JoyReadChapter 318 * Get 5 > Meru As soon as the car screeched to a halt in front of my house, I bolted out and rushed inside.
I still couldn't wrap my head around it. What connection did Ruby have with Selene's cousin? My mind flashed back to the way Ruby had reacted months ago when she'd seen Verity outside this very house. When I questioned her about it, she had acted as if she didn't know her.
So why had she helped her? "Kane." Finn's voice pulledback to the present. He stood behind me, his gaze shifting away as he spoke.
"I know this isn't what you want to hear right now, but just take a breath. Let's see how this plays out." I clenched my fists, my eyes scanning the room. Every one of my officials was here. It seemed they had dismissed all the maids for the night.
Gamma Storm was carefully bandaging Verity's head. He glanced up atand said, "I figured I'd do this myself. We can't take the risk of sending her back to the pack hospital." I gave him a short nod before turning away.
"Where are you going, Kane?" Chapter Unlocked, Enjoy Reading! "To my study. Letknow the moment Gamma Curtis gets nere.

"Ruby? What does she have to do with this?" Theta Gideon asked, clearly confused. The others wore similar expressions of disbelief.
Finn turned to them. "Guys, it was her. She's the one who helped Verity." A stunned silence filled the room.
Shutting my eyes, I exhaled sharply before muttering, "Call her here too." Without waiting for a response, I strode toward my study.
Something deep inside was pullingtoward the diary I had abandoned months ago. An ache in my chest toldI needed to keep reading.
Once inside, I went straight to my desk, pulled open the drawer, and retrieved the diary.
Sitting down, I took a deep breath before flipping it open.
Page after page, I skimmed through until I reached the spot where I had last stopped reading.
As my eyes moved over the words, my stomach twisted.
Ruby had abused Selene? That couldn't be right-she had toldthe exact opposite.
My brow furrowed as I continued, and then my eyes locked onto something that made my breath hitch.

At first, I was shocked, but the doctors said I was lucky that all my wounds healed so fast. If I can heal like that, then why do people callwolfless? Am I really wolfless?" I blinked and turned the page.
"Today, Kane toldhe wants a divorce. Why is this happening to me? I have always had feelings for him Notjust how, but since childhood. I fell for him the moment I saw him... in the basement of the old company." I had picked up the diary to learn about Ruby, but this-this was something I never expected.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The old company's basement?" My breath hitched, and my hands gripped the edges of the book.
My vision blurred with rage and disbelief as I kept reading. My heart pounded as if trying to warn mem beggingto be wrong about what I was piecing together. Because if I was right... I would never forgive myself.
"When I saw Kane surrounded by fire in the basement, I was terrified. I thought something would happen to him. I was afraid he would get hurt. I tried to help him escape since I was close to the back door. My right hand got burned in the process. But even NO through the pain, I felt happiness because I managed to save him. He wasn't in a good state-he looked like he was about to pass out. But even then, he askedif I would go with him, his eyes barely staying open. His words... they captured my heart. I wanted to say yes, but I had already seen the kidnappers. So I ran in the opposite direction to distract them and lead them away from him. They beatfor saving Kane, but I didn't care. I was just relieved that he was safe. From that moment on, my heart belonged to him." I sat frozen, unable to tear my eyes away.
"I will never remind him of the past. I don't want him to feel like he owesanything. I just want him to lovefor who I am, without reasons or conditions. If I can feel my love for him so clearly, why can't he? Why can't he loveback?" She was right.
The ground felt like it had disappeared beneath me.
A sharp, relentless pain stabbed through my chest, and I knew it wasn't going away anytsoon.
"H-How... how could I never realize it was her?" 08.18
