Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

The heartbreaking plea from beyond the grave seemed to penetrate where nothing else had. Olivia's body suddenly tensed, her fingers twitching in my hand.

Her eyes flew open, emerald green and filled with desperate longing. "Lily!" she cried, reaching toward the tablet as if to grasp her daughter's image.

Darkness had been my refuge. In that peaceful void, there was no pain, no grief, no betrayal-

"Mommy, please don't be sad anymore. Lily loves you the most!"

The words pulled me back to consciousness against my will. My eyes opened to a world I had tried to leave behind, the pain rushing back with brutal force.

"Lily!" I cried out, reaching desperately toward her voice.

throat raw from river water.

"I pulled you from the river," he explained simply. "I've been here since they brought you in."

Memories flooded back-Matriarch Evelyn's funeral, the bridge, the cold embrace of

Silvermoon River. I had wanted to die, to join Lily in whatever came after this life.

“I couldn't save her,” I whispered brokenly, tears filling my eyes. “I couldn't protect her from

Victoria... I couldn't avenge her death."
