“No,” he replied, patting my head gently.
The store manager approached cautiously. “Alpha King, do you still need to pack the things you picked out just now?”
“Yes,” Daddy nodded.
With the crisis averted, my energy returned. I peeked around Daddy to see what he had chosen.
When the staff brought out piles of beautifully wrapped packages, my eyes widened with excitement. I broke away from Daddy
and rushed over.
“Daddy, are these all bought for Emmy?” I exclaimed, bouncing on my toes. “Emmy likes them all so much, thank you, Daddy!
Emmy loves you the most!”
I was already imagining how jealous my packmates would be when they saw all my new toys. Daddy hadn’t even let me pick
anything out, and he’d already chosen so many wonderful gifts for me!
“Emmy, these are for Lily,” Daddy said quietly. “Go pick out what you like yourself.”
The smile froze on my face. For Lily? The dead pup?
I remembered now–he’d told me this when we entered the store. I could choose my own gifts, while he selected things for Lily.
I turned away quickly so Daddy wouldn’t see my expression. Jealousy burned in my chest. Why did he need to buy things for a
dead pup? Why did Lily Winters still matter so much?
I stomped over to the shelves to pick out my own toys, my back to Daddy so he wouldn’t see me squeezing a stuffed wolf until its eyes bulged. Even dead, Lily Winters was still competing with me.
(Olivia’s POV)
I knelt before Lily’s grave at Sacred Moonlight Cemetery, carefully arranging the new toys I’d purchased. Lucas knelt beside me, helping to wipe dust from her tombstone.
The pain never lessened. Two years without my daughter, and sometimes I still woke up reaching for her, expecting to feel her
small body curled against mine.
“Lily, Mommy brought you some new toys,” I whispered, touching her portrait on the tombstone. “The Ice Princess figurine you
always wanted.”
Lucas watched me with gentle eyes. After I finished speaking to Lily, he cleared his throat softly.
“Liv, do you have an answer for what I said to you at the airport that day?”
I knew why he’d chosen this moment to ask again–here, before Lily. It was his way of including her in this important decision,
of seeking her approval as well as mine.

I turned to face him, my heart conflicted but warming to his consideration. Just as I opened my mouth to respond, a figure
appeared between us.
Ethan stood there, arms laden with beautifully wrapped gifts. He rudely used the packages to block Lucas from my view, his
amber eyes flashing a warning at the other Alpha before turning to me with a gentleness that made my wolf bristle.
“Move,” I said coldly.
“Liv, these are what I specially bought for Lily,” Ethan said, placing his offerings before her grave.
I felt rage bubble up inside me. After years of neglecting her when she was alive, now he thought he could buy her affection in
death?
“Lily doesn’t need them,” I snapped, sweeping his gifts aside with one angry motion. “Take these to your Emma Frost. Don’t use
them to disgust my Lily.”
Ethan’s lips pressed into a thin line as he watched his carefully selected presents scatter across the ground.
“Alpha King Stone, Lily doesn’t need you to worry about her. I’ll buy her what she likes,” Lucas said firmly, standing beside me.

I’m reading this and think: BITCH JUST BREAK YOUR MATE BOND AND SAY I’M NOT YOUR MATE ANYMORE!...
I swear to you if Olivia goes back to Ethan and not ends up with Lukas, I’ll drop this book....
Yes… Victoria is finally about to get caught up...
I can’t wait until Victoria finally gets caught up....
The story would be better if it didn’t drag on. Olivia’s character eh , sounds like a broken record...
