(Victoria's POV)

I stared at my reflection, carefully covering the bruise where Olivia had slapped me. My wolf purred with satisfaction beneath my

skin. Everything was going exactly as planned.

When my deception about being Ethan's childhood sweetheart was exposed, I feared losing everything. But I had underestimated

Emma's place in his heart.

Even in his rage, Ethan couldn't bear to see Emma suffer. What I thought would be my downfall had unexpectedly become my

lifeline.

I finished my makeup and entered Emma's hospital room. The pack healer Ethan had assigned was checking Emma's vitals.

"You can leave now," I said coldly. "I'll take care of my daughter."

The healer frowned but eventually left. I couldn't risk her speaking to Emma about what was happening between me and Ethan.

I sat on Emma's bed. She tensed as I reached out to stroke her hair. Poor thing had learned to associate my tenderness with pain.

"Emma, darling,” I said softly, "Daddy will be visiting soon."

She nodded, still rigid beneath my touch.

"When he comes, I need you to cry. Tell him that some mean wolves came into our room and attacked us."

Emma's eyes widened. "But that didn't happen, Mommy."

I pinched her arm, hard enough to leave a mark. "It did happen. You just don't remember correctly."

I spent the next twenty minutes coaching her, making her repeat the story until perfect. When she faltered, I'd pinch her again, leaving small bruises to support our fabricated attack.

"Good girl," I praised when she finally recited the story flawlessly. I kissed her forehead. "You're such a smart pup."
