(Olivia's POV)

"No!"

The scream tore from my throat as | watched Lily's remains disappear into the water below. My eyes, bloodshot

and wild with desperation, tracked the crystal pendant's arc through the air before it vanished beneath the

rippling surface of the Moonlit Reflection Pool.

"Lily..." | murmured, my voice breaking on my daughter's name.

Without thinking, | tumbled out of the hospital bed, ignoring the searing pain that shot through

my battered body. | rushed to the window, my heart pounding frantically in my chest. The

rational part of my mind knew the drop was dangerous, but | didn't care. All that mattered was

saving what remained of my daughter.

| leaned dangerously far out, my body already halfway through the opening. The cool night air

hit my face as | stared down at the shimmering water below. | was too late. The pendant

containing Lily's ashes had already disappeared beneath the surface.

Strong hands suddenly gripped my waist, pullingback from the edge. Ethan's fingers dug into my skin as he

yankedaway from the window.

"What the hell are you doing?" he demanded, his amber eyes blazing with anger and

confusion.

He couldn't understand. How could he? He'd never cared about Lily when she was alive. Why

would he care about her remains now?

| pushed against his chest with all my strength, surprising both of us with the force of my fury. "Get away from

me!"

My eyes burned with unshed tears as | shoved past him. | had to get to the pool. | had to find Lily's pendant

before it was lost forever.

| didn't spare Ethan a second glance as | rushed out of the room, my mind

consumed with only one thought: saving what remained of my daughter. The hospital corridor blurred around me

as | ran toward the elevator.

"Olivia Winters!" Ethan's voice boomed behind me, but I ignored him.

| slammed my palm against the elevator button repeatedly, willing the doors to open faster.

When they finally did, | stumbled inside and jabbed at the ground floor button. Just as the

doors began to close, | caught a glimpse of Ethan running toward me, his face contorted with

rage.

The doors shut in his face, and | sagged against the elevator wall, my breath coming in short,

painful gasps. My ribs screamed in protest with each inhale, but | pushed the pain aside.

Nothing mattered except getting to Lily.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, | burst out and headed straight for

the back exit of the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den. The cool night air hitlike a physical blow as | stumbled

outside, my thin hospital gown offering little protection against the chill.

| spotted the Moonlit Reflection Pool immediately, its surface shimmering under the pale light of the moon.

Without hesitation, | ran toward it, my bare feet slapping against the cold ground.

My mind was clouded by grief, all reason abandoned. All | knew was that Lily had fallen into the water, and | had

to get her back. Nothing else mattered.

| reached the edge of the pool and climbed over the decorative railing, preparing to jump in.

The water looked black and bottomless in the moonlight, but | didn't care about the danger. |

had to find Lily.

"Olivia Winters!"

Ethan's voice cut through the night just as | was about to leap. Before | could jump, his hand clamped around my

wrist, yankingbackward with such force that | fell against his chest.

His arms wrapped aroundlike steel bands, trappingagainst him. | could feel his heart

hammering against my back as he heldtightly.

“Letgo!” | screamed, struggling against his grip. “I need to find her!"

Ethan's hand pressed against my back, his fingers feeling the protruding bones through my thin hospital gown. |

felt his body stiffen as he realized how much weight I'd lost.

| trembled violently, my lips turning blue with cold in the moonlight. Without warning, Ethan opened his Black

Alpha Overcoat and wrapped it around me, ignoring my struggles.

"Are you crazy?" he growled, his face darkening with anger. "Do you know what you're doing? In this weather?

Jumping into the water?" His voice dripped with sarcasm as he added, "Do

you think you're too healthy?"

| didn't care about his concern or his anger. All | cared about was retrieving Lily's ashes.

"Ethan Stone, my business is none of your business, letgo!" | twisted in his arms, trying to

break free. The warmth | once craved from him now felt suffocating. "Ethan Stone, | told you to

letgo, do you hear me?!"

My voice rose to a shout, my eyes flashing with desperation and fury. | needed him to

understand that nothing mattered more than finding that pendant.

Ethan's anger seemed to intensify with each passing second. His fingers dug painfully into my

wrist as he began draggingback toward the medical den.

"Back to the ward," he commanded, his voice leaving no room for argument. "Stop this

madness."

| resisted with every ounce of strength | had left, biting and kicking like a wild animal. But my

weakened state was no match for his werewolf strength.

The Silvercrest Pack Medical Den was quiet at this hour, but our commotion attracted attention. Patients and

their families peeked out from their rooms, whispering among themselves as they watched the Alpha King

dragging his struggling mate through the

corridors.

Ethan's face darkened further as he sensed the attention we were drawing. "Olivia Winters, are you done?" he

hissed through clenched teeth. "For that piece of

junk-"

"Ethan Stone, shut up!" | couldn't bear to hear him call Lily's pendant junk one more time. My chest heaved with

anger as | cut him off. "I won't let you insult that pendant again. It's not

junk, it's..."

The words “made of Lily's ashes" caught in my throat. | couldn't bring myself to say them, to make myself that

vulnerable to him again.

Suddenly, the world tilted around me. The combination of emotional distress and physical injuries overwhelmed

my system. My vision blurred, then darkened at the edges. | stumbled, my knees buckling beneath me.
