Dimitri's gaze turned serious once more.
"She prefers weak women....ones she can control. The ones she can manipulate."
"Which is why you must win tomorrow's hunt. If you lose, the Empress Dowager might set her eyes on you next. And if that happens... she'll try to make you the Alpha Emperor's concubine."
"Never," Sorayah snapped, her eyes burning with determination. "I won't allow that to happen."
Dimitri's lips curled into a faint smirk as he nodded in approval. "That's the spirit. Anyway, there's something else I need to tell you. After the hunt, I'll reveal the identity of Lily's murderer."
At the mention of Lily's name, Sorayah's heart skipped a beat. Her entire body tensed, and her eyes widened further, disbelief etched across her face.
"Really? You know who did it?" she asked, her voice trembling with anticipation. "Who is it? Just tell me now!"
