Chapter 274

(Victoria's POV)

I sank back against the hospital pillows, feeling the silver burn still throbbing in my wrist. The pain was excruciating, but it had

served its purpose. Ethan believed me-for now.

My wolf whimpered beneath my skin, weakened by the silver exposure but still alert. Still calculating. I needed to think clearly despite the fog of pain medication.

The clock was ticking. Connor's threat hung over me like a guillotine blade. If he truly had evidence linking me to Lily's death, my

carefully constructed world would shatter completely.

I glanced at my bandaged wrist, remembering the moment I'd pressed the Silver- Edged Hunting Knife against my skin. The pain had been worth it to see the horror in Ethan's eyes, to hear those precious words: "I believe you."

But how long would that belief last if Connor delivered his evidence?

My wolf snarled at the thought of imprisonment. After years of luxury at Rosewood Haven, surrounded by the finest things, the

thought of confinement was worse than death. The privileges of being the Alpha King's favored female had become my right, my

expectation.
