(God’s POV)

    A ck SUV roared out of nowhere, mming into the runaway self–driving car. Metal screeched against asphalt as sparks flew through the air.

    Matthew leaped from the driver’s seat, his golden eyes zing with fury. His Alpha aura radiated outward, making nearby pack members step back.

    Through the swirling dust and panicked crowd, he saw Olivia in Theodore’s arms. She trembled against Theodore’s chest, her wolf seekingfort in his familiar scent of pine and earth.  Matthew’s powerful hand seized her wrist. He pulled her from Theodore’s hold into his own protective arms.

    The scent of cedar and steel surrounded her as she buried her face in Matthew’s chest. Tears finally broke free, streaming down her cheeks.

    Matthew’s chest heaved with barely contained rage as his amber gaze locked with Theodore’s provocative stare. Both Alphas‘ wolves snarled beneath the surface.

    Tasha rushed over, her voice urgent. “My King, we should leave this to the Pack Enforcers.”

    Theodore roared at Matthew through gritted teeth. “She’s terrified!”

    Matthew’s anger softened when he saw the red rims around her eyes. He lifted her into his arms with supernatural strength and strode away.

    In the armored vehicle, he held her on hisp as she silently wept into his shoulder. A cold tension settled between the two powerful Alphas.

    At the Council Hall, Tristan reported to Matthew in his private office. His Beta’s expression was grim as he spread files across the desk.

    “A supernatural hacker infiltrated the vehicle’s systems,” Tristan exined. “This caused the near–fatal crash.”

    “I’m analyzing the digital traces to track down the perpetrator,” he continued.

    A junior intelligence officer named Ronan pressed forward. “My King, we need an immediate report to the European Territory’s ruling council.”

    Matthew furiously swept the files off his desk with inhuman speed. His Alpha aura made the windows rattle as he stormed out.

    Ronan beganining the moment Matthew left. “That woman is nothing but a distraction to our King’s duties.”

    Tristan shut him down with a warning growl. His Beta authority red, making Ronan step back.

    “The hacker incident was neutralized by our Luna,” Tristan dered with absolute loyalty.

    “Show proper respect.”

    Outside the door, Tasha clutched a medical report in her trembling hands. She had caught every word of the conversation.

    Her knuckles whitened as jealousy consumed her thoughts.

    In Matthew’s office, Olivia wore an elegant dress from his wardrobe. The clothes had been prepared specifically for her return.

    She tried to break the oppressive tension. “This dress is beautiful. Thank you for thinking of everything.”

    She attempted to coax him into sharing a meal, but Matthew remained cold and distant. His golden eyes silently demanded an exnation.

    She moved closer, wrapping her arms around his powerful frame. “Thank you for saving my life today.”

    When she tried to kiss him, he turned his head away. His jaw clenched as he avoided her touch.

    She feigned disappointment and moved toward the door. “I should return to Shield Chain Technology.”

    He moved with supernatural speed, grabbing her and pinning her against the bed. His strength was gentle but firm.

    Though she yielded, wrapping her arms around his neck, Matthew was consumed by quiet rage. His wolf was convinced her affection was merely a performance.

    He stared into her eyes, and she couldn’t bear his questioning gaze. Her wolf whimpered under his dominant presence.

    “I was interested in Apex Dynamics‘ technology, so I just went to observe,” she exined. Her eyes welled with tears as she buried her face in his chest.

    “He embraced me out of protective instinct during the chaos,” she continued. “I promise it won’t happen again.”

    She clung to him like a lost pup seeking shelter. “My King, don’t be angry with me, please?”

    His Alpha resolve crumbled despite his wolf’s protests. He kissed her deeply, his mind still screaming that her words were lies.

    “I had Tristan destroy those mate bond severance documents,” he said softly. “Still nning to leave me?”

    Stunned by this revtion, tears streamed down her face as she shook her head. She knewthe papers were meaningless anyway since legal documents with Theodore still existed.

    He kissed her tears away with supernatural gentleness. “You attract danger the moment you leave my protection. Don’t leave me.”

    She insisted on returning to Shield Chain Technology. He relented but issued a warning.

    “Avoid any public gatherings due to the active supernatural hacker targeting you.”

    As she prepared to leave, he mentioned something that made her pause. “The clothes you’re wearing weren’t borrowed from any of my female staff.”

    Puzzled, she opened his massive walk–in closet and froze in amazement. It was filled with women’s clothing in her exact size.

    All carefully selected for her preferences, organized alongside his own Alpha wardrobe. He had been preparing for her return, waiting patiently.

    “Is there nothing else you wish to tell me?” he asked. He was giving her one final opportunity to be honest about her arrangement with Theodore.

    She evaded the question with practiced skill, giving him a quick kiss before turning away. She left her Alpha King standing alone with his doubts.

    (Olivia’s POV)

    Outside the royal chambers, Tasha intercepted me with predatory grace. Her smile was cold and calcting.

    She handed me a medical report with devastating news. The paper felt heavy in my trembling hands.

    “The ebony vine contained a rare toxin that causes permanent infertility after three doses,” Tasha exined with false concern. “The Alpha King has already consumed it once to save your life.”

    Her eyes gleamed with malicious satisfaction. “The ancient healer who provided the remedy has vanished without a trace.”

    Then she delivered a chilling warning that made my wolf recoil. “Miss ckwood, you are our King’s weakness.”

    “Your presence is attracting elite supernatural hackers and rogue elements,” she stated coldly. “The resulting chaos will destroy Matthew’s carefully built kingdom.”

    Her wolf’s dominance pressed against mine. “For the sake of his reign and our territory’s stability, can’t you just disappear from his life?”

    Clutching the damning medical documents, I raced through Apex Dynamics‘ gleaming corridors. My supernatural speed carried me past whispering employees.

    The Crimson Pack members murmured about “the Alpha’s former mate” and “the Luna who got away.” They instinctively stepped aside.

    Theodore’s elite guard led me directly to the executive floor without question. They recognized my authority despite everything.

    I burst into Theodore’s office, and he looked up with surprise. A smile spread across his face as he obviously misunderstood my intention.

    He believed I had finally returned to him.

    I mmed the file onto his chest with all my strength, roaring, “Theodore Redgrave, I’m going to take you to court!”
