Selene spun around at the sound of her father's voice, instantly recognizing the disapproval in his eyes
as he took in Kane's presence.
Without hesitation, she pulled her hand away from Kane's grasp and put sdistance between
them.
"Dad," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.
Alpha Malcolm stepped forward, his gaze shifting to Kane.
"All respect to the head Alpha," he said, dipping his head in acknowledgment.
Selene's hands clenched into fists, gripping the fabric of her dress as she struggled to suppress her frustration.
Her father had never bowed to another Alpha before-not even when his own son assumed the role of head Alpha
after him. There had never been a need to lower himself for the sake of respect.
But now, he had no choice but to bow before Kane.
The old wounds that had once scarred her heart tore open again, the pain flooding back, reigniting the
resentment she felt toward him.

Alpha Malcolm straightened, his expression unreadable. "Is there anything we can do for you, Alpha?" His tone

Just then, Evelyn Hawthorne stepped back into the living room. She had been resting in her room, but unease
had kept her from staying away. Concern for her daughter had drawn her back.
"Selene, what's going on?" Evelyn asked, her voice laced with worry.
Selene shook her head slightly, silently reassuring her mother that it was nothing.
Alpha Malcolm gave Kane a nod, gesturing toward another part of the house. "Of course. We can talk in the
study."
Selene's heart clenched, and she quickly shook her head at her father, silently pleading with him not to go. She
didn't trust Kane-not for a second.
But her father didn't listen. He couldn't. Kane was the head Alpha now, and refusing him wasn't an
option.
Without another word, Alpha Malcolm led Kane into the study and motioned for him to take a seat on
one of the couches.
Kane, however, didn't sit. Instead, his eyes drifted toward the bookshelves lining the walls, filled with
