"These two are the ones Alpha Stone despises most—don't be gentle with them." His voice carried the weight of the Alpha's will, removing any doubt about their orders.
With clear orders from the Alpha's Beta, the guards seized Emma by the collar. They dragged her away as she screamed for her father figure, her wolf pup's cries echoing pitifully through the building.
"Daddy! Please! Don't leave me!" Her voice cracked with desperation, but Ethan did not look back.
His wolf had completely severed any protective instincts toward the child who had desecrated his true daughter's grave. The bond that had once seemed unbreakable was now nothing but ash.
Victoria, seeing that Emma's injuries had failed to move Ethan, took matters into her own hands. She pushed her Raven-Trimmed Wheelchair forward with determined strokes.
She was planning to appeal to him for mercy, at least to secure a better place to stay. Her frozen accounts left her with nothing, and she could not accept living in squalor.
She believed herself entitled to the luxury she had enjoyed as his favored companion. Putting on her most pitiful expression, her wolf projected submissive pheromones.
"Ethan, I know you're still angry about Lily, and you want to punish us," she pleaded, her voice carefully modulated to sound broken and repentant.
"But I've already paid a terrible price for Lily's death." She pressed her hands to her paralyzed legs, using her disability to gain sympathy.
She was completely unaware of the murderous look in Ethan's amber eyes as she mentioned Lily's death with such casual dismissal. The temperature in the lobby seemed to drop several degrees.
"Two years ago, Olivia pushed me down the stairs at Silvercrest Pack Medical Den, leaving my legs crippled..." Before she could finish, Ethan's wolf exploded with rage.
He suddenly grabbed her throat, his claws partially extending. His eyes blazed with Alpha fury as his wolf howled for vengeance.
"Victoria Frost, how dare you mention your legs!" he snarled, his voice carrying the full weight of an enraged Alpha King.
The sound caused nearby pack members to instinctively submit to his overwhelming dominance, their wolves cowering beneath the force of his rage.
Chapter 213: Victoria's Reckoning
(Victoria's POV)
"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.
He recalled Ethan's murderous demeanor earlier that day when he'd discovered the truth about Lily's death, his Alpha's wolf barely contained beneath his skin.
My wheelchair crashed into a flower bed, and I fell to the ground, coughing and utterly humiliated. The expensive leather seat cushions were now stained with dirt and my own saliva.
Maxwell ordered the pack security guards to drag me away. "Remove this filth from Alpha Stone's sight immediately."
With Ethan's clear disdain, the guards treated me roughly, dragging me like a rogue wolf, hoping to please their Alpha. Their claws dug into my arms as they hauled me across the concrete.
