| tore my gaze away from Kane's eyes in the rearview mirror and looked out the window instead. The rest of the
ride was in silence, the tension thick, the air suffocating. After what felt like an eternity, the car finally slowed to
a stop in front of the hotel.
| glanced out and immediately recognized the building it was the shotel where I'd stayed back when | was
helping Kane's father with Grayson’s treatment. A wave of memories threatened to surface, but | quickly pushed
them aside.
Turning my head, | looked at Grayson. He was still leaning against me, sleeping peacefully. His relaxed
expression made him look almost charming, even childlike. For a moment, | stared at him, letting the quietness
of his presence soothe me.
But a sharp knock on the window snappedout of it, joltingback to reality. | blinked and straightened up,

When | glanced out the window, Kane was standing there, glaring at me. His signature scowl was firmly in place,
his eyes cold and unforgiving. Even after everything he'd done to make my life miserable, he somehow still had
the audacity to look atlike | was the problem.
| opened the door and stepped out of the car. Before | could assist Grayson, Kane's sharp voice cut through the
air.
“Stay away from him.”
| rolled my eyes, though | made sure he couldn’t see it. A group of hotel staff quickly approached the car, jogging
over to help Grayson. They opened the door and carefully worked to get him out.
“Be gentle. He's sleeping,” | instructed them as they carried him toward the hotel entrance.
But Kane, of course, couldn't leave it at that. “Foolish woman,” he muttered, loud enough forto hear. “He's
not asleep. He's unconscious.”
| froze, his words catchingoff guard. ‘Unconscious? | thought he was just sleeping.”
| stood there, momentarily stunned, trying to process what he’d said. But Kane, ever the opportunist, noticed my
brief lapse and pounced.
“What's the matter?” he mocked, his voice dripping with venom. “Already scheming how to slip into his room
once you get inside?”
His accusation broughtback to my senses. | turned to face him, my voice icy as | replied. “Stop testing my
patience, Alpha Kane. You've already taken my children, and for their sake, I've been holding my tongue. But
don’t mistake my silence for weakness.”

children is the only reason | acknowledge you as my head Alpha. But if you think I'll let you walk all over me,
you're mistaken. | have no problem striking back.”
His expression remained cold and unreadable, but | didn’t care. I'd said what | needed to say. Without waiting for
a response, | turned and walked toward the street, raising my hand to hail a taxi.
Behind me, | heard his angry growl. “Don’t pretend to be svirtuous woman” he snarled. “You can

| froze mid-step, my body tense as his words echoed in my ears. Slowly, | turned around, meeting his furious
gaze head-on. His accusations were relentless, and I'd had enough.
The anger bubbling insideignited, and I felt the familiar burn of power in my veins. My eyes glowed a bright
blue as | spoke, my voice steady and sharp.
“I've had enough of your accusations, Kane. You think | drugged you that night?” | took a step forward, my words
daring him to pushfurther. “Fine. Let's say | did, | drugged you. | schemed against you. | didn’t want you-I
only wanted your position.”
The words hung in the air, my tone dripping with sarcasm and defiance. | stared him down, daring him to
challengefurther. Whatever he thought of me, whatever lies he wanted to believe-I was done trying to
defend myself.
