"Hey! Stop the car!" | shouted, my voice sharp with frustration.

"Are you deaf? | said stop the car!" | repeated, but the driver, just like his boss, ignoredcompletely. It was as
if my words didn't even register.
| glanced at the man sitting beside me-Kane Thorne. A dangerous beast in human form, capable of ending my
life without a second thought. My mind raced. Was this his plan? To killand take my children for himself? Was
he that afraid of me? Afraid | might follow through with what I'd said that night-about killing him every single day
in my head?
Lost in my spiraling thoughts, | was startled when his voice broke through the silence. It was low, calm, and
impossibly soft.
"Why do you think | want to kill you?"
His tone caughtcompletely off guard. It wasn't the cold, commanding voice | was used to. It was almost...
gentle.

"What the hell?" | thought, staring at him in disbelief. "Can Alpha Kane even talk like that?"
Turning to face him fully, | found him staring back at me, his gaze steady and unreadable.
"What are you looking at?" | snapped. "Can't you see I'm worried about your plans? Why do you want to kill me?
Is it so you can have my children all to yourself? Well, guess what, Kane Thorne-you can't kill me. I'll kill you
first."
My voice was sharp and biting, but | noticed the driver's reaction immediately. He stiffened in his seat, his hand
drifting toward his waistband, undoubtedly reaching for a gun.
| bristled, ready to growl a warning at him, but before I could, Kane's deep voice sliced through the
tension.
"Keep driving," he ordered.
The driver froze, his hand stopping short of the weapon. He glanced at Kane through the rearview mirror, then
gave a small nod and returned his focus to the road.
| couldn't believe it. Everyone in this pack seemed to carry a gun.
"Relax," Kane said, his tone almost amused. "I didn't order him to shoot you. He's my driver-of course, he's
armed. It's for protection."
| clenched my jaw and kept quiet. There was no point arguing with him. Still, | wasn't completely defenseless. My
wolf was ready to strike if necessary. | wasn't as skilled a fighter as Kane, but | could hold my own. If he cat
me, I'd make sure to leave my mark on him-wounds he wouldn't forget.
"I should've killed him that night in the war," | muttered under my breath.
"You hate me, don't you?" Kane asked, his voice calm but probing.
"Of course," | replied flatly.

"How much?" he pressed, his gaze unwavering.
| turned my head, meeting his eyes. His expression had softened, and for a
moment, | thought | saw something there—something | couldn't quite decipher. But

| didn't want to waste my energy trying to figure it out.
"More than | love my children," | said coldly, my voice like ice.
His reaction was instant. His face darkened, his shock evident. He clearly hadn't expected that
answer.
| knew what was coming next. He'd ask why | hated him so much, why it wasn't the other way around -that he
should be the one hating me. But before he could say anything, his next words caughtoff guard.
"You should not forget who | am," he said, his tone laced with warning.
I let out a scoff, rolling my eyes. "Oh, don't worry, Alpha. | know exactly who you are," | said sarcastically.
| paused, then locked my gaze with his, my voice cold and deliberate. "You're my head Alpha. And let's not
forget-you're my children's father and... my ex- husband."
The corner of his mouth twitched, but before I could read his expression, he leaned forward suddenly,
his face inches from mine.
"You forgot one thing," he said, his voice low and intimate, his breath warm against my skin.
| glared at him, refusing to flinch.
"I'm still your mate,” he murmured.
