Chapter 267 : Epilogue Chapter 267 : Epilogue ( Olivia's POV ) +25 Points My mating ceremony had been in preparation for two months , with the date set for the end of October . Two days before the ceremony , I received a call from an unknown number. Recently , while preparing for the mating ceremony , I had been receiving many congratulatory calls every day . Classmates , relatives from the Winters or Silverridge packs , and even relatives from the Rivers pack all wanted to share their joy . So I had grown accustomed to receiving calls from unknown numbers . I answered the phone and greeted cheerfully , " Hello ? Hi . " I expected another well - wisher , but to my surprise , the person on the other end was Ethan Grey . His voice was low and hoarse , tinged with a bitter tone that made my stomach clench . " Olivia , I heard you're getting mated . " Recognizing Ethan Grey's voice , my face immediately turned cold . The warmth drained from my expression as old wounds threatened to reopen . " If you're calling to congratulate me , I'll thank you , " I retorted icily . " But if you're looking for trouble , I have no time for it . " Before I could finish , Ethan interrupted , his voice rising with agitation . " Olivia , listen to me ! Connor Rivers isn't who you think he is ! " He desperately tried to slander Connor , his words tumbling out in a frantic rush . " He's a manipulative schemer who orchestrated everything ! My affairs , even Cassandra Evans ' return to the country - it was all his doing ! " However , I remained unfazed . The accusations rolled off me like water off a duck's back . I coldly dismantled his claims , questioning him logically . " Did someone knock you out , strip you naked , and force you onto a bed with those women ? " When he stammered that it wasn't like that , I pressed on . " Were you drugged ? Threatened at gunpoint ? " With each denial , his voice grew smaller , his guilt palpable . The confident Alpha facade crumbled before my relentless logic . 148 < Chapter 267. Epilogue +25 Points Finally , I let out a cold laugh , my voice filled with fury that had been building for years . " So you accepted those women while you were fully conscious . " My tone sharpened like a blade . " You're a grown Alpha who couldn't control his lower body , and now you're blaming others ? " " Thank you for telling me this ," I continued , my voice dripping with sarcasm . " If it weren't for him , I wouldn't have seen your true scumbag nature so quickly ! " " Ethan Grey , you are the most disgusting and filthiest person . You never see your own problems and always push the blame onto others . " My final words cut through the phone like ice . " A person like you is not worthy of love . " With that , I hung up and blacklisted his number without hesitation . My hands trembled slightly from the adrenaline , but I felt lighter somehow . Just then , Connor Rivers entered the room , having overheard the entire conversation through the open door . His ice - blue eyes searched my face with concern . " Liv , do you blame me ? " he asked , his voice trembling slightly . He was nervous , I could see it in the way his shoulders tensed . Fear flickered across his features as he waited for my response . But I walked up to him , my expression serious . The weight of everything he had done for me settled in my chest . " Connor Rivers , " I said softly , looking into his eyes . " Thank you . " His eyes widened in surprise , clearly not expecting gratitude instead of anger . I thanked him for loving me silently , for helping me see the truth about the scumbag , for waiting for me . " Thank you for choosing me so firmly ." " You've worked hard all these years , " I whispered , my emotions raw and honest . " From now on , you are no longer alone . " " I will always be with you , love you , until the end of my life . " Overwhelmed with emotion , Connor found himself speechless . His throat worked as he struggled to find words . I stood on my tiptoes , wrapped my arms around his neck , and kissed him . His heart melted under my touch , and he held me close . He returned a gentle and lingering kiss that sealed our future together . 2/4 Chapter 267 : Epilogue +25 Points The mating ceremony of the Rivers and Winters packs became the most magnificent event of the year in Riverdale .
