(Ethan’s POV)
I watched the operating room doors close behind James, feeling hollow despite achieving my goal. Victoria immediately wheeled herself to my side, tears streaming down her face.
“Thank you,” she sobbed, throwing herself into my arms. “You saved my Emma. I’ll never forget this.”
Her scent was a mixture of relief and triumph that made my stomach turn. I felt no satisfaction in this victory, not when it came at the cost of Olivia’s pain and betrayal.
My wolf whined uneasily within me. It recognized the wrongness of my actions even as my human side justified them as
necessary.
“Don’t,” I said, pushing Victoria away more roughly than I intended. “This isn’t a moment for celebration.”
I turned away from her questioning gaze and walked to the emergency exit.
The blue–tinged smoke curled around me as I leaned against the wall. What had I become? When had I started making these impossible choices?
My Alpha Phone rang in my pocket, interrupting my dark thoughts. The moment I saw the caller ID, my lifeless amber eyes lit up with sudden urgency.
Without a word to Victoria, who had followed me outside, I hurried away. Her questioning call echoed behind me, but I didn’t look
back.
(Olivia’s POV)
I woke with a gasp, my wolf immediately surging forward to enhance my senses. The pressure point strike had worn off faster
than Ethan expected–my wolf’s healing had accelerated my recovery.
James was gone. The realization hit me like a physical blow.
I ran through the corridors, my wolf lending me speed as I raced toward the surgical wing. My heart pounded painfully in my chest, fear and rage propelling me forward.
When I reached the operating area, I saw Victoria waiting alone outside the room. The red light above the door signaled an ongoing procedure.
I was too late. My legs nearly gave out beneath me as the truth sank in.
Victoria noticed me and wheeled herself over, unable to suppress her triumphant smile. “You’re too late,” she taunted, her voice dripping with satisfaction.
I stared at her, my wolf rising dangerously close to the surface.

“James Knight’s rare blood is already flowing into Emma’s veins,” she continued, relishing my pain. “I deliberately orchestrated
your daughter’s death by redirecting that kidney donor, and now your best friend’s sacrifice benefits my daughter.”
Her words cut deeper than any knife. She leaned forward in her wheelchair, her eyes gleaming with malice.
“Isn’t that just the kind of pain that makes you want to die? The more you suffer, the happier I am!”
Something snapped inside me. With a growl that was more wolf than human, I kicked her wheelchair hard, sending her sprawling
onto the floor.
I stepped over her prone form, determined to find out about James’s condition. My wolf was barely contained beneath my skin,
claws threatening to emerge from my fingertips.
Just then, the operating light went off. Dr. Simon Harper emerged, looking tired but satisfied.
“Is the donor alright?” I demanded, my voice hoarse with emotion. My wolf paced frantically beneath my skin, desperate for
reassurance.
The healer nodded, his expression softening at my obvious distress. “Don’t worry. The procedure was a success–both donor and
recipient are stable.”
Relief flooded through me, but it did nothing to diminish my fury. I turned as Ethan approached, his expression unreadable.
“Olivia, let me explain-” he began, but I cut him off.
My eyes caught sight of a Silver–Edged Hunting Knife on a nearby medical tray. Without thinking, I grabbed it and slashed at
Ethan’s arm.
“Ethan Stone, you monster!” I screamed, watching blood gush from the wound.
He made no move to defend himself or retaliate. He simply stood there, accepting my attack as if he deserved it. His wolf seemed
to recognize my right to express my rage.
I struck again and again, leaving painful but non–fatal wounds across his arms and chest. The silver edge would slow his healing,
making the pain last longer.
I wanted him to suffer as I had suffered. As Lily had suffered. As James was suffering now.
Finally, my arm dropped to my side, my breath coming in ragged gasps. Ethan, ignoring his injuries, looked at me with gentle
amber eyes.
“Have you calmed down? Can you hear me out now?” he asked softly.
I dropped the knife, suddenly exhausted. “Where is James?” I demanded.
Dr. Harper gestured behind him as a hospital bed was wheeled out of the operating room. I rushed forward, desperate to see my
friend.
But it wasn’t James lying there. It was a young female wolf I didn’t recognize.

“Who is this?” I asked, confusion replacing my anger. “Where’s James?”

Ethan answered hoarsely, blood still seeping from his wounds. “I was just about to tell you–Emma didn’t receive James’s kidney.
He’s fine.”
I stood frozen in shock, my wolf momentarily stunned into silence.
But it was Victoria who was struck hardest–she shoved aside the nurse in disbelief, her wolf howling in confusion, unable to
comprehend how everything had changed in an instant.
