The Alpha King is unavailable 119
(Victoria's POV)
| adjusted my dark sunglasses and pulled my hood lower over my face as |
watched from my
hidden position near the playground. The disguise was simple but effective-no one at the
Crescent Moon Training Den would recognize me.
My eyes narrowed as | spotted Emma playing alone near the swings. She looked so small, so
vulnerable. Perfect.
I'd already done my part, whispering poisonous words to the Timber Triplets earlier. Those three young wolves
were known troublemakers, and it hadn't taken much to set them against
Emma.
"I heard her mother's just the Alpha's mistress," I'd told them, my voice dripping with false
sympathy. "Poor Emma doesn't even have a real father. Just a half-breed with no place in the
pack."
Now | watched as they approached my daughter, their young faces twisted with cruel intent. My wolf purred with
satisfaction inside me. Everything was going according to plan.
"Hey, half-breed!" the tallest triplet called out to Emma. "Where's your Alpha daddy today? Oh
wait, you don't have one!"
Emma's head snapped up, her small face hardening. "I do have a father!"
The triplets circled her like predators, pushing her until she fell to the ground. Emma's palms scraped against the
rough pavement, but she didn't cry. She remembered my lessons well-I
hated tears.
"Liar!" one of the triplets sneered. "Everyone knows your mom's just the Alpha's W***e!"
| saw Emma's face flush with anger. My daughter might be young, but she had inherited my temper. Her small
wolf stirred beneath her skin, responding to her emotions.

"My father lovesand my mother!" Emma shouted, lunging at the nearest triplet.
| smiled behind my disguise. She was playing her part perfectly, even though she had no idea
she was in a play of my making.
The fight escalated quickly. Emma was brave, but she was outnumbered. The triplets pushed

her down again, harder this time. One of them kicked her in the side, and | heard Emma's
pained gasp.
"Your mother's a home-wrecker!" they taunted. "And you're nothing but a mistake!"

| watched dispassionately as my daughter was beaten. The kick to her spleen was particularly
vicious-exactly what | needed. My wolf's eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
Miss Abigail Parker finally noticed the commotion and rushed over, her face flushed with
alarm.
"Stop this immediately!" she shouted, pulling the triplets away from Emma.
Emma lay curled on the ground, clutching her side. There was dirt on her face and tears in her
eyes, but she still refused to cry openly. I'd trained her well.
“Emma, are you alright?" Miss Parker knelt beside her, her voice gentle.
Emma shook her head, her face contorted with pain.
"I'm calling your mother right away," Miss Parker said, helping Emma to her feet.
That was my cue. | slipped away quickly, discarding my disguise in a nearby trash can before hurrying back to
my car. By the tmy phone rang, | was already driving back toward the
training den, a concerned expression carefully arranged on my face.
"Ms. Frost? This is Miss Parker from Crescent Moon Training Den. There's been an incident involving Emma."
| gasped tically. "What happened? Is she okay?"
"She was attacked by sother pups. She's in the infirmary now."
"I'll be right there!" | exclaimed, injecting just the right amount of panic into my voice.
| ended the call and allowed myself a small, satisfied smile. My wolf purred with contentment. Everything was
going exactly as planned.
When | arrived at the Crescent Moon Training Den, | rushed through the doors, my face a perfect mask of
maternal concern. My wolf projected protective energy as | hurried to the infirmary.
"Emma!" | cried, rushing to embrace my daughter who sat on an examination table.
Emma winced at my touch but didn't pull away. Her eyes were still dry, but her face was pale with pain.

"Ms. Frost," Miss Parker approached me, her expression grave. "I'm so sorry this happened. We've already
disciplined the pups responsible."
Healer Grace Thompson stood nearby, her hands clasped in front of her. "I've examined Emma, but I'm
concerned about the blow to her side. | recommend taking her to the Silvercrest Pack
Medical Den for a more thorough examination."
| nodded, my eyes filling with perfectly timed tears. "Of course. Her father and | won't let this
matter rest, | assure you."
| saw the surprise flicker across Miss Parker's face at my mention of Emma's father. Good. Word would spread
quickly.
"I'll take care of my daughter now," | declared, lifting Emma carefully into my arms.
Emma buried her face against my neck as | carried her out to the car. Once we were alone, she finally let out a
small whimper of pain.
"Mommy, it hurts," she whispered, her small wolf whimpering beneath her skin.
| pulled over to the side of the road, not to comfort her, but to make sure she understood her
role.
"Listen to me, Emma," | said, my voice firm. "Save your tears for your father. When we see Alpha King Ethan
Stone, | want you to cry and tell him everything that happened."

Emma looked atwith confusion. "But you always say crying is for the weak." "Not today," | replied, brushing
her hair back from her face. "Today, | need you to cry. | need you to make your father feel sorry for you. Can you
do that for Mommy?"
Emma nodded slowly, wincing as another wave of pain hit her.
"Good girl," | said, starting the car again. "Remember, our future depends on your performance
today."
My wolf's eyes gleamed with determination as | pulled out my phone and called Ethan.
"Ethan!" | cried, my voice breaking with practiced emotion. "Something terrible has happened
to Emma! She was attacked at the training den!"
"What?" Ethan's voice was sharp with concern. "Is she alright?"
"I don't know," | sobbed. "She's in pain. I'm taking her to the medical den now."
"I'll meet you there," he said immediately. "I'm already at the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den. I'll have Dr. Jonathan
Rivers waiting."

| ended the call, satisfaction coursing through me. Ethan had dropped everything
for Emma.
For us.
As we drove to the medical den, | glanced in the rearview mirror and caught sight
of Olivia
Winters standing near the entrance. Perfect timing. She would witness Ethan's concern for
Emma firsthand.
| watched as Olivia's face paled at the sight of Ethan rushing to meet our car, his expression
frantic with worry. Her wolf seemed to retreat deeper within her as she turned and
walked
