Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 369

(Ethan's POV)

Connor Blackthorn's words echoed in my mind as I knelt before Olivia's door. The rogue wolf had confessed under extreme werewolf torture methods - techniques that even Alpha-trained wolves might not withstand.

Connor hadn't changed his story despite the agony. I had believed Victoria's version of events completely.

According to what Connor revealed, Victoria Frost hated Olivia because Olivia had given Emma's kidney donor to Lily. This would have allowed Lily to live while Emma died. That's why Victoria supposedly bought off Connor to frame Olivia.

But if what Olivia just told me was true - if the kidney Lily needed didn't match Emma at all - then everything Victoria claimed was a lie.

Victoria's story about selfishly choosing to let Emma live because she loved her too much was complete fabrication. She had never been in a position to save Emma with that kidney.

"Ethan Stone, from the beginning, Victoria Frost never wanted Lily to live," Olivia said, her emerald eyes growing redder as tears welled up.

Her wolf whimpered beneath her skin with renewed grief. The pain in her voice cut through me like silver claws.

"She not only deliberately stole Lily's kidney donor, causing Lily to have no compatible donor available during the emergency surgery, but also deliberately ignored my calls for help on the day Lily was critically ill."

Olivia's voice cracked as she continued. "If you had received my call, even if you didn't care for Lily at the time, you wouldn't have ignored her and watched her die."

"You might have taken back the kidney donor and given it to Lily first, giving her a chance at life. But Victoria cut off Lily's path to survival."

Upon hearing Olivia mention the phone call, I was stunned. My amber eyes widened in realization.

"Liv, I didn't see your call," I mumbled, the truth hitting me like a physical blow.

Victoria had deleted the call record from my Alpha Phone. I recalled receiving a call from Victoria on the way to Moonlight Fair that day.

She said Emma had been admitted to the Silvercrest Medical Den, diagnosed with kidney failure. Hearing Emma was in the medical den and Victoria sounding panicked, I thought Emma's condition was severe.

I chose to go to the medical den to see Emma, thinking I could always spend time with Lily later. I didn't realize that Lily, wanting to spend time alone with me, had lied to Olivia about where she was going.

Victoria deliberately called me, knowing Lily was in urgent need of a kidney donor, waiting for me to save her life. Then she stole the kidney donor and blocked Olivia's call, letting Lily die on the operating table.

If this was the truth of Lily's death, then my trust and protection of Victoria over the past two years was a great harm to Olivia and Lily. I had been protecting Lily's killer.

I knelt on the ground, feeling overwhelmed by guilt. My wolf howled in anguish inside me as I looked at Olivia, wanting to say I didn't know.
