Chapter 19: Never Having Children with Theodore Again
Chapter 19: Never Having Children with Theodore Again
(Olivia’s POV)
Eleonora’s eyes blazed with fury as she stepped closer to Theodore. “Why has Clara appeared at The
Crimson Pup Creche despite being cast out from the pack?”
Her voice cut through the stunned silence like a blade. “You better have a good explanation for this,
Theodore.”
“Not only will Olivia be angry, but I, Isadora, Alaric, and Iris will never forgive you if you’ve done something
unforgivable.”
Seeing her act so righteously, if I hadn’t known that she and Clara were as close as mother and daughter in
private, I would have been moved to tears on the spot.
Isadora snatched the folder from the pack enforcer’s hands. Her face went pale as she flipped through the
surveillance images.
“Brother,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Tell me you haven’t truly done something to betray your
mate.”
She threw the folder to the ground in disbelief. The photos scattered across the estate’s stone entrance.
Theodore’s arm was wrapped tightly around me. I struggled to break free, but the more I struggled, the
tighter he held on.
I already know who saved me. The one who called me “Junior Sister” at the creche, who altered the surveillance footage-only he has that kind of ability – Kilian.
Seeing my collapse, he would have immediately checked the surveillance footage. He discovered the truth and remotely replaced the images that the pack enforcers found.
Theodore’s dark eyes were unfathomable. No one could tell what he was thinking behind that
impenetrable gaze.
A small voice broke through the tension. “What’s happening?”
Leo climbed out of the back seat, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He had been napping during our drive back.
He saw the scattered photos on the ground and immediately bent down to collect them. “Grandma, why
are you throwing away my photos with Aunt Clara?”
His small hands gathered the printed images carefully. “Aunt Clara is going abroad. These are our last photos together.”
Tears began streaming down his face. “I’ll never see her again.”
Leo clutched the stack of photos against his chest, crying silently.

He had been influenced by Clara’s manipulation. With Clara gone, I believed Leo would learn to distinguish
right from wrong as he grew up.
At dinner, Eleonora watched as Theodore carried me into the grand dining hall. He gently tended to my injured hand with cold water.
She handed Theodore a small tube of ointment. “Apply this to Olivia’s hand.”
Eleonora chuckled softly. “It brings good fortune to the pack when the Luna disciplines her Alpha.”
“Clara is to blame for all this trouble,” she continued firmly. “She will not be allowed back into the pack.”
Theodore carefully spread the ointment across my palm. His touch was gentle.
Eleonora settled into her chair at the head of the table. “The family should spend more time together.”
Her eyes focused on me with meaningful intensity. “Olivia, you should consider having another pup.”
“Lyra’s death anniversary is approaching,” she continued, “Her spirit will soon bless you with a daughter.”
I stared at Eleonora with a cold, sharp gaze. Her expression became slightly unnatural under my scrutiny.
But she pressed on relentlessly. “Your mother would want you to have more children. She would want the
Redgrave line to continue.”
I sneered. How dare she? After indulging Theodore’s mistress, she still had the audacity to think she could manipulate me using my deceased mother.
I pushed away her hand with sudden force. My voice rang out clear and final across the dining hall.
“I will never have children with Theodore again.”
Eleonora and Isadora stared at me in shock. The entire room fell silent.
Eleonora maintained her composure, though her smile was strained. “Olivia, dear, having only Leo would be lonely for him.”
“The pack’s future would be too much burden for one heir,” she argued gently.
I calmly met her gaze, “Are you certain that Theodore only has Leo as his child?”
