Chapter 167: Killian was beaten up
(Olivia’s POV)
The Alpha King isn’t returning to the European Territory? Matthew’s reply was like a bucket of cold water poured over me my heart, just warmed, went cold in an instant.
–
I wandered into the mating dress atelier in a daze. Killian Vance and Elara really were there.
Elara leapt into my arms. “Mom, you look so beautiful today.”
“Can I take a picture with you?”
Matthew entered holding Aurora, met Killian’s gaze, saw the look of certainty on his face, then glanced at his own mother. Victoria Kane knew she had caused the trouble, didn’t dare make a sound, and pulled Seraphina Kane to pick out dresses.
Aurora rubbed her drowsy eyes and reached out wanting me to hold her. I took Aurora, patted Elara’s head and said, “No, you can’t. Today Mom is going to take mating photos with your father; it’s a special picture.”
Although I was in a bad mood, I didn’t want to dampen everyone’s spirits.
Killian’s smile froze on his face. “And what about Aurora and me?”
I was pondering this question when my slim waist was swept up by a large hand, and the faint scent of Matthew’s wolf brushed my nose. I heard Matthew say to Elara, “Okay.”
Elara happily wanted to pick Aurora up. Matthew took Aurora from my hands and put her on the ground, looking back at me. “Let the sisters play.”
“Okay.” When I heard the words “sisters,” the tip of my nose prickled with a slight ache.
Matthew not only acknowledged Aurora, but because Elara had called me “mom,” he also accepted Elara’s identity as an older sister.
I pushed Matthew’s hand, “Should I go do the makeup?”
Matthew relaxed his grip. In the vast shooting room, suddenly only Matthew and Killian remained.
The last unpleasant breakup resurfaced in his mind. As someone who had once served under Matthew, Killian had also been protected by him with the utmost meticulousness and knew he owed him a great deal.
He spoke first, still courteous in tone, “The life Olivia wants, you can’t give her.”
“What kind?” Matthew’s calm expression was the sort that easily provoked others.
Every time Theodore faced him, he would be driven to anger. At that moment, Killian felt the same way.
It was as if the sky had collapsed;/he, Matthew, could easily hold it up. In his eyes, they were insignificant.
There was no problem he couldn’t solve. But there were always problems he couldn’t solve.
“Olivia wants to live freely at the European Territory – can you grant her that?” Killian’s voice rose slightly
“You’re the Alpha King. You’ve been staying in the Sovereign’s Citadel so long – is it really just because of the mating ceremony?”

How do you know?” Matthew asked lightly.
“Rumors are everywhere. I know whatever needs to be known.” Although Killian was only a scientist, his tes with political figures were close, so he could always pick up a few whispers.
“The youngest Alpha King.” Matthew didn’t deny it; he finished the latter half of the sentence, ‘Does Olivia like living at the European Territory?”
“I know her better than you do.” Killian glared, meeting Matthew’s calm eyes.
Always so nonchalant, which made Killian even more uneasy.
“King, don’t you already have the kind of she–wolf you want?”
“Why did you have to snatch Olivia away from me?”
He still found it hard to believe: why did Olivia spend an entire night thinking three years ago, and then could accept Matthew’s mating mark the next day?
The room fell silent for a moment. Matthew’s cold gaze landed on Killian.
Today, he must get a clear answer. Matthew did not directly answer Killian’s question; he simply stated decisively, with no room for negotiation, “From now on, when you see Olivia, you must call her Luna.”
He stood up and walked inside, wanting to see if his mate was ready.
Killian rose and snapped, “Matthew! You must make yourself clear today.”
Killian’s fist came swinging up. Matthew turned, stepped back a pace; Beta Tristan moved to intervene, but was stopped by his glance.
Killian’s fist, regardless, swung again toward Matthew. Matthew grabbed Killian’s fist, gave him an over–the–shoulder throw, and slammed him down onto the floor.
A deafening crash tore through the sky.
Matthew looked down from above at Killian. “You coveted my mate; I should punish you.”
“But I still considered you my friend, Killian.”
“Don’t let there be a next time.” Matthew stepped directly over Killian.
Killian got up, still obstinate. Beta Tristan immediately blocked him.
“Professor Vance, how could you possibly beat the Alpha King?” After he left pack, he created an
organization and experienced countless battles with the rogue wolves.
“Do you really think the king needs us to protect him?” Tristan helped him sit on the sofa.
Killian fell into a bout of self–doubt. Yet no one respected Olivia more or understood what she wanted better
than he did.
The dressing room door was pushed open, several women peeking in.
“What happened?” I asked.
Matthew walked behind me, hands bracing the back of a chair as he leaned forward; the faint sweet scent
from me lingered on his breath.
“Killian took a tumble.” I showed worry on my face. “Is he okay?”

“Nothing serious, someone took care of it.” He placed his hands on my shoulders. “Very beautiful.”
Not stingy with compliments.
I looked at the mirror, our eyes meeting. Matthew bent down and kissed the side of my face.
Point
“Mom is blushing!” Elara’s voice came from behind, making Victoria Kane and Seraphina Kane laugh.
Matthew looked at me, but I didn’t look coy as usual; instead, I seemed burdened with worries. He anxiously
took my hand.
The mating photoshoot went very smoothly. It was just at the end that Isadora Redgrave suddenly arrived
with Iris Drake.
When she saw me, Isadora showed a surprised expression. “I’m here to order a photo book for Leo. The day after tomorrow is your mating ceremony, and it’s also Leo’s eighth birthday,” Isadora said to me.
Iris and Elara were in the same pup creche and the same pack school; after they met they played together,
circling around Aurora.
Both were only children, with no concept of having a younger sister; suddenly seeing such a little cutie, they were especially curious.
“I want to give Leo an early birthday celebration. Can you come?” Isadora asked. “Tomorrow.”
“Leo is out of danger and his condition has improved, but he really wants you to see him,” Isadora said softly.
“I thought you would want to know.”
“I have a lot to take care of,” I replied. Although Isadora had some bad memories, they weren’t that terrible. Isadora felt disappointed but expressed understanding, “It’s understandable that you can’t spare the time with the mating ceremony approaching.”
“Olivia, about last night, I apologize to you on my brother’s behalf,” Isadora sighed. “I tried to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen.”
“He has only himself to blame; those years he really hurt you deeply.” She took my hand.
I pulled my hand away. “We have to go now.”
(God’s POV)
Olivia went to embrace Aurora. Isadora leaned closer, looking at Aurora’s little face, her eyes suddenly widening somewhat.
She really looks so much like her brother.
“We’re leaving, say bye–bye to Sister Iris.” Aurora waved her adorable chubby little hand, “Bye~ bye~”
Iris also said goodbye to them. After they left, Iris handed the clump of soft hair to Isadora and asked puzzledly, “Aunt Isa, why did you have me pull Aurora’s hair?”
Just then, a tall figure entered the shop, took the hair from Isadora’s hand, and, holding a phone, instructed the person across the way, “Clear out the paternity testing room immediately.”
