I leaned back again and crossed my arms. “You trust Trent to keep his promise?” She gave a small shrug. “Trust isn’t the right word.” “What is the right word then?” “Usefulness,” she said.

he told me coldly. - "I am doing what? That's preposterous! What are you talking about? I am not pursuing anything and I definitely do not want to be Luna. In fact I never wanted to be" I contradicted. - "I do not believe you". - "You know Alpha, that's not my problem. I am not obliged to give explanations about what I do in my life.

I almost laugh because she is really easy to read. "But I cannot give you any because I don't really know anything about that person. I'm just a simple businessman." I can't disclose something like that to you nor anybody. My loyalty stands only for her. "B-businessman?" What? She's taking that? Wow, she's dumber than I thought.

"What if she doesn't?" Chinyere shot back. "It's a fifty-fifty possibility but I'm not taking any chances," Tina said. "I'm done trusting strangers."
