"So you're saying I'm a Sin Beast?"
Aviel's gaze sharpened, cold and imposing. "I am the Lord of Flying Dragon City. Nina was with me that day. Not with any so-called Sin Beasts. You're deliberately slandering her."
Kith scoffed, casting him a sidelong glance. "And I am the Lord of White Tiger City. Nina was with me as well. Do I look like one of your so-called Sin Beasts?"
Finch stepped forward, lips curling in ridicule. "Young Lord of Jade Fox City. Tell me, do I resemble a criminal beast to you?"
Lex lifted his chin. "I, the Lord of Sea Blue City, was there too with Nina…"
He hesitated, about to say more, but Aviel and the others shot him sharp looks.
You're not even officially hers. What are you jumping in for?
Lex swallowed his words, irritation flickering across his face. Fine. Sooner or later, he would be. And what he said wasn't wrong anyway. He had been there.
