Gideon’s POV
I just stared at them truly speechless as Daphne's lips curved into a sweet fake smile which made me cringe.
Justin on the other hand held her in his arms like she was made of delicate glass and gently brushed the strand of her hair from her face then spoke in a protective tone, “Don't worry you are safe now Daphne. You’ll never suffer like this again. You’ll come with me—to my pack. You’ll be Luna there. The Luna you deserve to be.”
My fists clenched. Each word he spoke made blood boil.
The room felt colder all of a sudden, but maybe it was just me trying to contain the storm inside. I was able to see how her eyes shined triumphantly, those were the same eyes which pretended to love me. Now, they were mocking me.
Goddess, how did she do it?
How did she twist everything to her favor with just a few words, a few tears, and a perfectly timed sob?
Daphne slowly looked at me, her face soft with an expression of fake humanity. “Do you see now Alpha Gideon,” she spoke sweetly, “The moon Goddess will never abandon me. Even after everything you did, she gave me another chance—another Alpha who can truly love me.”
Only I can sense the venom in her tone, because to everyone else she sounded innocent.
I started to feel my headache and gently rubbed my temples. “Daphne, you’ve already done enough damage. Don’t make this worse.”
Justin looked at me with a frown and stood in front of her as if to protect her. “That’s enough, Gideon. She is my mate, don't you dare talk to her like that.”
I sighed heavily. The arrogance of young Alphas was always their downfall, and Justin, despite his calm demeanor, was no exception.
