Chapter 256: Lost But Found
Olivia’s POV
I couldn’t believe it. I kept staring at the familiar face in the photo, my fingers trembling as I held it. My eyes widened, my throat tightening. That face... I had seen it before. Too many times. In my dreams. On the rooftop. In the car when I was being taken by Alpha Damien. That same serene face that always brought a strange calm... and yet left me full of questions. The same woman I... resembled. \n(o)v.e\l.com
I slowly lifted my eyes to Alpha Calvin, who had been watching me with furrowed brows, clearly puzzled by my reaction.
"This is... your mother?" I asked softly, my lips barely moving.
He nodded slowly. "Yes, do you know her?" he asked curiously.
I stared at him, my heart racing. How could I explain this? How could I tell him I had seen this woman without ever meeting her in real life?
I swallowed hard. My lips parted, but no sound came. Then, I forced out a question.
"The pack you went to war with... the one that betrayed your mother. What was it called?"
He answered immediately. "The Forest Shadow Pack."
My entire body froze. Alpha Gabriel’s pack.
I blink at him in shock. "Alpha Gabriel’s pack?"
His brow arched. "You know him?" he asked, clearly surprised.
I wanted to lie. But I couldn’t. Not anymore. I hesitated... then slowly nodded. "Yes..."
Memories rushed in. Alpha Gabriel telling me I was paying for the sins of my mother. Alpha Damien saying my mother had murdered Gabriel’s mother. Everything started clicking together, puzzle pieces that had never made sense now locking into place.
Alpha Calvin leaned forward slightly, worry etched across his face. "What’s wrong?"
I looked into his eyes... and for some reason, I trusted him.
"I have to tell you something," I whispered.
