Chapter 283

(Olivia's POV)

"Liv, let's start over."

Ethan's words hung in the air between us, his breath warm against my neck where our mating mark had once

been. The scent of

moonberry wine clung to him, explaining his uncharacteristic display of emotion.

| felt as if | had heard an absurd joke and couldn't help but sneer,

"Ha."

My wolf bristled beneath my skin, rage building with each second his arms remained around me. The audacity of

this man never

ceased to amaze me.

"Ethan Stone, how dare you say such a thing?" | kept my voice low, but each word dripped with venom.

His amber eyes, slightly unfocused from the alcohol, widened at my tone. He loosened his grip enough forto

step back,

creating distance between us.

"Reconcile with you?" | continued, my emerald eyes flashing with contempt. "Are all the wolves in the Northern

Territories dead? Should | be with a beast like you who sheltered and indulged the murderer who killed Lily?"

Every word | spoke was filled with bone-chilling hatred. Shatred can fade with the passage of time, but my

hatred for Ethan

Stone and Victoria Frost was growing day by day.

My wolf snarled within me, feeding on my rage. As long as | didn't avenge Lily, | would never let go of this

hatred.

(Ethan's POV)

1 met Olivia's hateful gaze, feeling the full force of her loathing. My amber eyes reflected my inner conflict as |

thought of her teaming up with Connor Blackthorn against Victoria, forcing Victoria to attempt suicide by cutting

her wrists with silver...

Yet | was not angered by Olivia's words. Instead, my wolf whined softly within me, recognizing her pain beneath

the rage.

"Liv, I know you still can't let go of Lily's death," | said, softening my voice. "You think Victoria killed Lily, so you

want her to pay for Lily's life."

The moonlight filtering through the cottage windows illuminated Olivia's face, highlighting the sharp angles that

grief had

carved into her once-soft features.

"But Lav, can we be reasonable?" | continued, my wolf projecting calming pheromones. "Victoria was wrong, but

she doesn't

deserve to die."

I ran a hand through my hair, struggling to find the right words. "She's already paralyzed, and this tshe

injured one of her

hands."

"So what?" Olivia interrupted with a sneer

Bonu

The moment | said that Victoria didn't deserve to die, her emerald eyes hardened with renewed hatred. | could

almost see her imagining driving her Crystal Dagger intoagain, as she had two years ago.

"Ethan Stone, what are you trying to say?" she demanded, her wolf's rage causing her eyes to glow faintly in the

dim light of her

cottage.

Her scent had turned acidic with fury, burning my sensitive nose. My wolf recoiled slightly, recognizing the

dangerous edge to

her anger.

"Are you trying to tellthat Lily is just dead, but your precious Victoria has lost the use of her legs and a hand,

and she is already very pitiful?" Her voice rose with each word. “What she lost is enough to pay for Lily's life,

isn't it?”

My tone also sank a bit, my Alpha energy pulsing subtly in response to her challenge. "Liv, you know that's not

what | meant.

Can't you really tell that I'm doing this for your own good?"

| was worried about Victoria, but | was even more worried about Olivia. My wolf whined with genuine concern.

Olivia loved Lily too much; she couldn't think rationally, her obsession was too deep. | didn't know how to make

Olivia try to let

go of the past.

"If you continue to be obsessed, this time, Victoria will be fine," | explained, trying

to make her understand the dangerous path she was on. "But if there is a next time, and Victoria really has

something happen to her because of you, have you ever thought

that you would also be implicated?"

My wolf paced anxiously beneath my skin. Did it have to be this way?

"Can you stop being so stubborn? I'll accompany you, let's try to let go, okay?" | reached for her hand, but she

pulled away as if my touch burned. "You have to know, you won't be so lucky every time."

(Olivia's POV)

| understood what Ethan meant. He was saying that two years ago, | pushed Victoria down the mountain,

paralyzing her. But

Victoria was magnanimous and didn't press charges, she letgo.

Two years later, he believed | bribed Connor Blackthorn again, forcing Victoria to attempt suicide by cutting her

wrists with

silver. And once again, Victoria didn't press charges and letgo.

My lips trembled with anger, my wolf howling with rage inside me. “Ethan Stone!!!"

| wanted to tell him the truth. | wanted to say that it was Victoria who threatenedwith Lily's Ashes Crystal

Pendant, saying

that she would crush Lily's remains and scatter her ashes. That's why | hated Victoria so much and pushed her.

But looking at Ethan, thinking about what he had just said, | felt a deep sense of powerlessness. My wolf

whimpered with despair.

How could Lily have such a father?!

My lips opened and closed, but in the end, | didn't say anything. | knew very well that it would be useless to say

it

+30 Bonus

Lily's ashes were still intact in the pendant. Ethan wouldn't believe me; he would only think that | was taking

every opportunity to frVictoria again.

| clenched my hands tightly, my claws threatening to emerge, and then slowly released them, forcing my wolf

back under control.

"Are you done?" | asked coldly. "If you're done, get out now!"

My scent turned cold and bitter with rejection. | wanted nothing more than for him

to leave, to take his pine and power scent with him and leavein peace.

Ethan's face darkened at my dismissal, his wolf bristling at being ordered from what should have been his

territory. The Alpha in him clearly wanted to assert dominance, to makesubmit.

"Olivia Winters, how can you be so unreasonable?" he demanded, his amber eyes flashing with frustration. "Have

you ever thought that if Lily knew in the afterlife, how sad she would be to see her mother becso extreme

because of her?"

The mention of Lily's non his lips sent a fresh wave of rage through me. How dare he use our daughter

against me?

"Ethan Stone," | replied, my voice deadly calm despite my wolf's rage, "if Lily knew in the afterlife, she would

only be sad to have a blind and heartless father

like you who can't distinguish right from wrong!"
