Chapter 106: Surround All the Places Where My Luna Was Spotted
(Third–person’s POV)
As Olivia turned around, she saw Killian Vance and Elara waiting by their car. She immediately got into their vehicle.
Just as the car sped away, Theodore walked out of the Kane estate. His eyes desperately searched the departing vehicle. Inside the car, Elara joyfully cried out, “Auntie Olivia, I missed you so much!” She threw her small arms around Olivia.
Killian, however, directed a pointed question at her. His tone lacked its usual respect. “Did the Alpha King not come back with you?”
Ever since he learned that Matthew Kane had marked Olivia, Killian’s respect for Matthew had disappeared completely.
“He’s busy,” Olivia replied faintly.
Killian pressed on, his brow furrowed with concern. “No matter how busy he is, he can’t just let you come back alone. What if you run into danger?”
His voice grew sharper. “He didn’t even send a guard? What kind of mate is he, to be so at ease with you being by yourself?”
Dodging the topic, Olivia asked where they were staying.
Killian explained he had a villa nearby. He suggested she move in with them, arguing that a hotel wasn’t safe.
Elara chimed in with a sweet plea. “Auntie Olivia, please move in. I want to be with you these next few days.”
Remembering the unpleasant smell of smoke from the previous night, Olivia agreed.
After telling her assistant Selena about the move to the villa, which Selena was thrilled about, they checked out of the hotel.
As Olivia got into Killian’s car, Theodore and his Alpha Sentinels were just arriving at the hotel entrance.
The head sentinel’s sharp eyes immediately recognized her silhouette. “Alpha, our Luna just got into that car!”
Theodore’s gaze shot up frantically. Through the rear windshield, he saw the blurry silhouette of a she–wolf being hugged by a pup.
Her profile was indistinct, yet he could sense her elegant presence. The familiar curve of her shoulders made his heart
race.
He staggered forward desperately. His hand brushed against the car door just as it sped away from him.
His strength gave out completely. He collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as the vehicle disappeared around a
corner.
A black SUV immediately gave chase, but the distance was already too great.
Later, Theodore was lying on a large bed in his hotel suite. An IV drip was attached to his hand.
His mind was relentlessly tormented by visions of Olivia’s despairing, heartbroken face. The image wouldn’t leave him
alone.
The head sentinel returned to report. “Alpha, we lost them, but I have the license plate number. It’s from out of Europe, so
it will take some time.”

He added that there was no sign of her on the hotel’s surveillance footage. “We checked Alpha Asher White’s office too. Every pack member denied having seen a she–wolf matching her description.”
Theodore closed his eyes. The image of her sad face was corroding his heart like acid.
He raised a hand weakly. As the sedative was pushed into his system, he fell unconscious.
Having settled into Killian’s villa, Olivia decided to call Matthew Kane.
“Your mother mentioned a mating ceremony,” she began. She was unsure if they needed to go through with such a formal ritual.
“It’s my mother’s wish,” he replied calmly.
Olivia hesitated. “Can we talk about it later? I’m not mentally prepared.”
He agreed without pressure. “Of course.”
She then brought up another matter. “There was also a Miss Mooncrest today who claimed to be your former fiancée.”
Her voice carried a hint of uncertainty. “She said you two separated because of a misunderstanding and would get back together once it was resolved.”
Matthew’s voice was unwavering. “I only have one intended mate, and that is you.”
Olivia was slightly flustered by his sudden seriousness. Just as she was about to ask for a video call with their daughter, Aurora, Elara called out.
“Auntie Olivia, can you bring me some clothes?”
“Aurora is asleep,” Matthew said through the phone.
Olivia ended the call to tend to Elara’s needs.
After telling Elara a story and tucking her into bed, Olivia found Killian waiting outside her room. He held a glass of moonlight wine, his hand hovering hesitantly.
Seeing her in a white nightgown, her hair casually tied up, he was momentarily stunned. The soft fabric highlighted her graceful figure.
“I was worried you wouldn’t be used to it,” he said, handing her the wine.
She accepted it graciously and bid him goodnight.
Killian watched her door close. A question burned within him: Why did you choose Matthew Kane and not me?
He didn’t dare ask. He was terrified that the answer would shatter their friendship completely.
Unable to sleep, Olivia was missing Aurora when her phone lit up. It was a message from Matthew.
The photo showed Aurora sleeping peacefully in her crib. Her tiny fist was curled near her cheek.
Her heart instantly warmed. She sent a voice message: “Thank you for taking care of Aurora, Matthew.”
In his citadel, Matthew had just tucked Aurora in when the caregiver Nora praised him.
“You’re such a good Alpha King, treating Aurora as your own. Luna Olivia will be so touched when she finds out.”
Hearing this, and recalling the sound of Elara’s voice on the phone, Matthew’s gaze darkened slightly.
He typed a reply to Olivia: Aurora is my pup too.
Reading his words, Olivia felt a wave of genuine emotion wash over her.
The next morning, as Killian drove them to work, Selena whispered to Olivia.
“Luna, why didn’t you choose the Professor? I think he’s better.”
She gestured toward Killian enthusiastically. “He’s cheerful, well–spoken, cooks, and is great with pups. He’s a genius in his field, a perfect Alpha!”
She found Matthew too cold and intimidating for her Luna’s gentle nature.
Olivia reflected on this question. She felt Matthew was a better fit for her.
Theirs was a relationship of mutual benefit, free of emotional pressure. He was as dedicated to his kingdom as she was
to her work.
This made their interactions simple and comfortable. He gave her a profound sense of security by caring for Aurora.
This freed her to pursue her duties without constant worry. Killian, on the other hand, was too eager.
His intensity made her feel pushed when she had no intention of diving into another emotional entanglement. Her focus. was on her responsibilities and her daughter.
When Theodore awoke, the sun was already up. He saw Olivia sitting by his side in his fevered imagination.
Her soft hand gently pressed on the spot where the needle had been. Does it hurt? she seemed to ask.
He knew it was a hallucination brought on by his desperate longing. It was a vision he refused to banish with the medicine the healers prescribed.
He couldn’t bear for her to leave, even if she was just a figment of his tortured mind.
“Alpha, the sentinels from Crimson Pack territory have arrived,” the head sentinel announced from the doorway.
Tortured by mental and physical exhaustion, Theodore clung to the last shred of his sanity. He issued a command with what little strength remained.
“Have them surround all the places where my Luna was spotted, especially Alpha Asher White’s office.”
