(God’s POV)

    Eleonora pinched Isadora, making her yelp, before joyfully approaching them. “Olivia, you’re back.”

    She didn’t speak. Her distant gaze swept over Eleonora and Isadora’s faces before settling on Jack’s face. Her eyes almost instantly moved from his face to his hands – all ten fingers had calluses from weapon handling.

    Jack was very excited to see her and stepped forward to shake her hand, but was stopped by Theodore’s stern look.

    “Mother, Olivia is tired.”

    “I’ll take her to the room to rest.”

    “Good.” Eleonora didn’t mind her coldness and replied happily, “Mother will have Martha make more dishes that Olivia likes.”

    Isadora watched her brother and sister–inw’s retreating figures with worry.

    She was carried by Theodore to the master bedroom and ced on the sofa. Everything she could see was identical to her former room in the Redgrave Manor.

    Her hand was then grasped by Theodore.

    She came back to her senses to see Theodore kneeling on one knee before her, holding a ring box containing two mating rings – their oriTashal mating rings.

    Many memories flooded her mind.

    Like how the lost mating ring had appeared around ra’s neck.

    Like how she had ced the mating ring at Rose’s memorial.

    “Livvy, thank you for giving me another chance.” Theodore’s eyes held the same deep affection as always.

    She watched as Theodore slipped the mating ring onto her right ring finger, where there was still medical tape. The ring fit perfectly over the tape.

    “Livvy, you’ve gotten so thin.” Theodore embraced her.

    His kiss fell on her face, moving toward her lips.

    She pressed against Theodore’s chest. “I’m tired.”

    The next moment, she was lifted by Theodore and ced on the bed.

    Theodore tucked the nket around her.

    He sat by the bedside, gazing deeply at her small face as she closed her eyes to rest. Hisrge hand fell on her forehead, smoothing her messy hair.

    He bent down and held her, burying his face in her neck, breathing in her sweet scent.

    He held her – warm, soft, real her.

    She felt the burning heat and moisture on her shoulder, her longshes trembling violently.

    She heard his murmur: “Luna, I missed you so much.”

    She didn’t know how long he held her. When she heard footsteps and the sound of a door closing, she opened her tired eyes. The sky outside the window had already darkened.

    Her mental energy began spreading from the master bedroom, methodically searching through the hallway room by room, ultimately locking onto the study.

    She stood up and walked towards the study. In the dim light, the surveince screens on the wall flickered with fluorescent light – showing her office.

    She saw theptopputer.

    Her hands fell on the keyboard, pressing rapidly. Soon theptop was unlocked.

    She saw hacking software designed for professionals.

    At that moment, the study door was pushed open.

    Theodore’s voice came in: “You and your things need to disappear from the estate immediately. My Luna cannot see them…”

    The study lights turned on.

    She met Theodore’s shocked amber eyes and the panicked Jack behind him.

    Jack saw theptop screen and her hand poised over the [enter] key. He panicked. “No, Cipher goddess, don’t destroy myputer.”

    “I’m not here to deal with you. I didn’t intentionally track you. I was justmissioned by Alpha Theodore to help find his Luna, and stumbled upon you by ident.”

    “Alpha, you must stop her.” Jack saw Theodore standing there speechless and cried out in rm.

    Theodore looked at her in shock and panic. She radiated a murderous aura – a side of her he had never seen before.

    “Monitoring me?” Her voice was full of mockery. “Then threatening me?”

    “No, I’m not threatening you.”

    “You’re in danger. Many people are hunting you. I just want to protect you.”

    “Luna, Lyra told you to return to my side and not touchputers. She must have meant the same thing.”

    “Then let theme!”

    Her eyes shattered like ice, cutting through Theodore’s heart like a de. Her eyes zed with fury, her whole body radiating a cold aura as her slender fingers pressed down.

    Explosions echoed throughout the estate.

    Theptop, therge screens on the wall, and all electronic devices connected to the samework exploded simultaneously, filling the air with thick smoke.

    Screams continued.

    Jack, terrified beyond measure, knelt on the ground, wailing at the sight of hisptop sparking with mes.

    Her gaze was contemptuous. At this moment, she seemed like a goddess controlling everything.

    “Protect me?” She walked up to Theodore, looking up at him with rebellious, ice–cold eyes. “Or control me?”

    “Theodore, no one can threaten me.”

    “No, I’m not threatening you. I love you too much. I’m afraid you’re in danger. I want to protect you.” Theodore grasped her hand.

    At that moment fire trucks ambnces and pack emergency responders arrived outside almost simultaneously.

    She listened to the sirens outside and looked coldly at Theodore. “I don’t need your self–righteous love.”

    “Livvy, you used to trust me so much. Trust me one more time, okay? If Jack can discover that you’re Cipher, others will too. Stop touchingputers, okay? The European Territory is dangerous. Come back to Stonehaven City with me. Let me protect you.” Theodore refused to let go of her. “I won’t hurt you.”

    “Before?” Her voice was ice–cold. “Before, I trusted you so much and listened to you because I loved you, Theodore.”

    “That doesn’t mean your words were right or that what you did was for my good.”

    “And now, I don’t love you anymore.” She pushed Theodore’s hands away from hers.

    Theodore watched as her hands slipped away from his bit by bit. He wanted to hold on tight, but couldn’t grasp them no matter how hard he tried.

    The thick smoke continued to invade his lungs and blur his vision.

    Pack emergency responders entered the estate and escorted them out separately.

    By the time Theodore came out, she was nowhere to be found in the crowded scene outside.

    Jack clutched hisputer, now a piece of scrap metal, crying in despair. “Alpha, the Cipher goddess destroyed everything. All the surveince footage is gone.”

    “And my work…”

    She returned to the Aurora Pavilion and pushed open the manor door. Inside, except for the moonlight roses scattered everywhere, it was empty.

    She turned on her phone, and it immediately rang. The caller ID showed “Alpha King.”

    She answered, her small face wearing a smile, but heard a gentle female voice from the other end.
