| swallowed hard, forcing down my pride. "Victoria, I'll do anything. Just don't harm her ashes."

Victoria looked down at me, savoring the moment of triumph. | could see the memory of her own humiliation at

this very cemetery burning in her eyes-where | had forced her to kowtow to Lily's grave after discovering she had

desecrated it.

"Anything?" Victoria's eyes gleamed with malicious delight. "Then bow to me. Not just kneel. Kowtow. Touch your

forehead to the ground."

Without hesitation, | bent forward, pressing my forehead against the cold earth. My wolf, driven by maternal

instinct, accepted the humiliation without protest. "Again," Victoria commanded, her voice cruel with pleasure.

"Lower this time."

| complied, bending until my face pressed harder against the rough ground. "Again!"

Each t| rose, she demanded another bow. Again and again, | kowtowed, my forehead scraping against small

trickled down my face, crimson droplets staining the sacred ground as my wolf surrendered completely to

maternal instinct.

"How does it feel, Olivia?" Victoria taunted. "To be nothing. To have nothing. Not even your

dignity."

| remained silent, focusing only on the urn in her hands. Nothing else mattered.

"Your precious daughter is dead, your mate prefers me, and now you're bleeding at my feet."

Her laughter echoed through the cemetery. "This is exactly where you belong."

Victoria finally toldto stop, her lips curved in a satisfied smile. She placed Lily's

Moonwood Ceremonial Urn on the ground between us.

"Thank you," | whispered, reaching for it.

Before my fingers could touch the sacred vessel, Victoria deliberately stepped on

it with her designer heel. The sound of cracking wood echoed through the night like a gunshot.

“No!" | screamed, lunging forward.

Victoria pressed harder, the delicate wood splintering under her weight.

"You couldn't protect Lily in life, and you can't protect her in death," Victoria taunted cruelly.

My hands hovered helplessly as she ground her heel against the precious urn. My wolf howled in anguish, the

sound trapped in my chest.

Victoria's voice dropped to a venomous whisper. "Did you know your husband was complicit in Lily's death?"

| froze, my blood turning to ice. "What?"

"Oh yes," she continued, her eyes glittering with malice. "That kidney donor that was supposed to save Lily?

Ethan redirected it to Emma."

The world seemed to tilt beneath me. "You're lying."

"Am I?" Victoria smirked. "Why do you think Emma recovered so quickly from her illness while Lily withered

away? Why do you think the donor suddenly bec'unavailable' for Lily's

surgery?"

My mind raced back to those desperate days, the frantic calls to Ethan that went unanswered,

the mysterious disappearance of the donor we had waited months to find.

"Your husband ignored your frantic calls during Lily's surgery while he was comforting Emma,"

she gloated, her words designed to shatter what remained of my will to live. "Even now, he

recognizes Emma as his true daughter, not your pathetic child who couldn't survive."

Each word was a dagger to my heart. | remembered how Ethan had been absent during Lily's final hours, how he

had claimed to be caught in an important meeting. The pieces were falling into place with devastating clarity.

“No,” | whispered, but the denial sounded hollow even to my own ears.

"Yes," Victoria insisted. "Ask him yourself if you don't believe me. Watch his face when you do. You'll see the

truth."

Driven to despair by Victoria's revelation about Ethan's role in Lily's death and her relentless taunts, |

momentarily lost my will to fight. My wolf retreated deep within, curling into itself as if mortally wounded.

| collapsed to the ground, my body shaking with silent sobs as the full weight of betrayal crushed me. The man |

had loved, the father of my child, had chosen another woman's daughter over our own. Had actively contributed

to our daughter's death.

Victoria, believing her work was done, turned to leave. "Goodbye, Olivia. Enjoy what's left of your pathetic life."

As Victoria walked away, something shifted inside me. A sudden surge of rage ignited within my chest, burning

away the despair. My wolf, driven by maternal fury and the primal need to avenge my pup, launched forward.

| pushed Victoria with unexpected strength, catching her completely off guard. She stumbled backward, her high

heels unsuited for the uneven cemetery ground.

"You b**¥*h!" she screamed, arms flailing as she tried to regain her balance.

In her desperate attempt to stay upright, her foot accidentally kicked Lily's damaged Moonwood Ceremonial Urn.

The sacred vessel tumbled, its cracked lid breaking open

completely.

Horror flooded throughas | watched the urn roll toward the edge of a rocky outcrop. Victoria, still struggling

for balance, followed it, her eyes wide with fear as she realized how

close she was to the steep drop.

"Help me!" she shrieked, reaching out.

But | was frozen, watching as the urn tipped over the edge, spilling Lily's ashes

into the night air. Victoria's scream echoed through the cemetery as she fell over the edge after them.

"Lily!" I cried out, rushing to the edge.

| could see Victoria below, moaning and clutching her ankle, but my eyes were fixed on the

scattered ashes being carried away by the gentle night breeze. My hands trembled as | tried desperately to

gather what remained, but it was futile.

My wolf howled in distress as | watched the last physical remnants of my daughter disappear

into the darkness. | clutched the empty, damaged urn to my chest, tears streaming down my

face and mixing with the blood from my wounded forehead.

Heartbroken and consumed by grief, | pulled out my phone and called Ethan. My voice was

hollow as | told him | needed to see him.

"Olivia?" His voice sounded slurred. "What's wrong?"

"I need to see you," | repeated, my voice devoid of emotion. "Now."

Ethan, clearly drunk at Moonlight Manor, sighed heavily. "I'll send Maxwell to pick you up."

When Maxwell Chen arrived, he foundstanding by the cemetery gates, my clothes stained

empty Moonwood Ceremonial Urn to my chest.

"Mrs. Stone," he said gently, his eyes widening at my appearance. "Lethelp

you."

My wolf's energy was so diminished that | could barely stand as he helpedinto the

vehicle. The drive to Moonlight Manor passed in a blur of grief and rage.

At Moonlight Manor, Ethan Stone was waiting in the entrance hall. His amber eyes widened

with concern when he saw my condition.

"Olivia, you're bleeding,” he said, reaching for me. "What happened?"

| pulled away from his touch, my body rigid with revulsion. "Don't touch me."

Confusion flickered across his face. "Lethelp you. You're hurt."

"How can you live with yourself after causing Lily's death?" | whispered, my voice

barely

audible.

Ethan froze, his hand suspended in mid-air. The shock and guilt that flashed across his face

confirmed Victoria's words. In that moment, | knew she had told the truth.

"Olivia, I-" he began, but I didn't let him finish.

In a fit of rage and grief, my wolf surged forward with one last burst of protective

fury. |

attack Emma, now kept as evidence.

eyes widened in shock and pain as the silver edge penetrated his flesh.
