Chapter242.

Emily, her voice trembling, quickly explained, then dissolved into a torrent of whimpers.

My wolf snarled, sensing the deceit.

Andrew, his gaze sharp, studied her for a moment before barking out,“Go fetch a healer. I’ll deal with this one. If he stays, Grayson will know.

I must get him out of here!”

“Ah?” Emily’s eyes widened in surprise, then blossomed with wicked glee.

*So reputation matters more than life to him, she thought.

The shift in her demeanor was subtle, almost imperceptible, but my wolf sensed the underlying shift in her heart. Emily readily agreed. “Andrew, don’t worry, I’ll tend to Caleb.”

Andrew, desperate for a quick solution, gave a curt nod and departed with the unconscious he–wolf.

After Andrew’s departure, Emily approached Caleb, crouching beside him.“Caleb, what troubles you? Awaken!”

She shook him gently.

The healer arrived swiftly, carrying Caleb away.

Outside the healing den, Emily’s voice was laced with calculated sorrow.

“Just now, Isabella visited, bringing a he–wolf. He claimed I barred the door, preventing Isabella and my brother’s escape, leading to his demise in the fire…”

Emily’s voice cracked, tears flowing freely.

“Caleb spoke up for me, pulling Isabella away. She was enraged…then….then she shoved Caleb…”

She pointed to marks on her neck.

“It’s my fault. If believing I killed my brother brought her peace…I should’ve confessed. I should’ve taken responsibility. Then Caleb wouldn’t have argued with her and been hurt. It’s all

my

fault…“.

Seeing the marks, hearing her words, a wave of fury washed over me. violence?

*Isabella! She dared to hurt Caleb? He favors her, and she repaid him with

She left him for dead? Where is she? I’ll find her! I’ll make her kneel until Caleb is safe! My wolf howled silently, a surge of protective rage flooding my senses.
