~Belinda's POV
Damon's lips curled. "You are swearing on the moon goddess? Don't make me laugh. You are already poisoned by your jealousy."
I flinched as his words struck me. My tears poured harder. "Please, Damon… I would never betray you. Never!"
Rowan's voice cut through, calm but firm. "Brother, enough. You're letting your anger blind you. Belinda is our Luna. We cannot condemn her without proof."
Kael nodded sharply, his tone edged with warning. "Damon, think. Dolph may have acted on his own. You know he owed Belinda his life. It's not impossible he twisted that debt into something reckless."
But Damon's jaw tightened like stone, his voice a snarl. "Do not defend her. Her guard tried to murder Lisa and my child. He would not take a step without her word."
"No." Rowan's tone grew sharper, iron beneath his calm. "You don't know that. Don't throw away reason because of rage. Remember, this child is not yours alone!"
