"It wasn't Victoria," Officer Daniel Brooks's voice came through James's Wolf- Linked Cellphone, his tone formal and detached. "It was a rogue wolf named Connor Blackthorn."

My fingers tightened around the phone as I exchanged a skeptical glance with James. His hazel eyes mirrored my disbelief.

"The two were old acquaintances, and the driver owed Blackthorn a favor," the officer continued. "Blackthorn instructed him to

target Mr. Knight."

James shifted uncomfortably in his hospital bed, his jaw clenching at the mention of his attacker's name.

"We also interrogated Blackthorn; he confessed," Officer Brooks added. "Because Mr. Knight changed his mind at the last minute and refused to donate his blood to Emma Frost, Blackthorn developed a hatred for Mr. Knight, seeking revenge.'

My wolf stirred beneath my skin, her emerald eyes narrowing with suspicion. The story sounded rehearsed, too convenient.

"He hired a human to run him down to ensure he would suffer and miss the Crystal Competition," the officer explained. "He stated he wanted Mr. Knight to experience pain."

I remained silent, processing this information while my wolf's instincts screamed that there was more to this story than what we were being told.

After ending the call with Officer Brooks, I set the phone down on James's bedside table. My heart was already filled with

certainty about the truth: behind everything, pulling the strings, was Victoria Frost.

The pack investigation had wrapped the case up with confessions and motives that sounded plausible. But my wolf could sense

the deception.

"It was her," I said quietly, my voice barely above a whisper. "Victoria orchestrated all of this."

James didn't argue. He simply watched me with understanding in his eyes.

I knew the real manipulator was Victoria. To make me suffer and force James to donate his rare blood type to Emma, she would destroy his future without hesitation.

The realization suffocated me with guilt and sorrow, especially as I looked at James's injured hand. My own hands clenched so
