Chapter 180: The Alpha’s Final Hours

(Katherine’s POV)

Olivia Winters narrowly escaped danger, a stroke of luck from her werewolf healing abilities. But things weren’t as promising for William Rivers.

The pack doctor’s words echoed in my mind like a death sentence. “Alpha Rivers has been poisoned for

months with a rare wolfsbane derivative. His organs are severely damaged by the silver–laced toxin.”

“There’s no hope for recovery,” the doctor continued, his voice heavy with finality.

Eleanor Rivers, the pack matriarch, swayed on her feet. Her face went ashen as the reality hit her.

“My son,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “My William.”

She collapsed to the floor in a dead faint. The shock of losing her son had overwhelmed even her strong Alpha bloodline constitution.

Two nurses rushed to help Eleanor while I stood frozen. The woman who had raised William, who had guided the Rivers pack for decades, was crumbling before my eyes.

My own heart felt like it was being torn apart. Despite our marital troubles, William was still my mate. The

bond between us, though strained, still existed.

The following day, I visited Vanessa Reed in the detention center. The reinforced glass between us was

designed to contain supernatural prisoners.

Vanessa wore a standard detention uniform, but her violet eyes still held that dangerous gleam. She greeted

me with a mocking smile.

“Well, well. Mrs. Rivers,” she said, emphasizing the formal address. “What an unexpected visit.”

Gone were the days when she called me “Mom,” Our fractured relationship had shattered completely since

her obsessive affections for Connor had surfaced.

“Did you poison William Rivers?” I asked coldly, cutting straight to the point.

Vanessa’s eyes widened in feigned surprise. “Poison? Whatever do you mean?”

“Don’t play innocent with me,” I snapped. “Frederick Warner was the mastermind behind the systematic

poisoning. You were his accomplice.”

Vanessa’s violet eyes gleamed dangerously. She leaned forward against the glass.

“That’s quite an accusation, Mrs. Rivers,” she said with a sweet smile. “Do you have any evidence?”

“Evidence will surface through pack investigation,” I asserted firmly.

Vanessa laughed, a cold sound that sent chills down my spine. “But none exists yet, does it?”

I felt my jaw clench with frustration. She was right, and she knew it.

“Frederick Warner has been apprehended by pack enforcers,” I revealed. “He tried to kill Connor Rivers.”

For the first time, Vanessa’s composure cracked slightly. Alarm flashed across her features.
