If Darius thought his poor acting skills and lame excuses could make July believe him, he was completely wrong about that. Who the hell did he think he was speaking to?
July had gone through hell, so did Jasmine, they were only in different situations, there was no one from this family who didn't break, bruise or feel spared from feeling like they were going to die at some point in life. They had gone through all of that, and Sol was not an exception either.
Therefore, it was a wrong move for Darius to expect July to buy his bullshit.
"She is the luna of the pack, I am just trying to tell you that she is being treated poorly by the alpha." He tried so hard to make them feel moved. With the power of the McKeltars, they would be able to save Jasmine and ruin that place as well.
