Chapter 32: His Belt Binds Her Hands
(Olivia’s POV)
Theodore suddenly rushed into the café, pulling me behind him. Before I could react, I saw Theodore throw a punch at Killian, who stepped back to dodge.
The power of the two Alphas clashed in the air, filled with dangerous tension. The coffee cups on nearby tables rattled from the force of their auras.
The pack members in the café all recognized the three of us. I heard them whispering beside me about the recent troubles of the Crimson Pack.
“Isn’t that Luna Olivia? She looks so pale.”
“I heard about the incident at her mother’s memorial grove. How terrible.”
“Who’s that man? He looks familiar.”
Clearly, we had become a hot topic in the supernatural community. Someone nearby also recognized Killian as the person who had called the pack’s medical personnel when I collapsed here that day.
“Oh, that’s the professor who saved Luna Olivia when she fainted in her car!”
I broke free from Theodore’s increasingly tight grip and looked at him with surprise. My gaze moved from his gloomy
handsome face to his impeccable suit.
I couldn’t help but think how no one would imagine that this well–dressed, dignified Alpha Theodore had been in such a debauched state just minutes ago. The image of him thrusting into Clara while she was bound with his belt flashed through my mind.
When Theodore saw me rubbing my wrist, he realized he had hurt me.
Hearing the residents‘ words, his expression turned cold again as he asked, “My love, did you come here to see this man?”
I looked at Killian with the distant gaze of meeting a stranger for the first time. “Were you the one who saved me that
day?”
Killian met my distant gaze, waves stirring in his eyes as he lowered his voice to confirm. “Yes, that was me.”
I thanked him politely. “How should I address you?”
A territory resident interjected, introducing Killian enthusiastically. “This is Professor Killian Vance from Crestwood
University. He’s a remarkable figure who recently moved to our community.”
The resident explained further, “Without Professor Vance’s attentiveness, we wouldn’t have discovered Luna Olivia had
fainted in her car.”
My gaze fell on Killian’s face again, naturally showing gratitude.
Realizing we didn’t know each other, Theodore concluded he had misunderstood. He stepped forward, extending his hand and interrupting our eye contact.
“Sorry, I saw you staring at my mate and thought you had ulterior motives. Please forgive me.”
Theodore’s voice was polite but cold. “I’m her mate, Theodore Redgrave. Since you saved my mate, I must reward you handsomely!”

His cold aura was full of Alpha aggression. Though he spoke politely, his gaze grew increasingly sharp.
(Killian’s POV)
I glanced at Theodore’s extended hand with indifference and some disdain. “No need to be polite. I would have called the pack medics for anyone else too.”
I walked straight past the couple and left the café. After walking far away, I couldn’t suppress my emotions and looked back through the glass window to see their figures overlapping.
My deep gaze became even sharper. Since Olivia had fainted from excessive blood loss near that manor, I had investigated the manor’s situation.
I discovered that while Theodore was the owner, a young beautiful she–wolf lived there permanently. That bastard wasn’t satisfied with having Livvy; he secretly kept a mistress on the side.
Afternoon, I had seen the news about the outrageous incident at Olivia’s mother’s memorial grove. Someone had deliberately knocked over her mother’s urn.
She must be very sad. But I didn’t expect to see Theodore’s car parked outside that estate when I went out for a walk.
Thinking about how Olivia must be heartbroken, while Theodore, as her partner, wasn’t by her side comforting her but instead came here to have an affair with his mistress, I felt very upset. That bastard doesn’t deserve to be Olivia’s partner
at all.
It was just then that I happened to see the heartbroken Olivia running out.
Even knowing that Olivia would soon leave Theodore, I still couldn’t suppress my concern. She was such an excellent
she–wolf and shouldn’t be let down like this.
I wouldn’t let Theodore off the hook.
(Olivia’s POV)
Back at the café, other residents tried to ease the atmosphere. “Don’t mind it, Alpha Theodore. Great figures all have their
quirks.”
When Theodore questioned the term “great figure,” the resident explained that Killian was said to have an extraordinary identity and powerful abilities. Theodore irritably waved his hand and didn’t continue the conversation.
Theodore put his arm around my shoulder and asked, “My love, weren’t you keeping vigil at mother’s mourning hall? How did you come here?”
I slapped his hand away, thinking about how he had just been touching Clara’s private parts, and I felt disgusted.
“I originally wanted to ask if you’d found the criminal who broke my mother’s urn, but I discovered you came here instead.”
I continued with a frown, “I followed your car’s GPS location. Weren’t you supposed to be at the pack headquarters handling a sudden territorial incident? Why are you here?”
Theodore believed my words completely. Seeing me frowning angrily and acting unwilling to deal with him, which clearly showed I was concerned about him, he said, “My love, mother didn’t take good care of you.”
He gestured toward the manor, “I thought the manor in the northern suburbs was empty, so I came to arrange it, planning to bring you and Leo to live here.”
I replied firmly, “I don’t want to live here. The atmosphere here is bad.”
I began weaving my lie seamlessly, “That day when the four of us had dinner together, didn’t Evie leave early because she had something to do? I was worried about her, so I followed her here.”
“Do you know what I saw? Clara lives in the penthouse manor of this community.”
My voice grew sharper, “Clara is just a recent college graduate – how could she afford to live in a manor here, especially the penthouse? It must be Caleb who bought it for her.”
I shook my head in disgust, “Evie probably got wind of it that day and came specifically to catch the mistress. But strangely, Evie got along harmoniously with Clara.”
I walked toward the manor with long strides. “With so many recent events, I haven’t had time to share this discovery with her. Now that both you and I are here, it’s the perfect opportunity.”
I took out my phone and sent the location to Evelyn, along with a voice message: “Caleb didn’t send away Clara, that mistress. She’s right here. Theo and I are keeping watch. Settle your scores and grievances – I won’t let my sister be
bullied by anyone.”
I sent it and quickly received an “OK” in reply. Meeting Clara’s provocative gaze from behind the second–floor glass
window of the manor, my eyes turned cold.
“I already gave her one chance, but she refused to leave Caleb. When dealing with mistresses, you have to be ruthless for
them to know fear.”
Theodore naturally moved closer to me, intimately brushing away the hair from my forehead. His eyes were gentle as
water.
“My love, I support whatever you do.”
I let out a disdainful laugh. A few minutes later, Evelyn quickly arrived with several she–wolves and rushed to the second
floor.
Soon, the intermittent sounds of curses and screams came from upstairs. I slowly went upstairs, and there happened to
be a belt lying on the stairs.
A socialite exclaimed, “Isn’t that the belt Alpha Theodore wore today at the memorial service for Luna Olivia’s mother!”
