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.
