LOGINOLIVIA'S POV
How could he say such?. He knew about everything all along and choose to stay Quite? now I understand why They were so eager to get us married. As I made my way back to the ceremony, I couldn't stop but replay Alpha Mateo's words again and again. There wasn't a drop of remorse for what he did to me nor was there any for my child. "oh moon goddess please guide me." He was right in front of me again, Same blank expression and a glint of anger in his eyes. I gave a slow nod to the priest so he would proceed and get everything done with. "Again, Do you Olivia take Alpha Mateo as your mate and husband?" He asked. "Yes." I said dryly and the pack jubilated. "thank Goodness, here exchange the rings." The priest said desperately forcing the rings off the tray and handed it to us. Alpha Mateo didn't waste any time to pull my hand forward and slide the ring in. His actions pisses me off. Irritated by his behaviour, I took the ring and pulled his hand closer sliding it in with a blank stare. Two can play in his game! "You may now kiss the bride, Alpha." Oh heavens! I would have stepped back but his hands snaked to the back of my neck as he pulled me closer and slammed his lips on mine. Something hampered in my chest as our lips met, it felt like a tight string was pulled in my heart making me wince and forcefully broke the kiss. "What's wrong?" He asked as my fingers clawed his arm,I groaned snapping my eyes shut and the first thing I saw was a glimpse of a white wolf. My wolf. "my..my wolf.." I shuttered unable to phantom the pull I felt, Suddenly I picked every little sound around me, My hearing was heightened and my sense of smell? One particular scent among all filled my Nostrils. I slowly pulled away from Alpha Mateo's hold as my gaze went into the crowd. I searched around until i crossed gaze with a man seated at the end of the row. "Mate, Ahh!" my knee snapped in as I screamed out feeling a great pull in my chest. My wolf clawed deeply causing my breath to Heave. "Mate." I whispered again Suddenly bombarded with a rush of emotions. Familiarity? Love? I didn't know. All I knew was that my feet were moving towards him but they stopped as Alpha Mateo dragged me back suddenly. "Where the fuck are you going?!" He yelled shaking me lightly. "She's my mate!" The man in the black suit growled and I turned, His scent only got stronger as he came close to me. "Back off!" Alpha Mateo's grip on me increased. "let go of me." I winced trying to break free from his hold, I needed to be with that man. The more our eyes met the more I felt drawn towards him. He felt it too. I saw it in his eyes. My head suddenly felt heavy on my neck as everything began to spin, I held it down but the pain shot me harder, I could still hear Alpha Mateo's voice over the others as he kept yelling and arguing and that was the end as my eyes went shut and darkness came. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ MATEO'S POV "Back off!" I growled pushing Alpha Alex away before he touched her. Olivia only kept screaming the word Mate in my ears as she tried going to him? was she insane or what? How the yell was he her mate? How? "Take her away mother." I said handing her to mother as she passed out, I felt so irritated seeing the fucking look Alpha Alex gave her as she went away. "You heard her Mateo, Her wolf is awakened and it knows its true mate, it's definitely not you!" Alpha Alex shot standing on my toes. "Get back bastard." I sneered unfazed by his fucking stare. If we weren't rivals I would have given him some respect but the fool was always eying everything I owned and now this? not Olivia! "You can't Keep her!" He uttered and tried forcing his way to her but I pushed him back and angrily kicked him in the gut. He went on one knee immediately coughing out blood. "You dare to attack me Mateo, Cancer Pack won't forget this!" He said sternly glaring at me as he cleaned his lip with the back of his palm. "Whatever you say." I said disregarding his lame threat. He straightened his shirt and stormed out with his guards behind him. "what was that? "did she just call him her mate? "Oh Goddess, what kind of Luna is she?" The pack members murmured exchanging glances with each other. what the fuck was going on? "Where is she?" I asked mother as i stormed into the house. "She's still unconscious, Don't do anything Out of impulse Mateo." She muttered grabbing my hand as i made to move. "Inform me when she's conscious." I said as i yanked my hand off and went straight into my office. I felt enraged! Fucking pissed and on edge just hearing Olivia call Alex Her mate, she wanted to go to him! she was going to leave me for him. I will never let that happen. "She's our mate." Lnoxx growled equally pissed as I was. She's my wife. She's carrying my child and I fucking took her virginity. whatever delusion she has about Alex has to be cleared, I don't share what belongs to me. Never. TBCAuthor's Note To everyone who read this book with me—thank you. Thank you for sticking with Anaya and Ryker through the chaos, the danger, the realms and entities and everything that tried to keep them apart. Thank you for cheering for Olivia and Mateo, for a love that didn't start easy but became one of the strongest in this whole story. Thank you for falling for Skye and Andrei the way I did, for waiting through every almost-confession with me. This story started as one thing and grew into so much more — a family, really, one I got attached to right alongside you. Writing Kingston and Sofia into the world, watching this whole found family gather around one table by the end, meant more to me than I expected it to. I'm endlessly grateful you chose to spend your time here, in this world, with these characters. Every comment, every read, every moment you stuck around for one more chapter — it mattered. Thank you for the journey. I hope it stays with you the way it's stayed with me.
Chapter 133 - The END Olivia's POVThe rain held off for the funeral, which felt like exactly the kind of small mercy Luna Diana would have arranged herself if she'd had any say in the matter. She'd never been one for dramatics, not even in death, though the entire pack turned out anyway, dressed in black beneath a sky that couldn't quite decide whether to stay grey or clear.I stood near the front with Mateo's hand locked tight in mine, watching them lower his mother into the ground beside the husband she'd lost decades ago, and let myself remember her the way she deserved to be remembered—not as the frail woman who'd spent her last months slower and quieter than any of us had ever known her to be, but as the force she'd been for most of my life.She was the one who found me, after all. Twenty-three years ago, a terrified, humiliated young woman with no idea what came next, and it was Diana who'd sat beside my bed that first night and told me, with a certainty I hadn't earned yet an
Chapter 132Olivia's POVThe house was quiet in that particular way it only got in the late evening, after Kingston had finally been wrestled down for the night and Sofia had gone home with her parents, leaving nothing behind but stray toys scattered across the living room floor and the faint smell of the dinner we'd all shared a few hours earlier.I found Mateo out on the back porch, exactly where he usually ended up these days, a glass of wine forgotten at his elbow, staring out at the darkening yard like it held something worth studying."You're thinking too hard," I said, settling into the chair beside him."Just remembering," he said, not looking away from the yard."Remembering what?"He finally turned to me, and even after all these years, something in his expression still had the power to make my chest go warm—that same steady, quiet affection he'd carried for me since long before either of us had known what to call it."Everything," he said simply. "All of it."I let my head
Chapter 131 Andrei's POV The jazz club Kelly had recommended turned out to be tucked below street level, down a narrow staircase that opened into a dim, smoky room lined with red velvet booths and a small stage where a quartet was already deep into something slow and syrupy by the time we found a table near the back. "This is exactly what I pictured when you said jazz club," Skye said, sliding into the booth beside me instead of across from me, close enough that her shoulder pressed against mine. "Kelly has surprisingly good taste for a man who once set a grill on fire." "Low bar, but I'll allow it." A waiter appeared with two glasses of red wine we hadn't technically ordered yet—apparently the house didn't believe in menus so much as vibes—and we settled back to let the music wash over us, the saxophone bending low and mournful before the whole quartet picked the tempo back up into something brighter. "I used to think places like this were pretentious," Skye admitted, swirling
Chapter 130Andrei's POVThe boat was smaller than I expected—intimate, really, more like a private charter than the crowded tourist cruises we'd passed on our walk along the river that afternoon. Just a handful of other couples scattered along the deck, soft music drifting from somewhere near the bow, the whole vessel gliding slow enough that conversation didn't have to compete with the engine."This is not what I pictured," Skye said, leaning against the railing, the wind catching loose strands of her hair. "I thought it'd be one of those big double-decker things with a tour guide shouting facts through a megaphone.""I did some research," I admitted, coming up beside her. "Wanted something quieter.""You really did plan this trip like a military operation.""I prefer 'thorough.'" I wrapped an arm around her waist as the boat eased further out into the current, the city beginning to catch the last of the light—gold bleeding into the stone facades, the water below turning the color o
Chapter 129Skye's POVSeven months. That's how long it took to get from a flower house confession to standing in front of everyone I loved in a dress my mother cried the entire first time she saw me in.The ceremony itself passed in a blur of golden light and half-formed memories—Andrei's face when I came down the aisle, like he'd forgotten how to breathe. My mother's hand trembling in mine before she passed me off. Sofia, seven months old now and thoroughly unbothered by the significance of the day, gnawing happily on the strap of her tiny flower girl basket instead of throwing petals like she was supposed to."She's supposed to throw them," Chelsea had whispered from the front row, and Kelly had just laughed and said, "She's doing her best," which set off half the guests.By the time Andrei slid the ring onto my finger, I'd stopped trying to hold back tears altogether. Anaya, standing just behind me, squeezed my shoulder the second the officiant pronounced us married, and I turned
