Noah growled almost imperceptibly,
“Your ex–wife,” he countered.

Drake’s hands curled into fists. The muscles in his arms tightened, and his jaw clenched. I could tell that it was taking everything in him to not spring at Noah and tear him apart just for the reminder.
When I looked over at Noah, I saw that his body language was mirroring Drake’s. Their eyes never left each other. If I had not been standing between them, I truly believed that the two alphas would have launched at each other to prove their dominance.
After a minute of this silent showdown, Drake lifted his chin defiantly, keeping his eyes on Noah’s.
“You know, you’re a very greedy man, Noah,” he said matter–of–factly.
Noah arched a brow.
“And how would you figure that?” he asked.
“Here you have such a beautiful Luna- Drake gestured toward me- “and yet you’re still trying to get involved with other men’s wives.”
“Ex–wife,” Noah reiterated, “and I wouldn’t be giving anyone lectures on how to conduct their personal lives if I were you. Given the life that you lead-”
“The life that I lead is none of your business,” Drake snapped. “What you do with Zoe, the mother of my son, is my business.”
“Zoe and I are not doing anything,” Noah countered. “I respect Zoe’s wishes, and I don’t want to see her again.”
I had to suppress rolling my eyes. I might have believed when Zoe said that she didn’t want to ruin my marriage, but I had a hard time believing that Noah did not want to see her. 1
Drake must have sensed my doubt because he turned his attention to me.
“Do you believe that, Luna Hannah?” he asked. “Do you believe that our spouses want nothing to do with each other? Because I’m having a hard time swallowing that with everything that’s been in the press lately.”
I was torn. I knew that I had to still act like Noah’s dutiful wife in front of people like Drake for the sake of the upcoming Lunar Festival, but I did not want to lie about my feelings on this matter, not when it came to someone else who could be affected as much as I could be.
“The media can be deceiving.” I finally settled on saying.
Drake shook his head, as though I had just disappointed him by failing his test.
“Do you all think that I’m really so delusion as to believe-”
“Enough!” Zoe snapped, glaring at Drake. “Enough. I’m leaving, and I’m taking Adam with me.”
I had the feeling that that wasn’t the first time that Zoe had told Drake those exact words.
