Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

Chapter 3

(Olivia's POV)

But I didn't stop. Instead, I slapped Ethan across the face, my palm stinging from the impact. His head jerked to the side, amber eyes widening in shock.

"Don't you dare touch me," I hissed, stepping away from him.

The lobby of the Medical Den had fallen completely silent. Staff members froze, mouths agape at the sight of their Alpha King being struck by his mate.

Ethan's face darkened with fury. "Have you completely lost your mind?"

"Yes! I am crazy, are you satisfied?" I replied, clutching Lily's urn tighter against my chest. "We're done, Ethan. Our relationship is over."

Victoria gasped dramatically behind him. Emma's wails grew louder, the perfect soundtrack to her mother's performance.

"You can't just decide that," Ethan growled, reaching for my arm.

I stepped back, my voice steady despite the hurricane of emotions inside me. "I can and I have. For five years, I've watched you neglect our daughter. I've made excuses for you, lied to Lily about why her father never showed up."

"I was busy running the pack-"

"You were busy playing father to another child!" My voice echoed through the lobby. "You had time for Emma's recitals, her birthdays, her skinned knees. But you couldn't spare even an hour for your own daughter's final birthday."

Ethan's jaw clenched. "This is neither the time nor place—"

"When is the right time, Ethan? After you've forgotten Lily completely?" I held up the urn. "Our daughter is dead. She died waiting for you to love her."

"Stop lying about our daughter's life!" He said angrily. He still didn't believe me. "I'm leaving," I said, my voice dropping to a whisper. "Don't follow me."

With a final glare, my emerald eyes flashing with determination, I turned and walked away, leaving Ethan standing stunned in the medical den.
