His eyes narrow, and he stands. He looks much taller now that he’s recovered, and he no longer needs his cane. “Whatever you


    need to say, you can say it in front of my mate.”


    I sigh, straightening my jacket. “Alright, fine,” | say curtly. “Gianna is manipting you. She’s a liar and a cheater, and she''ll be


    your downfall.”


    Gianna’s eyes sh with anger, but she remains silent, letting me speak.


    Ethan''s eyes narrow even further, and he takes a step closer to me. “We''ve been over this, brother,” he says. “You''ve got it all


    twisted.”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    | take a step closer to him as well, lowering my voice to a tone that’s barely above a growl. “Ethan, you''ve only heard her side of


    the story,” | insist. “And you''re refusing to hear what really happened. The ‘cheating’? Gianna orchestrated all of that. She only


    ever wanted to be the Luna, and now she’s using you for that goal.”


    Ethan frowns deeply, the lines in his face turning just a shade darker with the expression. “I believe you''re mistaken, Karl,” he


    hisses. “I know my own mate. She would never do that.”


    | can’t believe how blind he’s being, how easily he’s taking her side. “Ethan, you have to believe me. She’s not who she appears


    to be. | know her better than anyone, and I’ve seen the lengths she''ll go to for power. You’d really side with her so willingly over


    your own brother?”


    Gianna finally speaks up, her voice icy. “Karl, you''re just bitter because things are rocky between you and Abby. You''re trying to


    ruin our rtionship out of jealousy,” she says. “And besides...” She scoffs. “You''re not Ethan’s real brother.”


    | turn to face her, my anger bubbling up. “No one asked you,” | hiss. “And you don’t know the first damn thing about Abby, nor do


    you know the first thing about our family.”


    Ethan steps between us, his face flushed with anger. “That’s enough, Karl,” he says, his voice cold. “I won''t forgive you so easily


    for trying to ruin my rtionship. Leave. Now.”


    | can’t believe what I’m hearing. My own brother, choosing Gianna over me. It’s like he’s under some sort of spell, and | can’t


    break through to him.


    Without another word, | turn on my heel and storm out, ignoring Gianna’s triumphant smirk boring into the side of my head. It’s a


    chilling feeling, and it confirms my worst fears—that my own brother, the man who I’ve looked up to for years, is being blindly


    manipted by a woman he barely knows.
