Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 175

A soft hand squeezed mine, and for a moment, hope flared in my chest. But when I turned my head, ignoring the sharp pain the movement caused, I saw Victoria Frost sitting beside my

bed.

The disappointment I felt surprised me. After everything Olivia had done–after she had left me bleeding on her doorstep–why would I expect her to be here? Why would I want her to be?

Victoria’s eyes were red–rimmed, her usually perfect makeup smudged from tears. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a hasty ponytail, so unlike her usual polished appearance.

“Ethan, you finally woke up,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. “Ethan, what’s wrong? How did you get yourself into this state? Do you know how heartbroken I was to see you hurt like

this?!”

I stared at her for a long moment, memories flooding back. The cemetery. The freezing water.

of the Moonlit Reflection Pool. Olivia’s cottage. The vase striking my temple.

And before all that–Lily. My daughter. Dead for five years while I believed she was hidden

away by her mother.

I reached out, grasping Victoria’s hand tightly. “Lily is dead,” I stated flatly, watching her face

carefully.

I wasn’t sure why I felt the need to test her. Victoria had been my closest confidante since

childhood. I trusted her implicitly.

I remembered how she had cried for days when our neighbor’s dog was poisoned. How she had nursed injured birds back to health. How she had always shown such compassion for those who suffered.

Surely someone with such a tender heart couldn’t be responsible for my daughter’s death, as Olivia claimed. It was impossible. Victoria would never harm a child–especially not Lily.
