The Alpha’s Regret Claiming His Luna novel Chapter 46

Chapter 27: Dangerous Accusations–2

After her wounds were treated and she received a painkiller injection, her cries of agony finally subsided. I approached her ward quietly, hesitating at the door when I heard her speaking to Connor.

“Con, my arm is in a cast, I can’t feed myself. Can you feed me, please?” Her voice was coquettish, almost childlike.

I stopped, uncertain whether I should enter. Part of me wanted to turn around and leave, to avoid another confrontation with Vanessa.

“I’ll call a nurse for you,” Connor replied, his tone calm but gentle.

“No, I want you to feed me,” Vanessa whined insistently. “Why won’t you?”

I remained frozen outside the door, feeling like an intruder on their private

conversation.

“Be good, you’re not a child anymore,” Connor said patiently but firmly. “And besides, I already have a fiancée. I’m about to get engaged to Livvy. We should maintain some

boundaries.”

My heart stirred gently at his words. I hadn’t expected Connor to draw such a clear line out of respect for me, especially when Vanessa was injured and vulnerable.

“Even siblings have to avoid suspicion?” Vanessa’s tone abruptly sharpened, rising several octaves with undisguised resentment. “Con, so Olivia Winters is such a petty woman? She hurt me and yet you care more about her feelings than mine?”

I turned away silently, ready to leave. I didn’t have the shamelessness to force myself into a situation where I was clearly unwanted. If Vanessa despised me so much, there

was no point in staying.

Just then, a nurse carrying an IV bag approached, politely asking me to step aside so she could enter the room. The movement caught Connor’s attention, and both he and

Vanessa turned to see me standing in the doorway.

With a soft sigh, I followed the nurse inside.

“What are you doing here?” Vanessa spat, her eyes flashing with undisguised

Almost simultaneously, Connor’s gentle voice sounded, “Livvy, you’re here.”

The nurse busied herself with Vanessa’s IV while I stood awkwardly near the foot of the bed. Vanessa glared at me with venom, as if stabbing me with invisible daggers.

I met her gaze unflinchingly, my voice frosty and sharp when I finally spoke.

“Are you telling people I made that horse bolt and hurt you?”

“Olivia, I can understand if you dislike me, but why would you try to hurt me like that?”

Hidden under the blanket, my uninjured hand clenched into a tight fist. Jealousy scorched through my heart like wildfire.

How could he not side with me immediately? In the past, anyone who bullied me faced his ruthless protection: expulsion from territories, physical confrontations, even permanent injuries for a stalker who harassed me.

Now, supposedly “hurt by Olivia,” lying here with a fractured tailbone and arm in a cast, he still doesn’t blame Olivia first, but instead calmly asks her side.

The unfairness and envy nearly made me explode; I wished desperately to leap up

and tear Olivia apart with my bare hands.
