Olivia… my mate… was lying unconscious on the cold marble floor. Blood pooled beneath her head, staining her golden curls and soaking into the seams between the tiles. Her lifeless form looked so small, so fragile. And right beside her–Reven. Her trembling hands were stained crimson. Her eyes, wide with shock and fear, met mine, but she didn’t move. Didn’t speak.

“What the hell happened here?” I barked, my voice a mix of fury, confusion, and disbelief.

Reven flinched at my tone, her lips trembling. “S–sorry, Alpha… it’s not what you think.”

Not what I think?

The sight of my mate in a pool of her own blood, in a room she had no business being in, beside a maid who shouldn’t have had any interaction with her at all–what exactly was I supposed to think?

“Answer the damn question!” I snarled, stalking toward her. “What happened here, and why is my mate bleeding out on the floor of your room?”

Tears spilled from Reven’s eyes, but she still didn’t speak. Her mouth opened, but no words came out. The silence drove me to the brink. I didn’t want excuses. I didn’t want tears. I wanted the truth—and I wanted it now.

“I–I didn’t mean to…” she finally whispered, her voice trembling. “We… we were in a heated argument.”

My brows furrowed at that, fury flaring. “A heated argument?” I repeated incredulously. “You–a maid–had a heated argument with the Luna?”

Reven’s body shook, but she nodded. “She came in… angry. Accused me of trying to use Elisa to get close to you. I tried to explain, but she wouldn’t listen. She insulted me, called me names, and I–I got upset. I was only trying to leave the room…”

I didn’t buy it. Not entirely. “And how did that lead to this?” I gestured sharply toward Olivia’s body.

“She stood in my way,” Reven whispered, fresh tears spilling down her cheeks. “I–I shoved past her, but I didn’t realize… I didn’t mean to push her so hard. She lost her balance and hit her head.”

Something in her voice rang true, but the rage inside me was louder than reason. My mate–my Luna–was bleeding, unconscious, and this girl, this servant, was the only one present. My instincts screamed for justice. For retribution.

“You shoved her?” I echoed, stepping forward until I was looming over her. “You laid your hands on her?”

Reven’s eyes widened as I reached for her, my hand gripping her throat in blind fury. Her breath caught as I lifted her off the ground with one hand, her legs dangling, her fingers clawing at mine. The wolf in me demanded punishment–demanded that she suffer for what she’d done. I could feel the fury rising, the primal need for vengeance boiling inside me.

She choked on her breath. “P–please… Alpha… I didn’t mean to—”

My hand tightened. I could feel her heartbeat stuttering beneath my palm, her fear thick in the air. I wanted to crush the truth out of her.

Then her words echoed again in my mind.

It was an accident… she lost her balance…

Why was she even with Olivia in the first place? What kind of argument would cause a maid and the Luna to go at each other like that? It didn’t make sense. None of this made sense.

But I couldn’t think about that now. Olivia needed help.

Chapter 64

With a growl of disgust, released Reven. She dropped hard to the floot, landing on her tailbone with a sharp gasp of pain. She didn’t fight back, Didn’t speak. She just curled in on herself, trembling

I turned my back on her and rushed to Olivia. Her breathing was shallow, her pulse faint. My heart twisted painfully as I scooped her into my aries, cradling her fragile body as though she might break into a thousand pieces.

“Guards!” I shouted.

Two guards burst into the hallway, alarmed by the volume in my voice.

“Take her,” I snapped, jerking my chin toward Reven. “Lock her up in the dungeon. Don’t let anyone speak to her until I say otherwise.”

They nodded and moved quickly, seizing Reven by the arms. She didn’t resist. She just let herself be dragged away, her face pale and streaked with tears.

I didn’t watch her go.

Tran–Olivia’s body limp in my arms, her blood seeping into my shirt, the metallic scent overwhelming my senses. My wolf stirred inside me, restless and pacing, but… quiet. Too quiet.

Where was the rage? The howling? The panic that should’ve ripped through my bond?

Why did my wolf feel so… numb?

I kicked open the doors to the pack clinic, shouting for the healers. “She hit her head–she’s bleeding. Help her! Now!”

They rushed forward, taking Olivia from my arms, placing her on a stretcher. The head healer, Elena, quickly examined the wound while two others prepared equipment and IVs.

“She’s lost a lot of blood,” Elena muttered, frowning as she cleaned the wound. “We need to stop the bleeding and check for internal damage. You need to stay outside, Alpha. We’ll do everything we can.”

I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to be at her side. But I forced myself to nod. My fists clenched, knuckles white, as I stepped into the hallway outside the

clinic room.

The moment the door shut, silence swallowed me whole.

I leaned against the wall, heart pounding, jaw clenched so hard it hurt.

What the hell just happened?

Why was Olivia even in Reven’s room?
