~Rowan's POV
Kael's hand was still resting on Belinda's hip when my voice cut through the room.
"Kael!" I snapped, sharper than I'd intended. The sound of my own tone made the air feel heavier. "Have you completely forgotten the pack's rule?"
It was like time froze. Kael's lips were still so close to hers that I could almost see the warmth between them. His shoulders stiffened, and his eyes flicked toward me with that familiar flicker of guilt.
Belinda slowly pulled back, confusion written all over her face. "That damn rule?!" she asked, her brows drawing together.
My gaze stayed locked on Kael, but my words were for both of them. "The rule that says no one gets intimate with another until a mate is rejected." My tone came out hard, sharper than I wanted, but I didn't soften it. "You haven't rejected Lisa yet, Kael. Belinda will still be our mate… still be our Luna… but you know it's wrong to do this before then."
The words hung in the air like frost.
