Chapter 123: Victoria's Despair

(Ethan's POV)*

The first thing I noticed was the pain. A searing, burning sensation in my abdomen that even my Alpha healing couldn't fully suppress.

I forced my eyes open, blinking against the harsh fluorescent lights. My father's face swam into view, his features contorted with rage.

"Where is she?" I rasped, my throat dry and raw.

"Who? That Omega b***h who tried to kill you?" Elder Richard snarled, his wolf close to the surface. "Don't worry, son. I've called the enforcers. She'll pay for this."

Panic surged through me, giving me strength I didn't know I had. I grabbed my father's wrist, my grip surprisingly strong for someone who'd nearly bled out.

"Call them off,” I ordered, my Alpha voice cutting through the room despite my weakened

state. "Now."

Victoria wheeled herself closer to my bed, her face a mask of concern. "Ethan, darling, you're not thinking clearly. She stabbed you with a silver blade. She tried to kill you."

The sight of Victoria in a wheelchair momentarily distracted me. "What happened to you?"

"Later," she dismissed with a wave of her hand. "We need to focus on getting justice for you."

I turned back to my father, who was already on his phone. "Father, stop. Don't make things

difficult for Liv. This matter isn't her fault."

Elder Richard's eyes widened in disbelief. "Not her fault? She plunged a silver knife into your kidney! If Maxwell hadn't found you when he did, you'd be dead!"

"I deserved it," I said quietly, memories of Olivia's tear-streaked face flashing before my eyes.

"You can't be serious," Victoria interjected, wheeling herself even closer. "No one deserves to be stabbed, especially not by their mate."

I closed my eyes, exhaustion washing over me. "Father, please. Call off the

enforcers. This is a pack matter-my matter-and I'll handle it my way."

Richard stared at me for a long moment, his jaw
