(Isabelle's POV)

I felt the blood drain from my face as Ethan's cold amber eyes locked onto mine. What had I done? In my ra

at Victoria, I'd blurted out the truth I'd kept hidden for five years.

"Isabelle," Ethan's voice was dangerously quiet, "what do you mean Olivia didn't drug me?"

My hands trembled as I took a step back. The Alpha command in his voice was impossible to resist.

"I... I didn't mean..." I stammered, looking desperately around the room.

Victoria's eyes were wide with panic, silently pleading with me to stop talking. But it was too late. The truth was clawing its way out of me after years of festering inside.

"Tell me everything," Ethan demanded, his voice echoing with Alpha authority. "Now."

Tears spilled down my cheeks, mixing with the wine still dripping from my hair. "It was five years ago, at the Healer's Crystal Competition."

I glanced at Victoria, whose face had gone deathly pale. She knew what I was about to reveal.

Ethan's jaw tightened. "Continue."

I wiped at my tears, smearing wine across my face. "So I switched her drink with something stronger. Much stronger."

"You drugged her?" Ethan's voice was ice cold.

I nodded miserably. "It was just supposed to make her look bad, make her seem unprofessional. When she passed out, I was supposed to take her to a room we'd arranged beforehand."

The memory of that night flooded back, sharp and painful. "But I made a mistake. I took her to the wrong room."
