my throat. Before | could react, she slammedbackward, clearly aiming for Lily's
Moonstone Tombstone.
(Ethan's POV)
| moved instinctively, catching Olivia around the waist before she could slam Victoria into
Lily's tombstone. Her body was rigid with fury, her strength surprising as she fought against
my restraint.
"Olivia, stop!" | commanded, using my Alpha voice. "This is sacred ground. Control yourself!"

Olivia went still in my arms, her body suddenly heavy with despair. When she looked up at me,
the raw pain in her eyes made my chest ache.
"You still don't believe me," she whispered. "After everything, you still choose her."
She pushed against my chest, her strength returning with her anger. "Get away from my
daughter's grave!" she snarled, her voice breaking with emotion. "Both of you! Leave this
sacred place!"
Instead of releasing her, | pulled her tighter against my chest, refusing to let go despite her
struggles. Her scent-once so comforting to me-filled my senses, mingled now with the salt
of her tears.
"Victoria," | said without turning, "please leave us."
Victoria's protest was immediate. "Ethan, | can't leave you alone with her when she's like this!
She's already injured you twice!"
| turned my head slightly, my gaze finding hers. Something in my expression must have
conveyed my seriousness, because her objection died on her lips.
"Go," | repeated, my tone leaving no room for argument.

Victoria hesitated, clearly reluctant to leave before further provoking Olivia. But when my gaze
turned cold, she nodded reluctantly.
"Callif you need anything," she said, touching my arm one last tbefore turning to
leave.
She had taken only a few steps when she stopped abruptly, her body tensing. Following her
gaze, | saw a small procession making its way through the cemetery-my grandmother, Matriarch Evelyn Stone,
supported by her security team. (Matriarch Evelyn's POV)
| made my way slowly through Sacred Moonlight Cemetery, leaning heavily on my cane. Though my body had
grown frail with age, my mind remained sharp, my will undiminished.

The sight beforeconfirmed everything Olivia had told me-my grandson holding her back. while Victoria Frost
stood smugly near Lily's grave. The desecrated offerings scattered across
the ground told their own story.
"Grandmother," Ethan said, surprise evident in his voice. "What are you doing here?"
