Chapter 92 Hilda’s Warning
Third–Person POV:

Hilda, already completely unhinged with rage, didn’t even realize the call had ended. She kept screaming into the phone. “You absolute bitch!”
How dare she say that to her.
At this point, Hilda had genuinely lost it.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Lillian apart with her bare hands, but all that greeted her was the dark screen of a disconnected call.
When she finally noticed the line had gone dead, Hilda tried calling back–only to find that Lillian had already blocked her number.
“That woman–she just keeps stirring up trouble, over and over again. Can she just not?”
Iris had been quietly listening to the whole exchange.
Watching Hilda practically vibrate with fury, she asked carefully, “So she really did burn down Inkwood Gardens? Where’s she supposed to live now?”
Hilda let out a bitter laugh. “Live? Let her rot on the streets. The Graves Pack doesn’t have any more houses for her to torch.”
Her voice was dripping with venom.
Iris‘ expression darkened too.
She’d already suspected her mother’s penthouse at Harborview Towers was Lillian’s doing- and now Inkwood Gardens going up in flames just confirmed it. No doubt about it anymore.
The nerve of her. Where the hell did she get the audacity…
Iris pressed further. “You really think Julian’s gonna let her sleep on the streets?”
The apartment on Galaxy Road had been completely trashed by Margaret, so there was no way Lillian was moving in there now.
But with Inkwood Gardens gone too…
Would Julian actually cut ties over this?

Iris doubted it.

The Graves Pack had money and influence, Julian wasn’t about to dissolve a mate bond just
because of a burned–down estate.
Hilda’s jaw tightened. “Then what? What’s next? Which property does she expect to light up
after this?”
Inkwood Gardens had been a prime piece of real estate, and Lillian had set it on fire. Did she seriously think she’d ever be welcome in another Graves Pack home again?
No matter how deep the family coffers ran, they couldn’t keep rebuilding houses she’d keep burning.
Iris watched Hilda silently.
Then something clicked in Hilda’s mind. “Finn.”
The name alone made her stomach drop.
It wasn’t impossible. Finn had been helping Lillian a lot lately.
Back when Julian couldn’t track her down, Finn might have been the one hiding her.
The thought that Lillian might have been involved with Finn before her mate bond was even dissolved sent a fresh wave of rage through Hilda. Her face went pale.
Iris caught the shift in Hilda’s expression. “You need to lock that down with Finn. Soon.”
Knowing the Graves Pack had been angling for an alliance with the Livingstons through marriage, and fully aware of Hilda’s feelings for Finn, Iris‘ reminder was gentle but pointed.
Right. Finn. How had they almost forgotten about him?
First Lillian sinks her claws into Julian, and now, before the bond’s even broken, she’s cozying up to Finn too.
And all that confidence behind the chaos she’d been causing lately? That could easily be coming from Finn.
Looking at it that way…
They couldn’t let her have Finn too.
Without him, and with things between her and Julian as fractured as they were–what would

Hilda had already reached the same conclusion. Her voice was ice. “Eleanor already sent Mrs. Blake to the Livingston Pack to start the discussions.”
Just wait. Once she and Finn were officially mated, she’d make Lillian pay.
Lillian had already made it back to Starfall Mountain.
She was sitting in the kitchen, drinking the soup the housekeeper had prepared, when her phone rang–Julian’s name flashing on the screen.
Knowing how much blood she’d lost, George had made sure she wasn’t served anything that might aggravate her condition. There was a nutritionist on staff now, someone George had personally arranged to help her recover. And Edmund had been firm–she wasn’t to leave Starfall Mountain until she was healed.
When Julian’s call came through, his voice was tight, strained. “Where are you?”
He was standing in what used to be the front yard of Inkwood Gardens.
The fire had been massive.
It had taken the fire department a good fifteen minutes to get it under control after they arrived.
The villa was charred black, gutted. It wasn’t a complete skeleton like Harborview Towers, but it was absolutely uninhabitable. The whole structure would need to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch.
Standing there in the cold wind, Julian felt a pulsing ache behind his temples.
Lillian took a slow sip of her soup. Instead of answering his question directly, she said, “I had the mate bond dissolution papers sent over to the pack’s offices. You just need to sign them.”
“I already told you–I’m not signing anything.”
His voice got harder.
