with his body.

"Shall we get out of here?" he asked softly, his tone inviting.

nodded, unable to resist a final, mocking glance at Aria as I left with Rolin.

He guided me out of the cafe, the scent of roses and the sound of muffled arguments lingering behind us.

As we reached the door, Leo's fury erupted.

"You think you can just flaunt your new man in front of me? How dare you!"

Emma opened the door for us.

"No matter what the Alpha decides, you will always be our Luna in my heart."

Her words were a soothing balm to my wounded spirit, and I thanked her with a heartfelt nod before stepping out with Rolin. Back at the piano shop, Rolin was contemplative.

"I've heard some things about them, but I didn't realize they'd gone so far as to openly provoke you in public." he said casually.

I was slightly embarrassed by the public knowledge of my entangled past.

"Seems like everyone knows our drama."

Rolin frowned.

"It's surprising that someone as remarkable as you was overlooked for someone so... hollow."

His words were oddly comforting, providing a balm to my bruised self-esteem.
