"No," he replied, patting my head gently.
The store manager approached cautiously. "Alpha King, do you still need to pack the things you picked out just
now?"
"Yes," Daddy nodded.
With the crisis averted, my energy returned. | peeked around Daddy to see what he had chosen.
When the staff brought out piles of beautifully wrapped packages, my eyes widened with excitement. | broke
away from Daddy
and rushed over.
"Daddy, are these all bought for Emmy?" | exclaimed, bouncing on my toes. "Emmy likes them all so much,
thank you, Daddy!
Emmy loves you the most!"
| was already imagining how jealous my packmates would be when they saw all my new toys. Daddy hadn't even
letpick
anything out, and he'd already chosen so many wonderful gifts for me!
"Emmy, these are for Lily," Daddy said quietly. "Go pick out what you like yourself."
The smile froze on my face. For Lily? The dead pup?

| remembered now-he'd toldthis when we entered the store. | could choose my own gifts, while he selected
things for Lily.
| turned away quickly so Daddy wouldn't see my expression. Jealousy burned in my chest. Why did he need to
buy things for a
dead pup? Why did Lily Winters still matter so much?
| stomped over to the shelves to pick out my own toys, my back to Daddy so he wouldn't seesqueezing a
stuffed wolf until its eyes bulged. Even dead, Lily Winters was still competing with me.
(Olivia's POV)
| knelt before Lily's grave at Sacred Moonlight Cemetery, carefully arranging the new toys I'd purchased. Lucas
knelt beside me, helping to wipe dust from her tombstone.
The pain never lessened. Two years without my daughter, and sometimes | still woke up reaching for her,
expecting to feel her
small body curled against mine.
"Lily, Mommy brought you snew toys," | whispered, touching her portrait on the tombstone. "The Ice
Princess figurine you
always wanted."
Lucas watchedwith gentle eyes. After | finished speaking to Lily, he cleared his throat softly.
"Liv, do you have an answer for what | said to you at the airport that day?"
| knew why he'd chosen this moment to ask again-here, before Lily. It was his
way of including her in this important decision,
of seeking her approval as well as mine.

| turned to face him, my heart conflicted but warming to his consideration. Just as
| opened my mouth to respond, a figure
appeared between us.
Ethan stood there, arms laden with beautifully wrapped gifts. He rudely used the packages to block Lucas from
my view, his
amber eyes flashing a warning at the other Alpha before turning towith a gentleness that made my wolf
bristle.
"Move," | said coldly.
"Liv, these are what | specially bought for Lily," Ethan said, placing his offerings before her grave.
| felt rage bubble up inside me. After years of neglecting her when she was alive, now he thought he could buy
her affection in
death?
"Lily doesn't need them," | snapped, sweeping his gifts aside with one angry motion. "Take these to your Emma
Frost. Don't use

them to disgust my Lily."
Ethan's lips pressed into a thin line as he watched his carefully selected presents scatter across the ground.
"Alpha King Stone, Lily doesn't need you to worry about her. I'll buy her what she likes," Lucas said firmly,
standing beside me.
"Lily is my daughter. | don't need you to worry about her," Ethan growled, his eyes darkening as he looked at
Lucas.
"Alpha King Stone, you finally know Lily is your daughter?" Lucas's voice dripped with sarcasm. "If | didn't know
better, I'd
think Emma Frost was your biological daughter!"
Ethan had no response. He moved silently to retrieve the scattered gifts while |
prepared to leave. | couldn't stop him from
visiting Lily, but I didn't have to witness it.
"Lucas, let's go back," | said, turning away from Ethan.
Lucas helpedto my feet. | reached out to touch Lily's portrait one last time.
"Lily, Mommy is going back," | whispered.
Lucas added, "Lily, don't worry about your mommy. Uncle Lucas will help you take good care of your mommy."
The words were meant for Lily, but also for Ethan to hear. | didn't contradict Lucas, and from the corner of my
eye, | saw Ethan
crush a gift box in his hand.
