Chapter 12 " Who wouldn't want a perfect Luna like Aurora ? " Kane casually remarked . Then , turning to me , he added with that infuriating smirk , " Once you become Luna , our packs will have plenty of business to discuss . " I watched as Giana's face crumpled , tears welling in her eyes before she burst into sobs . Without a word , she turned and ran off , her blonde hair streaming behind her . Raymond's expression darkened instantly . He shot Kane a furious glance before immediately chasing after her , not even sparing me a backward glance . The way he prioritized her over everything else brought a familiar ache to my chest . I shot Kane a lethal glare . " You're just adding fuel to the fire - you love watching chaos , don't you ? " Kane's lips curved into that infuriating smirk I'd grown to detest . Standing there with his perfectly tailored suit and calculating eyes , he looked every bit the predator he was . " And you love playing the saint , " he countered , his voice silky with amusement . " But let's be real- Raymond will never appreciate your kindness . I actually helped you , and you don't even see it . " The worst part was that deep down , I knew he was right . No matter what I did for Raymond , he would always choose Giana . Still , I wasn't about to give Kane the satisfaction of knowing he'd struck a nerve . " This is between me and Raymond , " I said , my voice sharp enough to cut glass .

" Because from where I'm standing , you could use someone in your corner . " " And that someone is you ? " I scoffed , taking a step back . " Please . " Our argument escalated , tension crackling between us like electricity before a storm . I could feel the eyes of passing pack members on us , but I was too angry to care about appearances . " At least I'm honest about who I am , " Kane said , his eyes suddenly serious . " Can you say the same about your precious Raymond ? Or yourself , for that matter ? " ( 1 " What's that supposed to mean ? " I demanded , hating how his words seemed to cut straight through my defenses . " It means you're living in a fantasy , Aurora . Playing the perfect fiancée to a man who runs after another woman right in front of you . At least I don't pretend to be something I'm not . " I opened my mouth to retort when Kane's phone rang .
