Ethan forced his lips against hers.
My heart shattered at the sight. My beautiful, strong daughter-reduced to enduring this man's unwanted
advances because of
1. me. Because my treatment at the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den gave him leverage over her.
The taxi driver, Martin, called after me, but his voice faded beneath the roaring in my ears. All | could see was

directly.
"Mrs. Winters," he began, his deep voice carefully controlled. "You should be resting-"
"After everything you've done to her and Lily!" | continued, cutting him off. My hands trembled, but not from
weakness-from
rage. "What kind of Alpha abandons his mate and pup for another she-wolf?" Olivia gripped my shoulders. "Mom,
please. You're not strong enough for this."
| shrugged off her hands, years of pent-up fury finally finding release. "What kind
of father misses his own daughter's final moments?" | spat, watching satisfaction bloom as Ethan flinched at the
mention of Lily.
"Do you even have a conscience? Or did you leave that behind along with your responsibilities to your true
family?" My voice
cracked with emotion.
Ethan remained silent, his amber eyes unreadable as he endured my tirade. His jaw tightened, the only visible
sign that
affected him at all.
"Mom, that's enough," Olivia pleaded, her emerald eyes filled with concern. "Let's get you back to the medical
center."

She wrapped her arm around my waist, supporting my weight. "Con, Mom. Let's get you back to the
medical center."

Olivia gripped my hands, her eyes desperate. "Mom, please reconsider. The surgery is your best chance."
"At what cost?" | asked softly. "Your happiness? Your freedom?”
“I'm fine,” Olivia insisted, her voice taking on a pleading quality I'd rarely heard
from my strong-willed daughter. "I still have
feelings for Ethan. I'm with him willingly."

Olivia. That's more than this Alpha has ever given you."
"She's my mate," Ethan growled, his voice dropping to a dangerous timbre. "And she will always be mine."
The possessiveness in his tone sent a chill down my spine. This wasn't love-it was ownership.
"A true mate cherishes his partner," | countered weakly. "He doesn't—"
My words died as darkness suddenly encroached on my vision. The world tilted alarmingly, and my legs gave out
