had failed Lily in every possible way.

“I made the call,” I admitted, my voice hollow. “I told Nathan to do whatever was necessary to

save Emma.”

I released Victoria’s wrists and stepped back, unable to bear her touch any longer. The weight

of my guilt was crushing.

“I didn’t know about Lily then,” I continued. “But that’s no excuse. I should have been there for her. I should have kept my promise.”

Victoria reached for me, her eyes still wet with tears. “We both made mistakes, Ethan. But we

can make it right.”

She took a tentative step toward me. “I’ll go to Olivia. I’ll apologize. I’ll even atone with my life

if that’s what she wants.”

“No.” My voice was firm, carrying the unmistakable command of an Alpha. “You will not

contact Olivia. Not now, not ever.”

Victoria flinched at my tone. “But Ethan-”

“I will speak to her myself,” I said, cutting her off. “I will formally mark her as my Luna, giving

her the legitimate status in the pack she deserves.”

Victoria’s eyes widened in shock. “What? But what about us? What about Emma?”

“Emma will always be important to me,” I assured her. “But Olivia is my true mate, the mother

of my child. I’ve failed them both for too long.”

I turned toward the door, unable to look at Victoria any longer. The woman I had protected and

cherished for years now seemed like a stranger to me.

“I’m sorry,” I said simply, my Black Alpha Overcoat swirling around me as I strode out.

I left Victoria standing there, her expression a mixture of shock and fury. But I couldn’t concern

myself with her feelings now. I had a mate to win back, and years of neglect to make up for.

(Olivia’s POV)

I cradled my phone against my ear as I stirred the pot of venison stew simmering on my

stove. The rich aroma of herbs filled my cottage at Maple Grove.

“How are you feeling today?” I asked, my emerald eyes reflecting genuine concern. “Any

better?”

Lucas Blackwood’s deep voice came through the speaker. “The fever’s gone, but I still don’t have much of an appetite.”

I frowned slightly. “You need to eat to regain your strength. The silver poisoning took a lot out

of you.”

“I know,” he sighed. “Hospital food isn’t exactly appetizing, though.”

I smiled despite myself. “I could prepare something for you. I have some special herbs that

would help with your recovery.”

There was a pause on the other end of the line. “Would you mind if I came to you instead?” Lucas asked, his voice revealing his desire to dine with me rather than simply receiving food. “I’ve been cooped up in that hospital room for days. Some fresh air would do me good.”
