Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

(Ethan's POV)

Victoria Frost had descended into madness. Her spirit was completely shattered by the relentless torment from Regina Blackwater and the other inmates at Shadowfall Detention Center.

A professional psychological assessment confirmed her severe mental breakdown. Her behavior had become uncontrollable. The report recommended immediate transfer to Moonstone Psychiatric Facility.

Her wolf had retreated so deeply within her consciousness that it could no longer provide any protection or stability to her fractured mind. The once-proud she-wolf was now a broken shell of her former self.

I held the psychiatric assessment report in my hands. My amber eyes fell upon Victoria, who was huddled in the corner of Cell Block C.

She was disheveled and muttering incoherently to herself. Her once-perfect appearance was now marred by bruises and filth.

Victoria alternated between manic laughter and sudden weeping. Her face contorted with terror as she flailed her arms.

"Don't come near me! Don't hit me!" she screamed at invisible tormentors.

Then she would plead desperately. "It wasn't me who killed you, it wasn't me, don't haunt me!"

Kneeling on the cold concrete floor, she caressed the empty ground. "Emma, I'm your mother," she murmured tenderly to nothing.

In another fit, she banged her head against the stone wall. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" she chanted with brutal force.

Blood trickled down her forehead. She seemed oblivious to the pain, lost in her fractured reality.

When the detention guards intervened, she suddenly fixated on me with her damaged eyes. Her bloody face softened with a distorted affection.

"Ethan, have you come to mark me as your mate?" she asked desperately.

"Ethan, you promised you would bond with me, why haven't you yet?"

I stared back, my expression unreadable. My wolf recoiled from her broken state, feeling only disgust and pity.

The report confirmed her complete mental collapse. If it was an act, it was a desperate attempt to escape the detention center.

She foolishly believed a psychiatric facility would be a sanctuary. Perhaps she saw it as an opportunity for escape during transport.

"Since she's mentally unstable, transfer her to Moonstone Psychiatric Facility," I declared.

I left the detention center without another glance. My wolf was heavy with the weight of what Victoria had become.

Victoria was transferred to Moonstone Psychiatric Facility. Both Northern Territory Enforcers and my personal security team from Stone Pack Enterprises escorted her.

Back at my private office, Maxwell Chen reported to me. "Alpha King, during transport, Victoria feigned needing to use the restroom."

"While being escorted there by the facility staff, she attempted to escape into the crowd of humans. She was immediately apprehended by our security detail."

"Understood," I replied curtly.

Whether her madness was genuine or feigned, Victoria would have no chance of escape. Leaving the detention center for a psychiatric facility was simply the beginning of another nightmare.

For a sane person, being confined with the genuinely mentally ill would only lead to further psychological deterioration. Victoria had chosen her own hell.

I reviewed the latest reports from the Lily Memorial Foundation. This was an organization I had established three years prior in memory of my deceased daughter.

Lily had succumbed to kidney failure. The foundation provided financial and medical aid to werewolf pups suffering from

similar conditions throughout the Northern Territories.

I intended to entrust the

management of the Lily Memorial Foundation to Olivia Winters. It would honor our daughter's memory while giving Olivia a meaningful purpose in her healing journey.

Perhaps through this foundation, I could begin to make amends for my failures as

a father and mate. It was a small step toward redemption.

(Victoria's POV)

I had successfully escaped the detention center, but I quickly realized my mistake. Feigning insanity would not make the guards relax their vigilance as I had hoped.

I hadn't expected Ethan to maintain such close surveillance over me even in the psychiatric facility. His security team watched my every move.

Being locked up in Moonstone Psychiatric Facility made me understand the truth.

The Alpha King truly had no intention of ever letting me go free.

This place was even more unbearable than Shadowfall Detention Center had been. The genuinely mentally ill patients were unpredictable and violent.

After a week of agonizing torment among them, I feared I would actually lose my sanity permanently. The irony was not lost on me.

While I was suffering in this hellish place, Olivia Winters was living a peaceful life outside. Lucas Blackwood's protection ensured her comfort and safety.

I had been harmed so severely. I was suffering, I was being tortured. Why should that Luna live such a comfortable existence?

If it wasn't for Olivia clinging to that worthless little pup's memory, this wouldn't have happened. She had turned Ethan against me with her pathetic grief.

And Ethan-he had made me so wretched. I would make him suffer for the rest of his life.

As long as Olivia Winters died, Alpha King Ethan Stone would live in agonizing pain forever. His wolf would never recover from losing his true mate.

I identified an opportunity with one of the male human staff members. He worked

at the psychiatric facility, bringing meals and checking on patients.

I noticed he was taking advantage of some of the confused female werewolf patients. They couldn't defend themselves, and this became my chance for manipulation.

I was exceptionally skilled at seduction. This was a talent I had honed over years of manipulating powerful pack members.

When the male staff member came to bring my meals, I deliberately tore my hospital gown open. I revealed myself and used my remaining she-wolf allure to entice him.

When his eyes lingered on my exposed form, I took the initiative to approach him. I endured my disgust as I touched his belt and assumed a submissive position.

It took me three days of calculated seduction to completely win over the male staff member. I played the victim perfectly, gaining his sympathy and pity.noveldrama

I spun tales of being wrongfully imprisoned by a jealous Alpha's mate. The foolish human believed every word I said.

He eventually agreed to secretly take me out of Moonstone Psychiatric Facility.

He brought me back to his modest home on the outskirts of Shadow Creek.

The male staff member's house was located not far from Maple Grove. This was where Olivia had taken residence after leaving Ethan.

Standing by the grimy window of my temporary sanctuary, I could see the peaceful residential district in the distance. A crazed light flashed in my damaged eyes as my broken wolf stirred with malicious intent.

If I was destined for hell, I would drag that pathetic Luna Olivia Winters down into

the abyss with me! The time for subtle manipulation and political maneuvering had

passed.

Now only direct, brutal revenge would satisfy my shattered psyche and give meaning to my ruined existence.
