Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

(Connor's POV)

When I heard this news, I reacted strongly. I stood up suddenly, my gray eyes wide with shock, and lunged fiercely at Ethan Stone through the reinforced glass barrier.

"Ethan Stone, how dare you curse my daughter!" My wolf snarled beneath my skin, barely contained by the silver-lined cell that weakened my supernatural abilities.

The silver burned against my palms as I pressed them against the glass. My breathing came in ragged gasps as rage consumed me.

Ethan Stone remained unmoved by my rage, his amber eyes cold and distant. Without a word, he showed me the death certificate sent by Dr. Harrison Fletcher through the reinforced glass.

Seeing Emma's name on the official Silvercrest Pack Medical Den document, my struggling stopped. My pupils dilated violently, my lips trembled, and tears quickly welled up in my eyes.

Ethan lowered the document. I pressed my face against the glass, my hands trembling as I tried to read the details.

I saw the name: Emma Frost. Cause of death: multiple organ failure due to kidney rejection and severe infection.

The words blurred before my eyes. My wolf retreated deeper within me, whimpering with disbelief.

I refused to believe it, recalling that Emma had visited me yesterday and called me "Dad" several times through the glass partition. Even though I knew she did it to help Victoria, hearing my biological daughter call me "Dad" filled my heart with joy.

I would give her my life, let alone help Victoria conceal the truth about Victoria's crimes. Now, Ethan was telling me that my daughter, who was alive and well yesterday, had suddenly died of organ failure.

My wolf howled in anguish within me, the sound echoing through the detention center.

I slammed my fists against the reinforced glass, the silver content burning my skin. I glared at Ethan and said, "Alpha Stone, it's all fake, right? The death certificate is a forgery. Emma isn't dead. You're hiding her and lying to me."

I accused him of trying to manipulate me into testifying against Victoria by faking Emma's death, hoping to break my spirit completely. I believed Ethan was trying to exploit my paternal bond, remembering how the Alpha had used Emma as leverage during our previous encounters.

"You think I'm stupid enough to fall for this trick?" I snarled through the glass.

I stared intently at Ethan through the glass, searching for any sign of deception in the Alpha's amber eyes. However, I found nothing on Ethan's face-no guilt, no satisfaction, only cold indifference.
