Chapter 72: Unraveling Truths and Dangers

(Olivia’s POV)

“Jessica Sullivan?” I asked, my amber eyes widening with concern. “Isn’t she locked up in the detention

facility?”

Connor changed into the slippers I kept for him, his ice–blue eyes darkening as he moved closer.

“I’m sorry, Livvy. I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid you’d worry,” he said, his voice low and serious. “A month ago, Jessica Sullivan lied about being pregnant with an Alpha’s child and was kidnapped on the way

to Harbor City Memorial Hospital for a checkup.”

My breath caught in my throat. “Kidnapped? But I thought she was in your custody after she attacked me.”

Connor nodded, his expression grim. “She was. We had her under surveillance at a secure medical facility. She claimed to be pregnant and requested medical attention.”

I sank onto my couch, trying to process this information. “And someone took her during the transfer?”

“Yes,” Connor confirmed, sitting beside me. His large frame made the couch seem smaller, his natural warmth radiating against my side. “My security team tracked her to a criminal compound in another territory.”

“Did she really think claiming pregnancy would help her situation?” I asked, bewildered by Jessica’s desperate

tactics.

Connor’s jaw tightened. “She confessed it was a lie once we found her. She was trying to manipulate the situation, possibly to escape.”

I wrapped my arms around myself, suddenly feeling cold despite the apartment’s comfortable temperature. “What about the kidnappers? Who were they?”

Connor’s expression turned even more serious, his wolf stirring protectively beneath his skin. I could sense it -the subtle shift in his scent, the slight tensing of his muscles.

“That’s what concerns me most,” he admitted. “They weren’t random criminals. They were organized, well–funded, and specifically targeted her.”

“You think they were after you?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Connor nodded slowly. “I believe so. Jessica was just a pawn in their game.”

“And now she’s dead,” I said, the reality of the situation hitting me fully. “She was murdered before you could learn who was behind it all.”

I gasped as the implications sank in, my face paling with shock and horror. Connor moved closer, his arm wrapping around my shoulders. His natural Alpha scent released calming pheromones, enveloping me in a protective cocoon.

“I’m sorry to burden you with this,” he murmured, his lips brushing against my temple. “But you deserve to know the truth. Especially with Ethan trying to manipulate you.”
