Chapter 159: Olivia Exploded
Chapter 159: Olivia Exploded
(Olivia’s POV)
Theodore and the guards had a physical altercation, leaving his suit collar wrinkled and his entire person looking extremely disheveled. His large hand gripped my wrist tightly, his eyes filled with certainty, as if I still belonged to him, my fate to be determined by him.
But why? I struggled violently, throwing off his hand.
I snatched the electrocardiogram from him, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at him. “There’s nothing wrong with my heart,” I shouted at him. “Matthew didn’t lie to me.”
Theodore caught the paper, frowning at the normal results. “How can it be normal? Olivia, let’s test again, he
said, reaching out to grab my hand.
Matthew’s calm eyes flashed a hint of coldness. I stopped Matthew and the guards about to arrest Theodore
with just a glance.
One of my wrists was firmly held by Theodore, while my other hand, from wrist to fingertips, was gently intertwined with Matthew’s. I released Matthew’s hand, transforming it into a wolf’s claw, and gripped
Theodore’s neck.
I gripped Theodore’s neck, pressing hard, my upper body transforming into a wolf form as I backed him against the wall. “You asshole! The person who has been lying to me from the very beginning is you.”
My voice was laced with scorn. “You threw Leo into Lyra’s Hope Sanctuary, letting him suffer endlessly, yet you played the part of a loving father in front of me.”
I couldn’t believe Theodore would treat his own pup this way. “For Clara, you lied to me again and again. You
even wanted your illegitimate daughter to replace our Rose.”
“You don’t love the Leo I gave birth to, and you don’t love me at all! You adore Rosalie, you adore Clara.”
Theodore panicked, “No, it’s not like that.”
I let out a cold laugh. “You donated a building identical to mine to Crestwood University for her. You gave her access to the emergency blood bank I assembled for myself.”
“You even put the Star of the Ocean necklace you auctioned for me around her neck. Silvanus and Ophelia indirectly caused my mother’s death, and what about you?”
“You continuously funded them, letting them soar to success! You propped their whole family up to the
heavens.”
“Olivia, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong,” Theodore pleaded, his voice cracking. He gripped the wolf’s paw that was clutching his neck.
“My mother drugged me, I was just confused for a moment.” It was all true; he had no way to refute it. “But the one I love has only ever been you.”
My voice was sharp as ice. “Eleonora only used that drug on you once, yet you slept with her for five whole years and even had a daughter!”

“You weren’t just confused for a moment, it was premeditated! You only love yourself!*
“You, in order to constantly exploit her, even brought her into my home, making her Led’s caretaker, inciting conflict between me and Leo! You drugged me for the sake of exploiting her.”
“If it weren’t for the moon goddess’s blessing, if I hadn’t discovered your deception that day after not drinking that cup of tea, you would have continued to deceive and betray me.”
His words made a hint of guilt flash in Theodore’s eyes. “You’re not sorry, Theodore. You just can’t accept that I abandoned you.”
“You can’t accept that your life of having it both ways is completely over. Even more, you can’t accept that I’ve flown out of your grasp and am no longer under your control.”
I looked at his pained, supposedly affectionate eyes with nothing but disgust. “For the rest of my life, don’t bother me. Otherwise, I won’t be polite.”
I slammed Theodore against the wall and then released him. My gaze was calm.
“I’m sorry Livvy, please don’t leave me. I know I was wrong, I’ve always regretted it.” He clung to my legs.
I kicked him away, “You’re not truly remorseful, you’re only sorry because you got caught. Theodore.”
I left without hesitation, linking arms with Matthew. Behind me came the sound of Theodore’s head hitting the wall.
But I did not look back.
The corridor to the Intensive Care Unit was short. Outside, Barrett Kane and Victoria Kane’s expressions were grim.
I released Matthew’s arm and approached them. “Uncle, Aunt, I’m sorry. Seraphina crashed because she was trying to avoid me.”
Barrett’s voice was low, filled with a father’s pain. “It was an accident, no one wanted it to happen. Seraphina is awake, the healer said she’s fine and can go home after a night of observation.”
“It’s just… she doesn’t want to see us.”
Victoria’s gaze fell on Matthew, her tone cold. “You rushed over from the council hall? Is your official business
finished?”
Only then did I realize Matthew had been breathless and anxious when he burst into the examination room.
He had rushed here for me.
“Beta Tristan is handling the aftermath,” he replied.
Victoria’s voice was devoid of yesterday’s joy. “We’re enough here. Since you’re free, go to the hotel for the
mating ceremony preparations.”
“There’s still a lot to do for the bonding ritual.”
Matthew stepped closer to me, leaning in to whisper, “Shall I go in with you to see Seraphina before I leave?”
I nodded and pushed open the door.
(Seraphina’s POV)
Iwas sitting up in bed, my eyes meeting Olivia’s worried ones. I truly looked at Olivia for the first time,
Chapter 159 Olivia Explod
remembering our first meeting at The Gilded Thorn Atelier, where Olivia was gentle, elegant, and beautiful.
Even now, knowing she was Theodore’s obsessive former mate, that positive impression remained.
I grabbed Olivia’s hand, my heart in turmoil. “Liv, why did you have to be my rival, an insurmountable mountain I can’t cross?” 1 pleaded, my voice breaking.
“Teach me, please? How do I make Alpha Theodore like me, love me?”
I was desperate, recalling the moment of the crash when Theodore had shielded Olivia like a guardian angel. In that instant, I knew he would never let go, no matter what.
Olivia was stunned for a moment before gently squeezing my hand back. She spoke of her past with Theodore, how he had been her savior in her darkest hour.
“As for why he liked me…” She shook her head. “I once heard him say that some people don’t have to do anything; they just appear, and people like them.”
“But I must have done something back then, I just don’t remember.”
She then offered me a piece of poignant advice. “You see love as so important right now because you are incredibly fortunate, Seraphina.”
“Your life has no other regrets, so this sudden unobtainable thing has thrown you into self–doubt. You have parents who dote on you, an uncle who protects you…”
“You don’t need to be sad over not getting Theodore.”
“Will I… like someone else?” I asked, tears streaming down my face.
The question struck a chord with Olivia. She glanced down, inhaling Matthew’s scent as he stood so close. “You just need to wait, wait for the fated mate bestowed upon you by the moon goddess.”
(God’s POV)
Outside, Barrett and Victoria watched with a sigh. They had already confirmed the results of the DNA test Matthew had ordered.
It wasn’t between an adult and a pup, but between an adult’s short hair and long hair. The report ambiguously stated the relationship was likely father–daughter or brother–sister.
Barrett reasoned that if Aurora were his son’s, he wouldn’t have needed such a convoluted test. They were
torn.
They feared pushing their son away, but they were deeply uncomfortable with him bonding with Olivia, whose health was poor and whose pup was not his, meaning Matthew might never have an heir.
“I’ll go with them to the mating ceremony preparations,” Victoria said, her voice firm. “I’ll talk to her and make her back down.”
