Chapter 264
Rowan followed her gaze and naturally met Kane’s icy stare.
Between men, there is a kind of “understanding” where no one needs to say anything to know each other, but this understanding does not come from a good place.
Rowan smiled faintly and meaningfully, “Alpha Ravencrest wasn’t at the hospital with your mate?”
Kane stopped in front of him, the wind light and the clouds faint, “How much does Alpha Sterling think you know about me?”
“Let’s call it even.” Rowan stepped closer to him, “At least more than what Alpha Ravencrest knows.”
“Medical sleep clinical trials were your project, right?”
Rowan’s smile at the corner of his mouth faded slightly, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Kane said, with a meaningful expression as he walked past him, “I wonder how much manipulation is mixed in Alpha Sterling’s heart.”
Rowan’s eyes hid an imperceptible sharpness.
Kane stopped in front of Aria and asked, “How did you get discharged?”
“Does it have anything to do with you?”
Aria was about to walk towards Rowan when he grabbed her wrist. She was about to break free when the man forcefully embraced her, imprisoning her in his arms. “Alpha Sterling, can you tell the relationship between her and me?”
She struggled violently, “Kane!”
Kane looked at her with a suppressed temper, “I am your mate, do you want to favor other men?”
Mate…
Aria was suddenly taken aback.
He even admitted their relationship in front of others. Oh, how ridiculous.
Rowan’s face showed no unexpected expression, his gaze swept over Aria, and he smiled, “But no matter how I look at it, it seems like Alpha Ravencrest is forcing her.”
“She was willingly mated with me.”
Kane loosened his grip on her palm, grasped her chin, and his fingertips brushed over the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, caressing it tenderly, “Does it count as coercion?”
Aria brushed away his hand and met his gaze expressionlessly.
In his cold eyes, she seemed saw him looking at her tenderly with a smile.
But she knew it was all fake,
It was just a show in front of Rowan on purpose!
“Sure, I did mated with Alpha Ravencrest of my own freewill,” Aria said, raising her chin and arching an eyebrow with a smile.
“But… If we can bond, we can break it, can’t we?”
