"He never mentioned this to me, how could he know? How much does he know?" I whispered, my fingers trembling as I clutched. my phone.

My mind raced through every conversation, every interaction where I might have slipped. I'd been so careful about the kidney donor situation. The doctors involved had been paid handsomely for their silence, and the paperwork had been buried deep in the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den's archives.

My phone chimed again with another message from Connor Blackthorn. The sound sent a jolt of fear through my body. I stared at the illuminated screen, dreading what additional information he might possess.

With a deep breath, I opened the message.

learns everything tomorrow."

My heart pounded against my ribcage. The amount wasn't the issue-I could access that much through my various accounts. But

She'll listen to me. As long as she takes the initiative to follow you, Ethan won't object."

After what felt like an eternity, Connor's reply appeared: "Fine. But don't lie to me again. This is your last chance."
