I ignored him, my gaze fixed on Olivia. The poor girl's shoulders sagged with relief at the sight
of me, fresh tears streaming down her face.
“Grandmother,” she whispered, the title an acknowledgment of the bond we shared despite the
absence of blood relation.
| nodded to her, then turned my attention to Victoria Frost. The woman had the audacity to
smile at me, as if we were meeting at a social gathering rather than at my great- granddaughter's desecrated
grave.
"Matriarch Stone," she said, dipping into a respectful curtsy. "What a surprise to see you out so
early."
Cold fury filled me. This woman had helped kill my great-granddaughter, had spat on her
grave, and now dared to addresswith false respect.
"Seize that woman," | commanded, my voice carrying the weight of decades of authority.
My security team moved immediately, surrounding Victoria before she could react. Her blue eyes widened with
genuine fear for the first time.
"Ethan!" she cried, reaching toward him. "Tell them to stop! What is happening?"
My grandson stepped forward, still holding Olivia against his side. "Grandmother, what are you
doing?"

"Justice," | replied simply. "Something you have failed to provide."
The security team grabbed Victoria's arms, forcing her to her knees before Lily's Moonstone Tombstone. She
struggled against their grip, her perfect composure finally cracking.
"Ethan, please!" she begged. "I've done nothing wrong!"
(Ethan's POV)
| watched in shock as my grandmother's security team forced Victoria to her knees. This was
happening too quickly, spiraling beyond my control.
"Release her immediately," | demanded, my Alpha voice resonating with authority.
To my surprise, the security team ignored me, their loyalty to my grandmother apparently

"Grandmother," | said, stepping toward her, "this is inappropriate. Whatever accusations Olivia
has made-"
"Are true," my grandmother interrupted, her voice sharp despite her frail appearance. "I have
seen the evidence myself."
Victoria continued to struggle against her captors. "What evidence? There is no evidence
because I've done nothing wrong!"
| moved to intervene, but hesitated. We stood before Lily's grave, a sacred place that deserved respect. Using
force here, even to protect Victoria, felt wrong somehow.
While | hesitated, the security team bound Victoria's hands behind her back with what appeared to be
ceremonial restraints. One of them stuffed a cloth into her mouth, silencing
her protests.
Olivia stepped forward, her face transformed by hatred. In her hand, she held the Ancestral Pack Whip-a
traditional implement of pack justice that | hadn't seen used in years.
"This is for Lily," she said, her voice eerily calm.
Before | could stop her, she brought the whip down across Victoria's back. Victoria's scream
was muffled by the gag, but her body jerked with pain.
Again and again, Olivia lashed out, each strike drawing blood through Victoria's torn designer clothes. The
security team held Victoria firmly, preventing her from escaping the punishment.
| fought my way through the security team, their training no match for my Alpha strength. By the t| reached
Victoria, her back was a bloody mess, her designer clothes torn to shreds.
As Olivia raised the whip for another strike, | grabbed it mid-air, wrenching it from her grasp.
"Olivia Winters, are you really going to kill someone before you're satisfied?!" | roared, tossing
the whip away.
Olivia stared at me, her chest heaving with exertion and emotion. "She deserves worse for

what she did to Lily."
My grandmother stepped forward, her frail form radiating disapproval. Before | could react,
she slappedhard across the face, the sound cracking through the cemetery's morning
stillness.
"You disgrace your family, Ethan," she said coldly.

The sting of her palm was nothing compared to the weight of her disappointment.
| stood frozen, shocked by her action.
"Grandmother-"
"Silence," she commanded, and despite myself, | obeyed. "You defend this woman while your
true mate suffers? While your daughter's memory is desecrated?"
She shook her head, her eyes reflecting decades of wisdom and the pain of watching her
family tear itself apart.
"Olivia would never make such accusations without cause," she continued, her voice softening
slightly. “That girl loved you and Lily with her whole heart. She would never lie about
something this sacred."
