Finn stared at Ruby, his expression unreadable, as if he hadn’t expected her to show up and interrupt our conversation.

“Why do you always feel the need to know everything?” he snapped at her, irritation lacing his voice.

Ruby frowned, clearly taken aback. “Why are you treating me like this?, You didn’t even listen to me that night–you just dragged me back here against my will!”

From her words, I could tell that Ruby had wanted to stay with the Iron Crown Pack, but Finn had forced her to return.

“It was my Alpha’s command,” Finn replied flatly.

“And I’m going to be your Alpha’s Luna.”

Her voice was steady, unwavering, as she spoke to Finn.

Hearing her say that unsettled me. I didn’t like it when she called herself my Luna. But why? Wasn’t I the one who had promised her that title years ago?

“Ru-”

“No, Kane!” she cut me off sharply, turning to me with frustration. “You need to tell him who I am to you! He treats me like I’m nothing. He has no respect for me at all!”

She sounded like a child complaining to a parent.

Finn shot her a hard look. Ruby had always thought of him as composed and level–headed. He was my best friend, and she was my girlfriend, so he had always tried to be polite to her.

“Enough,” he warned, his patience running thin. “I’ve got bigger things to worry about right now.”

Tears welled up in Ruby’s eyes as she clung to my arm. “See how he speaks to me? Even in front of you? He’s not even afraid of you!”

Finn rolled his eyes, clearly unimpressed, as if he thought she was putting on a show.

But I knew Ruby wasn’t the type to fake emotions. She was just… sensitive.

I sighed and patted her shoulder. “Don’t cry. He’s just stressed about something.”

“Something? Kane, do you even realize what’s at stake? This could change everything. I’m asking you one last time–are you sure about this?” Finn pressed.

“Yes. I’m sure.”
