(Victoria's POV)

I adjusted my dark sunglasses and pulled my hood lower over my face as I

watched from my

hidden position near the playground. The disguise was simple but effective-no one at the

Crescent Moon Training Den would recognize me.

My eyes narrowed as I spotted Emma playing alone near the swings. She looked so small, so

vulnerable. Perfect.

I'd already done my part, whispering poisonous words to the Timber Triplets earlier. Those three young wolves were known troublemakers, and it hadn't taken much to set them against

Emma.

sympathy. "Poor Emma doesn't even have a real father. Just a half-breed with no place in the

pack."

"My father loves me and my mother!" Emma shouted, lunging at the nearest triplet.

I smiled behind my disguise. She was playing her part perfectly, even though she had no idea
