Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

(Olivia's POV)

After leaving the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den, I took a taxi

My phone rang, disrupting my thoughts. Eleanor Stone's name flashed across the

screen.

I considered ignoring it but knew that would only make things worse. With a deep breath, I answered.

"Olivia, you need to come to the Stone Estate immediately. We're hosting a pack banquet tonight and we're short-staffed," Eleanor said without preamble, her voice sharp with command.

I gritted my teeth. Despite being Ethan's mate and technically the Luna of the pack, I was treated like a servant by his family.

Im not feeling well," I began, but Eleanor cut me off.

"That's not my problem. Just be here in thirty minutes."

In the background, I heard a familiar voice-Victoria's honeyed tones asking Eleanor something about table settings. My blood ran cold.

"T1l be there," I said, my voice hardening with resolve.

If Victoria was at the pack house, then that's exactly where I needed to be. Roland Warner's dying words echoed in my mind: "Victoria didn't want to save her own daughter... She wanted Lily dead!"

I flagged down another taxi, my hands shaking with anger and determination. This was my chance to observe Victoria up close after learning what she'd done to Lily.
