Chapter 184: She doesn’t want you anymore, Matthew
(God’s POV)
“Alpha Redgrave, watch your words.” Matthew’s voice was indifferent as he looked at Theodore and
personally handed the pizza box to him. “My mate doesn’t like junk food.”
He respected Leo’s sentiment, but Olivia’s health came first. The greasy pizza would only worsen her
condition.
As his words fell, several pack enforcers from the neutral territory council walked up to Theodore. Their
uniforms bore the official seal of the territorial authority.
“Alpha Redgrave, you have violated the council’s restraining order. Please move out of this building
immediately,” a council official stated firmly.
Theodore frowned sharply, looking at the impassive Matthew. The Alpha King’s expression revealed nothing, his golden eyes cold as winter frost.
But Matthew didn’t even spare him a glance, heading straight for the elevator. His dismissal was more
cutting than any insult.
Theodore chased after him with the pizza box but was blocked by Gamma Joric Slate. The imposing warrior
stepped between them like an immovable wall.
Watching the elevator doors slowly close, seeing Matthew’s calm and composed expression, Theodore
sneered. “Junk food? You don’t understand Olivia at all, you don’t even know what she likes to eat.”
His voice rose with desperate fury. “On what grounds are you competing with me?”
With a hint of triumph, he added, “The recording that was exposed, I listened to it. It’s Olivia’s voice. She doesn’t want you anymore, Matthew Kane.”
In the instant the elevator doors closed, their eyes met. A frosty glint gathered in Matthew’s pale eyes, and
his intimidating Alpha aura caused Theodore’s dark eyes to turn grim.
The temperature in the hallway seemed to drop several degrees. Even the council officials stepped back instinctively.
Gamma Slate stepped back and retorted with disdain, “Alpha Redgrave, you painstakingly tried to get close to our Luna, offering your so–called sincerity, but does our Luna want it?”
His voice carried the weight of absolute certainty. “Our Luna does not want it.”
The words deeply pierced Theodore’s heart. Each syllable was like a silver blade twisting in his chest.
Gamma Slate lowered his voice, his tone becoming more menacing. “Our Luna and the King are true mates. If the mating ceremony hadn’t been interrupted by an assassin, it wouldn’t have been terminated.”
Theodore’s face paled at the reminder of his own interference. The memory of that night still haunted him.
“A new ceremony is already in the works. This time, there will be absolutely no mishaps. Gamma Slate’s eyes glowed with fierce loyalty.

“As for the rumors, they have already been disproven. Alpha Redgrave, today we’ll give you a small punishment out of consideration for the injuries you sustained for our Luna and the King.”
The mention of his sacrifice felt hollow now. Theodore’s jaw clenched as rage built inside him.

“I hope you’ll have some self–awareness.” As Gamma Slate finished, the council staff had already approached to negotiate with Theodore.
Gamma Slate took another elevator down. Matthew stood downstairs, his expression inscrutable, hands clasped behind his back.
The Alpha King’s stillness was more unnerving than any display of anger. His golden eyes stared at nothing,
lost in thought.
Gamma Slate approached him cautiously. “Your Majesty, Theodore will be kicked out tonight. The trending topics and the photos in the reporters‘ hands have all been dealt with.”
Relief flickered across Matthew’s features, though his expression remained controlled. “No one will bother Luna Olivia again. Tonight’s interview will only appear on the council’s desk.”
“Your father, Barrett Kane, will also make some arrangements, so there should be no problem. It’s all thanks
to Luna Olivia.” Gamma Slate’s admiration for Olivia was evident in his voice.
Gamma Slate then added hopefully, “But it would be even better if you could move in with Luna Olivia.”
As Gamma Slate accompanied Matthew to the car, he only heard the King give a few faint acknowledgments. The younger wolf didn’t dare to persuade him further.
Inside the car, Matthew sat wearily. The weight of leadership pressed down on his shoulders like a physical
burden.
He recalled the last time Killian had invited them to his manor for dinner and cooked spiced venison, Olivia’s expression had been so happy then, her eyes lighting up with genuine joy.
Her body wasn’t suited for heavily seasoned food, especially spicy dishes, yet she loved it. The contradiction
had charmed him then.
He glanced at Gamma Slate and suddenly asked, “Am I being too strict?”
Gamma Slate was confused, thinking he was referring to a pack–related territorial matter. The question
seemed to come from nowhere.
But Matthew had already turned his attention back to his documents, making it seem as if the question was just a figment of Gamma Slate’s imagination.
“Alpha Redgrave, you don’t want to be taken away by force, do you?” the council official asked coldly.
Theodore’s hands clenched into fists. The humiliation burned through him like acid.
“Twenty meters, is it?” Theodore asked through gritted teeth.
“Yes.” The official’s tone brooked no argument.
He called Captain Ryker, his voice tight with controlled fury. “Move everything to the building next door.”
After hanging up, he angrily faced the officials. “Is that twenty meters?”
The staff said no more. Their job was done, and they had no interest In Theodore’s wounded pride.

Theodore moved into the building opposite Olivia’s, into an apartment on the same floor. From here, he could see her master bedroom by pulling open the curtains.
He sat on the sofa by the window, his dark eyes fixed on her building. She was only temporarily with Matthew,
he told himself.
She would eventually return to him once she had suffered enough in the outside world. Matthew could give her nothing, while he could give her everything.
Just then, Captain Ryker entered with a grim expression. “Alpha, it’s a call from the psychiatric facility
director.”
Theodore’s attention snapped to his subordinate. “What is it?”
He didn’t bother taking the phone. Whatever Clara had done now, he had no patience for it.
After a brief conversation, the bodyguard reported, “Clara attempted suicide.”
Theodore’s gaze turned instantly frigid. The news should have shocked him, but he felt only cold indifference.
“She was rescued in time,” Captain Ryker quickly added, reading his Alpha’s dangerous mood.
“But the director is worried it will happen again. She wants to be discharged and wants to see Rosalie.”
Theodore’s expression didn’t change. Clara’s desperation meant nothing to him now.
“Send the pup over,” Theodore ordered coldly.
Captain Ryker hesitated. “Alpha, into the facility as well? That place isn’t good for a pup’s development.”
Theodore glanced at him with eyes like winter ice. “Bring them both to Stonehaven and lock them in a psychiatric facility here.”
(Olivia’s POV)
The next morning, I came out of my room to find Matilda, a caregiver sent by Matthew, setting out a lavish breakfast. The spread was impressive – fresh fruit, warm pastries, and perfectly prepared eggs.
But all I could think about was the cost. I couldn’t afford another high–salaried helper on top of the nanny for
Aurora.
The combined annual salary made me feel utterly strapped for cash. My savings were dwindling faster than I’d anticipated.
The thought of my financial situation made the rich breakfast taste bland. Every bite reminded me of money!
didn’t have.
I decided I had to send Matilda back. Matthew’s generosity was touching, but I couldn’t accept charity.
After a quick meal, I left with Aurora. Marcus was already waiting downstairs, looking more energized than I’d seen him in weeks.
“Miss Olivia, someone wants to invest in us!” he said excitedly, practically bouncing on his feet.
My heart leaped with hope. “Really?”
They’re at The Onyx Lounge. Let’s go right now.” His enthusiasm was infectious.
I got into the car, feeling a renewed sense of hope. Maybe our luck was finally turning around.

An hour later, Marcus led me into a large private room at The Onyx Lounge. The space was elegantly appointed, speaking of serious money.
“Alpha Caelan, I’ve brought our Luna Olivia,” Marcus said, guiding me toward the center of the gathering.
I stepped forward, but upon seeing Caelan Mooncrest, I recoiled two steps in horror. My blood turned to ice in my veins.
The man who had once tried to force me into marriage sat before me, his calculating eyes fixed on my face.
“Luna Olivia, what’s wrong?” Marcus, unaware of our history, whispered praises of Caelan.
“You’re new here, so you might not know, but the Mooncrest pack is one of the biggest conglomerates in the European Territory.”
His words felt distant, muffled by the roaring in my ears. “If he invests in us, our ‘Shield Chain‘ technology will definitely take off!”
However, I grabbed Marcus’s hand and turned to leave without a word. Every instinct screamed at me to run.
As Marcus tried to apologize to Caelan, Caelan was already approaching us with his walking cane. His pack warriors surrounded us like wolves circling prey.
I pulled out my phone to call for help, but Caelan’s chilling voice echoed through the room.
“Sister, aren’t you looking for investment? I’ll invest any amount you want.”
