The Alpha King is unavailable 272

Chapter 272

(Third person's POV)

"You believe me... I really didn't... You know me, how could I be such a vicious person?" Victoria Frost cried, each word laced with

wounded vulnerability.

Her pale face was streaked with tears, her eyes wide and pleading as she looked up at Ethan Stone. The Alpha King's face remained impassive as he carefully wrapped a bandage around her severely burned wrist.

The silver-edged wound smoked slightly, resisting her natural werewolf healing. The injury was serious-potentially life-

threatening if not treated properly.

“Ethan, please..." Victoria whispered, her voice breaking. "You've known me for so long. Would I ever hurt a child?"

She was playing her trump card-their shared history, the special bond she believed they had. As long as he believed her, he wouldn't examine Connor Blackthom's evidence, even if the rogue presented it.

But Ethan remained silent, his amber eyes cold as ice. His hands moved methodically as he secured the bandage, but he offered no reassurance, no immediate trust as he had always done before.

Victoria's heart sank. This wasn't the reaction she was accustomed to receiving from him.

"Say something," she begged, her fingers weakly clutching at his sleeve. "Anything."
