: Go All the Way
(Killian’s POV)
All
my
words stuck in my throat. I watched helplessly as Matthew called a healer and had
Elara’s cast removed.
Elara jumped around happily, testing her foot. It had only been sprained from playing – it didn’t
need a cast at all.
I had used my own daughter as a pawn. The realization hit me like a physical blow.
Elara walked toward me, holding my suit jacket. Her innocent smile made my chest tighten with guilt.
I couldn’t face Olivia anymore. I couldn’t even look at my daughter.
“Dad, Aunt Olivia promised to take me, Leo, and baby Aurora to the amusement park this weekend,” Elara said happily, taking my hand.
I stroked her head, my heart heavy with shame. As we left, I didn’t dare look up at the ward.
I was afraid to meet Matthew’s golden eyes. He was like a god, seeing through my pathetic scheme instantly.
The fear in my heart was overwhelming. Was my fate with Olivia really over?
I was too unwilling to accept it.
On the way home, Elara held my hand tightly. “Dad, Uncle Matthew said I can’t call Aunt Olivia ‘Mom‘ anymore.”
I was stunned. Elara wasn’t upset – she seemed calm about it.
“Did Aunt Olivia agree?” I asked carefully.
“Yes,” Elara replied. “Uncle Matthew said he would have Grandmother Victoria choose an auspicious day for the ceremony.”
My mind went blank. I already knew what was happening.
“I’ll have another dad in the future,” Elara said with a grin. “Uncle Matthew wants to recognize me as his goddaughter.”
The words hit me like daggers. “I’ll have to call him and Aunt Olivia, Godfather and
Godmother.”
My hands clenched into fists at my sides. “Sweetheart, you agreed?”
Elara suddenly paused, realizing something. “Yes. Uncle Matthew is going to take me to a training ground.”
“He is Alpha King, and I want to be strong like him too.” Her eyes sparkled with admiration.
“Uncle Matthew also said… Dad, your mate will be my mother. I can’t call other aunties ‘mom‘. Your future mate will be unhappy.”
“Sweetheart, haven’t you always known how I feel about Aunt Olivia?” I said helplessly.
“But Uncle Matthew has already become Aunt Olivia’s mate,” Elara looked at me seriously. “They’re mated.”
Elara might not understand the full meaning of the mate bond. But she had seen them hold a mating ceremony.
Although the ceremony was chaotic, she and Aurora were the flower girls. She had attended with a heart full of blessings.
She knew Uncle Theodore was not good to Olivia. She knew Olivia’s heart was bitter.
But Uncle Matthew was very good to her.
I looked at Elara’s pure eyes and helplessly hugged her. The Alpha King had even convinced my daughter.
All my hopes were extinguished. It was too much.
(Matthew’s POV)
My gaze shifted from the departing father and daughter. I closed the door firmly.
After dealing with Killian, my eyes fell on my sleepy mate. Olivia was sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged to her chest.
A laptop with several systems open sat on the coffee table. She was engrossed in the computer, her fingers tapping ceaselessly on the keyboard.
My Royal Guards were stationed outside the door. If she hadn’t been awake, Killian and Elara would never have had the chance to see her.
I sat down opposite Olivia. She looked up and used a small fork to feed a piece of apple to
my lips.
I grabbed her hand. From Elara calling her “Mom,” from her wearing Killian’s suit, from her being up at 1 AM instead of sleeping.
A breath caught in my chest. My anger was building.
And the person responsible was shamelessly continuing to provoke me. Eating fruit in the middle of the night, causing indigestion.
“Matt? Darling?” Olivia waved a hand in front of my face. “You’re hurting me. What are you thinking about?”
Olivia was stunned as I stood up. My tall frame pulled her up with me.
She stood on the sofa, almost at eye level with me. She shouldn’t assume that calling me by an endearing title twice would make me soften.
I wouldn’t soften this time.
Olivia met my indifferent gaze. She wrapped her arms around my neck and rested her head on my shoulder.
“Where did you just go? Did you go home to see Aurora?” Her voice was soft against my ear.
“You have Aurora’s milky scent on you. Does Aurora miss me a lot? What about Leo? Is his homework done?”
She turned her head, her breath tickling my ear. “Hold me, I can’t stand.”
I reached out and lifted Olivia. She was drowsy in my arms, her eyes closed.
I carried her to the bed. The bed was too small for both of us.
I tried to settle Olivia, but she clung tightly to my shirt collar. I had to lie down holding her.
She lay on top of me, her face resting on my shoulder. “My King, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have worn my colleague’s clothes.”
If another woman touched my clothes, I would burn them. And she had just been wearing another man’s suit.
I had stripped the suit off her as soon as I entered the room. I had been angry from the moment I walked in.
“Last time, I shouldn’t have said I should have mated with my colleague.” Her voice was barely a whisper.
“The time before that, I shouldn’t have left in my colleague’s car on the night of the concert.”
“The time before that, I shouldn’t have gone to the restaurant to eat with my colleague. The time before that…”
All her “last times” were silenced by me. I kissed her fervently, finding her soft lips.
She gasped in my arms as my hand touched her chin, lifting her face.
“Wrong, think again.” I kissed Olivia’s lips, pressing her beneath me.
My hand moved from her waist to her hip, patting it lightly twice.
Olivia’s mind went blank from the kiss. She pushed me away, panting.
“I shouldn’t have become your mate and still acted as Elara’s mom.”
I reached out and turned off the light. In the darkness, only our outlines and warmth
remained.
A smile spread across my lips. I was too easily softened. My mate could even self–reflect? Unbelievable.
I suppressed my joy, kissed her soft lips again. “Keep thinking,” I said in a low, husky voice.
(Faelan’s POV)
In the mountains of the Moonstone territory, I sat by the window in my wheelchair. The distant lights flickered like stars.
“Alpha Faelan, Miss Olivia was kidn*pped by Caelan Mooncrest’s men today,” my aide reported.
“Alpha King Matthew threw the man in the pack dungeons. By midnight, he was sent to the pack infirmary with a cerebral hemorrhage.”
“Fortunately, you didn’t make a move on Miss Olivia today.” My aide’s voice carried relief.
“The Alpha King’s methods are truly…” He trailed off, unable to finish.
“It just proves that Olivia Blackwood is very important to him,” I said. My scarred hands gripped the wheelchair armrests.
“There are only 10 days left until his coronation ceremony.”
“k********g is definitely not an option now. He must be on guard,” the aide said.
I stared into the darkness for a long moment. “In that case, we might as well go all the way.”

My aide’s expression shifted slightly. He looked at me, waiting.
After a long silence, I spoke. “Make sure no one can trace it back to us.”
“Rest assured, Alpha Faelan.” The aide’s voice was steady. “Miss Olivia is in the infirmary, and
the Alpha King is there right now.”
“With so many healers and attendants around, it will be impossible to trace it back to us.”
I gave a slight nod. The aide walked out of the room.
I heard him speak into his phone. “You can make your move.”
