Kane drove everyone out , leaving himself alone in the room . He sat on the floor , clutching the torn remains of the dress . Around his neck hung a necklace made from a ring that once belonged to Aria , strung delicately on a piece of string . These were the last remnants of Aria's presence . With them , it almost felt like she was still by his side . Suddenly , Aria's phone , which he had kept in his pocket , vibrated . He opened it , and to his disbelief , there was a message from Julia .. " Aria , so what if today is your mate ceremony ? Do you believe I can't make Kane leave with just one word ? " " Don't think that becoming Luna means anything . I'm carrying Kane's son , after all . Tell me , what's more important - your mate ceremony or his child ? " " Last night , he was lying with his cheek on my belly , wishing for the baby to arrive . He can't wait to be a father . Honestly , I think your position as Luna won't last long . " Attached was a photo of Kane resting his head gently against her belly . Scrolling up , Kane was met with a slew of messages Julia had been sending to Aria over time . " I'm pregnant . " " Kane and I have been together for a year now . " " You really are a failure as an omega ." The messages were interspersed with suggestive photos , countless provocative images , and even a video of Julia dressed in a mate ceremony gown beneath him . Kane remembered how Julia had insisted on having a dress made when she found out about the ceremony . Thinking it was just a harmless request , he had casually instructed the designer to create one for her as well . At that time , Aria had already awakened her heightened perception . Kane shut his eyes as vivid memories of the scene at the dress shop surfaced in his mind . The pain pierced through him like a blade . No wonder Aria had shredded her mate dress into pieces . His gaze returned to the phone screen , gripping the device tightly , his knuckles white . A fiery rage ignited in his eyes . Julia ! He had warned her countless times not to reveal anything to her . Yet , she had blatantly defied him , going behind his back to provoke Aria with these messages . Just then , his own phone began to ring . He answered , and Julia's tearful voice came through . " Kane , my stomach hurts ... Do you think something's wrong with the baby ? Can you come take me to the hospital , please ? " Her tone was soft and fragile , an act so starkly different from the taunts in Aria's messages . Kane's expression turned cold . An icy aura radiated from him . Chapter 13 " Alright . I'm coming right now , " he said . He could hear her voice brighten with a hint of excitement . " Then I'll wait for you at home ! " If she was so eager to see him , he would certainly grant her that wish .
