| kept my eyes on Grayson as he drove, but my thoughts were far from the road ahead.
"Where's your mind wandering?" he asked, glancing atbriefly.
| snapped out of my daze and quickly turned my gaze away from him. "Nowhere."
Leaning back against the seat, | closed my eyes, but my mind kept drifting back to Kane's apology.
| thought about the two years | had spent with him. A humorless laugh escapedas the memories played in
my head.
I'd done everything | could to please him, never stepping out of line or doing anything he might dislike. I'd been
like a lifeless doll, always waiting for him to chome. And when he did, it was always late

-so late that it felt deliberate, like he didn't want to see me.
How could a simple "I'm sorry" ever make up for that?
It couldn't.
| would never forgive him. It wasn't withinto do so.
"Selene."
Grayson's voice pulledback to the present. | opened my eyes and turned to him.
"Thank you, Grayson," | said softly. "I'm lucky to have a friend like you. You've agreed to help my
brother, and | can't express how much that means to me."
An hour ago, when he pickedup from the bridge, we'd gone to a restaurant to talk. I'd asked him to help my
brother, and he'd agreed. I'd told him | had nothing to offer in return, and he'd assuredhe wouldn't ask for
anything | couldn't give.
"As a healer, it's my duty to help," he said. "But | can't promise anything until | meet Alpha Magnus."
"lI understand,” | replied. “But | believe you can help him. Even Nathan said so." Grayson's expression shifted
slightly, his brow furrowing. "Nathan?"
"Oh, I didn't mention him, did 1? He's the head doctor of this pack. He's also a close friend of mine."
"Close friend... | see," Grayson muttered under his breath.
| fell silent, unsure how to interpret his reaction. Did he think | was comparing him
to another doctor? Or was he upset that I'd mentioned someone else when he was one of the best?
"How's life treating you these days?" he asked, changing the subject.
| turned my attention back to him. "It's fine. As you know, I'm working at the
Shadow & Moon coffee shop."
Something flickered in his eyes, though | couldn't quite read it.
"Why are you working there? You're talented enough to work in the medical field," he said, his tone

| lowered my head, smiling faintly. How could | explain that | had tried? I'd applied
to countless medical jobs, but no one had hired me-not because of my
qualifications, but because the head Alpha had forbidden it.
"Selene, what's so special about this coffee shop that makes you want to work there?"
His question madethink of Margot, the owner of the shop.
"The owner is an amazing woman. She treatslike a daughter," | said, my voice soft.
Grayson gavea small nod, but | could tell he wasn't happy about my choice of work.
A thought struckthen, one that had been lingering in the back of my mind for days.
"Grayson," | began hesitantly, "the other day, you toldyou'd been searching for me."
Before | could say more, he suddenly slammed on the brakes.
My body jolted forward at the abrupt stop, and | turned to him in shock.
He looked just as stunned, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. After a
moment, he turned toand asked, "Did | say that?"
