Chapter 158: Don’t Go with Him, He’s Lying to You
(Olivia’s POV)
I was stunned as I saw Seraphina in the driver’s seat of the red sports car, speeding directly towards me! The engine roared like a beast as the vehicle closed the distance between us.
At that moment, I pushed Eleonora aside with all my strength. Just as I was about to dodge, a black shadow flashed before my eyes.
Strong arms pulled me into an embrace. The familiar scent of cedar and rain enveloped me as Theodore’s body shielded mine from the oncoming danger.
Seraphina slammed on the brakes and sharply turned the steering wheel. The tires screeched against the asphalt, leaving black marks on the road.
After a deafening “bang,” the car horn blared piercingly for a long time. The sound echoed through the infirmary grounds like a death knell.
Before the airbag knocked her unconscious, Seraphina’s last sight was Theodore tightly holding me. His deep eyes were filled with passionate intensity, as if he wanted to consume the woman in his arms.
This scene–made Seraphina’s heart ache sharply. Then she passed out, her head slumping forward against the deflating airbag.
“Olivia! Are you okay?” Theodore frantically ran his hands over my body, checking for injuries.
He cupped my stunned face with trembling hands. His touch was gentle despite the panic in his eyes.
Seeing I was only frightened, he pulled me into a tight, loving embrace. His voice whispered reassurances into my ear.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s okay. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
His arms tightened around me protectively. “No matter what, I will always be by your side, protecting you forever,”
In Theodore’s arms, I slowly came back to my senses. The shock was wearing off, replaced by a strange emptiness.
For a fleeting moment, I had thought it would be Matthew who saved me. The realization hit me like a cold
wave.
The scene was quickly surrounded by pack enforcers, rescue teams, and reporters. Camera flashes went off like lightning as they captured every angle of the accident.
Photos of the incident–especially of Theodore and my embrace–spread like wildfire through the pack communication networks. The images reignited the recently suppressed gossip from The Sovereign’s Table.
Meanwhile, Matthew Kane was just leaving a high–level Shadow Syndicate meeting when he noticed the gossiping faces of those around him. Everyone was checking their phones through the pack’s communication network.

He saw the trending discussions-#TrueLovelnHardship, #OldFlameRekindled, #BetrayedMate. A low–pressure system immediately formed around his powerful Alpha presence.
The air grew thick with his barely contained fury. His golden eyes darkened to amber as his wolf stirred beneath the surface.
“Where is Olivia?” he demanded from Beta Tristan, his voice dangerously low.
Before Tristan could finish explaining the car accident, Matthew had already stormed out. He took the car keys from his driver with swift, controlled movements.
He sped towards the infirmary, covering a thirty–minute drive in ten. His knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel.
He rushed to the emergency room but couldn’t find me anywhere. The scent of antiseptic and fear filled his nostrils as he searched.
I was with Seraphina Kane, who had been moved to the intensive care unit with a concussion. The steady beeping of monitors filled the sterile room.
Sitting in the quiet hallway, I finally had a moment to breathe. The adrenaline was fading, leaving me shaky and exhausted.
I realized Theodore had been by my side the entire time. His presence was both comforting and suffocating.
“Olivia, you need to get your heart checked,” he said, his voice filled with concern. “I’ve arranged for Healer Elias.”
He tried to manipulate me with his worried expression. “I’ll watch over Seraphina while you get examined.”
But I saw through his pretense. The calculating look in his eyes betrayed his true intentions.
“I don’t need your hypocrisy,” I said coldly. “You can go.”
Theodore grabbed my wrist, his grip firm but not painful. “You can doubt anything about me, but you can’t
doubt my love for you.”
His eyes burned with desperate intensity. “No one will love you more than I do.”
He then began to slander Matthew, his voice turning bitter. “That hypocrite coveted you while you were still
my mate.”
The accusation hit me like a slap. My protective instincts flared to life.
“Matthew is not the kind of person you say he is,” I said fiercely. “He is a thousand times better than you.”
I struggled to break free, but he overpowered me with his Alpha strength. His muscles tensed as he swept me
up in a princess carry.
He strode towards the examination/room where Healer Elias was waiting. My protests fell on deaf ears as he
carried me down the hallway.
“Be good, just a simple examination to put my mind at ease,” Theodore pleaded. He pressed me onto the examination chair with gentle but insistent hands.
Healer Elias also implored me, his voice filled with genuine concern. “Luna Olivia, it will only take a few
minutes.”

His eyes were pleading as he continued. “For the sake of my mate who helped you, please don’t make this
difficult for me.”
The memory of Healer Elias’s mate’s kindness softened my resolve. She had risked everything to swap the moonlight herbs that would have terminated my pregnancy.
I lay back and complied, though every instinct told me to run. The examination chair was cold against my
back.
As the healer began to examine my heart condition, a door was suddenly thrown open with a bang. The medical instruments scattered across the floor.
I looked up into Matthew’s emotionless golden eyes. His presence filled the room like a storm front.
Matthew’s chest heaved with suppressed fury. His Alpha presence was so intense it made the air itself seem
to vibrate.
He strode towards me with predatory grace, but Theodore blocked his path. “She was scared! She needs a
heart examination!”
Ignoring him completely, Matthew’s gaze locked onto mine. His calm voice was laced with an undeniable Alpha command.
“Should I come over and carry you, or will you come over yourself?”
I scrambled off the examination table without hesitation. My feet hit the floor as I rushed to his side.
As Matthew reached for me, Theodore grabbed his wrist. But a swift motion from Matthew signaled his Shadow Syndicate guards.
They immediately restrained Theodore, their movements efficient and silent. Theodore struggled against their hold, his face twisted with rage.
Outside the room, Matthew pulled me into a firm embrace. It was a rare display of affection from the Alpha
King.
His arms were strong and warm around me. “What are you so dejected about?” he asked softly.
I tearfully blamed myself for Seraphina’s accident. The guilt was eating me alive from the inside.
But Matthew calmly explained it wasn’t my fault. He analyzed the traffic violations involved with clinical
precision.
His calm demeanor, however, masked a cold fury. “I’ve seen the surveillance footage,” he said quietly. “Eleonora’s harassment was the cause, Theodore’s ‘heroic rescue‘ was a dangerous charade.”
For the first time, he was truly enraged. The temperature in the hallway seemed to drop several degrees. Just then, Theodore broke free from the guards and burst out of the room. He clutched the medical report in his trembling hands.
He grabbed my other hand, his voice hard and desperate. “You are not allowed to go with him!”
His grip was painful as he pulled me towards him. “He is lying to you! Your heart condition has reached its
limit.”
