Victor was the first to break the silence. “Look, that pup’s got a mother. Why are you making it your problem?

“She’s not struggling for money. She’s not lacking people to look after her. So why do the need to step in?”

That was what Victor couldn’t wrap his head around the most.

Just because Ethan was gone, Julian had to take on his responsibilities? Iris was the one who

birth to those pups. gave

And Iris was well–connected. Eleanor favored her, and she had a powerful mother backing her.

She didn’t need resources or support–so why did Julian have to be the one to play r

r?

In Victor’s eyes, Julian was blowing this whole thing out of proportion.

He seemed to think that with Ethan dead, he owed it to the pup to step up.

But was this really about the pup?

Couldn’t he see what Iris really wanted from him? Or was he just choosing not to?

If he kept this up, he was going to wreck what he had at home.

Watching Julian drain another glass without a word, Victor leaned in. “What set it off this time?”

Lillian had been stirring up one storm after another lately.

Burning down a house, rallying public opinion–she’d done it all.

She’d gone

head–to–head with Iris, back and forth, just to get that mating bond severed.

Julian shut his eyes briefly. “It’s done. The bond is terminated.”

Victor stared. “What?”

Liam froze beside him. “Terminated? For real?”

Victor couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

So did Liam. He asked, “You actually agreed to end it?”

After all the scenes Lillian had made before, Julian had never given in.

But now…

Victor and Liam exchanged a stunned look.

Then Victor turned back to Julian, voice low. “What did she do this time?”

If all the previous chaos hadn’t broken the bond, something major must have happened now.

What could be worse than burning a house down…?

Julian’s voice was flat. “The girl from the twins. She’s dead.”

Victor and Liam fell completely still.

A cold weight settled in their chests. They glanced at each other, then back at Julian.

Victor spoke carefully, “What are you saying? You think Lillian killed a pup just to break the bond with you?”

As the words left his mouth, Victor’s mind began to spin. This wasn’t just serious–this was catastrophic.

Even as an outsider, he felt his thoughts short–circuit.

This wasn’t some petty feud anymore. This was the world caving in.

Julian took several long swallows from a fresh bottle. “The pup was taken yesterday.”

Victor and Liam went rigid.

How had things gotten this bad? They hadn’t heard a thing.

“I should’ve ended it with her sooner,” Julian said, his words thick with drink and regret.

“I didn’t realize how far she’d go to be free of me. I never thought she’d go this far.”

The pain in his voice was palpable.

Victor held up a hand. “Wait–you really believe Lillian killed the pup? That doesn’t sound

right.”

Lillian and Julian had been mated for years. Their relationship had always been solid.

In Victor’s mind, Lillian wasn’t capable of something like this.

Sure, she hated Iris. She’d even torched Iris‘ mother’s house. But hurting a pup? Never.

Why would she harm an innocent just to force Julian’s hand?

Julian didn’t answer. Instead, he hurled the half–empty bottle in his hand onto the stone steps.

It shattered violently, scattering glass in every direction.

Victor and Liam flinched back.

Seeing Julian’s rage, neither knew what to say for a long moment.

What could they even say? Something this horrific…

But Liam finally murmured, “Lillian… she doesn’t seem like that kind of person. Could there be a misunderstanding?”

Victor nodded slowly. “Yeah, there has to be more to it.”

If he was being honest, he’d believe Iris killed her own child before he’d believe Lillian hurt a

pup.

Hell, maybe the pup was already sick. Maybe Iris knew and used its death to frame Lillian.

That woman was absolutely capable of something that twisted.

Aside from her, there wasn’t a soul in Gilneas City who would stoop that low.
