"Then you'll have the most powerful Alpha in the world for your daughter."
The words leave my mouth before I can stop them. They sound too smooth, too deliberate, but they're born from desperation. I only want to save him. But the Luna doesn't need to know that. She doesn't need to know that I can't even stand the thought of Reis anywhere near Arieth.
Her gaze is like razors, the more she stares, the more it slices through my defence. "And how am I going to believe that?" she asks, voice calm in that way only ruthless people manage when they're truly furious. "There's no proof. And how do I know this isn't just another one of your little games to keep him under your taming? You've always been desperate for money, Zielle. Maybe this is your way of making sure the coins don't stop coming."
