.

But Olivia’s eyes suddenly fluttered open. A momentary confusion cleared quickly as she realized what was happening. Her expression turned icy.

“Ethan Stone, get off me!” she demanded, her voice hoarse but firm.

I pulled back slightly, surprised by her vehemence. Her emerald eyes blazed with fury as memories of the previous night flooded back.

“How dare you touch me after what you did?” she spat, her voice trembling with rage.

Before I could respond, her hand connected with my cheek in a stinging slap. The sound

echoed in the quiet room.

My face darkened. “Olivia Winters!” I growled, my amber eyes narrowing.

“Get off!” she repeated, her voice even colder.

She struggled against me, but I wouldn’t budge, my strength easily overpowering her. My expression grew dangerous, and I could see fear flicker in her eyes.

She stopped struggling and pressed the call button for assistance. The revulsion in her eyes

was palpable.

The realization made my expression harden. I gave her one last look before getting out of bed, grabbing my Black Alpha Overcoat, and storming out of the room without a backward glance.

A pack healer rushed in immediately after Ethan left, her eyes wide with concern.

“Luna Winters, are you alright?” she asked anxiously, scanning me for any signs of distress.

It should have been me. It should always be me.

As dawn broke, I emerged from my room, exhausted but resolute. Emma had already dressed

herself and gone downstairs for breakfast.

Martha Wilson, our housekeeper, greeted me in the hallway. “Good morning, Ms. Frost. Emma

is ready for the Crescent Moon Training Den. Shall I call the driver?”

I nodded absently. “Yes, please do.”

Knowing I wouldn’t be taking her to the training den today, Emma hadn’t disturbed me. She

was a good girl that way, understanding when to give me space.

As soon as Emma left with Martha, I got in my car and drove straight to the training den. I needed to see Ethan, to force him to publicly acknowledge our relationship and Emma as his

daughter.

No more shadows. No more secrets. It was time for Ethan to choose, once and for all.

As I drove, I rehearsed what I would say to him. How I would remind him of our history, our bond, our love. How I would make him see that Olivia was manipulating him, using her injuries

to gain his sympathy.

It was time for Olivia Winters to learn her place once and for all.
