    Chapter 24: <b>My </b>Luna Cannot Be Pregnant


    Chapter 24: My Luna Cannot Be Pregnant


    (Isadora’s POV)


    I pressed the phone closer to my ear. My heart hammered against my ribs.


    “Tell me


    <b>“</b>ra Thorne, the campus beauty of Crestwood University and a gymnastics schrship student, was actually admitted to the university as a result of Alpha Theodore’s maniption.”


    A pause. Static filled the silence.


    “But here’s the interesting part. Her father’s name in the family column is Silvanus Winter.”


    The blood drained from my face. The hospital corridor spun around me.


    Silvanus Winter. That was Olivia’s biological father. The one she’d severed <b>all </b>ties with years ago.


    “Are you certain?” My voice came out as a whisper.


    “Absolutely. I double–checked the records. ra Thorne is Olivia ckwood’s


    Sister.”


    The phone slipped from my numb fingers. It ttered against the marble floor.


    ra wasn’t just my brother’s mistress. She was Olivia’s half–sister.


    The revtion crushed what was left of my heart. Every breath felt like ss in my lungs.

    tire life. The man whose example rd used to


    I had just fought through hell to sever my bond with ric. Believing I was finally free from the pain of


    infidelity.


    But it was all a lie. My own brother had betrayed his mate.


    And Olivia had stood by silently. Encouraging me to reject my bond while she endured her own humiliation,


    Was she helping me find freedom? Or was she just a hypocrite, mocking my strength<b>? </b>


    “Isa, what’s wrong?” Evelyn’s concerned voice cut through my spiraling thoughts.


    <b>Her </b>hand touched my shoulder. Warm and steady.


    I showed her the phone screen <b>with </b><b>ra’s </b>profile. Her eyes widened in shock


    Oh goddess, she breathed.


    How <b>could </b><b>he </b><b>do </b>this?” I whispered, “How could Theodore betray her like this?”


    Myrte grip on my shoulder tightened, <b>“</b><b>Don’t </b>interfere in your brother’s affaire

    <b>scandal </b>could fatally damage the pack’s reputation. You know how far <b>we’ve </be?

    “But he’s been lying to everyone!” I snapped.


    “Keep your voice down,” Evelyn hissed, ncing around the empty corridor.


    “The pack has grown over the decade to be thergest in the Northern Territory. Theodore already sent


    that she–<b>wolf </b>abroad. It’s over.”


    I stared at her in disbelief. “You want me to pretend nothing happened?”


    “A decade of friendship is strong enough to withstand this test.” Her voice was gentle but insistent. “Olivia’s silence is practical. She’s protecting what matters.”


    “What matters? Her dignity? Her heart?”


    Evelyn shook her head. “The pack. The stability. The future.”


    *Focus on getting along with Olivia,” she continued. “This changes nothing between you two.”


    “How can I face her knowing what I know?” My voice cracked.


    Evelyn’s eyes lit up suddenly. Like she’d found the perfect solution.


    *Olivia’s mother’s grave needs to be relocated. You could organize a memorial for Olivia’s mother’s death anniversary. It would be a way to win back her favor <b>and </b>solidify your position.”


    The suggestion made my stomach churn. Bile rose in my throat.


    1, a Redgrave daughter, now had to suck up to an outsider. To livefortably in my own home.


    I remembered the pain on Olivia’s face when she first arrived in Stonehaven City. Lost and grieving.


    Any sympathy I once felt had curdled into stone.


    “Fine,” I said coldly. “Til organize the memorial.


    “Make it perfect,” Evelyn encouraged. “So touching that Olivia will cry with gratitude.”


    My happy life has been destroyed, so others shouldn’t have one either.


    I pushed open the infirmary door. The hinges creaked softly.


    I saw them. Theodore holding Olivia. Their faces close in what looked like an intimate moment.


    Where I once would have felt joy for them, now I only felt profound, burning disgust.


    My brother was a liar. And Olivia was either a fool or a master maniptor.


    (Olivia’s POV)


    Consciousness was a hazy, drifting fog. Reality blended with memory in a nauseating swirl.


    I was back in the sloky warehouse, The air thick with the smell <b>of </b>gasoline and fear.


    The Kidnappers snarling faces shed before me. Their demand for eight million. All the cash my mother had brought from our old pack.


    Then Theodore appeared. Impossibly <b>brave</b>, Exchanging himself for me.


    He fought like a cornered wolf: Chouting for me <b>to </b>escape as mes licked up the walls.


    A massive burning beam began to fall. Directly towards him<b>. </b>


    My scream ripped from my throat. Pulling me from the depths of memory.


    “No, don’t… Theo!”


    I woke with tears streaming down my face. Looking up into Theodore’s pale, worried eyes.


    He was holding my hand. His grip tight and desperate.


    “I won’t let anyone hurt you again,” he promised.


    The words once were the bedrock of my world. Now they were just a painful reminder of the boy he <b>used </b>to


    be


    The Alpha who once seemed to love me more than life itself <b>had </b>vanished.


    He pulled me into an embrace. Whispering that he would always be by my side.


    But his arms felt like <b>a </b>constraining. Suffocating me.


    I pushed against his chest. Desperate for air.


    The more I struggled, the tighter the web became. Choking me,


    “Olivia, you’re safe now,” he murmured against my hair<b>. </b>


    “Let me go,” I whispered painfully.


    Through the doorway, I


    “I said let me go,


    I saw Isadora’s familiar silhouette. She stood frozen in the entrance.


    Theodore.”


    His arms loosened reluctantly. I could breathe again.


    After Theodore released me, Isadora approached. Her face was a mask of gentle concern.


    But something in her eyes had changed. A coldness I’d never seen before.


    I took her hand warmly. A wave of protectiveness washed over me..


    I knew how difficult her life in the Redgrave family would be. After severing her mate bond with ric.


    “Isa, are you alright?” I asked softly


    She squeezed my hand. But her smile didn’t reach her eyes.


    “I should be asking you that question.”


    I made a silent decision. Before I left this pack, I would transfer my thirty percent stake to her. <fn4aa8> This text is hosted at Find[?]ovel</fn4aa8>


    It would be enough to secure her future. And that of her pup, Iris.


    The door opened again. Healer Elias entered the room.


    Hus face was bearing He held up a test result like a trophy.


    Alpha, your Luna is pregnant


    His words made my heart <b>stop</b>, and the truth I wanted <b>to </b>hide was exposed just like that. <b>But </b><b>Theodore’s </b>reaction was very calin. He snatched the report from the healer’s hand.


    His voice was <b>devoid </b><b>of </b>all emotion<b>. </b>“Run the test again. There must be some mistake.”
