Chapter 143: He Tenderly Kissed Her Cheek

(Theodore’s POV)

“Did she allow you to touch her?”

I struggled to get up, my strength failing me as I stared up at Matthew. This so–called “Alpha King” had stolen everything

from me.

I was convinced Olivia had been bewitched to leave me. If not for Matthew, Olivia would never have escaped my grasp

back then.

“Alpha Theodore!” Seraphina Kane cried, rushing to help me up. Her eyes glared at her brother with accusation.

“Brother, you were too harsh. Brother Theodore just wanted to talk to Luna.”

As Seraphina helped me, I coughed up more blood. The metallic taste filled my mouth, but my gaze remained fixed on

Olivia.

She wasn’t looking at me. Her hands were clasped over her abdomen, her body trembling uncontrollably.

I knew that reaction all too well. She was having another episode.

Matthew’s gaze shifted to the guards with deadly precision. “Why were irrelevant people let in? See them out.”

His Beta Tristan immediately berated the guards.

“Olivia, let Healer Corvus examine you,” I pleaded, still worried about her despite everything. “After the examination, I’ll

leave.”

“No need to trouble Alpha Theodore,” Matthew retorted coldly. He wrapped an arm around Olivia. “I will take care of my

own mate.”

Olivia finally spoke to me. Her voice was steady but distant.

“As long as you’re not here, I won’t have any problems. The court’s restraining order is very clear.”

“You cannot approach me. When you do, I have the right to defend myself, and so does my mate.”

Her words defending Matthew felt like the final straw being snatched from my grasp. My eyes turned a painful, bloodshot

red.

My Olivia had only ever defended me before. Now she stood behind another Alpha like a shield.

I lunged forward, wanting to hold her and explain everything. But my body, already at its limit, gave out completely.

I collapsed to the floor. Even as consciousness slipped away, my eyes were locked on Olivia, searching desperately for a

flicker of concern.

I saw nothing but her resolute back as Matthew led her away. My eyes closed, my heart aching more than my failing

organs.

The last sound I heard was Seraphina’s frantic cry. “Quick, call the pack medics!”

(Matthew’s POV)

I led Olivia to a private reception room upstairs. The space was quiet and secure, away from prying eyes.

“I shouldn’t have left you there,” I said, noticing her trembling hadn’t stopped. “Did I frighten you?”

Chapter 143 He Tenderly Kissed Her Cheek

Olivia sat heavily on the sofa. Her face was pale, but she forced composure.

“No, I’m just a little tired. I’ll be fine after a rest.”

She looked up at me with those grey eyes I loved so much. “You should get back to your work.”

She clenched her hands until they were red, forcing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.”

Just then, Beta Tristan called from the door. “Alpha Kane, the Council asks for you.”

I couldn’t delay any longer. The political situation was too delicate.

“I’ll go then. I’ll take you home later.”

As I left, I quietly instructed Beta Tristan. “Have the experts at the Infirmary ready.”

In the Council Chamber, I faced my mentor. He sat with a stern expression next to Declan Shaw.

The other council members eyed me with open hostility. Their disapproval was palpable.

“Matthew, I’ve adopted Declan’s proposal,” Mentor said. His disappointment was clear in every word.

“You never leave a task half–done. To leave at such a critical moment for a she–wolf… you’ve disappointed me.”

I calmly took my seat. My voice remained level despite the accusation.

“Regardless, you would have adopted Declan’s proposal. My leaving for a few minutes is irrelevant.”

I would not allow anyone to slander Olivia. Not even my mentor.

“Unfortunately, Declan’s proposal will not be accepted by the other territories.”

+15 Pounts?

Beta Tristan presented a file with perfect timing. “The situation was stabilized before I arrived. No proposal would have

been of any use.”

The room erupted in murmurs of disbelief. Several council members shifted uncomfortably in their seats.

Mentor’s face flushed with fury. “You’re being disrespectful!”

My voice cut through the room like ice. “Disrespectful? Is using my private life to blackmail me for control of the Europe

territories respectful?”

Mentor stammered, caught off guard. “It was just a moment of anger. But that she–wolf… she’s not very presentable.”

“My mating, my mate, do not require anyone’s approval,” I said coldly. “As for the Europe territories you desire, feel free to

come and take them.”

I left the room, ignoring my mentor’s enraged shouts behind me.

When I re–entered the reception room, my heart nearly stopped. Olivia was curled into a ball on the sofa, trembling violently.
