Chapter 53: You Think I’d Still Give You a Chance to Get Close to Her
(Olivia’s POV)
“Healer!” Theodore’s voice roared through the corridor as he scooped me into his arms. His movements were swift and desperate as he charged out of Leo’s ward.
“Save my mate quickly!” he shouted at the medical station, his voice cracking with panic.
The healing staff frantically guided Theodore as he carried me into the emergency chamber. My vision blurred as the pain in my lower abdomen intensified, but I could still hear their coordinated voices echoing around me.
“Massive uterine bleeding, emergency healing needed immediately,” one healer called out urgently.
“Apply moonlight herb sedative,” another voice commanded.
“Alpha, please leave now!” Dr. Aris’s firm voice cut through the chaos.
My consciousness slowly drifted away as the piercing pain consumed me. The agony was familiar – I remembered this same torment when I lost my first pup years before.
Tears streamed from my reddened eyes as I grasped Theodore’s hand with what little strength I had left. I had never begged Theodore for anything in all our years together, but desperation made me plead.
“I beg you to save our daughter,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “Don’t make me experience the pain of loss again, Theo.”
After speaking those words, darkness began to envelop my vision as the moonlight herb sedative spread through my body. My hand slipped from Theodore’s palm as unconsciousness pulled me under.
Though my body was unconscious, I could still hear fragments of conversation around me. Healer Elias’s voice reached my ears, reassuring and professional.
“Alpha, rest assured about your Luna and pup. We’ll do everything to save them both. Please leave so we don’t delay the healing.”
Theodore’s response made my blood run cold, even in my unconscious state. His voice was icy, ruthless, completely devoid of the warmth I’d heard moments before.
“No, remove the pup. Focus entirely on saving my mate.”
When Healer Elias hesitated, I heard him cite my wishes to keep the baby. But Theodore’s next words shattered what remained of my heart.
“I am her mate and her Alpha. I have the right to decide what’s best for her.”
Upon hearing these words, I could no longer bear the heartbreak. Complete unconsciousness claimed me, pulling me away from the devastating reality.
(Theodore’s POV)
I coldly ordered the medical team to follow my instructions exactly. My voice carried the full weight of my Alpha authority
as I addressed each healer in the room.
“If my mate isn’t completely unharmed when she leaves this healing chamber, every one of you will lose your positions in the Crimson Pack, I threatened, my eyes scanning their faces.
The medical staff had no choice but to comply with my orders. They nodded reluctantly, understanding the consequences of defying me.
After leaving two pack enforcers stationed outside the healing room, I made my way to the recovery ward. I had other matters to address while Olivia was being treated.
I found Ophelia Thorne feeding medicine to Clara, who had apparently passed the critical period of her own injuries. The sight of them together made my jaw clench with barely contained rage.
Clara’s face lit up with delight when she saw me entering the room. She immediately put on her practiced victim’s act, her voice weak and pitiful.
“Theodore, I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to protect our pup,” she whispered, tears gathering in her eyes. “Please don’t blame Olivia. I know it wasn’t intentional.”
She spun an elaborate fabricated story, her voice gaining strength as she continued her lies. “When Olivia discovered my pregnancy, she became so jealous. She pushed me down the stairs, but I know she didn’t mean to hurt me so badly.”
Despite Ophelia’s frantic attempts to silence her daughter with warning looks, Clara continued weaving her deception. She believed this would make me resent Olivia and give her future opportunities to eliminate any pups Olivia might carry.
“She did it on purpose, Theodore. But I forgive her because I understand her pain,” Clara added, playing the magnanimous victim.
I questioned Clara’s account, my voice dangerously quiet. “Are you telling me that you pushed my partner out of jealousy over my Luna’s pregnancy? And that it was really my partner who pushed you?”
Clara saw my expression and seemed to realize something was wrong. A confused look crossed her face, but she still continued fabricating lies.
“Yes, that’s exactly what happened. Olivia was so angry about the baby-”
When Ophelia tried to slip toward the door, I stopped her with a single commanding word. “Stay.”
I revealed what I truly knew, my voice cutting through their pretenses like a blade. “I know you instructed Leo to harm Olivia. Both of you orchestrated this.”
Despite both she–wolves‘ frantic efforts to deny it, Clara continued her desperate lies. “You don’t understand how vicious Olivia and her mother Lyra were! Lyra stole my mother’s partner and forced Ophelia to be her servant. She nearly killed my mother!”
Her voice rose hysterically as she tried to justify their actions with ancient grievances.
Enraged beyond control, I turned to my enforcers with a cold command. “Beat Ophelia until my mate wakes up. Don’t stop until then.”
As the violent sounds filled the room, Clara desperately tried to protect her mother. She threw herself between Ophelia and the enforcers, pleading with me frantically.
“Please, Theodore! She’s my mother! I’ll do anything you want!” Clara’s voice broke as she mentioned our daughter. “Think of Rosalie! She needs her grandmother!”
I looked down at Clara with complete disgust, my voice colder than winter frost. “Rosalie is no longer worthy of being my daughter after being corrupted by you both.”
When Clara continued begging, clinging to my legs and promising to kneel and apologize to Olivia, I lifted her pitiful face
with one hand.
“You think I’d still give you a chance to get close to her and harm her?”
