"You really came all this way just to tell me that the rumor isn't true?" I asked, disbelief lacing my voice.

"Kane, have you lost your mind?"

He let out a heavy sigh, as if shaking off some unseen weight. His head tilted slightly downward as he rubbed the back of his neck, avoiding my gaze.

1 thought you'd misunderstand," he muttered under his breath.

I arched a brow. Something about his demeanor felt... off. There was a tension in

his posture, anoveldrama

hesitation in his words.

"Why would I misunderstand? You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore," I said, a smirk playing on my lips. I have a boyfriend now. Whether someone breaks up or gets back together isn't my concern,"

Grayson's face flashed in my mind. He had been so open about his feelings for me, so unapologetically clear. It was a refreshing change.

I turned my attention back to Kane, who was now staring at me with an intensity that made my skin prickle. His expression darkened, displeasure flickering across his face.

"You shouldn't have chosen him," he stated, his voice low. "He's not good for you."

I scoffed, "Excuse me?"

He took a step toward me, and instinctively, I stepped back. Without hesitation, he crossed the threshold of my home, his eyes scanning the space as if he had every right to be there.

"What the hell, Kane? You can't just walk into my house like some uninvited trespasser."

A smirk tugged at the comer of his lips. "This entire pack is mine, Selene. I don't need an invitation."

He brushed past me, moving deeper into the house. I frowned and quickly turned to follow him.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Where's Alpha Malcolm?"

That made me freeze. My father? What did he want with him now?

I rushed forward, grabbing his wrist to stop him. The moment my fingers touched his skin, my wolf stirred, reacting to the contact in a way I refused to acknowledge.

I yanked Kane to face me, pushing down the unwanted sensation bubbling inside me. "Why do you need to see my dad? Haven't you said enough to him already? You've humiliated him enough-I won't stand for it today."

His eyes flickered to where my hand gripped his wrist.

"Watch your tone," he murmured. "You used to speak differently. This isn't how a Lu-"

He stopped himself, his jaw tightening when he saw my raised brow. Looking away, he muttered, "No

woman should talk like that."

I rolled my eyes. "So, you came here just to argue with me?"

I let go of his wrist, but before I could fully pull away, his fingers wrapped around my hand, stopping me in place.

My breath hitched as his eyes locked onto mine. There was something in his gaze-something unfamiliar, something unsettling. His expression softened in a way I had never seen before. It made me uncomfortable.

"Let go," I murmured.

Instead, he pulled me closer, catching me off guard. My instincts screamed at me to push him away, but then he spoke his voice quiet, almost... tender. It was the tone I had once longed to hear from hím, a softness he had never granted me in the past. Back then, to him, I had been nothing more than an afterthought-a ghost of a presence in his life.

"Selene."

I inhaled sharply, forcing myself to glare up at him. "What now? What new excuse do you have? Just say it and leave."

Then, his next words hit me like a punch to the gut. Words that dragged the past right back to the

surface.

"I did you wrong," he admitted, his voice heavy with something I couldn't quite place. "Throughout our marriage, I let Ruby's lies cloud my judgment. I never saw the truth-I never saw you. And for that, Selene... I'm sorry."
