Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

The Alpha King is unavailable 200

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.

I quickly took her hand. "She's with you, Olivia. She's always with you," I assured

her, squeezing

her fingers gently.

(Olivia's POV)

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

just blessed nothingness.

Then I heard her voice-my sweet Lily-cutting through the darkness like a beam of

light.

"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.

A warm hand caught mine, strong fingers wrapping around my own. Not Lily's tiny hand, but

someone else's-someone unexpected.

Lucas Blackwood sat beside my bed, his powerful frame seeming too large for the hospital chair. His gray eyes, usually so intimidating, now held genuine concern.

"She's with you, Olivia," he said softly. "She's always with you."

I blinked, trying to make sense of his presence. "Why are you here?" My voice was hoarse, my

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."

My fingers clutched at Lucas's hand with surprising strength. “I'm her mother, but I failed her
