Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290

1 clutched the Ancestral Moonstone Amulet tightly and attempted to move past her toward the stairwell door. My heart pounded

painfully in my chest, still weakened from my earlier collapse.

“I’m taking this to my daughter,” I said firmly. “She deserves to know the truth.”

Victoria’s eyes narrowed, something feral and desperate flashing in their depths. Without warning, she propelled her wheelchair

forward with vicious force.

The heavy metal frame slammed into me, knocking the breath from my lungs. I felt myself falling backward, tumbling down the

concrete stairs.

Pain exploded through my body as I hit each step. My wolf whimpered, trying desperately to protect me, but my aging body couldn’t respond quickly enough.

As I fell, my gaze locked with Victoria’s. In that moment of terrible clarity, I understood everything

Victoria had stolen the amulet and used it to deceive Ethan, making him believe she was his childhood sweetheart instead of

Olivia. She had manipulated him, twisted his memories, and torn apart what should have been a true mate bond.

I landed at the bottom of the stairs, my body broken but my mind suddenly, painfully clear. With trembling fingers, I fumbled for my phone, managing to press the speed dial for Olivia.

“Olivia,” I gasped, my voice weakening as blood trickled from the corner of my mouth. “Victoria… Frost…”

Before I could say more, Victoria was beside me, snatching the phone from my hand. She ended the call, her eyes cold and calculating as she watched my wolf struggle to heal injuries too severe for my aging body.

“You should have minded your own business, old woman,” she said softly, tucking my phone into her pocket.

I tried to speak, to tell her that the truth would come out eventually, but no words came. Darkness crept in at the edges of my vision as Victoria calmly wheeled herself away, leaving me broken and alone at the bottom of the stairs.

My last conscious thought was of Olivia, I prayed to the Moon Goddess that my daughter would understand the fragmented warning I’d managed to give her.

(Olivia’s POV)

I was reviewing my latest healing crystal designs at my desk in Canis Enterprises when my phone rang. Seeing my mother’s caller ID, I smiled and picked up immediately.

“Mom? How are you feeling today?”

Instead of her usual warm greeting, I heard labored breathing that sent a chill down my spine.

“Olivia,” my mother gasped, her voice weak and strained “Victoria. Frost ”

Then nothing. The call disconnected abruptly, leaving me frozen in place.

My wolf surged beneath my skin, howling with protective instinct. Something was terribly wrong.

“Mom?”

?” I called into the dead line, my voice rising with panic. “Mom!”

I tried calling back, but the call went straight to voicemail. A wave of primal fear washed over me as I jumped to my feet, knocking over my chair.

Gregory Hayes looked up from his desk across from mine, his expression shifting from annoyance to concern when he saw my

face.
