(Victoria's POV)

"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.

"I want 500,000 dollars and Emma. We'll leave Shadow Creek together, and you'll never hear from us again. Otherwise, Ethan

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

Emma? Give up Emma?

She was my most valuable asset, my guarantee of Ethan's continued protection and favor. Without Emma, I would lose my hold

over the Alpha King.

Yet Connor's threat was too dangerous to ignore. If Ethan discovered I had deliberately redirected Lily's kidney donor to Emma,

even his obsession with me wouldn't protect me from his wrath.

I needed to buy time.

"Give me some time," I texted back, my fingers trembling slightly. "I'll talk to Emma and convince her to go with you willingly.

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."
