(Victoria's POV)
"Why did Olivia push you down the mountain?" Ethan Stone's grip tightened around my throat, his amber eyes blazing with his wolf's fury. "If you hadn't known Olivia was suffering from severe moon sickness and deliberately used Lily's ashes to trigger her wolf, would she have lost control and pushed you down the mountain?"
His Alpha strength was so overwhelming that I was suffocating, my wolf whimpering pathetically beneath my skin. The air was being crushed from my lungs as his claws pressed against my windpipe.
"This is your retribution, and you still dare to blame Olivia, you are truly courting death!" His voice carried the full weight of an enraged Alpha King.
The feeling of approaching death filled me with terror. I desperately tried to speak, to explain that Olivia was framing me and that Lily's ashes were safely in the Silvercrest Pack Memorial Grounds.
But no words could escape my constricted throat. My vision began to blur as darkness crept in from the edges.
Ethan completely distrusted me, remembering how I had lied in the past when pretending to be Little Orange. His wolf snarled beneath his skin, convinced of my guilt and ready to exact pack justice.
I attempted to defend myself with my eyes, pleading silently for mercy. But Ethan was deaf to my pleas, already condemning me in his heart.
Fueled by the revelation that I had deliberately stolen Lily's moonlight herb treatment, causing the pup's death, Ethan's hatred intensified. His wolf pushed dangerously close to the surface, demanding retribution for the loss of his daughter.
I was helpless against Ethan's increasing force, my grip weakening, tongue protruding, and pupils dilating as I struggled to breathe. The world was fading to black when suddenly Maxwell Chen's voice cut through the haze.
"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.
Emma Frost, banished from pack activities, witnessed Ethan strangling me from afar, her cries unheard and unheeded as her wolf cowered in fear. She had been watching from behind a pillar, too terrified to intervene.
I was dragged to where Emma stood, my expensive shoes lost, designer socks torn, and manicured nails broken. The pain was excruciating, my wolf howling internally from the rough treatment.
The guards dumped me and my wheelchair beside Emma, warning us to stay away from Silvercrest Pack territory. "If either of you steps foot on pack lands again without Alpha Stone's permission, we won't be so gentle," one guard growled, his eyes flashing with werewolf warning.
Emma rushed to my side, tending to my injuries with tears streaming down her young face. "Mommy, are you okay? You're bleeding!"
Ignoring her daughter's concern, I slapped Emma, berating her for being useless. "You couldn't even warn me in time!"
Despite my anger, I realized Emma's usefulness in my current helpless state and decided against further abuse. I coldly demanded to be helped back into my wheelchair.
