Chapter 133: The Alpha’s Reckoning

(Third person’s POV)

The phone rang sharply in the Rivers Pack mansion, cutting through the tense silence that had settled over the household. William Rivers answered on the second ring, his volce carefully controlled.

“Richard,” he said, recognizing the caller immediately

“William, I need answers. Richard Winters‘ voice was tight with barely contained fury. “My daughter has vanished. Her phone is disconnected. She was supposed to pick up a friend at the airport but never showed up.

William’s grip tightened on the phone. “Richard, calm down. What exactly happened?”

“Don’t tell me to calm down!” Richard’s voice exploded through the speaker. “Olivia is missing, and I have reason to believe this is connected to your pack’s illegitimate son.”

The words hit William like a physical blow. Frederick Warner. The name he had tried to bury for over twenty years.

“Frederick?” William’s voice came out as barely a whisper.

“Yes, Frederick Warner, Richard spat. “The bastard you refused to acknowledge. The one who’s been causing trouble for months.”

William felt the blood drain from his face. “Richard, you can’t be certain-”

“I’ve searched everywhere, Richard interrupted, his voice breaking slightly. “Natalie and I have called everyone. No one has seen her. And Connor Rivers seems completely indifferent to her disappearance.”

The accusation stung. William knew Connor was anything but indifferent, but the public facade had to be

maintained.

‘I’ll contact Connor immediately,” William promised. “We’ll find her.”

“You better,” Richard’s voice turned deadly cold. “Because if Frederick Warner has taken my daughter, if this is connected to your family’s dirty secrets, I will sever our pack alliance permanently.”

The threat hung in the air like a blade. William closed his eyes, feeling the weight of decades of mistakes crushing down on him.

“Richard, please. Let me speak with Connor first. We’ll handle this.”

“You have twenty–four hours,” Richard said flatly. “After that, I’m calling in every favor I have. I don’t care what it costs your precious pack reputation.”

The line went dead. William stared at the phone, his hands trembling slightly.

Katherine Rivers looked up from her position on the sofa, her amber eyes filled with concern. She had heard every word of the heated conversation.

“William?” she said softly. “What’s happening with Olivia?”

Before William could answer, his phone rang again. Connor’s name flashed on the screen.

“Connor, William answered immediately.

“Father, Olivia’s been kidnapped.” Connor’s voice was strained, barely controlled. “Frederick hash

William’s worst fears were confirmed. “How do you know?”

“He called me. He wants to meet tomorrow morning at Shadowfall Ruins.” Connor’s voice cracked slightly

“He’s using her to get

“Connor, we need to call the authorities-”

“No!” Connor’s voice exploded through the phone. “Richard said they’ve already called the enforcers. You have to stop them!”

William’s face suddenly darkened. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone.

“What!” Connor’s fingers tightened around his phone on the other end. His voice came sharp through the pack bond. “You can’t call the enforcers. Frederick just contacted me. I was planning to come home and discuss countermeasures with you. If you rashly call the enforcers, Frederick can kill her at any time. Livvy’s life will be in danger!”

The desperation in his son’s voice cut through William like a silver blade. He had never heard Connor sound so broken, so terrified.

“I’ll handle Richard,” William said quickly. “Come home immediately. We need to plan this carefully.”

“I’m already on my way,” Connor replied. “Don’t let anyone else get involved. Frederick is unstable. One wrong

move and…”

He couldn’t finish the sentence. The implications hung heavy between them.

Katherine moved closer to William, her face pale with worry. Through their mate bond, she pressed him for

Information.

*What’s happening with Olivia?” she asked silently.

William looked at his mate, seeing the genuine concern in her eyes. Despite their complicated relationship with the Winters family, Katherine had always been fond of Olivia.

*Frederick has kidnapped her,” he replied through their bond. *Connor is coming home to discuss rescue

plans.*

Katherine’s eyes widened in shock. *But why would Frederick target Olivia? Connor and Olivia completed their mating ceremony. And Connor’s been publicly dating that actress, Layla Lawrence.*

William could feel her confusion through their bond. Katherine didn’t understand the complex web of deception they had woven to protect Olivia.

was to make Frederick think she was no longer important to Connor.”

Katherine’s mind raced with questions, ench one more urgent than the last. Through their mate bond, her thoughts bombarded William like a relentless storm.

Katherine sank back onto the sofa, her fury giving way to grief. Her eyes filled with tears as the weight of the situation crashed over her.
