Kane didn’t bother to lift his head, almost as if he were deliberately avoiding my gaze. Strange-wasn’t he glaring
atjust moments ago?
Since he refused to look at me, | let out a quiet sigh and slid the menu toward him.
“I'm here to take your order, Alpha. Letknow what you'd like.”
Silence.
His lack of response made my fingers curl into fists. He had chere just to get under my skin-I was sure of it.

“You really don’t care what people say about you, do you? Maybe you should check the inteand see the
rumors spreading about you.”
| frowned, irritation bubbling up. “What rumors?”
But just as abruptly as he brought it up, he dismissed it, grabbing the menu and skimming through it as if the
