Chapter 168: I won’t let you mate with him!
(God’s POV)
Isadora clutched her pup Iris tightly, knowing she had done something utterly outrageous. Something that could hurt Luna Olivia. If the paternity test proved Aurora was her brother’s pup, Theodore would undoubtedly stop at nothing to get her back.
To bring Olivia home, he would resort to any means necessary. Her heart in a panic, she walked to the front desk of the atelier.
“Do you have the contact information for the mating ceremony photography company from earlier?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
The receptionist looked up with a polite smile. “Of course, ma’am. Let me get that for you right away.”
Isadora’s hands shook as she took the business card. She knew what she was about to do would change everything.
The group arrived at The Moonstone Summit Hotel, the same venue where they had the feast tasting the day before. The largest banquet hall was already being decorated for the mating ceremony.
Elegant white roses and silver ribbons adorned every surface. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the
preparations.
The
first.
ceremony officiant was a popular celebrity, Audrey. Seeing them, she approached and took Olivia’s hand
“The Luna of the Alpha King is truly so beautiful,” she said with a warm smile.
Olivia, though somewhat surprised, responded politely. “Miss Audrey is also very beautiful.”
In her heart, she coldly noted that the host didn’t even know her name. She wasn’t particularly bothered and took Aurora and Elara to find the manager about preparing pup food.
Audrey; exuding professional charm, then turned to Matthew and extended her hand. “Alpha King, let me introduce myself. I am your mating ceremony officiant, Audrey.”
Matthew merely glanced at her, his expression cold. Before Audrey’s hand could be left hanging, Beta Tristan quickly grasped it.
“Miss Audrey, I’ll arrange for two people to assist you with the rehearsal. The King and Luna Olivia will just watch from below,” he said, releasing her hand.
Audrey’s smile didn’t falter despite Matthew’s indifference. “But there’s a mate marking ceremony. It wouldn’t be right to have a substitute for that, would it?”
She pressed, turning her appeal to Elder Victoria. “Elder Victoria, what do you think?”
Elder Victoria, however, glanced at her son’s back and stated flatly. “No need for a public declaration.”
She knew her tight–lipped son was incapable of uttering romantic words in front of a crowd.

Chapter 168 1 won’t let yo
Inside the private dining room, the hotel manager brought in a small ride–on toy, Elara gleefully pushed Aurora around the room in it.
I sat with Killian, his arm resting casually along the back of my chair as we spoke in low voices,
“How is Selena learning with Gina?” I asked.
Killian let out a hearty laugh. “She might be better suited as your assistant. That girl has no talent for strategy; she’s giving Gina, her mentor, a headache.”
He recalled with amusement how Selena had bluntly told the enforcers they hadn’t been kidn*pped by Theodore. “She’s also a bit stubborn.”
My expression fell slightly. “Then I’d better have her come back with me.”
My voice was tinged with sadness as I remembered Matthew wouldn’t be returning to the European territory base.
“Something on your mind?” Killian asked gently.
Just then, the ride–on toy, carrying the two pups, lost control and veered straight towards us. Killian reacted
instinctively, wrapping his arms around me and lifting me onto my chair to shield me from the impact.
The toy crashed into the chair, and I wobbled, my hands flying to Killian’s shoulders to steady myself. I looked
at the two pups, who were laughing with delight at the collision, and a gentle smile touched my lips.
As Killian helped me down, I looked up, my words of thanks dying on my lips. Matthew was standing in the
doorway, his gaze impossibly calm.
Killian immediately released his hold on me. I took a step forward but then hesitated,
“Clear out a room,” Matthew ordered Beta Tristan beside him.
He gave me one last look before turning and walking out of the room. A plainclothes pack enforcer approached me.
“Luna, the Alpha King has something to say to you.”
My expression turned gloomy; I recognized the formal tone of a superior addressing a subordinate. I followed
the enforcer into the adjacent private room, the door closing behind me.
Matthew was seated on the sofa. “Come here,” he said, his voice soft.
I walked over, and he immediately pulled my hand, drawing me down to sit on his lap.
“Do you have an order for me?” I asked, my voice laced with a hint of formality.
His large hand slid from my abdomen to my back, circling my waist and pulling me firmly against him.
“Something on your mind?” he asked, echoing Killian’s question.
I hesitated, then rested my head on his shoulder. “I don’t want to stay here,” I confessed, my voice filled with
sadness.
“I want to take Aurora back to the European base. We’ll come back to see you, and you can visit us.” Matthew’s voice remained gentle as he lifted my chin. “You’ve made a decision without discussing it with
me?”
Chapter 168: Iwon’t let yo
He gazed at my downcast eyes, realizing I must have overheard his conversation with Elder Victoria, He
admired my stubbornness.
Leaning closer, he kissed me, I stared back, my eyes wide with shock as he deepened the kiss, one hand cradling my chin, the other pressing against the back of my head.
My eyes reddened with a mix of surprise and vulnerability. He finally pulled away, holding me tightly.
“Don’t be so quick to decide,” he murmured, his voice slightly breathless. “I will handle it.”
When Matthew led me back to the dining table, I was completely flushed and disoriented. Just then, Beta Tristan, having received a call from Isadora, leaned in and whispered something to Matthew.
Unfazed, Matthew placed some venison on my plate. “Shall we go to the Pack Registry after the meal?” he asked casually.
I simply nodded, avoiding his intense gaze, still reeling from his advances. After eating, I took my moonlight herb medicine, and then Matthew, Aurora, and I went to the nearest Pack Registry Office.
It was the lunch break, yet the entire staff of the registration hall was standing by, ready to serve. Beta Tristan presented a series of documents for our official mating registration.
As we tried to get Aurora’s tiny handprint, the little pup grew fussy and uncooperative. At that moment, a tall, imposing figure stormed into the hall with his pack warriors, brandishing a paternity test report, his face a
mask of fury.
“Olivia,” Theodore roared, “I won’t let you mate with him!”
