The weather was pleasant with bright sunshine streaming through the hospital windows. After Dr. Marcus Thornfield confirmed my wounds were healing well and that I would be discharged in a week, I felt well enough to visit the Silverridge Medical Gardens.

Emma Thompson and I left the hospital building together. The afternoon air was crisp and refreshing after being confined indoors for so long.

As we walked toward the gardens, I spotted a familiar figure near the main entrance. My steps slowed as recognition dawned.

Cassandra Evans stood by the hospital’s information desk, looking lost and distressed. What was she doing

here?

I was surprised to see her at this particular hospital. Given our history and the ongoing legal battle stemming from her online defamation campaign against me, this seemed like an odd place for her to appear.

I recalled that Cassandra had been convicted of defamation and sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for one year. She was currently appealing the case through her lawyers.

What Cassandra didn’t know was that this hospital was owned by Silverridge Holdings under the Winters pack. She had no idea she was on my family’s territory.

Curiosity got the better of me. I decided to approach her and see what brought her here.

As I got closer, I noticed Cassandra’s pale face and red–rimmed eyes. She had clearly been crying recently.

This was a stark contrast to the last time we met. Back then, she had been proudly flaunting her pregnancy with Ethan Grey’s child and her impending mating into the Grey pack.

Now she looked broken and defeated. Her usual confident demeanor had completely vanished.

Cassandra saw me approaching and froze like a deer caught in headlights. Her green–gold eyes widened with

panic.

“Cassandra,” I said with a bright smile, “aren’t you about to mate with Ethan Grey and become the Luna of the Grey pack?”

I tilted my head innocently. “Why haven’t I heard any news about your mating ceremony or upcoming bond ritual? Has the plan changed?”

Knowing that Grey Holdings was failing financially, I had a strong suspicion about why she was really here. The timing was too convenient to be coincidental.

Cassandra’s face flushed with anger. “What’s it to you?” she snapped defensively.

I feigned disappointment, placing a hand over my heart dramatically. “Since we’re acquaintances, I was thinking of giving you two a mating gift when you completed your bond.”

I sighed theatrically. “But it looks like that’s not going to happen. What a pity.”

“You’re being deliberately malicious!” Cassandra accused, her voice rising with frustration.

I smiled sweetly at her. “You’re absolutely right. I am.”

My expression grew more serious as I studied her appearance. “Are you here for an abortion, Cassandra?”

Cassandra’s green–gold eyes widened in shock. She almost blurted out the truth before catching herself.

She couldn’t bear the thought of being laughed at by me. Not when everything in her life was falling apart.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” she retorted quickly. “I’m here for a pregnancy check–up.”

I could see right through her lie. The desperation in her eyes told the real story.

I said nothing in response, simply looking at her belly for a long moment. Then I smiled knowingly and turned

to leave.

Cassandra clenched her fists as she watched me walk away. Her eyes filled with a mixture of resentment and burning anger.

Could it be Katherine Rivers coming to check on my recovery? That seemed unlikely given the formal nature
