The next day was so quiet that I wondered if they were going to hold the final contest or not. It was supposed to be held the next day. But I didn’t see any instructions or people running around to arrange for it. It seemed like a boring day at the resort, and I didn’t even find the contestants. At lunch when I went down to the dining area, I only found Damon eating. He was reading a newspaper.

“Hil” I greeted him, sitting opposite to him at the table.

He jerked his head back. “Laura? How are you?”

“I’m good. How about you?”

“Great!” he smiled, tilting his head.

I lowered my voice and said, “Thanks for helping me yesterday.”

His forehead creased with a frown. “What help? I’m seeing you after a long time.”

Oh, so he wanted to keep it under the wraps. Well, that made it easier. “Ah, just like that,” I played along with him. I glanced around to see if someone was overhearing us. Apart from a few servers, there wasn’t anyone. But I knew that wolves had a keen sense of hearing, so I kept quiet. Last night, I had asked him to send his car to transport Summer to the edge of the Shadowfang territory where my father’s men were waiting.

“Tomorrow is the last day of the trials,” I said excitedly.

“Yes,” he nodded. “And thanks to Summer, you can make a comeback.”

Anger bubbled inside me at the way he mentioned Summer, but I forced a smile: “Yeah! She was here only as a proxy.”

“I hope you win,” he replied and got up.

“Have they announced about tomorrow’s contest?” Lasked.

I would be rich beyond imagination, and help my father to regain his empire. But for that, I knew that we had to keep Summer alive. Or not. “Bitch.” I chuckled
