Lucien looked away to hide his amusement.
Enzo's smile became even more dangerous.
"And much more."
His voice turned colder.
"He said you came looking for information about Arabella."
Aurora's expression twisted.
"He claimed he fed you lies and watched you believe every word."
The humiliation burned across her face.
"I was shocked," Enzo continued. "Among all my breeders, I considered you one of the smartest."
His eyes narrowed.
"Yet lately, you keep moving from one mistake to another."
Aurora's nails dug into her palms.
"I simply wanted you to know something."
The king's voice became dangerously calm.
"The rumors stop now."
The room fell silent.
"If I ever hear you spreading lies about Arabella or me again, I won't care where you're from."
His aura exploded throughout the room.
Aurora nearly staggered.
"I will personally behead you."
A chill ran down her spine.
"This is my kingdom."
His golden eyes glowed faintly.
