‘Your secret,” Erik said calmly. “The lie you fed to Thane Blackridge and all those gentlemen to secure your place among them. You told them the true daughter of Jax and Vala was dead p>
Cora’s eyes widened.
‘But I know the truth, Cora,” Erik continued softly. “The night you were born, when a storm was raging hrough the forest, two female pups came into the world.” His gaze sharpened. “And both of them survived. Until now p>
He leaned a little closer,
‘You’ve already found your parents–an Alpha and Luna, no less. So tell me, why are you still trying so hard to bury the existence of the other child p>
Cora’s hand shot up, a trembling finger pointing straight at his face.
You obsessive freak!” she hissed. “Why would you even dig up something like that? You sick bastard. You’ve always been obsessed with me p>
‘I am,” Erik admitted without a trace of shame.
‘You should’ve known that when I asked you to stay and build a life with me. But instead, you ran away to
roncrest p>
A harsh, barking laugh burst from Cora’s throat.
‘Of course I did,” she sneered. “What kind of idiot would willingly rot in poverty with you and your pathetic parents p>
Erik’s expression darkened.
‘Don’t insult my parents.” His voice lost its earlier warmth, turning cold. “I’m not the same fool I used to be. You’ve humiliated us more than enough. And this time, I’m going to take my revenge p>
He met her gaze without blinking.
“I’m going to tell everyone the truth p>
“Don’t!” The word tore out of Cora before she could stop it.
Panic flashed across her face. This time, she was the one grabbing his wrist.
“Just name your price,” she said quickly. “Tell me whataver you want to keep your mouth shut, I’ll give it to you. Just don’t do this. Please p>
Because if the truth came out, everything she had built would collapse.

Thane would abandon her. His influential friends would turn their backs.
And Lylah would rise even higher while she fell.
“Not much, actually,” Erik said thoughtfully.
His gaze slid over her face.
“Maybe a kiss. Right here.” He tapped his lips with a crooked grin. “And a beautiful mansion in Lunaris. A car. Some gold so my parents can start a business. ”
Cora stared at him as if he had lost his mind.
“You’re insane,” she said, shaking her head. “I don’t have that much… ”
Her fists slowly clenched at her sides.
“I can give you enough gold to live comfortably here for five months,” she said coldly. “But that’s all p>
Her voice sounded calm. But deep inside, another thought was already forming.
She had to eliminate three of them.
As long as they were alive, the threat looming over her would never disappear.
The next morning, the hallway outside the Healing Department was unusually crowded when Cora arrived. Students gathered in clusters, their voices buzzing with excitement. Applause broke out from somewhere ahead, echoing through the stone corridor.
It sounded almost like a celebration.
Cora frowned and stopped a passing student “What’s going on p>
The student blinked at her in surprise.
“Oh, you didn’t hear?” he said. “All the professors just formally expressed their admiration for a student from the Traditional Healing class–Lylah p>
“W–what p>
“Yes, Cora. She deserves it after what she did to help Yorik last time p>
