Due to her unhealed wounds and doctor’s orders against excessive movement, Olivia wanted to attend but was forbidden by Richard Winters. She remained confined to the hospital against her wishes.
During this time, she sent messages to Rebecca Frost. Her concern for Connor was evident in every carefully worded text.
Lily hadn’t attended the funeral either. She was severely frightened by William Rivers’ suicide and had been having nightmares.
She stayed home for psychological treatment. Olivia called every few days to check on Lily’s condition.
Ethan Quinn always answered that her psychological state remained poor. The trauma had affected her more deeply than anyone anticipated.
After the funeral, Rebecca called back. She lowered her voice as she walked to her car while updating Olivia on the situation.
“Connor’s emotions seem normal,” Rebecca said quietly. “Don’t worry too much about him.”
Knowing the call was about Connor, Rebecca’s reassurance made Olivia feel relieved through their strengthening bond. The connection between them pulsed with distant comfort.
As Rebecca continued chatting, she suddenly stopped mid-sentence. A familiar face appeared in her line of sight.
Miranda approached and greeted her with a polite smile. “Rebecca, what a coincidence seeing you here.” After hanging up with Olivia, Rebecca responded coolly to Miranda’s dinner invitation. “Hello, Miranda.”
Initially wanting to refuse, Rebecca changed her mind. She remembered Miranda’s past feelings for Connor and suspected she wanted information about him.
Rebecca also wanted to gauge whether Miranda still harbored feelings for Connor. This could be an opportunity to gather intelligence.
That evening at 7:30 PM, they sat in a private room at an upscale members-only restaurant. The establishment was under Silverridge Holdings, ensuring privacy and discretion.
Miranda and Rebecca sat face to face across the elegant table. The atmosphere was polite but tense beneath the surface.
After exchanging pleasantries about the funeral and mutual acquaintances, Miranda finally broached the real. topic. Her voice carried carefully controlled emotion.
“Rebecca, I heard about Connor and Olivia’s broken mate bond,” Miranda said softly. “Is it true they’ve completely severed their connection?”
Despite being abroad, she had kept tabs on Connor through various pack connections. She was deeply saddened when she learned of his arranged mating with the Winters pack last year.
The Silverridge and Rivers packs had been allied since Gerald Rivers’ generation. Pack elders once jokingly arranged a childhood mating between her and Connor.
Connor was Miranda’s first love during her adolescent years. Despite numerous suitors due to her outstanding appearance and pack background, she could never see anyone else.
His brilliance as an Alpha heir had captivated her completely. No other man could compare to his strength and intelligence.
Before studying abroad, she confessed her feelings at nineteen. She hoped he might ask her to stay, but Connor rejected her completely.
“I already have someone I care for,” he had said simply. That someone was Olivia.
Though jealous, Miranda acknowledged Olivia’s beauty and exceptional achievements. Olivia excelled in academics and various competitions with natural grace.
Proudly, Miranda didn’t persist after rejection. But she declared she wouldn’t give up, silently vowing to improve herself enough to catch his attention.
Now, asking about the severed mate bond four months later, she nervously feared hearing an answer she didn’t want to hear. Her hands trembled slightly as she waited for Rebecca’s response.
Whisper 261
(Rebecca’s POV)
It was just as I expected. I nodded and said calmly, “Yes, they severed their mate bond.”
Miranda’s relief was obvious. Her shoulders relaxed and a subtle smile played at the corners of her mouth.
I observed the change in her expression carefully. Then I asked bluntly, “Do you still have feelings for Alpha
Connor?”
Miranda was stunned. She clearly hadn’t expected me to be so direct about such a personal matter.
“Yes,” Miranda generously admitted after a moment’s pause. “It has never changed over these years.”
I was slightly surprised by her honesty. Most she-wolves would try to deflect or deny such feelings.
“You are truly a devoted person,” I said. “If I remember correctly, it’s been about seven years, right?”
“Yes,” Miranda lowered her eyes and responded softly. Her voice carried the weight of those long years.
I sighed inwardly. It wasn’t easy to love someone wholeheartedly for so long.
But mate bonds and feelings weren’t something that could be achieved with persistence alone. Love required mutual connection, not just one-sided devotion.
“But…” I smiled carefully. “Alpha Connor still loves Olivia very much. I think they might reconcile their mate bond.”
Miranda’s smile disappeared from her lips instantly. Her amber eyes sharpened with concern.
“How so?” she asked, leaning forward slightly.
“Their severed bond was actually due to hidden reasons,” I explained. “It wasn’t because they stopped loving each other or grew tired of their connection.”
Miranda’s brow furrowed as she listened intently.
“Frederick Warner, the Rivers pack’s illegitimate son, knew that Olivia was Connor’s weakness,” I continued. “
Frederick kidnapped Olivia and almost killed her several times.”
Miranda’s eyes widened in shock.
“Olivia was shot by Frederick’s mercenaries not long ago and is still recovering in the hospital, I finished.
“Such a thing actually happened!” Miranda exclaimed, her hand flying to her throat.
“Alas…” I sighed heavily. “Fortunately, Frederick has now been brought to justice.”
Miranda frowned deeply. Her face grew grave as she seemed lost in thought.
I could see her mind racing, processing this new information about Connor and Olivia’s situation.
“Miranda,” I looked at her with a serious expression. “Feelings and mate bonds cannot be forced”
Miranda forced a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “I know, but…”
She paused for a moment, gathering her thoughts before continuing,
“I really can’t let go. This time I came back to the territory, I want to fight for myself.”
Her voice grew more determined. “They have already severed their mate bond, so pursuing Connor now doesn’t count as interfering in their relationship.”
I looked at Miranda, hesitating to speak. The words of discouragement sat heavy on my tongue.
Miranda knew what I wanted to say. It was nothing more than advising her to give up.
She had already tried to give up seven years ago. But she had been unable to let go all these years.
