I felt my frustration mounting. Why couldn’t she see that I was trying? That I wanted to be a

better father to Lily?

“What do you want from me, Olivia?” I demanded. “I’ve admitted I was wrong. I want to

apologize to Lily personally. What more can I do?”

Her emerald eyes locked with mine, burning with an intensity that made me take a step back.

“What about Emma?” she asked, her voice dangerously quiet. “What happens to her now that

you know the truth?”

I blinked, caught off guard by the question. “This is between me and Lily. Emma doesn’t need

to be involved.”

“Doesn’t need to be involved?” Olivia’s voice rose incredulously. “She lied about being pushed!

She let Lily take the blame and punishment!”

I shook my head, defensive instincts kicking in. “She’s just a child, Olivia. Children lie

sometimes. They make mistakes.”

“And Lily? Wasn’t she just a child too?” Olivia’s eyes flashed dangerously. “A child you

punished without hearing her side. A child you left standing in the sun with a fever while you

comforted her bully.”

I felt my temper rising, my Alpha aura flaring in response to her challenge. “What do you want

me to do? Punish Emma now? Would that satisfy you?”

“I want justice for Lily,” Olivia insisted, standing her ground despite my intimidating presence.

“I want Victoria and Emma to acknowledge what they did.”

My patience snapped. “This is ridiculous. Emma made a childish mistake years ago. Victoria

had nothing to do with it.”

“Victoria has everything to do with it!” Olivia shouted, her composure finally breaking. “She’s been poisoning you against Lily and me from the beginning!”

I felt my Alpha aura expanding, filling the small cottage with my anger and frustration. The windows rattled slightly, and I saw Olivia flinch despite her defiance.

Victoria’s manipulations–threatened to overwhelm me.

“You’re being unreasonable,” he growled, his voice barely human. “Emma is a child. She made

a mistake. It doesn’t warrant this level of vengeance.”

“Vengeance?” I echoed incredulously. “Is that what you think this is? I’m not asking for

vengeance, Ethan. I’m asking for accountability.”

He shook his head dismissively, already turning away from me. “This conversation is

pointless. You’re too blinded by your hatred for Victoria and Emma to be rational.”

The accusation stung, but I refused to back down. “And you’re too blinded by your infatuation

with them to see how they’ve manipulated you.”

Ethan’s jaw clenched, a muscle ticking visibly as he fought to control his temper. “I’m done

with this discussion. I came here to see Lily, and I will see her–with or without your

permission.”

He stormed toward the door of Maple Grove, his broad shoulders rigid with anger.
