Chapter 163: His Mate Was Actually Working Against Him
(Theodore’s POV)
Dead silence filled the room. Shadows wrapped around me like a suffocating blanket as I stared at the photo on the coffee table. Olivia in her Luna ceremony dress, radiant and beautiful. That was before everything fell apart.
I had just ended the call with Declan Shaw. Two days. That’s all the time I’d given him to make this nightmare stop.
Heavy pounding echoed through the manor. The sound made my blood freeze.
Captain Ryker burst through the door, followed by several pack enforcers I didn’t recognize. His face was grim.
“Alpha, they are from the territorial investigation unit.”
Alpha Asher White stepped forward, his authority unmistakable. Matthew Kane must have sent him after Olivia traced my signal. The realization hit me like a physical blow.
“Someone here is suspected in a network surveillance case involving pack privacy violations,” Alpha White commanded, his voice cutting through the air. “Please come with us.”
His team immediately began seizing all electronic equipment. Computers, phones, surveillance monitors – everything that connected me to her.
Isadora rushed in from the hallway, Iris clinging to her hand. She’d just returned from the infirmary, and her face went pale at the scene unfolding before us.
“Theodore, what’s happening?” Her voice trembled with concern.
I knew she’d warned me about this. She’d told me monitoring Olivia wasn’t worth the risk, especially outside Crimson Pack territory. But I hadn’t listened.
Captain Ryker stepped forward, his loyalty unwavering even now. “I take full responsibility for any surveillance activities. Alpha Redgrave had no knowledge-”
“No.” Alpha White’s finger pointed directly at me. “Your former mate reported to us that you had installed a tracking device in her jewelry to control her personal freedom. You have a prior record and are the owner of this house. You are the suspect.”
Ice flooded my veins. My mate was actively trying to send me to the pack detention center. She’d turned against me completely.
But even through the betrayal, pride swelled in my chest. She was a computer genius. More skilled than I’d ever imagined.
The pride quickly curdled into resentment. Once I got her back, I would properly teach her how to be a Luna and wife. She needed to learn her place..

At the Sovereign’s Club, Olivia sat across from me, her shoulders slumped with exhaustion. Dark circles shadowed her eyes.
“When will his entanglement ever end?” she lamented, her voice barely above a whisper,
Beta Tristan leaned forward reassuringly. “Once you and the King have your mating ceremony and return to the European Territories, he won’t be able to find you.”
I glanced at my Beta before standing. “Livvy, go meet your new healer. She’s waiting in the east wing.
Olivia nodded and left the room. Her footsteps faded down the corridor.
“Alpha King, the one who gave Declan Shaw the medical records was a healer from the European territory, Beta Tristan reported, his voice grave. “I’ve had Cain handle it.”
He paused, his expression darkening. “Shaw’s influence seems to have penetrated our territory.”
I kept my expression neutral as I clicked open a folder on my desktop. ‘Little Star‘ – filled with photos of Aurora. Some showed her with Olivia, others with Nora. My fingers paused on one particular image. Aurora sleeping peacefully on my chest. Olivia had taken this photo when I thought she was watching a funny video. Instead, she’d been capturing a moment, a faint smile playing on her lips.
“This morning, Barrett Kane called the DNA testing facility,” Tristan continued carefully. “I’m afraid he knows yesterday’s report was for you and Seraphina, not you and Aurora.”
My aura softened as I gazed at the photo. Aurora’s tiny hand curled against my shirt, completely trusting. “What about Shaw’s rejected proposal?” I changed the subject smoothly.
“Still pending. Also, Alpha Corbin has invited you and Luna Olivia to attend a full–moon celebration next week.”

In another room, Olivia’s face lit up when she saw Dr. Aris. The two women embraced warmly, their friendship evident despite the years apart.
“Olivia, do you remember transferring your Crimson Pack shares to the Lyra Blackwood Memorial Trust when you left?” Dr. Aris asked gently.
Olivia nodded, settling into the comfortable chair across from her friend.
Dr. Aris’s expression grew serious. “The legal counsel you entrusted is Kaelen Redgrave’s mate. With your
authorization, he took control of Crimson Pack.”
The color drained from Olivia’s face. “What?”
“Kaelen abandoned his mate and pup back then, and even took away the pack’s liquid assets, almost causing the territory to go bankrupt.“, Olivia’s voice shook. “Can Crimson Pack be in good hands with him?”
Her worry for her former pack members was written across her features.
Dr. Aris quickly reached out to squeeze her hand. “Don’t worry, Olivia. Crimson Pack is running fine. The elders are still listening to Theodore, and you added Rhonda to the list of supervising legal advisors.
Relief flickered in Olivia’s eyes.
“She’s very capable and ensures most of the profits are returned to charity, just as you intended.

Point’s
Olivia’s heart clenched as she asked the question that had been haunting her. “Was… was Leo really sent to Lyra’s Hope Sanctuary by Theodore?”
Dr. Aris confirmed it with a gentle nod. “But Rhonda has been watching over him. The bullying happened because Leo wouldn’t tell anyone. He seemed to think that if he was punished, you would come back.”
Anger flashed across Dr. Aris’s face. “It was Theodore’s fault for planting that twisted idea in his head.”
She leaned forward earnestly. “The sanctuary has been reformed, and Eleonora also has people protecting
him. You are the victim, Olivia. It was never your fault.”
Dr. Aris handed her a photo album from Rhonda. Page after page showed schools built and roads paved by the foundation. Tears welled in Olivia’s eyes as she saw the tangible good her mother’s legacy had
accomplished.
Later, Dr. Aris found herself face–to–face with Matthew in his private office. His presence was intimidating,
even when he wasn’t trying to be.
“What is this therapy?” he asked coolly, his golden eyes studying her intently.
“Confronting trauma, correcting trauma,” she replied, keeping her voice steady despite her nervousness.
“Tomorrow’s topic is Theodore. The best outcome is full recovery, where seeing him no longer causes any
emotional turmoil.”
Matthew’s scrutinizing gaze was intense, searching for any sign of deception or incompetence. Finally, he
gave a curt nod.
“Olivia was very happy to see you. From now on, you will handle her therapy.”
Relief flooded through Dr. Aris. Her heart felt like it would leap out of her throat.
Leaving the Sovereign’s Club, her legs were still weak from the encounter with the Alpha King. The evening air was cool against her flushed cheeks.
A luxury vehicle slowly approached the curb. Dr. Aris recognized it immediately and opened the passenger door, sliding into the familiar interior.
From the backseat, Theodore’s cold voice cut through the silence like a blade.
“Did Matthew Kane keep you?”
