watched from the sidelines, my expression impassive.
n my past life, Emily had made the same mistake; I’d used the last of the power to shield Jared, securing a narrow
ictory.
But this time, no one was there to clean up her mess.
My wolf felt a strange satisfaction.
The hunt is over!” the Alpha’s howl echoed.
The victors are…”
ared removed his headgear, his face grim.
His wolf’s scent was sharp with anger.
He glanced at the weeping Emily and stalked away.
She chased after him.
Jared!”
Her wolf’s desperate pleas were almost audible.
Don’t follow me,” Jared replied, his voice cold.
His wolf’s rejection was absolute.
The she–wolf beside me stood, pointing at me.
How did you know Emily’s scout would fail?”
The crowd turned, their attention focused on us.
I maintained my composure; my wolf was amused.
‘Don’t play coy!” she raised her voice.
You predicted it when the scout was snared in the brambles and even mimicked the crash!”
I smirked subtly.
‘Did I?”
My wolf purred, delighting in the chaos.
You clearly did!” she insisted, her agitation rising.

Jared returned, his gaze sharp, fixed on me.
His wolf’s challenge was unmistakable.
“Did you do this? His scent was heavy with accusation.
Jared, don’t blame Isabella,” Emily sobbed, running to his side.
“I know this hunt is important, but you can’t wrongly accuse someone.”
Her wolf’s scent was a mixture of fear and defiance.
“She’s ruthless and malicious! She’d delight in my defeat! She knows how crucial this hunt was, that’s why she sabotaged it!”
The more Jared spoke, the stronger his conviction became.
His wolf was consumed by rage.
Seeing Jared wrongly accuse me, a thrill of satisfaction coursed through Emily.
But she masked it with disbelief.
“Isabella… Isabella wouldn’t do that.
It wouldn’t benefit her!” Her wolf’s attempt to reason was futile.
Jared’s expression darkened.
“She’s always been vicious, hurting others for the sake of it.
Don’t you remember how she hurt you before? She only cares about harming you, regardless of her own gain! Now, to appease Grayson, she’d do it even more!”
His wolf’s accusation was venomous.
I remained prepared; I wouldn’t defend myself like before, avoiding the trap of endless explanations.
My wolf simply observed, waiting for the storm to break.
