Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 357

(Victoria's POV)

I watched Ethan struggle against the drug, a smile playing on my lips. Seven years ago, Su Tingwan had managed to capture Ethan's heart despite all the misunderstandings and my interference. She'd earned the Alpha's love and devotion, even for that little mutt Lily.

If she could do it, why couldn't I?

I was certainly no less capable than Su Tingwan. I was more beautiful, more cunning, and I understood Ethan far better than she ever did. Tonight would prove it.

I backed away from Ethan, feigning innocence as his amber eyes burned with accusation.

"I won't touch you," I promised, raising my hands in surrender. "Emmy had no idea about the Savage Moon Elixir in the water. She's innocent."

His expression remained cold, unmoved by my words. I needed to try harder.

"Ethan, I did it because I love you so much," I said softly, my voice breaking with emotion. "I've wanted you for so long. Can't you understand? I had no choice."

I wheeled closer, my eyes pleading. "Just one night, Ethan. That's all I ask."

(Ethan's POV)

I ignored Victoria's pathetic pleas, focusing solely on escaping this trap. The drug was spreading through my system rapidly, heating my blood and clouding my judgment.

Seven years ago, I'd lost control under the influence of drugs. That mistake had given me Lily, but it had also caused years of misunderstanding between Olivia and me. I wouldn't repeat that error.

If I touched Victoria tonight, I would lose any chance of reconciling with Olivia forever. The thought hardened my resolve.

I turned abruptly, heading for the door. My steps were unsteady, but my determination was unwavering.

Victoria didn't try to stop me. Instead, she called to Emma.

"Emmy, go upstairs to bed now."

Emma hesitated, her eyes wide with worry. "But Mommy, what about Daddy? Is he mad at me for giving him that water?"
