SONIA.
Maria was a damn bitch.
The thought burned through my mind, sharp and relentless, as I replayed everything I had just witnessed. I still couldn't wrap my head around it—two grown men, Alphas no less, setting aside their pride, their anger, their differences…all for her.
For Maria.
How?
How exactly did she manage to bewitch them to that extent?
I had seen it with my own eyes. The tension, the confrontation, the way things could have easily spiraled out of control, and yet, somehow, it didn't. Instead, they chose to protect her. To shield her. To make it seem like nothing had happened at all.
It irritated me more than I cared to admit.
That moment had been perfect. Absolutely perfect.
A chance to ruin her reputation in front of everyone… to expose her… to make Noah see…how unfit she was to be his. I had been so sure that everything would fall apart right there, that he would have no choice but to end that ridiculous engagement.
But no.
