Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

The Alpha King is unavailable 231

Two years ago, my life changed forever. Not just because of Lily's death, but because of what came after.

The car accident should have killed me. My brakes failed on a winding mountain road,

sending my vehicle plummeting over the edge. By some miracle, I survived the initial impact, though the world believed otherwise.

I stared out the window of Lucas's SUV as we approached Moonstone County Correctional Facility. The imposing concrete structure loomed against the darkening sky, a fortress designed to contain the most dangerous wolves in the territory.

"Are you sure about this?" Lucas asked, his gray eyes studying my face with

concern.

I nodded. "I need answers."

The investigation after my "death" had been thorough. Ethan, believing he'd lost his mate, had thrown the full weight of his authority behind finding the culprit. The police discovered clear evidence of tampering with my brakes.

"What exactly did the investigation find?" I asked Lucas, needing to hear it again.

Lucas's jaw tightened. "A photographer covering a local festival caught Connor Blackthorn on

camera near your car the night before the accident. When confronted with the evidence, he confessed immediately."

"Too immediately," I murmured.

I remembered Connor clearly. He had worked as a caretaker for Dr. Rebecca Winters' father. I had reported him after finding suspicious needle marks on Lily's arm during one of her

hospital stays.

"His motive seemed straightforward," Lucas continued. "Revenge for losing his job after your

complaint."

"But the timing was too convenient," I said, voicing the suspicion that had grown stronger since my return. "Victoria had just threatened me at Lily's grave. Days later, my brakes fail?"

Lucas nodded grimly. "That's why I investigated a possible connection between Victoria and

Connor."

"And you found one."

"Yes. Connor worked as a caregiver for Victoria's adoptive father before he was hired by Dr. Winters. According to my sources, he developed feelings for Victoria during that time."

The SUV stopped at the prison's security checkpoint. Guards approached, their expressions stern as they checked our identification.

"I'm convinced Victoria orchestrated the accident," I said quietly. "And Connor Blackthorn is the key to proving it."

(Olivia's POV)

The prison visiting room was cold and sterile. Reinforced glass separated visitors from inmates, with intercoms for communication. Special silver-reinforced restraints were used on werewolf prisoners to prevent shifting.

I sat rigidly in the metal chair, my heart pounding despite my outward calm. Lucas stood behind me, a reassuring presence at my back.

The door on the other side of the glass opened. Two guards led in a man in an orange jumpsuit, his hands and feet bound with silver-lined shackles. Connor Blackthorn.

He looked thinner than I remembered, his face gaunt and his eyes haunted. When

he saw me, he froze mid-step, his eyes widening with shock.

"You're alive," he whispered, the.words barely audible through the intercom.

I leaned forward. "Hello, Connor."

His shock quickly transformed into rage. He lunged forward, only to be yanked back by the
