From Betrayed Luna to Wolf Queen (Lillian) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Frame Up

Third–Person POV:

What she truly wanted wasn’t just for Lillian and Julian to sever their mate bond.

She wanted to erase any possibility of reconciliation between them. More than that… she wanted Julian to be the one to send Lillian to prison.

For both of them to give up on each other–completely.

And sending Lillian away would also serve as punishment for stepping into a world she never belonged in.

Edith nodded. “Don’t worry. If anything happens to the pup, they’ll let us know.”

At the phrase “anything happens“, a flicker of pain crossed Iris‘ eyes.

Why did everything have to go wrong?

Her Son’s condition these past few days had already worn her down. And now her daughter too…!

Edith added, “We heard Julian say that if he doesn’t see the pup by tomorrow morning, he’ll go to the police himself. So Lillian’s under pressure right now.”

Hearing “Julian will go to the police himself“, Iris felt a sudden rush of satisfaction cut through her earlier sorrow.

So Julian was finally letting go..

Looks like gambling with the pup this time was the right move.

Julian had already arrived at the hospital.

The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and he stepped out wearing that signature arrogant look.

Thomas followed quietly behind as they made their way toward Iris‘ room.

Everyone was blaming Lillian for the pup’s disappearance.

Chloe was seriously worried. Around eleven at night, she called Lillian, who told her, “Julian said if he doesn’t see the pup by sunrise, he’s calling the cops himself.”

“Is he out of his mind?” Chloe snapped over the phone.

They had lived together all those years.

Was there really not even a shred of trust left between them?

Then again, judging by how Julian was handling all of this… It really seemed like there wasn’t.

If he had any trust in Lillian at all, things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.

When Lillian didn’t respond, Chloe pressed, “So what are you going to do?”

“I’m waiting.”

“Waiting for what?”

“For him to call the police.”

Chloe was speechless. Wait–what?

Just waiting for Julian to turn her in?

In a city like theirs, if Julian reported Lillian to the authorities, the fallout wouldn’t be pretty.

No–but Lillian had Edmund backing her now.

She wouldn’t have been able to handle something like this before.

Now, though… things were different.

Chloe took a slow breath. “Is he really going to do it?”

“I’d like to know that, too. Whether he will or not.”

But he said he would.

Hearing how calm Lillian sounded, Chloe couldn’t help but sigh.

“How did you two even get here?”

She’d always known that in a powerful pack like the Graves Pack, Lillian wouldn’t be able to put up with everything forever.

But she never imagined things between Lillian and Julian would deteriorate this badly on their own.

Lillian replied, “Does it even matter why, at this point?”

Since things had already gone this far, she wasn’t going to waste time dwelling on reasons.

Seeing her so detached actually eased Chloe’s nerves a little.

“You and Julian are really going at it now, aren’t you?”

Before, Lillian had only been targeting the Graves Pack and Iris.

But now Julian had fully sided with the pack and turned against her

Lillian said, “I’ll wait until tomorrow morning. Iris is deciding whether to hand over the pup so I can break the mate bond with Julian.”

“Do you trust her?”

“Of course not.”

Trust Iris?

Not a chance.

Even if Lillian could trust anyone else, she would never trust Iris.

So if Julian really did call the police tomorrow morning, it wasn’t like she was unprepared.

Lillian chatted with Chloe a little longer before hanging up.

The moment the call ended, Edmund called. His voice came through gently, “Wrap things up there and come back to the Western Continent before Father’s birthday.”

“Understood.”

Even if Edmund hadn’t reminded her, Lillian had kept it in mind–she needed to return before her father’s birthday.

Edmund hummed in acknowledgment, then added, “Iris‘ mother reached out to Arthur Neville.”
