Leila's POV:
I thought for a moment that maybe she was capable of change. Maybe motherhood had mellowed her, made her human. But now…now it was all coming together. She had fooled us all.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. This wasn't just about the wolfbane or the baby anymore—it was about the fact that once again, Lily had manipulated me, and everyone around her, making me look like the villain while she came out spotless.
But how was I supposed to convince anyone of the truth? If I even dared to suggest that Lily had orchestrated this, it would sound insane. She'd built her reputation so carefully—Nelly, Drake, even the rest of the pack—they all saw her as this loving mother who was trying to move on from her past. The idea that she could be plotting something like this behind the scenes would sound delusional.
