Chapter 173: How Much to Assassinate?
(Matthew’s POV)
Olivia was stunned, her eyes wide with guilt. She turned her head slightly and kissed me on the lips.
My lips lingered on hers as I murmured, “Want to repay me with your body?”
Her cheeks flushed crimson as she pushed against my chest. I remained unmoving, lifting her onto the hospital bed.
I pecked her lips again. “No?”
I looked at her intently, as if I wouldn’t stop until she answered. Curled up in my embrace, her mind seemed to go nk from my kisses.
She let out a soft, almost inaudible “Mmm–hmm” in response.
I wrapped my arm around her slender waist, admiring her shyness. Then I covered her with the <b>nket</b>.
Her elegant dress exposed the graceful lines of her body with every slight movement. My gaze darkened. It wasn’t the right time.
Nestled in my arms, Olivia ced a hand on my corbone. Her eyes fixated on the scratches I had made on myself.
“That she–wolf seems to like you a lot,” she asked quietly. “Did she do anything to you?<b>” </b>
I lifted her chin and replied, “If my Luna hadn’t destroyed the surveince, you would have seen me push her away. Do you trust me?”
Olivia looked deeply into my eyes and nodded. “I trust you.”
She exined her earlier agitation. “You don’t need to exin. Even if something had really happened, I wouldn’t be upset.”
“I was angry before because I thought the she–wolf had hurt you, and you even said she was gentle to you.”
My voice held a hint of restrained annoyance. “So if something really happened, you wouldn’t mind?”
Sensing my mood shift<b>, </b>she quickly rified. “If it really happened, it wouldn’t be your fault. It would be hers.”
“Matthew, it’s not your fault.” She hugged me, her voice filled with relief. “I’m so d nothing happened.”
This was the second time she had initiated a hug. My anger instantly vanished.
I gently patted her back. “Get some sleep for your big day as my marked mate tomorrow.”
When Olivia went to take a bath, Tristan came in to report. “Fenwick’s territory has been <b>sessfully </b>taken over.”
“However, Den, protected by his mentor, had already left. He was <b>not </b>involved with Theodore.”
“Although Olivia formallyined, Theodore himself has been released on bail.”
I nodded grimly. “Keep them away from the mating ritual.”

“Understood, Alpha King.”
<b>After </b>the water sounds in the bathroom stopped, I let him leave. Soon, Olivia walked <b>out </b><b>in </b>her <b>pajamas</b><b>. </b>
She hesitated, looking at the single hospital bed. I understood the unspoken question <b>in </b><b>her </b>eyes<b>. </b>
She walked directly towards me. I pulled her onto the bed in one swift motion.
She blushed, burying her face in my chest. I restrained myself, kissing her cheek.
“You are so beautiful,” I whispered softly, simply holding her contentedly as we nestled together.
(God’s POV)
Cynthia returned to Den Shaw’s pack house to find him drinking heavily. She began packing her belongings.
He grabbed her wrist, throwing her luggage to the floor. “Don’t go.”
“You’re useless to your brother now. If you don’t stay with me, are you going back to the Mooncrest <b>pack to </b><b>be </b>sold by him again?”
His words struck a nerve. Her eyes
reddened.
He softened, pulling her into his arms. “Stay. I can protect you. He doesn’t want you, I do.”
But Cynthia shoved him away with a coldugh. “You think you canpare to him?”
“Have you forgotten how you got me? We’ve already settled our ounts!”
At hermand, her pack guards entered and beat Den to the ground. She looked down at him, stepping
on his torso.
“A pile of mud,” she spat.
The she–wolf had finally shown her ws. She then left, not only abandoning Den but also arranging for
the release of her brother, Can Mooncrest.
Theodore sat numbly in his study, watching a slideshow of Olivia’s photos. Captain Ryker announced Can
Mooncrest’s arrival.
As Can entered with Cynthia, Theodore lunged forward. He punched Can to the ground and stomped on
his hand.
“Let my brother go!” Cynthia cried out.
“If you don’t, you’ll never know Alpha King Matthew Kane and Olivia ckwood’s secret!”
Theodore pressed down harder. “Speak.”
Can gasped. “Matthew Kane broke off his engagement with my sister thirteen years <b>ago </b>because <b>of </b><b>your </b>
mate, Olivia ckwood.”
“He has coveted your mate for thirteen years, Alpha Theodore.”
Theodore’s eyes zed with fury. “What?<b>” </b>
“I can help you get your mate back at the marking ceremony,” Can wheezed. “The hotel is <b>my </b><b>private </b>property. Making a switch would be easy.”
“Our interests are aligned. You want your mate<b>, </b><b>and </b>I want my sister to be <b>marked </b><b>by </b><b>Matthew </b><b>Kane</b>.

<b>Theodore </b><b>slowly </b><b>lifted </b><b>his </b><b>foot </b><b>from </b>Can’s hand. His mind <b>raced </b><b>with </b>possibilities.
“What <b>do </b>you <b>need </b><b>from </b><b>me?</b><b>” </b>
<b>“</b><b>Just </b><b>your </b>cooperation at the right moment,” Can replied, struggling to his feet<b>. </b><b>“</b><b>Leave </b><b>the </b>rest <b>to </b><b>me </b>
In the car after leaving Theodore’s manor, Cynthia worriedly asked her brother. “Will a runaway <b>Luna </b><b>be </b>enough to make the Kane family give up on Olivia?”
<b>Can’s </b>eyes glinted with a chilling light. “Only a dead wolf is no longer missed, my dear sister.”
“Don’t worry, I will pin her death on Theodore Redgrave<b>.” </b>
At that very moment, Theodore’s sentinel brought him a phone on speaker. It was Den Shaw.
“Alpha Theodore, do you want a permanent solution to get your mate back<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Theodore gripped the phone tighter. “What do you mean?”
“Assassinate Matthew Kane. You just need to provide the funds; I’ll handle the assassins. It will be
untraceable.”
Theodore caressed Can’s business card. His voice was cold and calcting.
“How much?”
