Chapter 114: Unable to Endure
(Theodore’s POV)
At my appearance, Olivia’s expression remained indifferent. Her voice turned several degrees colder. “I don’t know him.”
In that instant, my heart plunged into an abyss. My gaze locked on her face. I had never imagined we would reach such a
point.
Since Olivia claimed not to know me, I didn’t deny it. The others at the Kane family banquet accepted us as strangers.
Simon Kane, Matthew’s uncle, recognized me. He introduced me as the wealthiest Alpha from Stonehaven City, an important business partner.
“Theodore Redgrave owns the largest conglomerate in Stonehaven,” Simon explained to the table. “His pack controls most of the shipping routes through Stonehaven.”
I was given a seat of honor, directly across from Olivia and Matthew. The sight of their intertwined hands was a blade twisting in my heart.
Throughout the meal, my eyes never left her, as if she would vanish the moment I looked away.
I watched in silent fury as the other members of the Kane family looked down on her. Their contempt was undisguised upon learning that she was merely an agent under Matthew’s command.
“So you’re just one of Matthew’s subordinates?” L****** asked with a dismissive tone. “How… interesting.”
However, Matthew remained unusually calm. He made no attempt to defend her.
She was the treasure I had held in the palm of my hand. I had never allowed her to suffer such a slight.
My knuckles whitened as I gripped my wine glass. Every fiber of my being screamed to defend her honor.
But she had denied me. She had chosen this humiliation over acknowledging our bond.
After the banquet, the Kanes arranged for Olivia and Matthew to share a suite in the guest wing. Before they parted,
Matthew leaned in close to her.
He whispered something in her ear. “Go on ahead.”
Olivia nodded and followed a servant. Two pack enforcers escorted her, leaving me no opportunity to approach her.
Seething, I strode toward Matthew. The enforcers immediately blocked my path.
At a slight nod from Matthew, they stepped aside.
“Even if Olivia and I have severed our partner bond, my wolf still considers her our partner,” I said, my voice dangerously cold. “I know you two are not true partners.”
I feel angry, “I have been with her for ten years, protecting her. Personally nurturing her from an innocent girl into an elegant and confident woman.”
“I am a part of her life. She is just angry, and she will come back to me.”
Matthew remained silent. His expression was unreadable as his gaze swept over a faint bloodstain near my collar.
Then he turned to leave.
“Don’t even think about touching her,” I warned, my hands clenching into fists.

Matthew paused at the door. His voice was devoid of emotion as he addressed his security detail. “Please have him
leave.”
(Matthew’s POV)
I did not return to my room immediately. Instead, I went to see my sister, Seraphina Kane.
She was in her private sitting room, still glowing from the evening’s excitement.
“Seraphina, Theodore Redgrave is not suitable for you,” I said, a trace of sorrow coloring my tone.
Having been pampered her whole life, Seraphina bristled at being thwarted.
“Brother, his mate abandoned him and their pup, she’s not coming back!” Her voice rose with indignation. “I really like him, and I don’t mind that he’s been mated or that I’d be a stepmother.”
She passionately stated her reasons, reminding me that she had supported my relationship with Olivia, despite the family’s disapproval of Olivia’s ordinary family background.
“I’ve never asked you for anything, Matthew. This time, I’m begging you.” Her eyes filled with tears. “Don’t stop me from being with Theodore.”
I studied my sister’s determined face. I could see the dangerous infatuation burning in her eyes.
“He’s not what you think he is, Seraphina. There are things about him you don’t understand.”
“I don’t care!” she snapped. “Brother, you can’t do this. You found your partner, and even though her family background is
ordinary, you still want to be with her. So why, when it comes to me, are you being so harsh?”
My jaw tightened. “You’re being too careless. You might not understand some things at all.” But how could I explain the
situation between me, Olivia, and Theodore, and that her obsession with Theodore might drive her to do something
irrational.
(Theodore’s POV)
Later that night, I stood on my balcony. I drank glass after glass of moonlight wine. My dark eyes were fixed on the
illuminated window of the suite across the estate.
Through the sheer curtains, I could see Matthew in the study on the left. Olivia was in the living area on the right.
She drew the curtains. A dim bedside lamp cast blurry shapes within the room.
Suddenly, I heard a faint cry from her room. The lights flashed on, and I saw Matthew’s silhouette enter.
The two figures seemed to meld together. Two shadows tangling into one.
Pack guards quickly exited the suite, leaving them alone. Before the room was plunged back into darkness, the image of their intertwined bodies was burned into my mind.
The rustling sounds of the night magnified in my ears. My mind was flooded with memories of Olivia in my arms–her soft body, her sweet voice, her eyes filled with passion.
Those memories now felt like poison in my veins. She was giving herself to another man.
I crushed the glass in my palm. My eyes surged with rage.
Blood dripped from my wounded hand, but I felt nothing. Only the searing agony of watching my mate with another.
The moonlight wine mixed with my blood on the balcony stones, a crimson pool of my shattered control.
No longer able to endure it, I lost control. I strode out of the guest room, my Alpha authority radiating in deadly waves.
Through our pack link, I ordered my Alpha Sentinels. “Take my mate away, at all costs!”

Following my command, the entire Kane family estate was instantly plunged into darkness.
