Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 163

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.”

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