Chapter 27 : Dangerous Accusations - 1 Chapter 27 : Dangerous Accusations ( Olivia's POV ) followed the rescue team out of Crescent Moon Stables in a daze . My mind kept replaying the horrifying moment when Moonbeam suddenly went wild , throwing Vanessa to the ground . Nothing made sense . The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the grounds as Rebecca and Lily rushed toward me , their faces etched with concern . " Liv ! " Lily grabbed my hand , her fingers squeezing mine tightly . " What happened ? Are you okay ? " I stared at her , still struggling to process the chaos of the past few minutes . My voice sounded hollow even to my own ears . " I don't know either . Just now , Vanessa asked me to teach her to ride . Everything was fine , then suddenly Moonbeam went crazy . Vanessa was thrown off and looks badly hurt . " Rebecca's brow furrowed as she glanced toward the stables where staff members were attempting to calm the still - agitated Moonbeam . " That doesn't make any sense , " she said slowly . " Moonbeam always gets monthly check - ups . The stable hands had her examined again this morning before bringing her out - all indicators were normal . How could she suddenly go mad ? " Lily's grip on my hand tightened , her eyes narrowing with suspicion . " Could it be Vanessa's doing ? I remember she insisted on Alpha Connor teaching her at first , she never liked you . Why would she suddenly want you to teach her ? " The question hung in the air between us . I hadn't considered that possibility , but now that Lily mentioned it , Vanessa's behavior had been strange from the start . Rebecca turned as one of the stable hands approached us . " We've subdued Moonbeam and given her a tranquilizer , " he reported . " We'll do a thorough examination to figure out what triggered her . " THE 1/3 * Chapter 27 Dangerous Ac Rebecca nodded , then turned back to me , placing a gentle hand on my shoulder . " Liv , don't blame yourself . This isn't your fault . " +3 Points Her words were meant to comfort , but they only intensified the confusion swirling inside me . If it wasn't my fault , and it wasn't Moonbeam's natural behavior , then what had happened ? My gaze drifted in the direction where the rescue team had disappeared with Vanessa . I recalled her strange smile just before Moonbeam went wild . That smile hadn't been fearful or nervous - it had been almost … anticipatory . A cold realization washed over me . Had Vanessa orchestrated this entire incident ? But why would she go to such extremes ? Then I remembered Connor's penetrating gaze after the accident - the silent questions in his ice - blue eyes . Understanding dawned with sickening clarity . Vanessa had risked her own safety to create this " accident , " to drive a wedge between Connor and me . We'd only met twice , yet she was willing to endanger herself just to frame me . The thought left me stunned . Vanessa truly was unhinged . ( Vanessa's POV ) The ambulance siren wailed as we sped toward the hospital . I kept my face deathly pale , tears streaming down my cheeks as I clutched Connor's hand with desperate strength . " Con , it hurts so much … " I whimpered , making my voice tremble with pain and fragility . Connor's expression softened as he looked down at me , his ice - blue eyes filled with concern . His large hand gently squeezed mine . " We're almost at the hospital . The doctors will take care of you . " I let my tears fall harder , choking back sobs that made my entire body shake . The pain in my tailbone and arm was excruciating , but it would be worth it if it meant keeping Connor away from that b *** h Olivia .

I was terrified I'd never see 2/3 Chapter 27 Dangerous Ac . you again … " Points I tightened my grip on his hand , letting vulnerability seep into my voice . This was the Connor I knew - protective , caring , my Connor . " Con , did I cause you trouble ? Everyone was having fun , but then this happened because of me . Did I ruin everything ? " ( Connor's POV ) " Don't say that , " I reassured her softly , stroking her hair away from her tear - stained face . Despite my suspicions about the nature of the accident , seeing Vanessa in pain stirred my protective instincts . She had been part of my family since we were children , and old habits died hard . " Just like when you were little , still so clingy . " I could sense that her injury was likely self - inflicted . Vanessa had always been manipulative , willing to hurt herself to get what she wanted . But seeing her tears and obvious pain , I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy . The ambulance pulled up to the emergency entrance , and medical staff rushed to transfer Vanessa onto a gurney . I followed closely , my mind divided between concern for my foster sister and thoughts of Olivia . ( Olivia's POV ) By the time I arrived at the hospital , Vanessa had already undergone a series of examinations . The doctor informed us that her injuries , while painful , weren't life - threatening : a stable fracture of her tailbone , soft tissue damage , a slightly dislocated elbow , and multiple abrasions . Thankfully , there was no internal bleeding . Comments Watch Ads ( 0/20 ) > Vote 259
