Chapter 9: Theodore Beat ra
Chapter 9: Theodore Beat ra
(Olivia’s POV)
Everyone in the private room turned pale, except for Theodore.
Theodore truly lived up to his reputation as the strongest Alpha in the Northern Territory – his reaction was lightning–fast.
He swiftly grabbed ra’s wrist, violently tore her away from himself, and threw her hard onto the ground. She crashed heavily against the marble floor with a sickening thud.
“My mother’s decision is final,” his voice was ice–cold, showing no trace of the passion I’d just witnessed. “You corrupted my son and hurt my Luna’s feelings. I absolutely cannot keep you.”
ra seemed to have no reaction at all. She sprawled on the floor, her pink dress bunched around her thighs, ring at me with pure hatred. The situation was so ridiculous I almostughed. One moment she was his
lover, the next she was trash to be discarded.
Suddenly, as if a switch <b>had </b>been flipped, every man in the room began protecting me.
“ra corrupted our little Alpha heir!” Caleb shouted, wiping blood from <b>his </b>split lip.
“She manipted Leo against his own mother!” another friend chimed in.
“Alpha Theodore loves Luna Olivia so much, he would never let anyone harm her!”
They surrounded me with false concern, these same men who’d been calling me boring and gullible just moments ago. Caleb even grabbed ra by the arm, promising to “make her leave immediately.”
The stark contrast was nauseating. In an instant, ra had fallen from mistress to pariah, with everyone piling on. She was dragged in front of me like a criminal awaiting judgment.
I squatted down and lifted her <b>chin </b>with one finger, forcing her to meet my eyes.
(ra’s POV)
My clothes were disheveled, my dignity shattered. I stared up at Olivia’s perfect face, my heart burning with rage and jealousy.
Why could she stand in the spotlight while I lived in shadows?
How dare <b>she </b>still look down on me like she’s so high and mighty? She knows full well her mate is sweating in my bed every night.
This cowardly, disgusting woman knew about our affair and still pretended to be oblivious. I wanted to spit in
her face.
“When you were pressed against Theo’s <b>chest </b>just now,” Olivia’s voice was dangerously quiet, “were you really just begging for mercy?”
<b>All </b>eyes turned to me, with warning res that <b>seemed </b>to threaten me, forbidding me from provoking their beloved Luna, Especially Theodore, whose gaze held murderous intent.
Cf course I wasn’t begging for <b>mercy</b><b>, </b><b>you </b>j*** I wanted to scream. I’m having an affair with your mate!
Chapter
Theodore Beat
Didn’t you see where my hands were? Are you blind?
But I didn’t dare reveal our rtionship. Not with Theo’s warning gaze boring into me.
(Olivia’s POV)
Under the pressure of hostile stares, ra was forced to kneel before me. Through gritted teeth, she choked
out: I’m sorry.”
I could see the fury radiating from her, the confusion at how quickly her allies had abandoned her. These men whod secretly despised my “arrogant behavior” were now trembling before me like mice before a cat.
As Caleb tried to drag ra <b>away</b>, something caught my eye. The red thong from just now was wrapped
around her wrist like a bracelet.
“Wait.
ra, is that yours?” <fn4a90> Discover more novels at ?ovelFind</fn4a90>
She looked down at the thong around her wrist, and suddenly her expression transformed. A triumphant, provocative smile curved her lips as she met my <b>gaze</b>.
“It’s a gift from the man I love,” she said with deliberate emphasis. “He said it suited my figure perfectly. He praised how sexy looked in it.” Her eyes flicked meaningfully to Theodore. “Unlike some people…”
My stomach churned violently. Theodore’s arms suddenly wrapped around me, his hands burning hot against <b>my </b>waist. But ra’s scent still clung to him, making me want to vomit.
The sight of that red thong and the seductive look she gave Theodore was the <b>final </b>straw. Ished <b>out </b>with my foot, sending her sprawling again.
“Whoa, Luna!” Caleb quickly intercepted, afraid I might <b>attack </b>ra again. “ra’s my… my lover. <b>I </b><b>gave </b>her
that gift.
The room erupted in relieved murmurs as people began discussing this supposed rtionship. Theodore’s voice was smooth as silk as he exined, “I only allowed ra close to our family because of Caleb’s
feelings for her.”
But I noticed the remnants of vivid lipstick on Theodore’s lips, glimmering like silver needles under the light. <b>I </b>
closed my eyes, holding back tears.
“Caleb, I said quietly, “aren’t you engaged to my friend Evelyn? Are you telling me ra is your mistress?”
Panic shed across Caleb’s face. “Please don’t tell Evelyn! ra seduced me, I swear! I was drunk and-”
“Get her out of here,” Theodoremanded. Two security <b>guards </b>materialized and grabbed ra’s arms.
As they dragged her toward the door, ra began screaming and struggling. “Theodorel Save me! I’m your
person! You can’t let them-*
Her desperate thrashing caused something to slip from her neckline. A gold chain hit the floor with a <b>delicate </b>chime
I dove for it <b>before </b>anyone else could react. My fingers closed around <b>the </b>familiar weight, and my world <b>tilted </b>
<b>on </b>its axis.
My mating ring. The one Theodore <b>had </b>personally engraved with T&O inside. The one that had been “lost” <b>months </b>ago<b>. </b>
Thung from ra’s ne like a <b>trophy</b>.

Theodos, Beat
“Why,” I looked at Theodore, “can you tell me why my missing wedding ring is hanging around her neck?”
Theodore’s face went white. “Livvy, I can exin-”
“What does she mean to you?” The question came out stronger now, demanding an answer.
“She means nothing to me. I don’t even know- Theodore began to exin incoherently.
“Hurry up and drag this b***h away” The men nearby urged Caleb.
“Or can you tell me?” I looked down at ra being dragged like a dog.
She struggled to break free from Caleb’s grasp, “Of course because I am Theodore’s beloved-”
