(Author’s POV)

+25 Points

Faced with Victor’s aggressive questioning, Ethan instinctively cast his gaze toward Amelia Stone, who sat across from him. He was desperately searching her face for a flicker of reaction, perhaps a trace of

the sister he once knew.

In truth, from the moment he set out for the Crimson Moon Pack until Amelia appeared, a violent war had

been raging inside Ethan’s heart.

He was torn by a brutal internal struggle.

Did he really have to cooperate with Victor to testify against his own sister for the sake of an antidote?

In Amelia’s eyes, this would undoubtedly be yet another despicable betrayal, severing whatever thin thread

remained between them.

But the alternative was terrifying.

The memory of that burning pain, as if his very blood were on fire within his veins, made him tremble with genuine fear.

He was petrified that he would lose his only chance to detoxify his body.

Just as he was drowning in his hesitation, he noticed Amelia looking back at him.

Her sapphire eyes held no sympathy, only a glint of cold mockery.

“Why are you looking at me?” she asked, her voice icy and detached. “Victor asked you a question, not

me.”

Amelia’s indifferent attitude felt like a sharp blade piercing Ethan, causing a dull ache in his chest.

She truly did not care about him anymore.

Although he knew deep down that his choice would make their already broken sibling relationship

completely irretrievable, survival instinct took over.

He simply could not endure the torture that made his very soul tremble.

After a fierce psychological battle, Ethan finally gritted his teeth and made his decision.

*He turned his head away from her, addressing the imposing figure at the head of the room.

“Alpha Gideon, Vivian is not lying,” Ethan said, his voice strained. “We have indeed both been poisoned by

Amelia.”

He swallowed hard, trying to steady his nerves.

“This is a **Modified Wolfsbane** toxin. It cannot be detected by modern medical instruments, which is why no one believed me before.”

He took a breath, deciding to gamble everything on the status of the woman beside him.

“But now that **a daughter of the Crimson line** is also a victim, surely you can see the truth.”

When he spoke these words, he didn’t dare look into Amelia’s eyes.

In fact, Amelia couldn’t even be bothered to look at him.

She had long ago given up any hope for him.

She merely sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

“Do you have evidence? Or is this just a lie you and Vivian concocted together to curry favor with the Crimson family?”

Before Ethan could answer, Vivian immediately whipped out her phone with impatient hands.

She rushed to show a video to her grandfather.

“Look at this!” she cried out.

The video recorded her condition **when the burning sensation peaked**.

On the screen, Vivian was thrashing wildly on her bed, screaming in agony, her face twisted in a rictus of

pure suffering.

It was a miserable sight that proved she was absolutely not joking about the pain.

Seeing this, Ethan hesitated for a moment before pulling out his own phone.

He stepped forward eagerly.

“I have a recording too,” he said urgently. “I filmed my own struggle. Although the medical reports show

nothing, the pain is real!”

However, Alpha King Gideon merely glanced at his granddaughter’s phone.

He completely ignored the actions of Ethan, an outsider whose suffering meant nothing to him.

Ethan froze in place, awkwardness washing over him as he silently withdrew his hand.

Confirming that his granddaughter was not acting, Gideon’s majestic gaze turned to Amelia.

His expression was stern as he demanded to know if the poisoning was true.

Vivian didn’t wait for an answer; she wailed loudly.

“I don’t care about assigning blame right now, I just want the cure immediately! Grandfather, if I don’t get the antidote, I will die! That pain feels exactly like a silver knife slicing through my flesh!”

Ethan quickly chimed in, his voice trembling with remembered fear.

“Yes, **when the pain spasms hit**, it is unbearable. Without injecting powerful sedatives, one simply

cannot survive it.”

Seeing Amella prepare to open her mouth to deny it, Theodore gently patted the back of her hand.

He signaled for her to remain quiet; he would handle this.

He turned his head to look at Vivian, the corners of his mouth curving into a meaningful, dangerous smile.

“Since you have both prepared videos as evidence, it is quite a coincidence,” Theodore said smoothly. “I happen to have filmed a video as well.”

At Theodore’s signal, his Beta, Marcus, stepped forward and took out a phone.

He presented the screen directly to Alpha King Gideon.

Amelia raised an eyebrow, quickly guessing the content of the video.

She had to admit that Theodore played this unexpected move beautifully; this cunning wolf had set the trap long ago.

Theodore smiled, adding a final nail to the coffin.

“It seems **Vivian was too careless**”

Hearing these words, the faces of Vivian and Victor Crimson instantly turned pale.

Standing to the side, Ethan Stone felt his heart sink to the bottom of an abyss.

He realized with dread that if this accusation failed, he would not only lose the antidote but had also thoroughly betrayed Amelia once again.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall, Gideon tapped the screen to play the video.

The footage began with Theodore’s calm, steady voice.

He was questioning Vivian, asking if her brother had taken Ronan to the most dangerous “Rogue Lands” to force Theodore into a rescue mission, intending to trap him there to die.

Immediately following was Vivian’s voice denying it.

But then, the video clearly played the sound of Ronan’s angry accusations.

Ronan confirmed that Victor had ordered his men to kidnap him, planning to use him to eliminate Theodore.

Hearing this, Vivian was completely stunned.

She never imagined that the chaotic scene had been secretly recorded by Theodore.

The expressions on Gideon and Victor’s faces became extremely ugly.

Victor had thought his plan was seamless.

He never expected to leave behind such irrefutable evidence.

Now, not only had he failed to help his sister get the antidote, but he had also exposed his own crime of framing Theodore.

The video continued to play, and Vivian’s shrill and arrogant voice echoed through the silent hall.

“So what? Grandfather said these three months are **The Succession Trials**. It is inherently **survival of

the fittest**”

Her voice on the recording dripped with disdain.

“Now that my brother didn’t kill you, do you want to kill me? Theodore, no matter how capable you are, you cannot violate the iron laws of the pack to kill a clan member!”

“If you make a move, you will end up in **The Dungeons**!”

“If you killed some insignificant commoner, it would be fine. Make the body disappear, or Grandfather finds a scapegoat to **cover it up**”

“But I am different! I have my father and brother behind me!”

“But you, Theodore, you have no one behind you. Your mother is dead, and your father and brother wish you were dead!”

“So even if you really died in the Rogue Lands, Grandfather would at most regret losing a promising heir.

No one would avenge you.”

“But I am different. My father and brother would pursue it to the end!”

As the video came to an abrupt end, a deathly silence fell over the hall.
