| spun around and looked up, my breath catching in my throat when | saw the man in front of
me.
“Truman? What are you doing here?”
Truman’s powerful Alpha presence was so overwhelming that | could barely breathe.
He glared atcoldly. “If | weren't here, you'd have hurt Hayley, wouldn't you?”
He gripped my wrist tightly, then shovedhard, sendingcrashing to the floor.
| was no match for him. | hit the ground with a cry of pain, and even my wolf was too scared to
move.
Truman pulled out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, then walked over to Hayley’s side.
To my shock, he spoke to Hayley-the lowly Omega-with surprising gentleness. “Are alright?”

Hayley’s POV:
“No,” | answered Truman bluntly, not bothering to hide my annoyance.
He raised one eyebrow, puzzled. “Oh?”
“You showed up too soon. Now | look weak.” | rolled my eyes at him.
Truman chuckled softly. “Guess my timing was off.”
“Definitely.” | shrugged.
The silver needles | brought today were soaked in a special trance-inducing solution.
Against someone like Celine, | didn’t even need Hera’s help-they were more than enough.
As we talked, Celine stared at Truman, clearly afraid.
“That's not true, Mr. White!” she cried, scrambling to her feet and pointing at me. “This woman setup! She
made Freya wear red just to provoke my dad, and she almost killed him! She's evil! Don’t let her fool you!”

“Set you up?” | looked at her coolly, my voice sharp. “If | wanted your father dead, why would | go to all this
trouble to save him?
“And, Ms. Walton, don’t forget-who brought that dress here?”
| gave her a slow, cold smile and locked eyes with her. “Actually, I'm curious. What kind of grudge do you have
against your father that you'd try to humiliate him in the worst way possible?
“Everyone knows Mr. Walton can’t stand the color red because of his late wife's affair. Back then, he was so
angry about her cheating that it ruined his health.
“And now you're trying to push him over the edge again. Maybe you and your mother are in this together-
coming to the Waltons just to finish him off?”
“You're lying!” Celine shouted, her wolf fangs bared, her voice rising in fury. “He’s my dad! What good would it
doif he died?”
“Exactly. If you're willing to go this far for nothing, what would you do if there were something to gain? Maybe
you'd be the first to put a knife to his throat.” | sneered.
“What you tried just now was as good as killing him. If you'd stopped me, you'd have gotten everything you
wanted-the entire Walton fortune.”
“You're disgusting! The Waltons only have one daughter-me! The money's already mine. Why would | need to kill
my own dad for it?”
Veins popped on Celine’s forehead as she glared at me. “Hayley, don’t think | don’t know what you're doing-you
just want to ruin my reputation in front of Mr. White!”
| folded my arms and looked at her calmly. “Whether I ruin you or not, the fact is that I'm the hero who saved
your father, and you're the ungrateful daughter in everyone's eyes.”
“Celine, is this how you wanted things to turn out?”
Celine stood frozen, panic flashing across her face, before she dropped her gaze.
Then she started muttering like she’d lost her mind, “Yeah, that’s how it started... but somehow, I’m the one who
keeps losing!”
“My dad’s stuck in bed, and now my reputation is ruined, too!”
“How did it end up like this?”
Suddenly, she looked atin terror, her voice trembling. “What did you do to me?”
| smiled faintly and spoke in a calm voice. “You saw it all yourself, didn’t you? You invitedto
