Chapter 154: Connor’s Decision

(Victoria’s POV)

I sank back against the hospital pillows, feeling the silver burn still throbbing in my wrist. The pain was excruciating, but it had served its purpose. Ethan believed me–for now.

My wolf whimpered beneath my skin, weakened by the silver exposure but still alert. Still calculating. I needed to think clearly despite the fog of pain medication.

The clock was ticking. Connor’s threat hung over me like a guillotine blade. If he truly had evidence linking me to Lily’s death, my carefully constructed world would shatter completely.

I glanced at my bandaged wrist, remembering the moment I’d pressed the Silver–Edged Hunting Knife against my skin. The pain had been worth it to see the horror in Ethan’s eyes, to

hear those precious words: “I believe you.”

But how long would that belief last if Connor delivered his evidence?

My wolf snarled at the thought of imprisonment. After years of luxury at Rosewood Haven, surrounded by the finest things, the thought of confinement was worse than death. The privileges of being the Alpha King’s favored female had become my right, my expectation.

I couldn’t go to jail. I wouldn’t.

Emma sat quietly in the corner of the room, her small hands folded in her lap. My daughter- no, my leverage. Connor would do anything for her. That was his weakness, and I needed to

exploit it now more than ever.

“Emma,” I called softly, making my voice weak and maternal. “Come here, darling.”

She approached cautiously, her eyes wary. Even at her young age, she’d learned to read my moods with frightening accuracy.

“I need you to do something very important for Mommy,” I whispered, gesturing for her to

come closer.

Emma leaned in, her wolf submissively lowering its head beneath her skin. Good. She knew

better than to defy me.

“You’re going to call your father,” I instructed, my voice low and urgent despite my weakened state. “And you’re going to tell him something very specific.”

Emma’s eyes widened. “What should I say, Mommy?”

I reached for my phone on the bedside table, wincing dramatically at the movement. “Tell him

if he gives the evidence to Alpha Stone, you’ll hurt yourself.”

Emma hesitated, her young wolf whimpering with confusion. “But-”

My eyes flashed dangerously. “Make him believe it, pup.”

She flinched at my tone but nodded in submission. I handed her the phone, my fingers brushing against hers.

“Say exactly what I tell you,” I whispered, leaning close to her ear. “Tell him you can’t live without me. That if I go to jail, you’ll follow me one way or another.”

Emma’s hands trembled as she took the phone. I watched her dial Connor’s number, satisfaction curling through me. Connor’s love for Emma was his greatest weakness–and my

salvation.

Just as Emma pressed the call button, movement at the doorway caught my attention.

Connor stood there, his face hardening as he took in the scene before him. How long had he been listening? Panic surged through me, my wolf snarling defensively within.

“What are you doing here?” I demanded, my voice sharper than I intended.

In my agitation, I violently pushed Emma from the chair beside my bed. She fell awkwardly, twisting her ankle as she hit the floor.

Emma yelped in pain, her wolf instinctively curling into a submissive posture. The sound drew Connor’s full attention, his eyes narrowing as he assessed his daughter’s condition.

“Emma was just leaving,” I said quickly, attempting to smooth over the moment. “She tripped, that’s all. Clumsy girl.”

Connor ignored me completely, his focus entirely on our daughter.

(Connor’s POV)

“Emma, come here,” I said softly, kneeling down despite the pain in my ribs.

My wolf surged with protective instincts as I examined her injured ankle. It was already swelling, the skin turning an angry red. The sight of her pain tore at me, strengthening my

resolve against Victoria’s manipulations.

Emma limped toward me, her small face contorted with discomfort. When she reached me, she wrapped her arms around my neck, pressing her body close to mine.

“Please, don’t give the evidence to Alpha Stone,” she whispered, her lips brushing against my cheek in a desperate kiss. “If you do, Mommy says she’ll die.”

My heart broke at the words. Victoria had coached her well, using our daughter as an emotional shield. For ten years, I’d allowed this to continue, telling myself it was better for Emma‘ to have both parents in her life.

I’d been a fool.

“Emma,” I said gently, pulling back to look into her eyes–eyes so like my own. “Your mother is manipulating you. Using you to protect herself.”

Emma’s lower lip trembled. “But she said-”

“I know what she said.” I stroked her hair, my touch gentle. “But adults who truly love you don’t

ask you to hurt yourself or threaten to hurt themselves to get what they want.”

Victoria’s voice cut through the moment, sharp as a blade. “Connor, don’t you dare turn my daughter against me!”

I ignored her, focusing entirely on Emma. “Does your ankle hurt badly?”

Emma nodded, tears welling in her eyes. “It’s okay though. I deserved it for being clumsy.”

The practiced response sent rage coursing through me. How many times had Victoria

conditioned this response? How many “accidents” had Emma endured?

My wolf growled with determination beneath my skin. I knew what I had to do, despite the

cost to my heart.

I stood, lifting Emma carefully in my arms. “I’m taking her to get this ankle examined,” I told

Victoria, my voice leaving no room for argument.

Victoria’s face contorted with fury. “Put her down! She’s fine!”

I turned my back on her, carrying Emma to the door. A nurse in the hallway noticed Emma’s

distress and immediately approached.

“Her ankle needs attention,” I explained. “Could you please take her to pediatrics while I have a

word with her mother?”

The nurse nodded, taking Emma from my arms with practiced care. “Of course, sir. We’ll take

good care of her.”

Once Emma was safely out of earshot, I returned to Victoria’s bedside. Her eyes burned with hatred, all pretense of weakness gone.

“Victoria Frost, listen carefully,” I stated, deliberately using her full name to distance myself emotionally.

I pulled out Blackthorn’s Evidence Phone from my pocket, watching as her eyes widened with horror. Without breaking eye contact, I dialed Olivia Winters‘ number.

“What are you doing?” Victoria hissed, attempting to snatch the phone from my hand.

I stepped back, out of her reach. The call connected, and Olivia’s voice came through the

speaker.

“Hello?”

“Olivia, I’m bringing you the evidence today,” I said clearly, maintaining eye contact with

Victoria as her face contorted with fury.

Her wolf’s rage pheromones filled the room, but I remained unmoved. This was for Emma. For

Lily. For justice.

After ending the call, I turned to Victoria with cold finality. The woman I had loved for a

decade, the mother of my child, the center of my world for so long–now I saw her clearly for

what she was.

“You wouldn’t dare,” she snarled, her fingers clutching the hospital sheets. “After everything

we’ve been through? After everything I’ve given you?”

“Given me?” I laughed bitterly. “You’ve taken everything from me, Victoria. My dignity. My

self–respect. And worst of all, you’ve poisoned our daughter’s mind.”

Victoria’s expression shifted, vulnerability replacing rage. “Connor, please. I love you. I’ve

always loved you.”

The words that once would have melted my resolve now rang hollow. “No, Victoria. You’ve only

ever loved yourself.”

Her mask slipped, revealing the cold calculation beneath. “If you do this, you’ll regret it. I’ll

make sure you never see Emma again.”

“I won’t allow Emma to remain in your care any longer,” I replied, my voice steady despite the

storm of emotions within. “After you’re imprisoned, I’ll take care of her properly.”

Victoria lunged forward, her bandaged wrist forgotten in her fury. “You’re nothing without me!

Nothing!”

I turned away, her words washing over me without effect. The chains that had bound me to

her for so long were finally broken.

With that declaration, I walked out of the hospital ward, heading to retrieve the damning evidence that would finally bring Victoria to justice for Lily’s death.
