Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317

(Victoria’s POV)

“Ethan, it’s Olivia… she’s the one who beat me up like this.” My voice quivered as I leaned into Ethan’s strong arms outside the

police station.

Every breath sent sharp pains through my ribs. My face throbbed where that bitch had struck me repeatedly. I could taste blood in

my mouth, metallic and warm.

My wolf whimpered beneath my skin, projecting vulnerability pheromones that I knew would trigger Ethan’s Alpha instincts. I’d perfected this technique over years–appearing helpless always brought out his protective nature.

“She attacked me without provocation,” I sobbed, clinging tighter to his powerful waist. “I was just sitting in my wheelchair, waiting for you, when she came at me like a rabid animal.”

I cast a teary glance at Olivia over Ethan’s shoulder. Our eyes met, and I couldn’t help the flash of triumph that crossed my face. Even beaten and bloodled, I was winning. The Alpha King was holding me, comforting me he belonged to me.

Ethan’s amber eyes darkened with rage as he gently wiped blood from my split lip. His wolf surged beneath his skin, responding

to my distress.

“Is this true?” he demanded, turning to face Olivia.

She stood there, her emerald eyes cold and unyielding. Not a hint of remorse showed on her face. Her wolf stood tall within her, satisfied with delivering justice for her mother’s condition

Lucas Blackwood stepped forward, offering his Embossed Linen Handkerchiefs to Olivia. She took them without a word, methodically wiping the traces of my blood from her knuckles.

The silence stretched between us, thick with tension and aggressive pheromones. Then, without even glancing at Ethan, she threw one of the handkerchiefs directly in my face.

The soft linen landed on my cheek, sliding down to my lap. The gesture was so full of disdain, so deliberately humiliating, that for a moment I couldn’t breathe.

“You see how she treats me?” I turned to Ethan, fresh tears spilling down my cheeks. “Even now, she shows no remorse!”

My wolf snarled beneath my skin, furious at the public humiliation. “I want to call the Northern Territory Enforcers,” I insisted, my voice rising with indignation. “She can’t be allowed to get away with this!”

Ethan carefully helped me back into my Raven–Trimmed Wheelchair, his movements gentle despite the anger radiating from him. But when I reached for my phone, he placed his hand over mine, stopping me

“No,” he said firmly, his amber eyes reflecting inner conflict.

“What?” I stared at him in disbelief. “Ethan, look what she did to me!”

He shook his head, his jaw tight with tension. “With Lily gone, Evelyn Winters is Olivia’s only remaining family.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My wolf bristled with indignation beneath my skin.

“Connor Blackthorn acted out of loyalty to you,” Ethan continued, his voice low but firm. “And now Olivia’s mother is in a vegetative state because of it,”

The implication was clear: Olivia’s pain excused, if not justified, her actions against me. I felt genuine tears well in my eyes, a sense of betrayal washing over me.
