Chapter 168
My mouth fell open in shock. How could Kane even think something like that? Not only was he cold- hearted, but
he was also the most disgustingly filthy-minded man I'd ever encountered.
What did he takefor? Who did he think i was? Sdesperate woman who threw herself at men just to sleep
with them? The thought made my blood boil. | was on the verge of growling at him, but ! clenched my fists
tightly, forcing myself to stay calm.
“You're misunderstanding the situation, Alpha,” | said evenly, holding his gaze.
His eyes, full of disdain, burned into mine. It wasn’t the first t| had seen him look atlike that, but it still
stung.
He scoffed. “Do | even need to ask? You're the kind of woman who will do anything to get what she

| stared at him, disbelief coursing throughas he continued spouting nonsense. My voice was flat as | replied,
“I don’t want to hear any more of this. Please leave us alone. Just go.”

reached out instinctively to steady myself,
“I won't let you ruin his life the way you ruined mine,” Kane growled, his voice echoing with rage.

fool in front of Kane? I silently prayed he wouldn't.
“Alpha Kane? What are you doing here?” Grayson mumbled, his voice groggy.
| quickly stepped away from Kane as Grayson seemed to regain sof his composure. My thoughts were
racing. Why was Kane accusingof drugging Grayson when it was obvious the man had been drinking?
Grayson rubbed his forehead, blinking a few times as if to clear the fog from his mind. “No, no, I'm just drunk.

He took a shaky step back, and | darted forward to steady him before he could fall. Kane's eyes followed my
every move, his expression stern and disapproving.
“Don’t trust her,” Kane said sharply, his warning directed at Grayson.
Grayson blinked again, his gaze shifting between us before he shook his head. “She’s with me. You don’t need to

“Alpha Kane,” Grayson said, his voice steadier now, “I'll see you later. I'm just heading back to the hotel. She's
helping me.”

With that, he placed a hand on my shoulder, silently signaling that he needed my support again. | gave him a
reassuring smile and nodded, letting him know I'd help him get where he needed to go.
We had barely started walking when Kane's voice cut through the night.
“Get in my car. I'll take you both to the hotel.”
