Chapter 336

(Olivia's POV)

"Liv, it's true, I didn't lie to you. As soon as I learned there was another compatible donor, I immediately redirected Emma's

treatment." Ethan's voice was soft, almost pleading as he stood before me in the sterile corridor of the Silvercrest Pack Medical

His voice dropped lower, more intimate. "You have to understand, Liv. I was desperate, but I wasn't cruel without reason."

I let the silence stretch between us, watching him squirm under my cold gaze. My wolf's fury built with each heartbeat.

"So what, am I supposed to be grateful you didn't use James's kidney in the end?"

I finally asked, my voice sharp enough to cut

glass. "Thank you for your mercy, Alpha?"

Ethan flinched at my tone, his wolf visibly recoiling.

"Don't you dare try to justify what you did," I continued, each word precise and venomous. “The only reason things played out this way was sheer luck-a last- minute donor appeared. If no donor had been found, you would have sacrificed James without

hesitation."

I stepped closer, my emerald eyes boring into his. "Once again, you abandoned Lily and James's feelings for Victoria and Emma, just like you abandoned Lily herself."

Ethan's face paled with each accusation, the physical pain from his wounds nothing compared to the anguish in his eyes.
