β and you have yet to proof me wrong about anything, hana moon,β the alpha retorts with a huff, his own icy gaze unwavering. itβs not easy to remain cool and collective when the other could easily ruin his relationship with jovi at any given moment. worst of all, ice was the one who had given the she-wolf the ammonition, and given her no reason whatsoever to keep her mouth shut. regardless, it was going to come out at some point, and if jovi couldnβt respect his decision, then maybe they just really arenβt meant to be.Β β go ahead, tell him whatever you want. iβm not playing this game with you, or with jovi.β not even the wichayanee heir knows whether or not he means that, or is just bluffing. regardless, he feels like the outcome of this conversation is inevitable. hana has been waiting for this moment, and isnβt simply going to let this slip away from her.Β β maybe he will run away from me, but he certainly wonβt be running into your arms, if thatβs what youβre hoping for, hana moon. in the end, he will just resent you for your meddling, and ruining the best thing that has ever happened to him.βΒ
βThe only one playing games here is you, Wichayanee, and frankly, youβre setting yourself up to lose. Embarrassingly.β Hana continues. Goading and prodding. Chipping away at the alphaβs cool and collected composure. She wonders how long until it fractures completely. βWhat was your plan? To wait it out until the pup was born? Were you even going to tell him in the first place?β Condescension laces her tone, growing with each question. Thereβs a distinct satisfaction in getting underneath Iceβs skin, and the fact that he had only brought this upon himself was just an added cherry on top. But, beyond that, something strangely protective wells inside of the omega as she steps forward, pushing the boundaries of Iceβs personal space. βYouβre a coward. Iβd rather have Jovi resent me for telling him the truth than lying straight to his face. You claim to be the best thing that ever happened to him, and yet, youβve consistently proven the exact opposite.β
