Chapter 135: Olivia’s Secret Revealed
(God’s POV)
Victoria gasped, the sound sharp in the tense silence. Matthew’s face drained of all color, becoming a stark white mask of
dread.
Caelan produced a tablet, his movements deliberate as he played a video. The screen flickered to life, showing a disoriented Matthew and a distraught Cynthia stumbling into a bedroom. Muffled, pained cries echoed from the small speakers, a ghostly record of a past sin.
“This was ten years ago,” Caelan’s voice cut through the room, cold and precise. “After your engagement party.”
He then slid a medical report onto the table. “Ectopic pregnancy surgery,” he announced, “Because of what happened that night, my sister is now infertile for life.”
Victoria’s gaze flickered between her ashen–faced son and the quietly weeping Cynthia. A wave of abject horror washed over her as the full weight of the debt the Kane family owed crashed down upon them.
Olivia stared at the damning evidence, her mind a dizzying replay of Matthew’s past denials. He had sworn to her there was nothing between him and Cynthia. He had looked her right in the eye and lied.
First Theodore with his five–year affair. Now Matthew with this hidden, devastating past. A second, deeper betrayal lanced through her heart, more painful than the first. How could the Alpha King be so cold, so heartless? How could he lie with
such practiced ease?
A fierce resolve settled over her. She would not be made a fool of again.
Yanking her hand from Matthew’s stunned grasp, she declared with chilling finality, “I won’t be marked by you!”
She whirled around, desperate to escape the suffocating nightmare the room had become. But her escape was cut short.
“My Love, don’t go!” Theodore cried, his good hand shooting out to seize one of hers.
At the exact same moment, Matthew’s fingers clamped around her other wrist, his grip like iron.
She stood frozen between them, a trophy of their sins, trapped by their competing claims on her soul.
Theodore tried to hold on to Olivia’s sympathy, his voice weak and pleading. “My Love, my wrist is broken, can you call a
healer for me?”
Olivia flinched and pulled her hand away from his touch. His broken wrist slammed against the headboard, making him
gasp in pain as he looked at her with pitiful eyes.
Victoria immediately summoned a healer, scrambling to clean up the mess Matthew had created. She was terrified that if Theodore were to challenge Matthew to an Alpha duel, the damage to his reputation would be immense, even if the challenge didn’t succeed.
Matthew held Olivia’s hand even tighter, his voice low and urgent. “I didn’t lie to you.”
He knew exactly what she was thinking. The doubt in her eyes cut through him like silver.
Before Olivia could react, Caelan began to cause a scene. “Lady Victoria, I respect you and Alpha Kane. But now, with the evidence right in front of us, Matthew continues to ignore Cynthia. This is a great insult to our Mooncrest pack!”
He threatened, his voice rising with indignation. “While our pack may not match the Kane family’s power, we won’t be treated so disgracefully!”

He grabbed Cynthia’s hand, declaring he would seek justice. His intention to publicize the matter was crystal clear.
Victoria quickly stepped forward to stop them. “Please, let’s resolve this privately. There’s no need to involve the entire
territory.”
She turned to Matthew, her voice sharp with frustration. “Miss Blackwood has clearly rejected you and chosen Alpha Redgrave. Stop pestering her.”
Matthew frowned, his jaw clenched. “Olivia didn’t say that.”
Olivia, wanting the chaos to end, remained silent. Her silence felt like a weight pressing down on everyone in the room.
Theodore saw her silence as a victory, his heart blooming with joy. He reached for her hand again, though she deftly
avoided him.
“Let go of me,” Olivia said to Matthew, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Son, let her go!” Victoria urged desperately. “Can’t you see? She’s nervously accompanying Alpha Redgrave to the infirmary for a minor injury. She doesn’t have you in her heart!”
The confrontation was cruelly interrupted by Cynthia, who directed her attack at Olivia. “Miss Blackwood, are you really
going to two–time and ruin Matthew’s future?”
Her voice trembled with manufactured emotion. “You’re a mother too. I heard you also lost a pup. Can’t you show me even a little bit of sympathy?”
The words struck Olivia like a physical blow. Her heart clenched with the memory of her lost Rose and the pup she nearly
lost, Aurora.
Theodore saw the pain flash across her face. At that moment, two pairs of cold eyes – his and Matthew’s – fixed on
Cynthia with murderous intent.
Olivia pulled Matthew’s hand off her own. “I can’t insist anymore,” she said, her smile bitter and defeated.
Just as Theodore smugly prepared to order everyone out, Matthew calmly said, “Come in.”
Two figures walked in: the waiter from earlier and Cassian – a notorious playboy known throughout the territory.
The waiter pointed directly at Cynthia, his voice shaking. “It was her who told me to add silver to the hot moonlight tea
and splash it on Miss Blackwood’s face.”
Cassian confessed immediately, his usual arrogance replaced by fear. “Alpha King, it was Miss Mooncrest who paid me to
spread rumors on the forum.”
Cynthia froze, her face turning pale as winter snow. Victoria stared in disbelief, horrified that the she–wolf she had pitied for years was so manipulative.
Seraphina, who had just returned from speaking with the healers, erupted in fury. “Sister Cynthia, how could you be so vicious! Alpha Theodore’s back is ruined. If that had hit Olivia’s face, she would have been scarred!”
Hearing this, Theodore’s gaze turned murderous. The thought of his delicate Luna enduring such pain filled him with a rage so intense he wanted to destroy the entire Mooncrest pack.
He glared at Matthew, blaming the “Alpha King” for being unable to control a single she–wolf. He began to cough violently from the sheer force of his anger.
Seeing Olivia’s shaken expression, Matthew took her hand again. This time, she didn’t pull away.
“Mother,” he asked calmly, his voice cutting through the tension. “Do you still want me to mark Cynthia?”
Caelan quickly stepped in to shield his sister. “This wasn’t Cynthia’s doing! It was my idea!”

Cynthia’s quiet denial was barely audible, but her brother pressed on. “But Cynthia did suffer an ectopic pregnancy for Matthew, lost their pup, and became infertile.”
Trapped by the political implications, Victoria reluctantly conceded. “Matthew, one thing at a time. You still have to mark
Cynthia.”
Ignoring his mother completely, Matthew leaned close to Olivia. His warm breath was a secret against her ear.
“You’re not going to help me? Never mind helping me as your mate. Won’t you help your King? Are you going to watch me
be framed?”
Her eyes widened in shock. He was the Alpha King. He was her superior in the Shadow Syndicate.
“Go on, help me,” he urged, his tone almost pitiful. “Don’t let me be framed, Olivia.”
Understanding dawned on her face. This was a command from her King, not a plea from a rejected mate.
As Beta Tristan brought her a laptop, she stepped out of the room. Theodore, seizing the moment, ordered Captain Ryker
to block the door, trapping the Mooncrest siblings inside.
“You instigated an assault and spread rumors,” he said coldly, his Alpha authority filling the room. “This debt needs to be
settled.”
A short while later, Beta Tristan returned with Olivia. He played a new surveillance video on the laptop screen.
The footage showed Cynthia helping a disoriented Matthew into a bedroom. Less than two minutes later, Matthew
stumbled out alone, clearly still drugged.
Then, another man entered the room where Cynthia remained. The video ended, but the implication was crystal clear.
As Caelan sputtered that the video was fake, Cynthia broke down. Her tears were a silent admission of guilt, her
shoulders shaking with the weight of her exposed lies.
Just as they tried to flee, pack enforcers intercepted them in the hallway. They were led away under guard, their schemes finally unraveled.
The truth was out: Matthew was innocent, and the scandal was a malicious fabrication.
Theodore immediately tried to drive a wedge between the couple. “Olivia, Matthew doesn’t trust you, and neither does the
Kane family. He’s not worthy of you.”
Victoria, however, rushed to Olivia’s side, apologizing profusely. “I’m so sorry for doubting you. I promise it will never
happen again.”
Ashamed of her own lapse in judgment, Olivia softly accepted the apology. She had forgotten how capable she was, how easily she could uncover the truth when she put her mind to it.
Relieved, Victoria exclaimed with genuine joy. “Thank goodness it was all a misunderstanding! Otherwise, if he marked Cynthia, our Kane bloodline would have no heirs!”
She started to lead Olivia and Seraphina from the room, leaving Theodore to his recovery. But he had one last card to play.
His eyes met Matthew’s, and with suppressed fury, he delivered his final blow. “Matthew Kane, Olivia can’t have any more
pups. You can’t mark her.”
