Chapter 23
Third Person

Kane stared down the guys coming after Selene. She moved behind him, shaking her head when they laughed at
her.
When Kane looked at Selene, he saw tears in her eyes. She looked nothing like the confident woman from before.
That lost look on her face made his blood boil.
“Dude, she’s ours,” one guy panted, hands on his knees.
“Yours?” Kane's voice was deadly quiet.
“Con, she’s just playing innocent. Bet she’s out here looking for srich Alpha to hook up with. We're not
loaded, but we've got other things to offer.” The guy smirked.
Kane's growl shook the whole alley. The men dropped to their knees, but Selene fought the urge to
submit.
“Did they touch you?” Kane's voice was deep, dangerous.
When Selene didn’t answer, he snapped, “Did. They. Touch. You?”
She jumped. “Y-yes,” she whispered, tears rolling down her face.

Kane's jaw clenched. “Where?”
Selene stared at him, thinking he was no better than these creeps. “Why are you asking-*
“WHERE?” Kane cut her off.
“M-my hand...” she stammered.
“Hey hero, quit wasting time. If you want her too, we can share,” one guy called out, still thinking Kane was just
like them.
Bad move.
In a flash, Kane grabbed the guy’s arm. The crack of breaking bones echoed through the alley. The other two
tried to bolt, but they didn’t get far.
Selene froze, watching Kane fight. Before she could even think about running, things got ugly.
His eyes glowed blood-red, claws ripping out. She gasped as he tore into their jaws.
“W-who are you?” one stammered.
Kane's lips curled. “Your death.”
The last guy tried to run, but Kane was too fast. Two quick snaps, and bodies hit the ground. He snarled, pissed
that the third one got away.
When he turned back, Selene was staring at the bodies, shell-shocked.
He pulled her into his arms. “You okay?” His voice cout weirdly soft.
Holding her felt right. The thought of those scumbags touching her made him see red.
Selene snapped out of it and shoved him away. “S-stay back,” she mumbled, turning to leave.

She wiped her tears, heading for the hotel.
“Why're you being so stubborn? I'm the only one who can protect you!” he called after her.
She kept walking.
“Selene, listen to me!” he yelled.

But she couldn't. All she could think about was how he'd treated her before like she was just there for
his pleasure. He'd made her leave her pack because he wouldn't accept her having kids.
And now here he was, playing hero? Against guys who saw women the sway he did?
What was his game?
Just then, a car pulled up beside her.
Axel rolled down his window. “What are you doing out here this late?”
Selene glanced back at Kane, still standing there watching her. Without a word, she jumped in the passenger

Axel caught sight of Kane in his rearview but didn’t say anything. He just started driving.
In the side mirror, Selene watched Kane getting smaller. This the didn’t chase after her. Just stood there,
watching them drive away.
“What were you doing with him again?” Axel’s voice was tight with annoyance.
“He savedfrom srogues.”
“Those two guys | saw lying in the road?”
“Yeah. He killed them.”
“You okay?” Axel asked softly.
“Mm-hmm.”
She sank back in her seat. “Thanks, Axel.”
He frowned. “For what?”
“For having my back today. | saw your post,” she whispered, closing her eyes.
“Hey, that’s what I’m here for. But seriously - stay away from Alpha Kane.”
“I know,” she mumbled.
After that, neither of them said a word.
