The moment Selene admitted she had druggedthat night, | froze. Her words hitlike a punch to the gut,
but it wasn’t just her confession that leftshaken-it was the way her deep blue eyes glowed with the fiery
presence of her wolf. For a brief second, | caught a glimpse of her wolf's fur in her gaze, and it threwoff
balance.
| frowned, confused. Shouldn't | be the one consumed with rage right now? This woman had just admitted to
drugging me, yet she stood there with an unsettling calmness, almost mocking me.
“Happy? You know the truth now,” she said, a bitter laugh escaping her lips, the sound hollow and sharp.
Her arms crossed over her chest, and she continued, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Now letlive my own
life. If marrying you destroyed your life, consider this my apology. If I'm a sinner, then marrying you was the
biggest sin of my life. | know you hatefor it-and believe me, Kane, | regret the day | ever met you.”

Her words sliced through me, but what truly caughtoff guard were the tears glinting in the corners of her
eyes. She was holding them back, refusing to let them fall, and she was doing it with flawless control. For a
moment, the fierce, determined woman who had nearly ripped my heart out on the battlefield was gone. In her
place stood someone raw and broken-a woman who had clearly endured far more than | ever realized.
| clenched my jaw, fighting the unexpected stir of emotion in my chest as | stared at her tearful face. Her pain
shouldn't matter to me. It didn’t matter to me. But in that moment, it was impossible to ignore.
Looking away, | forced my voice to remain steady. “Get in the car. Your house is on my way.”
| hated myself for the lie even as | said it. This woman had manipulated me, humiliated me, and yet, | couldn't
bring myself to feel the hatred | knew I should.
Why?
Why hadn't | let her die during the war, even after discovering the truth about my children? Why had I given her
any semblance of safety within my pack? Why did | still feel anything for her?
| opened the car door, ready to get inside, but | stopped when | saw her walking toward me. She didn’t climb into
the car. Instead, she stopped right in front of me, her dark, piercing eyes locking on mine.
“Kane,” she began, her voice steady but heavy with emotion. “What you've done toin the past-and even
what I'm going through now-is all because of you. But | can’t deny my fate. Even if | want to kill you every t|
see you, | know it’s written in my damn luck to bow down to you.”
Her words stung, and | clenched my jaw tighter, my fists curling at my sides.
She took a deep breath, steadying herself before continuing. “You're the father of my children. And I'm happy
you accepted them. The day | left your pack, carrying them inside me, was the hardest day of my life. | was
terrified, but | knew | had to protect them, no matter what.”
Her words caughtoff guard, and my brows furrowed. “Stop lying, Selene. | don’t believe a word you

Selene shook her head, a faint, bitter chuckle escaping her lips. “It’s nothing new. You've never believed me. And
I'm done trying to convince you.”
Her voice softened, and for the first time, the steel in her tone wavered. “All | ask is that you keep our children
safe. Don’t hurt them just because they cfrom me. I'm tired, Kane. I'm tired of fighting.”
She paused, as if gathering her thoughts, her shoulders sagging slightly. “I truly hope we never see each other
again.”
| didn’t move as she turned her back to me. | didn’t call out to stop her. | simply watched as she walked away,
her steps deliberate and final.
She raised her hand to hail a taxi, and when one stopped, she climbed inside without looking back.
And then she was gone, leavingstanding there, alone and dazed.
