The Alpha King is unavailable 115

(Olivia's POV)

"No!"

The scream tore from my throat as I watched Lily's remains disappear into the water below. My eyes, bloodshot and wild with desperation, tracked the crystal pendant's arc through the air before it vanished beneath the rippling surface of the Moonlit Reflection Pool.

"Lily..." I murmured, my voice breaking on my daughter's name.

Without thinking, I tumbled out of the hospital bed, ignoring the searing pain that shot through

my battered body. I rushed to the window, my heart pounding frantically in my chest. The

I leaned dangerously far out, my body already halfway through the opening. The cool night air

hit my face as I stared down at the shimmering water below. I was too late. The pendant

containing Lily's ashes had already disappeared beneath the surface.

Strong hands suddenly gripped my waist, pulling me back from the edge. Ethan's fingers dug into my skin as he yanked me away from the window.

"What the hell are you doing?" he demanded, his amber eyes blazing with anger and

confusion.

I pushed against his chest with all my strength, surprising both of us with the force of my fury. "Get away from me!"

My eyes burned with unshed tears as I shoved past him. I had to get to the pool. I had to find Lily's pendant before it was lost forever.
