Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

The Alpha King is unavailable 142

As I strode toward the emergency area, raised voices caught my attention. Turning a corner, I found a scene that made my wolf surge with protective rage.

(Ethan's POV)

Olivia stood with her back against the wall, her small frame dwarfed by my father's imposing presence. Elder Richard Stone loomed over her, his face contorted with anger.

"You have no right to be here!" he snarled. "After your disgraceful behavior at the banquet, you should be groveling for forgiveness, not parading around as if you still matter to this family!"

Olivia's emerald eyes flashed defiance despite her obvious exhaustion. "I'm here for Matriarch Evelyn. Nothing else matters right now."

My father's face darkened dangerously. "You dare speak to me with such disrespect? I was Alpha of this pack before you were born, girl!"

"And I am Matriarch Evelyn's granddaughter by mating," Olivia replied steadily. "I won't leave

until I know she's alright."

Elder Richard turned to the two enforcers flanking him-Marcus Blackwell and Dominic Walsh, both known for their brutal efficiency.

"Remove her," he ordered coldly. "Use whatever force necessary."

Marcus stepped forward, his meaty hand reaching for Olivia's arm. Dominic moved to her

other side, effectively trapping her.

Something primal and protective erupted within me. In three long strides, I crossed the space between us, inserting myself between Olivia and the enforcers.

"Stand down," I commanded, my Alpha authority radiating through the room.

Marcus froze, his hand still outstretched. Dominic took a cautious step back, recognizing the dangerous glint in my eyes.
