(Evelyn's POV)
The sterile scent of the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den filled my nostrils as | considered my options. My body felt
weak, but my resolve remained strong.
"I'll have the surgery," | announced, my voice steadier than | expected.
Relief washed over Olivia's face. The dark circles under her eyes spoke of sleepless nights spent worrying about
me.
"Thank you, Mom," she whispered, squeezing my hand.
Dr. Harrison Fletcher nodded approvingly. "A wise decision, Mrs. Winters. We'll schedule you for tomorrow
morning."
As Olivia helpedsit up, | couldn't help but glance at Ethan Stone. The Ancestral Moonstone Amulet still hung
visibly around
his neck, catching the harsh medical den lights.
"Lethelp you back to your room," Olivia said, carefully supporting my weight as | stood.

My legs felt unsteady beneath me, but Olivia's arm around my waist provided the stability | needed. Each step
required
concentration, my body protesting after the recent episode.
Ethan stepped forward, his amber eyes fixed onwith unsettling intensity.
"Mrs. Winters," he said, his deep voice filling the small treatment room. "May | ask why you reacted that way to
my amulet?"
| paused, turning to face him fully. The question hung in the air between us, heavy with unspoken history.
"The moonstone has no problem," | replied, my voice laced with resentment as | gestured toward the amulet.
"The problem is
the person wearing it now. He is not worthy!"
Olivia stiffened beside me, clearly surprised by my vehemence.
Dr. Fletcher cleared his throat uncomfortably. "Mrs. Winters, | must point out that Alpha Stone has gone to
extraordinary lengths
to ensure your treatment. He personally arranged for the rare moonlight herb extract that will "
"Save your breath, doctor," | cut him off. "Doing one good deed doesn't erase a lifetof cruelty."
| turned my gaze back to Ethan, whose expression remained unreadable. "You can arrange all the special
treatments you want. It
won't change what you've done to my daughter and granddaughter.”
Olivia tightened her grip on my waist. "Mom, please. Let's just get you back to your room."
Dr. Fletcher opened his mouth to defend Ethan again, but the Alpha King silenced him with a subtle gesture of
his hand.
"It's alright," Ethan said quietly. "Mrs. Winters is entitled to her opinion."
He stepped aside, allowing the medical staff to escort us back to the ward. As we moved past him, | caught a
glimpse of something

in his eyes-not anger, but something deeper, more complex.
For a moment, | almost saw the shadow of that blind boy from long ago. (Ethan's POV)
Once Olivia and her mother were out of earshot, | turned to Dr. Fletcher, who looked uncomfortable with the
exchange.
"Alpha Stone, | apologize for Mrs. Winters' behavior. Her condition makes her-"

"No need to apologize," | interrupted, running my fingers over the moonstone amulet. "She has every right to her
anger."

Dr. Fletcher's expression shifted to one of confusion. He clearly hadn't expected this response from me.
"l indirectly caused Lily's death," | admitted, the words feeling like stones in my throat. "That's why Olivia and
her mother treat
The confession hung in the air between us. Dr. Fletcher remained silent, waiting forto continue.
"Lily was waiting forat Moonlight Fair on her birthday," | said, memories flooding back with painful clarity. "I
promised I'd meet her there, but | took Emma to Enchanted Kingdom instead. While Lily waited for me, her
condition worsened."
| closed my eyes briefly, remembering the frantic call from Olivia that ctoo late.
"By the t| arrived at the medical den, she was already gone," | continued, my voice hollow. "Olivia will never
forgivefor
that. And she shouldn't."
Dr. Fletcher's professional demeanor softened slightly. "Alpha Stone, children's health can be unpredictable. You
couldn't have
known-"
"I knew she was sick," | cut him off sharply. "I knew, and I still chose to be elsewhere."
The weight of my failures pressed down on me, heavier than any Alpha responsibility.
