Chapter 108

• Hadrian and Kenzo locked eyes, each seemingly trying to gauge the other’s strength. Meanwhile, Kenzo's wolves appeared more than pleased with Selene and the counselor's exit. Their low chuckles and murmured comments lingered in the air long after the door closed behind them. I couldn't help but suspect that the Blue Moon Pack wolves already knew something about Selene before their arrival. It wouldn’t have been surprising if she'd managed to offend every one of them during the ball, but there was an undeniable sense that their disdain for her ran far deeper.
• “The traitorous stench is finally out of the room. The air’s clear again,” Beta Ronan sneered, leaning slightly out from behind Alpha Kenzo. He shot me a wink, catching me off guard.
• With his dark complexion, deep-set brown eyes, thick black brows, and imposing jawline, Ronan looked even more fearsome than Kenzo himself. I flinched at his unexpected playfulness and offered a nervous smile in return. To my surprise, his face split into a grin so boyish it bordered on endearing. I tilted my head, startled. The dangerous aura he'd projected moments before seemed to evaporate, leaving behind an oversized pup beaming at me.
