Chapter 284

(Olivia's POV)

"Ethan Stone, stop mentioning Lily, you really don't deserve it!" I pressed my hand against my heart, feeling as though Lily's

Memory Crystal was there, aching beneath my skin.

My wolf whimpered with grief inside me. How sad would my sweet pup be if she heard the father she loved so much repeatedly

defending the murderer who killed her?

My emerald eyes flashed with a mixture of pain and fury as my wolf bristled at the Alpha's continued defense of Victoria. The audacity of this man to stand in my home and lecture me about what Lily would want when he couldn't even be bothered to

attend her birthday before she died.

"You have no right to speak about what would make Lily sad," I hissed, my voice trembling with barely contained rage. "Where were you when she needed you? When she begged for her father to come see her on her birthday?"

Ethan's amber eyes darkened, his jaw clenching at my words. His wolf's energy pulsed in response, powerful and dominating as

always.

"I was handling pack business," he replied stiffly, the excuse sounding hollow even to his own ears.

"Pack business," I repeated with a bitter laugh. "Is that what you call taking Emma to Enchanted Kingdom Theme Park while our daughter lay dying?"

The memory of Lily's tearful face as she watched the social media posts of Ethan and Emma at the amusement park she had begged to visit tore at my heart anew. My wolf howled with renewed grief.

"Get out," I demanded, unable to bear his presence a moment longer. "Get out of my home!"

My wolf snarled beneath my skin, hackles raised in rejection of his scent in my territory. This cottage was my sanctuary, the one place where I could grieve for Lily without Victoria's shadow looming over me.

Ethan's amber eyes hardened as he took a step toward me. "Olivia, you need to understand that I will always protect Victoria,"

His words were like a silver dagger to my heart, further fueling my anger and despair. Of course he would. He always had, even at the expense of his own daughter.

"You disgust both me and Lily," I spat, my voice trembling with the force of my emotions.

The turmoil inside me caused my entire body to shake uncontrollably, my wolf thrashing with shared grief. The pain of losing Lily, combined with Ethan's betrayal and Victoria's continued existence, was almost too much to bear.
