Chapter 119: Fragile Spirits and Shattered Peace

(Lucas's POV)

| paced outside the therapy room, checking my watch every few seconds.

Forty-five minutes had passed since Olivia went in with Dr. Nora Xu.

My phone buzzed with messages from my pack, but | ignored them all. Right now, nothing mattered except

making sure Olivia was okay.

The door finally opened, and Dr. Xu emerged alone. Her expression was grave as she gestured forto join her

in a small consultation room across the hall.

"How is she?" | asked immediately, not bothering with pleasantries.

Dr. Xu sighed, removing her glasses and rubbing the bridge of her nose. "Not good, Alpha Blackwood. Ms.

Winters is experiencing severe psychological trauma."

My stomach tightened. "Telleverything."

"She's exhibiting clear signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, complicated grief, and depression," Dr. Xu

explained. "The incident at Silvermoon River wasn't her first suicide

attempt."

| felt the blood drain from my face. “What?”

"She confirmed that jumping into the river was deliberate," Dr. Xu said quietly. "And based on our session, |

believe she's still at high risk."

| clenched my fists, fighting to maintain my composure. "What can | do? How can | help her?"

Dr. Xu's expression softened slightly. "She needs medication, which I've

prescribed. Regular therapy sessions are essential. But most importantly, she needs constant companionship

right now."

She leaned forward, her voice firm. "She cannot be left alone, Alpha Blackwood. Not even for

short periods."

| nodded, taking mental notes. "What else?"

“Keep her in a positive environment, away from pack politics and especially away from Alpha Stone and Victoria

Frost," Dr. Xu continued. "Any interaction with them could trigger another

crisis."

Her eyes met mine directly. "And most critically, protect her from anything related to her

daughter's remains. That's her most vulnerable point."

| frowned, confused. "Her daughter's remains?"

"The ashes," Dr. Xu clarified. "Ms. Winters is terrified something will happen to them. It's the

last physical connection she has to her daughter."

The door opened behind us, and Olivia stepped in. Her emerald eyes were dull, her face pale,

but she maintained a composed exterior that broke my heart. | knew what it cost her to

appear so controlled.

"Are you ready to go?" she asked quietly.

| stood immediately, offering her a gentle smile. "Whenever you are."

Dr. Xu handed Olivia a small paper bag containing her prescriptions. "Remember what we

discussed. I'll see you in three days."

Olivia nodded, clutching the bag tightly. "Thank you, Dr. Xu."

As we walked to my SUV, | kept close to her side without touching her. She

seemed fragile, like

a porcelain doll that might shatter at the slightest pressure.

"Where would you like to go?" | asked as we settled into the vehicle. "Back to your cottage?"

Olivia shook her head quickly, panic flashing across her face. "No. Not there. Not yet."

"Okay," | said soothingly. "How about something completely different? Something fun?"

She looked atskeptically. "Fun?"

| started the engine, an idea forming. "Trust me?"

After a moment's hesitation, she nodded.

Twenty minutes later, we pulled into the Shadow Creek Indoor Entertainment Complex. Olivia

looked confused as I led her inside the massive facility.

"Go-karts?" she asked, eyeing the track where small vehicles zoomed around

curves.

| shrugged, trying to keep things light. "Why not? Nothing clears the mind like a little speed

and competition."

For a moment, | thought she might refuse. Then, to my surprise, a tiny smile tugged at her

lips. "I haven't done anything like this since college."

"Perfect tto remember how," | said, guiding her toward the ticket counter.

Soon we were racing around the track, the roar of engines drowning out everything else. | watched Olivia's face

transform as she focused on navigating

the curves, her emerald eyes lighting up with concentration.

By our third race, she was actually laughing as she cutoff at a turn.

"That's cheating!" | called out, pretending outrage.

"That's strategy!" she shot back, her voice lighter than I'd heard it in days.

We moved from go-karts to archery, where Olivia surprisedwith her precision. Each arrow

she loosed hit close to the center, her form perfect.

"Where did you learn to shoot like that?" | asked, impressed.

A shadow crossed her face. "I took classes when | was pregnant with Lily. |

wanted to teach

her when she was old enough."

| cursed myself for the thoughtless question, but Olivia shook her head.

"It's okay," she said softly. "Not every memory of her hurts. Sare beautiful."

As we tried different activities throughout the afternoon, | watched Olivia carefully.

The

moments of joy were real but fleeting, like sunlight breaking through storm clouds only to be

swallowed again by darkness.

Between activities, | checked my phone, reviewing information my contacts had sent about

Lily's medical records. What | found disturbeddeeply.

Someone had deliberately erased hospital records about both Lily and Emma's kidney procedures. The timing of

the deletions coincided with Ethan Stone's visit to the medical

archives. He was covering up Victoria's manipulation of the donor situation-a manipulation

that had cost Lily her life.

| felt sick with anger but kept my expression neutral. Olivia didn't need more darkness today.

By evening, | could see exhaustion setting in. Olivia's shoulders drooped, and the light that had

briefly returned to her eyes was fading.

"You need rest," | said gently as we walked back to my SUV. "And somewhere

safe to sleep

tonight."

She nodded, too tired to argue. "I don't want to go back to my cottage."

"The Silver Crown Hotel is nearby," | suggested. "It's a Blackwood Pack Enterprises property. |

can ensure your privacy and safety there."

Olivia hesitated, then agreed. "Just for tonight."

At the hotel, | arranged the Presidential Suite for her and took the adjacent room

for myself. | wanted to be immediately available if she needed anything during the

night.

"Thank you," she said quietly as we stood outside her door. "For everything

today."

| resisted the urge to touch her face, to brush away the strand of hair that had

fallen across

her cheek. "Try to get srest. I'm right next door if you need anything."

She nodded, offering a small smile before disappearing into her suite.

| entered my own room and immediately called the hotel security team, instructing

them to

monitor all access to Olivia's floor. No one-especially not Ethan Stone or Victoria Frost-was

to be allowed near her.

Then | called Dr. Xu to update her on Olivia's condition and confirm our next steps. The

medication would take tto work, but the distraction had helped today. It was a

start.
