“I didn’t sleep with Julian,” I said quickly, before Nathan could talk over me again. It felt imperative to say so now, knowing that even the Luna was out here believing the gossip. “That was a rumor that –”
“Do not lie to my face, Piper,” Nathan snapped. “I am a respected Beta of the King of this land.”
“I’m not lying –”
“The Luna does not include deception among her characteristics,” Nathan continued. “That you are continuing to persist with this blatant lying insults us both.”
He was insulted? How? I was the one being accused of being a liar, and some kind of harlot who was so blasé as to through her conquest in everyone’s face. None of these people know me at all! I would never do something like that! If I had slept with Julian, I would have been discreet.
Like how Nicholas and I
