James accepted this with a shrug. "That's alright. Knowing I'm helping someone is enough."
He picked up the pen, his russet-brown wolf at peace with the decision. Just as the pen touched paper, the glass
door swung open
Alpha King Ethan Stone entered, his dominant wolf presence instantly filling the room. Both James and | bristled
with hostility, our wolves instinctively defensive.
"I need to speak with you before any signatures are made," Ethan announced, ignoring our coldness.
James set down the pen, his hazel eyes narrowing. "What do you want, Stone?"
Ethan's amber gaze shifted between us, his expression uncharacteristically vulnerable. "The recipient is Emma
Frost.”
The words hitlike a physical blow, Emma-Victoria's daughter. The girl who had benefited from Lily's suffering.
"I couldn't let you make this sacrifice without knowing who would benefit," Ethan continued, his voice strained.
"Nor could | bear to deceive Olivia again. My wolf couldn't stomach another betrayal of my mate."
James recoiled as if slapped. "Emma Frost?" he repeated, disgust evident in his voice.

His russet-brown wolf hackles raised beneath his skin. With a swift motion, he tore the agreement in half.
"Donate to Emma Frost? Never in this life!" he declared, grabbing my arm and pullingtoward the door.

Ethan reached for me, but | shook him off, my emerald eyes icy with hatred. Emma's fate y snarled beneath my
skin at the reminder of Victoria's cruelty.
Out in the corridor, James leaned against the wall, looking physically ill.
"I almost gave my kidney to that manipulative bitch's daughter," he muttered, running a hand through his dark
hair. "Moon above, what a disaster that would have been."
Despite his dislike for Ethan, James grudgingly admitted, "For once, the Alpha King did the right thing. Victoria
would have used this against you forever."
| nodded, still processing the near miss. "Let's get out of here." (Victoria's POV)
"What do you mean he withdrew?" | demanded, clutching my phone so tightly my knuckles turned white.
The nurse's voice was apologetic. "Mr. Knight has decided not to proceed with the donation after learning the
recipient's identity,"
Panic seized me. Emma was my last bargaining chip, my shield against collapse in pack hierarchy. Without her, |
would lose everything I'd worked for.

| immediately called Ethan, tears streaming down my face. "What have you done?" | sobbed when he answered.
"Why did you te
him the truth?"
Ethan's voice was calm yet resolute. "I told him. But don't worry, I'm searching throughout the Northern
Territories for a
matching donor. | won't let Emma be harmed."
-him.co | wanted to scream at him, to rage against his betrayal, but | knew that would only push him further
away. Instead, | forced
myself to sound composed.
"lI understand,” | said softly. "I'll keep this from Emma for now. She's old enough to understand death, even as a
young wolf."
After hanging up, | wiped away my tears and wheeled myself back to Emma's room. My wolf's movements were
predatory even from my wheelchair as | approached my sleeping daughter.
Looking at her pale face, | felt no pity-only calculation. I gently shook her awake.
"Emma, sweetheart," | cooed, stroking her blonde hair. "Mommy needs you to do something very important."
Emma blinked up at me, instantly alert. "What is it, Mom?"

"I need you to be very brave," | said, my voice honey-sweet. "And | need you to
do exactly as | say, no matter what. Can you do that for me?"
Emma nodded eagerly, desperate for my approval. "As long as it makes you happy, Mom, I'll do anything."
| smiled, leaning closer to whisper my instructions. My wolf silently howled with dark purpose as | set my next
plan in motion.
(Ethan's POV)
| collapsed onto my bed at Moonlight Manor, exhaustion weighing heavily on my shoulders. The day had been a
series of impossible choices, each one tearing at my already fractured soul.
My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin, unable to settle. Images of Emma's pale face alternated with
memories of Lily in her final days. Two innocent pups, both suffering because of adult failures.
The distinctive ringtone of my Alpha Phone cut through the silence. | grabbed it from the nightstand, instantly
alert when | saw Victoria's non the screen
"Ethan," Victoria's voice broke through in panic and desperation. "Cto the Medical Den quickly... Emma is in
critical condition..."
My wolf instantly surged to full alertness, protective instincts overwhelming any lingering doubts as | rushed to
respond to the
crisis.
