(Victoria's POV)

"Why did Olivia push you down the mountain?" Ethan Stone's grip tightened

around my throat, his amber eyes blazing with his wolf's fury. "If you hadn't known

Olivia was suffering from severe moon sickness and deliberately used Lily's ashes

to trigger her wolf, would she have lost control and pushed you down the

mountain?"

His Alpha strength was so overwhelming that I was suffocating, my wolf

whimpering pathetically beneath my skin. The air was being crushed from my

lungs as his claws pressed against my windpipe.

"This is your retribution, and you still dare to blame Olivia, you are truly courting

death!" His voice carried the full weight of an enraged Alpha King.

The feeling of approaching death filled me with terror. I desperately tried to speak,

to explain that Olivia was framing me and that Lily's ashes were safely in the

Silvercrest Pack Memorial Grounds.

But no words could escape my constricted throat. My vision began to blur as

darkness crept in from the edges.

Ethan completely distrusted me, remembering how I had lied in the past when

pretending to be Little Orange. His wolf snarled beneath his skin, convinced of my

guilt and ready to exact pack justice.

I attempted to defend myself with my eyes, pleading silently for mercy. But Ethan

was deaf to my pleas, already condemning me in his heart.

Fueled by the revelation that I had deliberately stolen Lily's moonlight herb

treatment, causing the pup's death, Ethan's hatred intensified. His wolf pushed

dangerously close to the surface, demanding retribution for the loss of his

daughter.

I was helpless against Ethan's increasing force, my grip weakening, tongue

protruding, and pupils dilating as I struggled to breathe. The world was fading to

black when suddenly Maxwell Chen's voice cut through the haze.

"Alpha Stone, killing her would be a crime against pack law and not worth

sacrificing yourself and the pack's future," Maxwell reminded him, his beta wolf

projecting calming pheromones.

Ethan, with immense effort, suppressed his murderous rage and released me. I

collapsed, gasping for air, tears and mucus streaming down my face.

The sweet taste of oxygen flooded my lungs as I coughed violently. Maxwell,

disgusted by my presence, kicked my wheelchair away from Ethan, preventing

further violence.
