Silvercrest Pack, on her knees before me."

I swallowed hard, forcing down my pride. "Victoria, I'll do anything. Just don't harm her ashes."

Victoria looked down at me, savoring the moment of triumph. I could see the memory of her own humiliation at this very cemetery burning in her eyes-where I had forced her to kowtow to Lily's grave after discovering she had desecrated it.

"Anything?" Victoria's eyes gleamed with malicious delight. "Then bow to me. Not just kneel. Kowtow. Touch your forehead to the ground."

Moonwood Ceremonial Urn on the ground between us.

"Thank you," I whispered, reaching for it.

Before my fingers could touch the sacred vessel, Victoria deliberately stepped on

it with her designer heel. The sound of cracking wood echoed through the night like a gunshot.

“No!" I screamed, lunging forward.

Victoria pressed harder, the delicate wood splintering under her weight.

"You couldn't protect Lily in life, and you can't protect her in death," Victoria taunted cruelly.

My hands hovered helplessly as she ground her heel against the precious urn. My wolf howled in anguish, the sound trapped in my chest.
