"I can smell his scent on you," Zevrin said all of a sudden, his eyes on me as he stepped forward. "You—" My lips parted open but Thorne moved to shield me. His hand spread out wide, blocking me as an elder brother he was. " Are you deaf? Or just plain stupid? I said I was the one that killed Zero. Why are you dragging an innocent new moon into this?" Thorne asked. Delora stepped forward, her eyes darting between us. "And why do you always keep on defending her? Is she your mate or am I?" "Delora, it's okay that you hate me. You have bullied me, maltreated me and even insulted me." I whispered softly putting on a pitiful face. "But how can you say I killed Zero? He is a half moon beta and I am a new moon Omega. Does that make sense?" The crowd erupted in a widespread of murmurs.
