“Watch it, Omega,” one man growled without even looking at me as he nearly slammed into me. I sidestepped out of his way and opened my mouth to say something, but he was already gone.

I turned to see Alexander standing there with a curious expression on his face. Finally. Now was my chance.

“I need to talk to you,” I said without a curtsy or a greeting, storming right up to him.

Alexander looked somewhat taken aback. “About what?”

“About why my name is still on the trial list even though I specifically told you to take me off of it.”

Alexander’s eyebrows went up. “You saw the results?”

“Of course I saw the results. Everyone saw the results. Why did you leave my name on the list when I told you I wasn’t interested?”

“Right.” To my surprise, the tips of his ears reddened faintly. “About that… I forgot.”

I couldn’t believe him. He forgot. He forgot.

Even though I had made it abundantly clear that I wanted no part in this Luna Trial, he had forgotten that I had said anything. Like my words didn’t matter at all.

“Are you serious?” I blurted out.

He simply shrugged. “Life happens.”

My teeth ground together so hard I thought I might crack them. “Well, you can remove it now,” I said curtly. “I already told you I’m not interested in your Luna Trial.”

Alexander studied my face for a moment. I swore I saw the faintest tug of a smile at one corner of his mouth before he said, “Actually, I don’t think I will.”

“Excuse me?”

“Your attitude is indignant and irritating,” Alexander said, gesturing at me. “Which is exactly the kind of quality a Luna needs. You’re not intimidated by authority and you speak your mind.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “I don’t care. I don’t want—”

“I just think you should try making it to the next round of the trial,” Alexander cut me off.

I blinked, completely taken aback. He was ignoring me. Ignoring what I wanted. I had no intention of running in the trial, and the fact that he was insisting I do it anyway just made the bitterness that had been building in my chest for weeks fester even more.

“No. I don’t want to enter your stupid—”

“Alpha King?” Hunter appeared at Alexander’s elbow before I could finish. “Your four o’clock appointment is here.”

Alexander glanced at his watch. “Already? Send them to the conference room. I’ll be right there.” He turned back to me. “Good luck in the trial, Stella.”

And just like that, he walked away before I could say another word, leaving me standing in the hallway with my mouth hanging open.
