“This is not nothing,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper now.
But he only frowned.
“You’re being overly sensitive,” he said flatly. “And childish.”
Each word landed like a blow.
“Nonsensical.”
Stephanie’s POV
The door to my room opened without warning.
I didn’t need to look up to know who it was.
Only one person entered my space like he owned not just the room, but the air I breathed inside it.
Alpha Cain.
I sat quietly by the window, my hands resting on my lap, my thoughts still lingering from everything that had happened earlier. The humiliation. The way he dismissed me in front of everyone. The way he chose her—again.
“Luna.”
His voice was calm. Almost casual. As if yesterday had been nothing more than a minor inconvenience.
I turned my head slightly to face him.
“Yes?”
He walked further into the room, his posture relaxed, his expression unreadable. There was no guilt. No hesitation. Nothing that suggested he had done anything wrong.
“Faye will be staying here for a while,” he said.
The words landed softly, but they echoed loudly in my mind.
“…Here?” I repeated.
