Seeing Kane felt like encountering a ghost from my past. After everything | had endured this past month, he

remained an unshakable presence in my mind. He made sure | couldn't forget him-whether through the pain of

being separated from my children or the scar he left on my chest. Every memory of him was laced with hurt.

"ou."

Kane's voice was sharp, laced with anger.

| realized he hadn't noticed it wasuntil | turned at the sound of his voice. His eyes bore into me, and I quickly

looked away, bowing my head out of habit.

He was my head Alpha now. | had no choice but to submit to him.

Though I held the rank of Alpha, I'd never had the ambition to lead a pack or conquer others. | didn't crave power

or territory. But the one tI'd fought, I'd done it for my family's sake. Winning had mattered then. Losing,

however, had cost us more than just pride-it had scarred our reputation. Yet, Kane had shown an unusual mercy.

He allowed my family to remain under his protection, living peacefully within his pack.

What baffledmost was his decree that no one in the pack could speak ill of my parents. On the very first day

of his rule, he'd declared that anyone who dared insult them would face him directly. It was a level of respect |

hadn't expected from someone like him.

Despite his cruelty toward me, | couldn't deny he was an exceptional Alpha. The other packs hadn't exaggerated

when they called him a leader who inspired both fear and loyalty. Still, | couldn't help but wonder-why had he

shown my family this kindness? Had Magnus made sdeal with him before surrendering? Or was it just guilt,

a twisted way to compensate for taking my children from me?

"We were just trying to get a ride, Alpha," | said softly, keeping my eyes on the ground.

| didn't dare meet his gaze. If | accidentally angered him, he could make things even harder for me- especially

when it cto seeing my children.

Kane ignored my words, his focus shifting to Grayson. His eyes darkened as he noticed Grayson leaning heavily

against me. Without hesitation, he stepped closer and clapped a hand on Grayson's

shoulder.

"Doctor Grayson? What happened to you?"

Grayson was more than just a healer-he was the most respected and sought- after one among all the packs.

Every Alpha knew better than to offend him, as they'd inevitably need his expertise at some

point.

Grayson's head lolled slightly as he turned to Kane, his eyes unfocused. | watched as Kane grabbed Grayson's

jaw, tilting his face to examine him more closely. His expression shifted, hardening into something dangerous.

Then Kane's gaze snapped to me, his eyes blazing with fury. His jaw clenched so tightly | could see the muscles

twitching. | froze, utterly confused by his sudden reaction.

"What did you do to him?" he demanded, his voice low and threatening.
