Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 79

Chapter 55: The Matriarch’s Justice

(Matriarch Evelyn’s POV)

Ethan looked up, surprise flickering across his features before he composed himself.

“Grandmother,” he greeted, rising. “I wasn’t expecting you.”

“Clearly.” I replied coldly. “If you were, perhaps you would have prepared a better explanation for your actions.”

Confusion crossed his face. “My actions?”

“Don’t play innocent with me, boy,” I snapped, advancing into the room. “I found Olivia in that basement. I saw what you did to her.”

His jaw tightened. “That was pack discipline. She endangered Emma-

“She did nothing of the sort!” My voice cracked like thunder in the confined space. Tve investigated the matter thoroughly. Olivia was at Canis Enterprises that entire day, surrounded by witnesses.”

Ethan stared at me, momentarily speechless. “That’s impossible. The contact number-”

“Was hacked,” I finished for him. “A fact that could have been discovered with even the most basic investigation. But you were too eager to believe the worst of your mate, weren’t you?”

His amber eyes–so like my own–narrowed defensively. “Victoria wouldn’t lie about something like this.”

“Wouldn’t she?” I challenged, stepping closer. “Victoria Frost orchestrated that entire incident herself. She manipulated you, just as she’s been manipulating you for years.”

Ethan’s face hardened into stone. “You have no proof of that.”

“I don’t need proof to know what’s in front of my eyes,” I retorted. That woman has been systematically destroying your family while you stood by and allowed it.”

(Ethan’s POV)

My grandmother’s accusations felt like physical blows. I struggled to maintain my composure as she

continued her tirade against Victoria.

“Victoria would never harm Emma,” I insisted, clinging to this certainty. “She’s her mother.”

“A mother who uses her child as a pawn, Grandmother countered, her eyes flashing with righteous anger. *Just as she used your feelings for her to turn you against your true mate.”

Through the stone walls of the basement in Matriarch Evelyn’s Villa, Victoria’s enhanced hearing captured every word of our argument. I could almost feel her panic rising as she realized I wasn’t immediately coming to her rescue.

“Let me out!” Victoria screamed, her voice muffled by the thick walls and heavy door. “Ethan! Help me!”

The knowledge that Olivia had deliberately chosen this location, knowing Victoria’s paralyzing fear of snakes, sent a chill through me. This wasn’t the Olivia I knew–the gentle healer who couldn’t bear to see anyone suffer.

sn’t it?” she challenged “Why should Victoria be spared the very punishment you inflicted on Olivia? Or does your sense of justice only apply to some?”
