Chapter 79: Beat Her to Death

(Olivia’s POV)

“My Luna, I’m sorry, I didn’t know Clara Thorne’s true identity before I helped Caleb Thorne.” Theodore pulled me into his arms again and said to Dean Prescott, “Change the second building to a donation for my Luna.”

The Dean’s eyes lit up with relief. Seeing no loss for the university, he happily agreed. “Of course, Alpha Theodore. This would invalidate Clara’s admission points, leading to her expulsion and the revocation of her graduation certificate.” Watching my cold expression, Theodore didn’t hesitate to add, “Change the building’s name too. Combine them into ‘Rose Tower‘.”

Rose. Our lost pup.

The name struck me with such a wave of sorrow that my stomach churned violently. I rushed to the washroom, my hand pressed against my mouth.

Theodore followed, his amber eyes darkening with suspicion as he watched me retch without bringing anything up. The scene was disturbingly similar to my morning sickness when I was pregnant with Leo and our daughter who died at birth.

“I don’t need help,” I lied, wiping my mouth with shaking hands. “It’s just from taking moonlight herb on an empty stomach.”

I understood that Theodore must have become suspicious. His calculating gaze told me everything I needed to know.

Before I would rest, I had one more thing to do. At a nearby Warden’s Post, I calmly approached the front desk.

“I want to report a crime. Someone stole my mother’s belongings.”

The enforcer looked up from his paperwork. “What are the details, Luna?”

“The crime occurred in Stonehaven City in 2016. The suspect is Ophelia Thorne. The stolen items include a silk dress and an emerald necklace.”

I pulled out my phone, accessing an auction house website. The archived records of my mother, Lyra Blackwood’s, priceless jewelry appeared on the screen.

“Here’s the proof.” I then opened Clara’s social media feed, pointing to a photo of Ophelia wearing the distinctive necklace. “Look, the ‘Lyra‘ character mark on this emerald pendant is identical to the one in the auction house archive.”

The enforcers leaned forward, comparing the images. “The evidence is clear enough for a search warrant, Luna.”

Throughout the process, Theodore remained a silent observer. I noted his unnerving calmness, certain he planned to

warn them.

I quietly followed behind him and walked outside, ostensibly to call Alistair for food. Instead, I dialed the pack infirmary.

“I need to speak with Healer Elias,” I said when someone answered.

“I’m sorry, Luna. The healer is away for three days.”

My heart sank. I needed to confirm my pregnancy, but it would have to wait.

The pack enforcers acted swiftly. Within hours, Ophelia Thorne was arrested.

A trove of stolen luxury goods was discovered in her home, matching my list perfectly. I stood in the station, watching as they brought her in.

‘The items were gifts from my mate, Silvanus Thorne!” Ophelia insisted, her voice shrill with desperation.

I stepped forward, my voice cold as winter. “The jewelry was my mother’s personal property. Silvanus had no right to give it to you!”

Seeing her defense crumble, Ophelia turned vicious. Her face twisted with rage as she screamed threats.

“You little b***h! I’ll get out, and my daughter will not let you go!”

Hearing his mate being threatened, Theodore strode into the hall. His Alpha aura radiated dangerous intensity as he locked onto Ophelia with chilling amber eyes.

“How will your daughter not let my Luna go?” he asked, his voice carrying the weight of his authority.

Terrified, Ophelia began to beg for mercy. “Alpha, please, I didn’t mean-”

Theodore cut her off. “My Luna is never wrong. If she says you stole it, you stole it.”

After signing the official papers, I left the station. I shrugged off Theodore’s attempt to hold my hand.

“Pick up Leo,” I told him curtly. “I’m returning to the manor alone.”

Back at the Redgrave Manor, I was packing a small bag when a hysterical voice erupted from downstairs. The sound of breaking glass echoed through the halls.

It was Clara Thorne, screaming and threatening to destroy the house. Her voice carried up the stairs like a banshee’s wail.

She charged at me the moment I appeared at the top of the staircase. “Why did you report my mother? Why did you get me expelled from Crestwood?”

I was too weary to engage. I simply glanced at the Pack Omegas, who hesitated, knowing Clara’s status as Theodore’s
