(Evelyn’s POV)

I rushed toward my daughter and Ethan Stone, my legs trembling with each step. Despite my illness, maternal instinct propelled

me forward with surprising strength. The moonlight illuminated them clearly enough for me to see Olivia’s subtle resistance as

Ethan forced his lips against hers.

My heart shattered at the sight. My beautiful, strong daughter–reduced to enduring this man’s unwanted advances because of

1. me. Because my treatment at the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den gave him leverage over her.

The taxi driver, Martin, called after me, but his voice faded beneath the roaring in my ears. All I could see was my child being

manhandled by the man who had broken her heart and abandoned their daughter.

I reached them just as Olivia managed to push Ethan away. Without hesitation, I positioned myself between them, my frail body a

shield for my daughter.

“How dare you touch my daughter like that?” I demanded, my voice carrying surprising strength despite my weakened state.

Ethan’s amber eyes widened in shock. He clearly hadn’t expected to see me out of the medical center, much less confronting him

directly.

“Mrs. Winters,” he began, his deep voice carefully controlled. “You should be resting-”

“After everything you’ve done to her and Lily!” I continued, cutting him off. My hands trembled, but not from weakness–from

rage. “What kind of Alpha abandons his mate and pup for another she–wolf?”

Olivia gripped my shoulders. “Mom, please. You’re not strong enough for this.”

I shrugged off her hands, years of pent–up fury finally finding release. “What kind of father misses his own daughter’s final moments?” I spat, watching satisfaction bloom as Ethan flinched at the mention of Lily.

“Do you even have a conscience? Or did you leave that behind along with your responsibilities to your true family?” My voice

cracked with emotion.

Ethan remained silent, his amber eyes unreadable as he endured my tirade. His jaw tightened, the only visible sign that

affected him at all.

“Mom, that’s enough,” Olivia pleaded, her emerald eyes filled with concern. “Let’s get you back to the medical center.”

words

The burst of adrenaline that had carried me this far began to fade. My knees buckled as exhaustion swept through me. I swayed

dangerously, my vision blurring at the edges.

Ethan instinctively moved forward to catch me, but Olivia was faster. She stepped between us, her slender body a barrier between

me and the Alpha.

“Don’t you dare touch her,” Olivia spat, her emerald eyes cold with fury. “We don’t need your false kindness.”

She wrapped her arm around my waist, supporting my weight. “Come on, Mom. Let’s get you back to the medical center.”

I shook my head firmly. “No. I’m not going back there.”

“Mom, please-”

“I’ve made my decision,” I stated, my voice weak but determined. “I’m refusing the surgery.”

Olivia’s face paled. “What? No, you can’t!”

“I won’t be used as leverage against you anymore,” I insisted. “I won’t let him control you through me.”

Ethan stepped forward, his powerful presence impossible to ignore. “Mrs. Winters, be reasonable. Your condition requires-”

“My condition is my concern,” I interrupted. “Not yours.”

Olivia gripped my hands, her eyes desperate. “Mom, please reconsider. The surgery is your best chance.”

“At what cost?” I asked softly. “Your happiness? Your freedom?”

“I’m fine,” Olivia insisted, her voice taking on a pleading quality I’d rarely heard from my strong–willed daughter. “I still have
