The word echoed in Kane's mind as he glanced past Wren, his eyes settling on the house behind her. His

expression darkened.

It had been years since he last set foot inside. Thad passed, but the

memories remained. This house-once filled with warmth-had been the hhe and Selene shared.

After she left, the place beca hollow shell, suffocating in its emptiness. Unable to bear it, he had sworn

never to return. Yet, here he was. Maybe he wanted to embrace that loneliness again.

But that wasn't the full truth.

Because with the loneliness cthe memories of Selene.

"How have you been, Wren?" His voice was steady, but the question startled her. Kane had never asked about

her well-being before.

She had always expected he would return someday, but he never did. And when Selene left him, Wren had felt

the loss too. She had watched that girl suffer in silence, waiting here night after night for a husband who never

chome.

She remembered seeing Selen Chapter Unlocked, Enjoy Reading! ng Kane would walk through the door. And

when he finally did-bringing another woman into this house-Selene had broken down completely. Wren had

witnessed every tear.

"I'm doing well, Alpha. And you?" she asked, stepping aside to let him in.

"Mm. Good." Kane stepped inside, his tone unreadable. She couldn't tell if he was actually answering her or just

acknowledging her response.

Then her eyes fell to the floor.

"Alpha-your hand!" she gasped, noticing the blood dripping onto the hardwood.

"It's nothing," he dismissed, already heading upstairs.

Wren remained frozen for a moment, watching him disappear up the staircase. She was a few years younger

than Kane's mother and had seen him grow from a boy into the man he was now. His presence here after so

many years unsettled her. Something wasn't right.

Upstairs, Kane stopped in front of a door.

He stood there, motionless. His fingers hovered over the doorknob, hesitation gripping him.

The room had been locked for years.

Finally, he turned the knob, pushing the door open.

The moment he stepped inside, memories flooded back like a tidal wave.

He reached for the light switch, and as the room illuminated, his gaze swept across the space. Everything was as

he had left it. His mind drifted back to the first night he and Selene spent here after

That night, she had been full of laughter, talking endlessly about her day, her voice light and cheerful.

At the time, he had found it irritating. He had snapped at her, telling her to stop talking.
