Chapter 45

When Rita heard that Harper was going to take her place, she shook her head violently. “Harper, no! You can't stay and do this for me! Harper, your real identity is… ”

She blurted out those words without thinking, yet no one bothered to catch the secret within her desperation.

“That's enough!” Ava screeched impatiently. “Harper, neither you nor your mother will leave this place!” She laughed cruelly, the sound echoing throughout the abandoned factory's cold walls. Ava had drugged Harper and Henry's drinks with a love potion beforehand. Once they were in a drug-induced haze and had lost their minds, she would take a photo of the two of them and send it to Wyatt.

That was her master plan. If she couldn't be with Wyatt, Harper wouldn't be with him either.

Ava's mouth curved into a smug smile when suddenly her skin felt like it was on fire. Her body temperature rose, and her wolf growled in her head. The pain was all too much for a moment, making Ava grimace.
