“She’s still in surgery,” he replied coldly, his voice carrying the weight of his authority.
I noticed the fresh bandages beneath his torn shirt, the scent of silver burns still lingering on his skin.
“Was it Frederick Warner?” I pressed, my mind racing. “The guns, the silver bullets – this has to be his revenge against the Rivers pack!”
Connor’s expression darkened further. His wolf’s dominance pressed against mine with crushing force.
“Shut up,” he growled, his Alpha command making even my proud wolf bow its head.
But I couldn’t stop myself. The sight of Olivia’s blood on the news footage had shattered something inside. me.
“Connor Rivers, if you can’t protect Livvy, why do you keep putting her in harm’s way?” I accused, my voice rising with desperate anger.
The entire corridor fell silent. Every pack member turned to stare at us.
“If it weren’t for your pack’s enemies, she wouldn’t be in danger again and again!” I continued, my wolf’s protective rage overriding all sense. “Is the Rivers pack Alpha so incapable? He can’t even protect the woman he loves!”
Connor’s ice blue eyes blazed with lethal fury. His Alpha presence pressed down on me like a physical weight.
“What are you good for?” I demanded, my voice cracking. “You used to say that I was not worthy of Livvy and not qualified to love her, so what about you? What qualifications do you have as her mate?”
Before Connor could respond, Lily stepped forward. Her voice was sharp with accusation as she defended
Connor.
“And what about you, Ethan?” she shot back, her amber eyes flashing with anger. “What about the harm you inflicted on Olivia with Cassandra Evans? You have no right to question anyone’s qualifications!”.
Her words hit me like a physical blow. The truth of my own failures silenced me completely.
The corridor fell into heavy silence as the evening grew darker. Fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows on the worried faces of pack members gathered around us.
(Katherine’s POV)
William and I arrived at the hospital to find chaos in the emergency corridor. The scent of fear and desperation was overwhelming.
My heart broke seeing Connor’s bloodied hands and the anguish in his ice-blue eyes. Olivia had become like a daughter to me, and the thought of losing her was unbearable.
“Connor, you need medical attention,” I said firmly, noticing the fresh bandages beneath his torn shirt.
“It’s nothing compared to what Olivia is going through,” he replied, his gaze never leaving the operating room doors.
“Don’t be stubborn,” I insisted, my Luna authority coming through. “You can’t help her if you collapse from blood loss.”
I flagged down a nurse and practically forced Connor to get his wounds properly treated. He reluctantly complied, but his eyes remained fixed on where his mate fought for her life.
After Connor left for treatment, I grabbed William’s arm and dragged him outside the hospital. The cold night air hit us as we stepped onto the pavement.
My fury, building for years, finally erupted. I slapped him hard across the face, my Luna strength behind the blow.
“This is all your fault!” I screamed, my voice echoing in the empty parking lot.
William staggered from the impact, his hand moving to his reddened cheek. “Katherine, what are you-“
“Frederick Warner is your son!” I interrupted, my amber eyes blazing with decades of suppressed rage. “Your illegitimate son who you showed leniency toward for years!”.
William’s face went pale. “I didn’t know what he would become when he was born,” he said weakly.

“You should have prevented his birth!” I continued, my voice rising with each word. “Or dealt with the threat he posed years ago! You are the one to blame for everything that has happened!”
My hands shook with fury as I faced the man I had once loved. “Because of your past mistakes, Connor almost lost his life! The Winters family almost broke down!”
William tried to defend himself, but I cut him off with a gesture.
“Because you are at the root a cold-blooded, unfeeling Alpha,” I said, my voice settling into deadly calm. “You” are the culprit, but you have taken yourself out of it.”
I slowed my voice, each word deliberate and cutting. “Because of your past mistakes, Connor almost lost his life, and the Winters family almost broke down, but you are here to accuse me of forcing you to face consequences? Blame your parents for not allowing Frederick to be acknowledged?”
My voice dropped to a whisper. “William, do you still have a conscience?”
“I’m severing our mate bond,” I declared, my Luna authority making the words binding. “I’m leaving the Rivers pack forever.”
William’s face crumpled as the weight of my words hit him. The mate bond between us began to fracture, causing physical pain to shoot through both our bodies.
“Katherine, please-” he began, but suddenly doubled over.
Blood spilled from his mouth as he coughed violently. The stress and guilt had finally overwhelmed his Alpha constitution.
He collapsed to the pavement, his body convulsing as more blood stained the concrete beneath him.
(Katherine’s POV)
“Poisoning?” I was shocked and couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
The pack doctor used a lot of professional terms about silver toxicity and wolfsbane compounds. I didn’t quite understand the medical terminology at all.
“Doctor, please explain it again in simpler terms,” I requested, my voice trembling with confusion and fear.
The doctor nodded patiently. “It turned out that William Rivers had chronic poisoning from a rare wolfsbane derivative.”
He continued his explanation carefully. “This kind of poison was soluble in water and was colorless and odorless.”
“Taking a small amount occasionally would not cause obvious symptoms in a werewolf’s body,” the doctor said gravely. “But long-term use would invade the internal organs and slowly kill even an Alpha.”
My mind raced as I recalled recent details that now seemed clearer. William’s recent hair loss, his worsening appetite, the dark circles under his eyes.
His overall listless appearance suddenly made sense. I hadn’t paid much attention, assuming it was just old age and the stress of pack leadership weighing on him.
How could I have been so blind? The signs were all there, but I had dismissed them as natural aging.
With Olivia Winters still in emergency care and now William Rivers also in the emergency room, the hospital issued a critical condition notice. I signed it, feeling dazed and overwhelmed.
I contacted Gerald Rivers about William’s poisoning via secure pack communication. Gerald Rivers, who was in the capital city, expressed his shock and concern over the encrypted call.
“Katherine, this is impossible,” Gerald’s voice crackled through the secure line. “Who would dare poison an
Alpha?”
I suspected Vanessa Reed and Frederick Warner were involved, given Vanessa’s past actions for Frederick.” Gerald, I believe Vanessa is behind this.”
That’s a serious accusation,” Gerald replied, his voice heavy with authority. “But given recent events, we cannot ignore the possibility.”
Gerald instructed me to contact the pack enforcers immediately. He said he would apply to return to Riverdale to confront Frederick Warner and Vanessa Reed personally.
Eleanor Rivers, overhearing the conversation, became upset. She refused to believe Vanessa would poison
