Chapter 25: I Don’t Need Her Pup 

(God’s POV) 

“What did you say?” Olivia’s voice was so faint it was barely audible. 

The test report trembled in Healer Elias’s hands. His beaming smile faltered at Theodore’s cold reaction. 

Isadora stepped forward and took the report with surprise. Her eyes scanned the elevated hormone levels that clearly indicated pregnancy. 

“The numbers don’t lie,” she said slowly. “These hormone levels are definitely consistent with early 

pregnancy.” 

Olivia’s heart pounded violently in her chest, never expecting that what she had desperately tried to 

conceal would be exposed like this. 

But Theodore’s face remained stone cold. No joy. No excitement. Just that terrible, empty stare. 

Isadora’s chest tightened with bitter pain. They had both been betrayed by their partners. But Olivia seemed to be living better because she could tolerate the betrayal. 

While she herself had lost everything. Reputation, status, partner – all gone. 

And now Olivia was pregnant. Another blessing that Isadora would never have. 

The jealousy burned like acid in her throat. 

Olivia looked at Theodore with confusion. “Why are you saying I’m not pregnant when the test clearly 

shows otherwise?” 

Theodore’s expression softened instantly. He reached for her hand with that gentle smile she once loved. 

“My love, the healer made a mistake. You’re not pregnant.” 

Isadora’s eyes widened. “But the data is accurate. These numbers clearly indicate-” 

She caught a glimpse of darkness in her brother’s eyes. A warning that made her blood freeze. 

She immediately fell silent. 

Olivia saw the exchange of glances between the siblings. Theodore was hiding something from her. But what? And why? 

“Isa, you’re not a healer,” Theodore said gently, but his tone carried a subtle scolding. “You shouldn’t talk 

nonsense about medical matters.” 

Then he looked at Olivia with tender eyes. Olivia understood completely. The test results were correct, and Dr. Aris wouldn’t have lied to her about something so important. 

14 

The test results were real, it was Theodore who was lying. 

But why wouldn’t he admit to her pregnancy? Was it because he didn’t look forward to having more pups 

with her at all? 

Just when she thought she had reached the bottom of her disappointment in him, he always managed to break through her limits once again. 

Theodore kissed her forehead softly. “Rest now, my love. I need to speak with Healer Elias about your 

treatment.” 

His expression turned cold the moment he stepped away from her bedside. 

Olivia watched him leave with Healer Elias. The door closed behind them with a soft click. 

“Don’t worry,” Isadora said, moving closer to comfort her. “You’re both still young. There will be more 

chances.” 

Olivia shook her head and smiled sadly. The expression was so heartbreaking that even Isadora felt a pang of guilt. 

“I will never have pups again, Isa.” 

Isadora frowned. “What do you mean? You’re healthy. There’s no reason-” 

“I need to use the restroom,” Olivia interrupted, pushing herself up from the bed. 

But instead of going to the restroom, she walked quietly toward Healer Elias’s office. Her bare feet made no sound on the cold marble floor. 

The door was slightly ajar. Theodore’s ice-cold voice drifted through the gap. 

“Remove this pup.” 

Olivia’s hand flew to her mouth to muffle her gasp. 

“Alpha, I must question this decision,” Healer Elias said carefully. “Your Luna has been trying to conceive for years. This pregnancy is a blessing.” 

Theodore’s laugh was harsh and bitter. “There are plenty of pups in this world. Any she-wolf can give birth.” 

His next words drove through Olivia’s chest like a silver dagger. 

“I don’t need her to have pups. 

The world tilted around her. Olivia gripped the doorframe to keep from falling. 

She understood now. He didn’t want her to bear his pups because he had another woman he preferred. 

Clara. Who had already given him what he truly wanted. 

Olivia bit back her tears and returned to the ward on unsteady legs. She told herself he wasn’t worth her 

grief.

Isadora nodded silently and left without another word. 

Once she was alone in the corridor, she pulled out her phone with shaking hands. 

“Miss Thorne,” she said when the call connected. Her voice was cold and calculating now. 

“I’ve decided to help you seize the Luna position.” 

There was excited breathing on the other end of the line. 

Clum 

Isadora’s lips curved into a cruel smile. “I have a plan. The timing will be particularly perfect. But you have 

to listen to me.” 

She paused for dramatic effect. 

“Right on the anniversary of Olivia’s mother Lyra Blackwood’s death.” 

“And then?” The silence on the other end was expectant. Hungry. 

“Olivia’s pride will force her to sever the mate bond once the adultery is exposed by the media,” Isadora 

continued with malicious satisfaction. 

“Don’t you think the plot of her witnessing her Alpha mate wildly making love with another woman on her 

mother’s death anniversary is exciting enough?”
