Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

"He attacked me like a wild animal!" I sobbed, clutching Ethan's arm as tears streamed down

my

face. "She knew I couldn't defend myself with my paralyzed legs!"

My wolf whimpered pathetically inside me, playing up our victimhood. The bruises

on my face were already darkening, and I made sure to wince dramatically whenever I shifted in my

wheelchair.

"She dragged me across the floor by my hair," I continued, voice breaking. "Slammed my head

against the wall. Called me horrible names!"

I looked up at Ethan through tear-soaked lashes, expecting to see his amber

eyes darkening with protective rage. Instead, his expression remained eerily calm, almost detached.

"Are you even listening?" I demanded, my voice rising with hysteria. "Your mate tried to kill

me!"

Ethan's jaw tightened. "I heard you, Victoria."

His wolf's energy remained controlled, contained. Not at all the reaction I'd anticipated.

"And?" I prompted, squeezing his arm harder.

"And you provoked her," he stated flatly. "Again."

I recoiled as if slapped. "What?”

"Victoria, two years ago I told you to stay away from Olivia and not appear in her territory," he said coldly. "Yet you deliberately sought her out today."

Horror dawned as I realized Ethan was siding with Olivia.

"You had bodyguards," he continued, his voice hardening. "Who conveniently waited outside

while you requested a 'private conversation' with my mate."

"I was trying to make peace!" I protested.

Ethan's laugh was short and bitter. "We both know that's not true."

My wolf bristled beneath my skin, indignation rising. "I'm pressing charges," I declared. "The Northern Territory Enforcers will—”

"Will what?" Ethan interrupted. "Arrest the Luna of Silvercrest Pack based on your word

alone?"

Dr. Samuel Wilson chose that moment to enter with my medical report. I straightened, anticipating vindication.

"The examination is complete, Alpha King," Dr. Wilson said professionally. "Miss Frost's

injuries are superficial-bruising to the face and torso, minor contusions. Nothing that qualifies as even light injuries under Northern Territory werewolf law."

My mouth fell open in shock. "That's impossible! I'm in agony!"

Dr. Wilson's expression remained neutral. "The pain you're experiencing is likely due to your pre-existing condition, not today's altercation."

Fury bubbled inside me. That b***h Olivia had calculated everything perfectly- hurting me enough to satisfy her revenge while staying just under the legal threshold for assault charges.

"This is outrageous," I hissed. "I demand a second opinion!"

"Victoria, don't make a fuss," Ethan said with finality. "I'll take you home to rest. I'll handle the

Territory Enforcers' report."

My wolf snarled internally but submitted to the Alpha's command. I nodded stiffly, swallowing

my rage.

"Thank you, Ethan," I managed, voice honeyed despite my fury. "You're always so good to me."

Ethan's expression remained unreadable as he wheeled me toward the exit.

The drive to Rosewood Haven passed in tense silence. My mind raced with plans for revenge,
