Chapter 234
I had to put my faith in Julian.
He wouldn’t keep me in the dark again.
He wouldn’t betray me.
Julian’s POV
With Mom dozing again, Becky returned out into the waiting room and seemed to be trying to worm her way into my family’s good graces in the same way she had convinced my mom. Already she had made Uncle Peter laugh, had traded makeup tips with Penny, and I swear she was flirting with Tony.
The more I watched, the more my anger stewed inside of me until I just couldn’t stand it anymore.
Walking over to her, I said, “You can leave now, Becky. Go, and don’t bother coming back p>
“ Julian, that’s rude,” Aunt Kathy said.
I didn’t care if it was. I never should have let this ruse go on for as long as it had. I should have put my
foot down from the start, even if it did make Mom upset.
“She’s been doing a good job,” Tony said. “Mom’s happy. Why not let her stay? ”
“Because I am done with it,” I said. “Olivia tried to murder my wife. She orchestrated an attack on my
child. Looking at her, even an impersonator, makes me sick to my stomach. Telling my dying that she is
my wife is even worse p>
“But, Julian –” Uncle Peter tried to say more but I wouldn’t let him.
“I am the Alpha of this pack, and I have made my decision,” I said firmly. I didn’t like playing the Alpha card with my own family, but they seemed incapable of listening, of respecting me. So I was done with it.
It disgusted me to even be in the same room with this and people who agreed with it, so I turned, left the
As I entered, she woke from her dozing and smiled at me somewhat dreamily.
“I love her,” she said. “Olivia is the perfect choice for me p>
I couldn’t stand it anymore. I loved my mother, I didn’t want to hurt her, but I couldn’t have her believe
this lie for a minute more.
Olivia wasn’t the perfect choice for me. Amber was. And it was time my mother knew that.
“Mom, that woman wasn’t my wife p>
Mom blinked. “What are you talking about? That was Olivia p>

“ I’m telling you that Olivia isn’t my wife p>
She laughed a little, but it seemed nervous. “What are you talking about? ”
“Do you remember Healer Amber? ” I asked.
Mom’s heart monitor started beating faster. “I’ll ask you not to say that name around me. ”
“I’m sorry, Mom, but I can’t do that. I’m sorry I allowed this farce to go on so long. But the truth is Olivia is not my wife. Amber is. And we have a child p>
Her heart beat dangerously fast now.
“You don’t mean that.” Her face was going pale. “Olivia is your wife p>
“Amber is my wife, Mom. She’s a good woman and a great mom. If I could bring her here… If you could
meet her p>
“M–meet her? ” Mom went from very pale to deep red in the face in a flash. “That vile seductress tried to snare you from the start! She only wants your money! Your power! What were you thinking? How could you pick that little bitch p>
My eyes went wide, hearing my mom talk about Amber that way.
Just as I opened my mouth to counter her words, an alarm in the room sounded.
Mom’s eyes rolled into the back of her head and she started to spasm p>
The nurses and doctors flooded into the room, and I was pushed out of it.
My family were all standing now, some of them moving closer.
“What the hell happen
