Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

I saw no reason to extend compassion to Emma Frost, whom I regarded as

unworthy of my sacrifice. My racing career was already

destroyed-why should I give up a kidney too?

"Ethan Stone, when Lily needed a kidney, you didn't lift a finger," I spat, unable to contain my rage. "If you'd listened to Olivia

even once, Lily might still be alive. How do you treat your own daughter like garbage and another she-wolf's daughter like a

treasure?"

My outrage was compounded by the knowledge that Emma wasn't even Ethan's biological child, making his favoritism all the

more infuriating. The pain of Lily's death and Olivia's suffering was senseless in my eyes, my wolf growling with barely

contained fury.

Ethan's hand tightened around the papers, which I now recognized as the Broken Pact of Sacrifice-the very document I'd signed

to donate my kidney to Lily before it was mysteriously canceled. My accusations landed precisely on his deepest regrets; I could

see it in his eyes.

But Ethan forced himself to set aside those emotions. "This isn't about the past. Right now, a pup's life is at stake."

"Not my problem," I replied coldly. "Find another donor."

Ethan's jaw tightened. "There is no other compatible donor available in time. You're the only match."

"Then I guess Emma Frost will die," I said, my voice flat. "Just like Lily did."

Ethan's eyes flashed with Alpha power. "I can make your life very difficult, James Knight."

I laughed bitterly. "What can you do? I have nothing left to lose. Your threats mean nothing to me."

My racing career was over. What else could he take from me?

Ethan's tone grew colder and more dangerous, his wolf's eyes briefly glowing with Alpha power: "If you don't care about

yourself, what about Olivia?"

The threat was subtle but clear-if Emma died because of my refusal, Ethan would make sure Olivia suffered.

"Don't expect Lucas Blackwood to protect her," he continued, his voice low and menacing. “If Emma dies, Olivia will never have another good day in Silvercrest territory, and with me as Alpha, she'll never work in crystal design again."

I was forced to confront the terrifying possibility, my wolf retreating slightly. I knew how fragile Olivia's mental health was after losing Lily, and I could not risk her spiraling back into the darkness of depression.

The pain of her previous struggle was still fresh for me; I had been the one by her side when she had attempted suicide in the Silvermoon River. I'd pulled her from those dark waters, held her as she cried for Lily, promised her that I would always protect

her.

"You wouldn't," I challenged, but the certainty in Ethan's eyes told me otherwise.

"I would," he confirmed. "Emma's life means that much to me."

"And Lily's didn't?" I couldn't help but ask, my voice breaking slightly.

A flash of something-regret, perhaps-crossed Ethan's face before his expression hardened again. "This isn't about Lily. It's

about Emma, who is still alive and can be saved."

I stared at him, hatred burning in my chest. "You're a monster, Ethan Stone."

"Call me what you want," he replied evenly. "But make your decision. Emma doesn't have much time."

In the end, my anger and hatred for Ethan could not override my fear for Olivia's future. I stared at the Alpha King, searching for a shred of insincerity in those amber eyes, but saw none-Ethan was utterly serious, his wolf's determination unwavering.

With a heavy heart and suppressed rage, I surrendered, my wolf howling in silent protest within me.noveldrama

Ethan, his patience spent, placed the Broken Pact of Sacrifice and a pen before me. After a long, tortured hesitation, I finally picked up the pen and turned to the donor section of the agreement, my hand shaking with the weight of my decision.
