(Victoria's POV)
"Lucas, let's go back to the Healing Den." Olivia's voice was weak, her emerald eyes dull with exhaustion.
I watched her slender frame sag with fatigue. She looked pathetic, like she might collapse at any moment. Good, Let her suffer.
"Alright," Lucas Blackwood replied, his voice gentle as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.noveldrama
My wolf bristled beneath my skin as I watched Olivia lean into him, not resisting his touch. Their closeness was unmistakable as they walked toward the exit together. I glanced at Ethan and saw the jealousy flash across his face.
His amber eyes narrowed, tracking Olivia's every move. He took an instinctive step forward, clearly wanting to follow them, to
pull his Luna back into his arms.
I tugged his wrist sharply, reminding him of my presence. "Ethan," I whimpered, injecting vulnerability into my voice.
He blinked, as if suddenly remembering I was still there in my wheelchair. The momentary spell broken, he looked down at me
with conflicted eyes.
"Ethan, can you help me with the paperwork now?" I asked softly, my wolf projecting vulnerability pheromones that filled the
space between us.
"Mm," he answered, lowering his gaze and pulling his attention away from Olivia's retreating form.
He accompanied the Territory Enforcers to complete the formalities for my release. The moment he disappeared from sight, I wheeled myself after Olivia, my eyes burning with resentment, my wolf bristling beneath my skin.
Outside the police precinct, I spotted Lucas heading for the parking lot. He left Olivia waiting alone at the entrance, clearly not wanting her to walk any further in her fragile state.
Perfect. She was alone.
I glanced at the security cameras mounted above the entrance, calculating their angles. Carefully, I positioned my wheelchair with my back to the surveillance equipment, making sure my actions and words would not be recorded. From this position, I could still monitor the entrance from the corner of my eye, watching for Ethan or anyone else who might interrupt.
"Olivia Winters, you guessed right. It was me," I said coldly, not bothering to turn and look at her directly.
My wolf's eyes gleamed with malice as I finally spoke the truth. "It was me who made Connor Blackthorn spread rumors about you being a rogue's mate, just to agitate your mother. I pushed your mother down the stairs and bribed Edith Barnes to pull out her oxygen tube. I wanted her dead! She deserved it! Just like your little pup deserved to die!"
With each word, my hatred deepened, my wolf snarling beneath my skin. The release of finally speaking these truths aloud was Intoxicating

"Your very existence is a crime against this pack," I spat, my voice dripping with venom. "You and your worthless daughter never belonged here. You stole what should have been mine!"
My fingers tightened on the armrests of my wheelchair. "No one will take my place as Little Orange. No one! Not even you, Olivia Winters, I've worked too hard, sacrificed too much to let you ruin everything now."
I could sense her rage building, her wolf howling beneath her skin. Good. I wanted her to break.
"You should thank me, really," I continued, my voice turning sickeningly sweet. "Your little runt died at five-just a pup, all alone down there in the Moonlight Fair, so pitiful!"
I twisted the knife deeper. "And you, the cowardly Luna, too afraid to die, not even willing to go down and accompany her. So I, as her aunt, had to do something good-send her grandmother down to keep her company!"
I couldn't help the triumphant note that crept into my voice. "Too bad the old woman survived both the fall and the unplugged oxygen tube. She's more resilient than I expected."
(Olivia's POV)
Every word Victoria spoke was like a silver blade slicing through my heart. My wolf raged beneath my skin, clawing to break free and tear this monster apart.
But I noticed the security cameras above us. This was another of Victoria's traps. She was deliberately baiting me, hoping I would attack her and be caught on camera. Then she could play the victim again and have me imprisoned by the Territory Enforcers.
