Chapter 41
Kane’s eyes darkened with dangerous intensity. “Dh? I’d like to hear your reasoning ”
Rowan leaned casually against the car door, his confidence unshaken by Kane’s Alpha pressure. “After all, she was Prof. Morrison’s favorite student. As her mentor’s colleagur and friend, don’t 1 have a responsibility to look mit for her welfare?”
Kane’s expression grew even more threatening. “I hope you have the capability to hack up that responsibility.”
Rowan’s smule faded.
Without waiting for Rovan’s response, Kane forcibly guided Aria mwny.
Aria struggled against his grip but couldn’t break free from his strength. Only when he pulled her to his car did she finally wrench her arm back
She turned to face him with eyes blazing with fury. “Kane, is this about getting justice for your precious Seraphina? Fine! What’s your next move? Hand me over to the prison? What’s my supposed crime–petty theft? Do you want me locked up so you and your saintly Seraphina can finally be together without any complications?”
“If that’s your plan, then we should finalize our bond severance immediately, so that you won’t be embarrassed by having people say you have a mate who steals and hes”
Tinished?”
Kane pushed her against the car door.
She turned her face away, refusing to look at him directly.
Kane pinched her chin, forcing her to meet his penetrating gaze. He studied her pale, delicate face with a slight frown. “Who said anything about prison involvement? Stop putting words in my mouth.”
Aria sneered batterly. “So you want me to apologize to her instead?”
He had always demanded her submission before.
“You slapped her.”
“So what?” Aria’s smile disappeared as she looked at him with cold defiance. “Are you going to strike me in retaliation for her sake?”
Kane’s gaze lucked onto hers with intense focus.
They had been bonded for six years,
s, and he was only now discovering that she could be so stubborn and fierce when pushed to her limits.
He found this spirited resistance more intriguing than her previous compliance.
“Didn’t realize you had such sharp claws.”
Aria froze at his words. What did he mean by
Was she supposed to be a pushover?
So he had always seen her as easy to manipulate and control, right!
Kane released his grip on her and loosened his tie. “Consider this matter closed. Don’t bring it up again in the future, and don’t provoke Seraphina anymore.”
