My wolf, usually so quiet since Lily's death, stirred with interest. This wasn't just gossip or speculation-this was
scientific fact. Victoria had been lying all these years, using an innocent
child to manipulate Ethan.
| paused at the medical den entrance, considering my next move. Confronting Ethan directly would be foolish.
His wolf was too protective of Victoria and Emma; he'd likely blme for
trying to cause trouble rather than question his own judgment.
"I need proof," | whispered to myself. "Concrete evidence he can't ignore."
As | contemplated this, a sleek black vehicle pulled up to the curb. The driver's door opened, and Lucas
Blackwood stepped out, his powerful Alpha presence unmistakable even from a
distance.
"Luna Winters," he greeted me, his voice deep and controlled. "I thought you might need a
ride."
| approached cautiously. "Alpha Blackwood. What brings you here?"
His penetrating gaze studied me. "I heard about your... situation. | thought | might offer
assistance."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a smartphone. "To replace the one you lost. My
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnumber is already programmed in."
| accepted the phone with surprise. "Thank you, but why help me?"
Lucas's expression remained unreadable. "Let's just say | have my reasons for wanting to see justice served."
| slipped the phone into my pocket, my mind working quickly. "I need to confirm something
about Emma Frost's parentage. | need blood samples-hers and Ethan's."
Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. | can help with Emma's sample. The medical den keeps records of all pack
members. But Ethan's will be more challenging."
"I'll figure something out," | said, my resolve strengthening. "This could change everything."
Lucas nodded. "Be careful, Luna Winters. Victoria Frost has powerful allies."

As he escortedto his car, | felt a strange sense of purpose filling the emptiness that had consumedsince
Lily's death. For the first tin years, my wolf was fully alert, ready to
fight.
The truth was within reach. | just needed to grasp it.
(Matriarch Evelyn's POV)
The Stone Ancestral Hall hummed with tension as my grandson, Alpha King Ethan Stone, stood before the
assembled family members. His posture was rigid, his amber eyes gleaming
with determination.
"I've called you here to announce my decision," Ethan declared, his voice carrying the
unmistakable authority of an Alpha. "I intend to complete the mate bond with Victoria Frost."
| observed the reactions around me. My son Richard's face darkened with disapproval.
Eleanor, always quick to align herself with power, nodded in agreement. And Olivia Winters,
who had arrived unexpectedly, stood perfectly still, her face a mask of composure despite the
pain | knew she must be feeling.
"Son," Richard began, his voice gruff with age and authority, "have you considered the
implications? Olivia Winters is your true Luna, recognized by the pack."
Ethan's jaw tightened. "My decision is final, Father. Victoria has been by my side for years.
Emma needs legitimacy within the pack."
"And what of your obligations to your true mate?" Richard pressed, glancing at Olivia.
"My personal choices are not up for debate," Ethan replied coldly. "As Alpha King,
| have the final say in this matter."
Richard fell silent, deferring to his son's authority despite his obvious disagreement.
| decided it was tto speak. Rising slowly from my seat, | commanded the attention of
everyone present.

"As the Matriarch of the Stone family, | also have an announcement to make," | said, my voice
stronger than my aged appearance might suggest. "Olivia Winters is hereby officially
recognized as my adopted granddaughter and will be granted special status within our pack
hierarchy."
Gasps echoed through the hall. Victoria's face paled, while Ethan's expression darkened
further.
"Grandmother," he began, his voice tight with barely contained anger.

| raised my hand, silencing him. "This is not open for discussion, Ethan. My decision is as final
as yours."
Olivia stepped forward, her emerald eyes wide with surprise. "Matriarch Stone, I-"
"You've always been family to me, child," | told her gently. "Now it's official."
Ethan's wolf bristled visibly beneath his skin, his amber eyes flashing at this challenge to his
authority. But even an Alpha King couldn't overrule the Matriarch in matters of family lineage.
Victoria's smile was strained as she approached me. "What a wonderful gesture, Matriarch
Stone. | look forward to us all being one happy family."
The falseness in her voice was apparent only to those who knew to listen for it. | merely
nodded in response, having lived too long to be deceived by such transparent attempts at
manipulation.
