Birthday Wishes

Olivia's POV:"I want Rachel to be my mommy."Today is my son Oliver's 5th birthday, and I couldn't help but feel my heart shatter when he made his wish. Standing before his birthday cake, his small voice rang out clear and determined: "I want Rachel to be my mommy."The words hit me like a physical blow. Rachel - my mate Derek's secretary. The woman who's been spending more and more time with my son lately.As the Head Healer of Blood Moon Pack, my schedule is always packed. Our pack depends on my healing abilities, and the income I bring in keeps our family afloat. Derek's werewolf medicine company hasn't been doing well lately, and most of our expenses rely on my salary.I've had to make compromises. Sometimes, I ask Rachel to help with picking up and dropping off Oliver at school. I knew Oliver was fond of her, but this... this was something else entirely."Sweetheart," I started, my voice barely above a whisper, "you know that's not how it-"I was about to explain to him that he co

She's not my mom

Olivia’s POV:I couldn't tear my eyes away from Rachel's social media post. The image of my husband and son, both beaming at the camera beside her, made my stomach churn. So this is how the three of them got along when I didn't know? So close, so natural, so much like - a family of three.Ava, my wolf, paced restlessly inside me. Her growls echoed my own turmoil.Looking at the photo, memories flooded back. Six years ago, when Derek and I first identified each other as Fated Mates. He was different then - so attentive, so loving. Every single day, without fail, he'd bring me pink tulips. My favorite.I remember how the pack whispered about us. Me, the Head Healer, choosing an omega wolf as my mate. But I didn't care. Love doesn't see rank or status.When Derek wanted to start his pharmaceutical company, I supported him without hesitation. Even as the losses mounted, I stood by him. My salary as Head Healer was more than enough to support us both, and I believed in his dreams.But now,

Photos

Olivia’s POV:I was about to leave, tears burning in my eyes, when the teacher's voice called out behind me."Wait! Please, just a moment." She hurried over, her face creased with concern. "I think we should sort this out properly."My feet felt heavy as I turned back. The whispers hadn't stopped, but now they held a note of uncertainty."Oliver," the teacher called out firmly. "Come here right now."Oliver dragged his feet as he approached, shooting annoyed glances at Rachel, who still stood by the playground equipment."Oliver," the teacher crouched down to his level, her voice gentle but serious. "I need you to think very carefully about what you're saying. This is a very serious matter. Are you absolutely sure about what you told us?""Why does everyone keep asking me the same thing?" Oliver's voice rose with frustration. "I already said Rachel is my mom! She picks me up every day! She helps me with my homework! She makes me special snacks!" He jabbed a finger in my direction. "Tha

Love and Lies

Olivia’s POV:My hands wouldn't stop shaking as I stared at the photos scattered across the floor. Derek and Rachel, young and in love. The evidence was right there in front of me, but my mind refused to accept it.Our marriage had been good - hadn't it? Even today, Derek had defended me without hesitation. He'd put Rachel in her place, protected my position as Oliver's mother.I closed my eyes, focusing on my connection with Ava. My wolf wasn't showing signs of mate betrayal. If Derek was currently involved with Rachel, Ava would know. Would feel it.But why keep his ex-girlfriend so close? Why make her his secretary? Why hide their past from me?The loving gestures over the years - were they real or just an act? The morning coffees, the gentle touches, the way he'd support me after long healing sessions...I gathered up the photos, studying them more closely. Derek looked so young, so carefree. The way he smiled at Rachel in these pictures - had he ever looked at me that way?The fam

Break up the relationship

Olivia’s POV：My hands trembled as I replayed the video. This time, I noticed something in the background - a promotional poster hanging on the boutique wall."Buy a luxury bag, get a free silk scarf!"The same brand. The same blue scarf Derek had just given me.My "special gift" was nothing but a freebie from the bags my own money had bought for Rachel.I sank into a kitchen chair, my legs no longer able to support me. The beautiful dinner Derek had prepared suddenly looked like ash.I'm such a fool that my son prefers my husband's first love and doesn't want me to be his mom. My husband pretends to defend me in public and betrays me in private.I'd built this family with my own hands. Supported it with my own money. I never cared that Derek wasn't rich - I only wanted his love.But they'd been consuming me like vampires. Using me. Betraying me at every turn.I forced myself to watch more of the video. The boutique clerk's voice drifted through the speakers:"Your son is so sweet! You

Breaking Point

Olivia’s POV:I had no idea that the place Derek had sent me to was actually a healing center. My heart was pounding as I followed his psychic link to this place. As I burst through the door, the antiseptic smell of the emergency room hit me, and my instincts as a healer were already on high alert."Dr. Winters!" A young nurse recognized me. "They're in Room 204."I nearly knocked over a medicine cart in my rush to reach the room. The sight that greeted me stopped me cold in the doorway.Oliver lay unconscious on the hospital bed, his usually energetic face ghostly pale against the stark white sheets. His right leg was heavily bandaged, and multiple monitors created a symphony of beeps around him. An IV drip fed clear fluid into his arm."What happened?" I demanded, my eyes scanning the monitors automatically. Heart rate elevated but stable. Blood pressure slightly low. Oxygen levels good.Derek stepped forward from where he'd been standing by the window. "He fell during rock climbing.

Broken Bonds

(Olivia's POV)The harsh fluorescent lights of the hospital ceiling came into focus as I blinked away the darkness. My head throbbed with a dull pain as I tried to push myself up on my elbows. I felt disoriented, my thoughts fuzzy around the edges."She's awake!" Derek's voice cut through the fog in my mind.I turned my head to see Derek sitting between two hospital beds - one I was lying in, and the other holding Oliver. His small frame looked even tinier against the white sheets, his leg elevated and heavily bandaged.Derek jumped up and rushed to my side, his face a mask of concern. "Thank the Moon Goddess you're alright. You scared us, honey."His hand reached for mine, but I pulled away. The divorce papers lay on the small table between us, a stark reminder of reality.Oliver, on the other hand, didn't even look at me. His lips were pursed tightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the ceiling above him. The complete indifference in his expression was like a knife to my heart."I told you

Broken Promises

(Olivia's POV)The words hung in the air between us, heavy with finality. As soon as I finished speaking, I felt it - the mate bond that had connected Derek and me for years began to weaken. It was like a physical rope inside my chest slowly unraveling, thread by thread.Ava howled within me, the pain unbearable as she felt her connection to Derek's wolf slipping away. My heart nearly buckled from the agony. Breaking a mate bond wasn't just emotional - it was physically excruciating, like having a vital organ slowly torn from your body.But despite the pain, a strange sense of peace washed over me. This was the right decision. Finally, after years of being used and taken for granted, I was choosing myself.Derek's face transformed before my eyes. The mask of concern he'd been wearing cracked, revealing raw panic beneath.He swooped down in front of my hospital bed, "No!" he shouted, his voice echoing off the hospital walls. "I don't agree to dissolve the partnership!"Instantly, the un

Get out of my house

(Olivia's POV)I stood frozen in the doorway of what used to be my bedroom, staring at Rachel's possessions that had replaced mine. The perfume bottles on the vanity, the unfamiliar clothes hanging in the closet – all evidence that she had been planning this takeover for some time.Derek appeared behind me, his breath catching when he saw my expression."Olivia, I can explain..." he started, his voice wavering between guilt and defensiveness.I turned slowly to face him. "Please do."He ran his hand through his hair, a gesture I once found endearing but now recognized as his tell when he was about to lie."It's not what it looks like," Derek said, glancing nervously toward the stairs where Oliver was struggling to make his way up with his injured leg."Really? Because it looks like you've moved your mistress into my house while I was at the hospital with our son," I replied, my voice eerily calm.Rachel appeared at the top of the stairs, helping Oliver. Her face wore an expression of p

Taking Back What's Mine

(Olivia's POV)Rachel couldn't believe it. Her perfectly composed face crumbled into disbelief as she stared at the property deed in the enforcement officer's hands."This can't be right," she sputtered, turning to Derek with wide eyes. "You said this villa was yours!"Derek's face had gone deathly pale. The lie he'd been living was finally exposed to the woman he'd been trying to impress."Derek?" Rachel grabbed his arm, her perfectly manicured nails digging into his sleeve. "Tell them there's been a mistake!"Marcus, the lead enforcement officer, cleared his throat uncomfortably. "Ma'am, the deed clearly states that this property belongs solely to Dr. Winters. There's no mistake."Oliver began to cry, his small body trembling as he balanced on his good leg. "You can't make us leave our home! Dad, tell her she can't do this!"My heart twisted at his tears, but I steeled myself against them. How many times had this child rejected me? Called another woman "mom" and treated me like a str
