Chapter 168: I won’t let you mate with him!
<b>(</b><b>God’s </b>POV)
Isadora clutched her pup Iris tightly, knowing she had done something utterly outrageous. <b>Something </b><b>that </b>could hurt Luna Olivia. If the paternity test proved Aurora was her brother’s pup, Theodore would <b>undoubtedly </b>stop at nothing to get her back.
To bring Olivia home, he would resort to any means necessary. Her heart in a panic, she walked to <b>the </b>front desk of the atelier.
“Do you have the contact information for the mating ceremony photographypany from earlier?<b>” </b><b>she </b>asked, her voice trembling slightly.
The receptionist looked up with a polite smile. “Of course, ma’am. Let me get that for you right away.”
Isadora’s hands shook as she took the business card. She knew what she was about to do would change everything.
The group arrived at The Moonstone Summit Hotel, the same venue where they had the feast tasting the day before. Thergest banquet hall was already being decorated for the mating ceremony.
Elegant white roses and silver ribbons adorned every surface. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the
preparations.
The
first.
ceremony officiant was a popr celebrity, Audrey. Seeing them, she approached and took Olivia’s hand
“The Luna of the Alpha King is truly so beautiful,” she said with a warm smile.
Olivia, though somewhat surprised, responded politely. “Miss Audrey is also very beautiful.”
In her heart, she coldly noted that the host didn’t even know her name. She wasn’t particrly bothered and took Aurora and ra to find the manager about preparing pup food.
Audrey; exuding professional charm, then turned to Matthew and extended her hand. “Alpha King, let me introduce myself. I am your mating ceremony officiant, Audrey.”
Matthew merely nced at her, his expression cold. Before Audrey’s hand could be left hanging, Beta Tristan quickly grasped it.
“Miss Audrey, I’ll arrange for two people to assist you with the rehearsal. The King and Luna Olivia will just watch from below,” he said, releasing her hand.
Audrey’s smile didn’t falter despite Matthew’s indifference. “But there’s a mate marking ceremony. It wouldn’t be right to have a substitute for that, would it?<b>” </b>
She pressed, turning her appeal to Elder Victoria. “Elder Victoria, what do you think?”
Elder Victoria, however, nced at her son’s back and stated tly. “No need for a public deration<b>.</b>”
She knew her tight–lipped son was incapable of uttering romantic words in front of a crowd.

Chapter <b>168 </b><b>1 </b>won’t <b>let </b><b>yo </b>
<b>Inside </b><b>the </b><b>private </b><b>dining </b><b>room</b><b>, </b><b>the </b><b>hotel </b><b>manager </b><b>brought </b><b>in </b>a <b>small </b><b>ride</b><b>–</b><b>on </b><b>toy</b>, <b>ra </b><b>gleefully </b>pushed <b>Aurora </b><b>around </b><b>the </b><b>room </b>in it.
I <b>sat </b>with Killian, his <b>arm </b>resting casually along the back of my chair as we spoke in low <b>voices</b>,
“How is Selena learning with Gina<b>?</b><b>” </b>I asked.
Killian let out a heartyugh. “She might be better suited as your assistant. That girl has <b>no </b><b>talent </b><b>for </b>strategy; she’s giving Gina, her mentor, a headache.”
He recalled with amusement how Selena had bluntly told the enforcers they hadn’t been kidn*pped <b>by </b>Theodore. “She’s also a bit stubborn.”
My expression fell slightly. “Then I’d better have here back with me.”
My voice was tinged with sadness as I remembered Matthew wouldn’t be returning to the European <b>territory </b>base.
“Something on your mind?” Killian asked gently.
Just then, the ride–on toy, carrying the two pups, lost control and veered straight towards us. Killian reacted
instinctively, wrapping his arms around me and lifting me onto my chair to shield me from the impact.
The toy crashed into the chair, and I wobbled, my hands flying to Killian’s shoulders to steady myself. I <b>looked </b>
at the two pups, who wereughing with delight at the collision, and a gentle smile touched my lips.
As Killian helped me down, I looked up, my words of thanks dying on my lips. Matthew was standing <b>in </b>the
doorway, his gaze impossibly calm.
Killian immediately released his hold on me. I took a step forward but then hesitated,
“Clear out a room,” Matthew ordered Beta Tristan beside him.
He gave me onest look before turning and walking out of the room. A inclothes pack enforcer approached me.
“Luna, the Alpha King has something to say to you.”
My expression turned gloomy; I recognized the formal tone of a superior addressing a subordinate. I followed
the enforcer into the adjacent private room, the door closing behind me.
Matthew was seated on the sofa. “Come here,” he said, his voice soft.
I walked over, and he immediately pulled my hand, drawing me down to sit on hisp.
“Do you have an order for me?” I asked, my voiceced with a hint of formality.
Hisrge hand slid from my abdomen to my back, circling my waist and pulling me firmly against him.
“Something on your mind?” he asked, echoing Killian’s question.
I hesitated, then rested my head on his shoulder. “I don’t want to stay here,” I confessed, my voice filled with
sadness.
“I want to take Aurora back to the European base. We’lle back to see you, and you can <b>visit </b><b>us</b>.” Matthew’s voice remained gentle as he lifted my chin. “You’ve made a decision without <b>discussing </b><b>it </b><b>with </b>
me<b>?</b><b>” </b>

He gazed at my downcast eyes, realizing I must have overheard his conversation with Elder Victoria, <b>He </b>
admired my stubbornness.
Leaning closer, he kissed me, I stared back, my eyes wide with shock as he deepened the kiss, one hand cradling my chin, the other pressing against the back of my head.
My eyes reddened with a mix of surprise and vulnerability. He finally pulled away, holding me tightly.
“Don’t be so quick to decide,” he murmured, his voice slightly breathless. “I will handle it.”
When Matthew led me back to the dining table, I waspletely flushed and disoriented. Just then, Beta Tristan, having received a call from Isadora, leaned in and whispered something to Matthew.
Unfazed, Matthew ced some venison on my te. “Shall we go <i>to </i>the Pack Registry after the meal?” he asked casually.
I simply nodded, avoiding his intense gaze, still reeling from his advances. After eating, I took my moonlight herb medicine, and then Matthew, Aurora, and I went to the nearest Pack Registry Office.
It was the lunch break, yet the entire staff of the registration hall was standing by, ready to serve. Beta Tristan presented a series of documents for our official mating registration. <fnaadd> Readplete version only at find?novel</fnaadd>
As we tried to get Aurora’s tiny handprint, the little pup grew fussy and uncooperative. At that moment, a tall, imposing figure stormed into the hall with his pack warriors, brandishing a paternity test report<b>, </b>his face a
mask of fury.
“Olivia,” Theodore roared, “I won’t let <i>you </i>mate with him!”
