Chapter 87: Have You Found My Mate?
(Olivia’s POV)
At the Shadow Syndicate’s computer department, everyone returned to their seats and quickly connected to the network where Olivia Blackwood was. One by one, traces of ‘Olivia Blackwood‘ began to vanish from Stonehaven City’s internet
systems.
Her elementary school report card disappeared first. Then her graduation photo from the pack academy. Her mate registration record with Theodore dissolved into digital nothingness.
Every digital footprint of her existence was being methodically erased. Bank accounts, medical records, even her library card – all of it vanishing as if she had never existed.
I watched the screens with fascination and growing sadness. Twenty–six years of life, reduced to data points being deleted one by one.
Matthew Kane saw me staring at the computer screen, tears welling in my eyes. He handed me a tissue without a word.
“I’ll be staying in Stonehaven City for a few more days,” he said in a low, magnetic voice. “You can take this time to reconsider. If you can’t bear to leave, then don’t.”
I took the tissue and forced back my tears, shaking my head with a smile. “There’s nothing to be reluctant about. It’s just a bit sad to bid farewell to the past.”
The Alpha King simply replied, “Hmm.”
His understanding meant everything to me. No judgment, no pressure. Just acceptance of whatever choice I made.
The technicians worked with practiced efficiency. Years of operating in the shadows had made them experts at making people disappear.
“Cipher, your academic transcripts are gone,” one reported.
“Employment records deleted,” called another.
“Social media presence eliminated.”
Each announcement felt like a small death. But also like a rebirth.
I thought of Leo, probably wondering where his mother had gone. Would Theodore tell him I had abandoned them? Or would he craft some gentler lie?
“The mate bond registration is the last file,” the lead technician announced. “Once this is gone, there will be no legal record of your union.”
I nodded firmly. “Delete it.”
The screen flickered. Then showed a simple message: File not found.
Olivia Blackwood, Luna of the Crimson Pack, had officially ceased to exist.
(Theodore’s POV)
Meanwhile, cars arrived one after another at the Stonehaven Sports Center. I stood alongside Stonehaven City’s Mayor, greeting dignitaries from various packs.
The opening ceremony was running smoothly. Alphas from across the region mingled, discussing trade agreements and

territorial matters.
After two hours, I began to wonder if my mate had reached the banquet hall. The traffic had been terrible when I left the
manor.
I glanced at my phone, noticing the signal was weak due to the dense crowd. That explained why I hadn’t received a call from my pack sentinels.
An uneasy feeling crept through our strained mate bond. Something felt wrong, though I couldn’t pinpoint what.
I instructed my head sentinel, “Go and see where my mate is.”
Just then, a black sedan bearing the European Territory’s flag pulled up. The Mayor eagerly went to greet the guest.
“Alpha Redgrave, this is a highly important dignitary,” the Mayor said with obvious excitement. “Alpha King Matthew Kane.”
From within the car, a man’s voice instructed, “Go to the Government Building and wait for me first.”
A woman replied with a soft “Hmm.”
That single, gentle sound pierced my ears. My heart clenched inexplicably through our mate bond.
I peered into the back seat, but could only see a pair of blue jeans. My mate favored dresses and hadn’t worn jeans in years.
Yet the voice was so familiar it compelled me to step forward.
Matthew Kane exited the car, blocking my path. As the Mayor made introductions, I heard my own name mentioned.
I noticed the woman inside the car stiffen slightly before the door closed, hiding her from view.
My gaze followed the departing black sedan. An unsettling feeling welled up in my heart, as if something precious was quietly slipping away.
The Mayor called for me to begin the opening ceremony, but I ignored him. I strode decisively towards the black sedan, grabbing the handle to prevent it from leaving.
I pulled out my phone and dialed the number saved as ‘My Love‘. Through the tinted window, my intense gaze locked onto the dark interior.
To the shock of everyone present, a familiar ringtone began to sound from within the car.
My heart pounded as I yanked the door open.
“Alpha Redgrave, the Luna has disappeared at the Central Crossroads!” a pack sentinel’s frantic shout cut through the air at that very moment.
The phone call dropped due to the poor signal. I released the car handle and rushed to my men.
As the black sedan merged back into traffic, I glanced back at the departing vehicle. The window was already closed, swallowing the passenger’s face.
But I caught a fleeting glimpse of a ponytail.
My eyes then met the cool, indifferent gaze of Alpha King Matthew Kane across the road.
The Mayor tried to smooth things over, explaining, “You don’t know how much Alpha Redgrave dotes on his mate, like she’s the apple of his eye.”
Matthew’s lips curved into a faint smile as he replied, “Is that so?” before turning to walk inside.
The sentinel quickly explained the situation. “It was too crowded, so the Luna said she would get out and walk to the Warden’s Post to retrieve her jewelry.”

“We were protecting her in the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone.”
The sentinel added that the sudden appearance of many she–wolves dressed in similar attire was suspicious. He suggested she may have been taken.

My mind raced, convincing myself she was just angry about the previous night and was hiding. She had every right to be
furious with me.
I coldly commanded, “Have warriors surround all exits in this district. Get me the Warden’s Post on the line.”
“Have them immediately pull the surveillance from the Central Crossroads, and have the Crimson Pack Technical Department assist with the facial recognition system.”
“I want my mate found in twenty minutes!”
When I arrived at the Warden’s Post, I asked urgently, “Have you found my mate?”
The Pack Enforcer shook his head apologetically. “Alpha Redgrave, the surveillance footage from this period was
interrupted due to signal congestion.”
“However, the enforcers have combined with your pack’s facial recognition system to conduct a large–scale facial
recognition search throughout the area.”
“It will only take a few minutes to complete the identification, and even if she walks out of the surveillance area of the
crossroads, she can be captured quickly.”
I watched the high–speed operation of the facial recognition software, filtering out mismatched faces one by one.
Regret consumed me. Why couldn’t I resist forcibly marking her neck? I could have just coaxed and tricked her into taking
the moonlight herb.
And why, after she had clearly protested, did I still try to force our bond? I could have done so much better.
Mate, where on earth are you?
The facial recognition system suddenly beeped.
My heart leaped with joy, “Have they found her?”
