(Lucas's POV)

The words almost escaped my lips before I caught myself.

"What if Lily isn't dead?"

But I swallowed the question back. I was still investigating the mysterious young wolf pup in the Northern Packs who bore a striking resemblance to Lily.

Without conclusive results, I couldn't mention this possibility to Olivia. The risk of giving her false hope and watching her emotional collapse was too great.

Olivia noticed my hesitation through our growing bond. Her emerald eyes searched my face.

"If what?" she asked softly.

"Nothing," I replied, forcing a gentle smile.

I needed to shift topics before she pressed further. Gently pushing her toward the sofa, I suggested, "You should rest. Let me make breakfast."

She shook her head stubbornly. "I want to help."

Together, we prepared a simple meal of venison and herbal tea. The domestic routine felt natural between us, our wolves content in each other's presence.

After breakfast, I reluctantly prepared to leave for Moonstone Pack business. Olivia mentioned her plans to visit Shadow Creek Mall.
