From Betrayed Luna to Wolf Queen (Lillian) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 The Recording

Third–Person POV:

She had just ended the call with George when her phone rang again–right on cue. It was an unknown number, but judging by the timing, she already knew who it was.

The moment she answered, Iris‘ voice came through, tense and hurried. “I’ll give you the pup. You break the mating bond with Julian.”

A faint, mocking smile touched Lillian’s lips.

What kind of person did that make Iris, really?

After years of plotting against her, now she was willing to use her own pup as a bargaining chip.

The sheer selfishness and cruelty of it turned Lillian’s stomach.

Iris pressed on, “Send someone to pick it up. The address is-”

“No need.”

Lillian cut her off before she could finish.

The sudden refusal caught Iris off guard. “What?”

Lillian’s smile widened. “I said no need. You heard me.”

“Don’t you want out of the bond? Once you have that pup, Julian will have no choice but to sever it. You know how he is–he’d do anything for his brother’s pup.”

“I wouldn’t know the first thing about caring for a newborn,” Lillian replied coolly. “It’s too fragile. What if something happened while it was in my hands?”

“You don’t have to take care of it yourself. I’ll make sure it’s fed. You just need to get Julian to break the bond by morning.”

When Lillian repeated, “No need,” Iris‘ voice edged into panic.

And that panic told Lillian everything she needed to know–something was definitely wrong with the pup.
