| pressed my fingers against my forehead, trying to keep myself from unraveling completely.
“Selene, why can’t you just take a deep breath and start fresh?”
Axel’s words madelaugh bitterly at myself. Lowering my head, | murmured,
“When a mirror shatters, the sound is loud and sharp. But when a heart breaks, no one hears its cry. My need for
love has wreckedcompletely. The thought of being with another man terrifies me.”
Axel didn’t respond. He simply sat in silence, offering no argument, no words of comfort.
Slowly, | rose from the bed and glanced at him. “Have you eaten? Can you walk?” My gaze drifted toward his
legs, still hidden beneath the blanket.
“I can,” he admitted. “But every t| try to move, pain spreads through my entire body.”
“Alright,” | nodded. “I'll send someone up with your food. Try to rest.”
A dry chuckle escaped him. “That's all I've been doing for months. Givesomething to do, Selene. | don’t
want to waste away like this, lying around waiting for death.”
As he shifted, attempting to sit up, | instinctively reached for him, grasping his arm to help. His body felt thinner,

him.
“There's something | need to tell you,” Axel said, his eyes fixed on his own hands, which now appeared more frail
than | remembered.
| sat back down on the bed. “Go ahead.”
For a moment, | thought he might finally reveal whatever my brother had meant to tellbefore the war. That
cryptic warning still haunted me-tellingnot to trust anyone, even as he surrendered to his greatest enemy.
“I found my mate,” Axel murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.
I blinked in shock. “Your mate?”
The news caughtoff guard, but deep inside, | felt genuinely happy for him. Axel had once harbored feelings
for me-feelings | could never reciprocate. And now, fate had given him someone who was meant to be his. This
was good. This was right.
“Who is she?” | asked, curiosity creeping into my voice. “How did you find her?”
But instead of excitement, Axel looked... unsettled. Did he not like his mate? Or was there something
else?
Frowning, | pressed further. “Where is she? Is she from this pack or the Iron Crown Pack?”
Still, he remained silent. | studied his face, giving him space to speak when he was ready.
Before he could answer, my phone buzzed loudly, breaking the quiet. | glanced at the screen-an unknown
number. Hesitating for only a second, | picked up.
“Hello?”

“Miss Hawthorne, do you have a moment to talk?”
“Who's calling?”
“I'm with The Lycan Times magazine. We'd like to schedule an interview with you.”
My brows furrowed. “An interview? About what?”
“The rumors circulating about you and Alpha Kane.”
| clenched my jaw. My grip on the phone tightened.
“| have no connection to your Alpha

Ending the call abruptly, | exhaled in frustration. How had they even gotten my number?
