Kane was fuming and about to charge atwhen Ruby clutched his arms, bursting into tears.
“Kane, please taketo the hospital. The pain is unbearable.”
After glancing at her, Kane gave a slight nod. He scooped her up into his arms, shootingone final glare
before heading to his car parked nearby. | knew he was taking her to the hospital.
| caught Ruby looking back at me. She flasheda devious smirk, then wrapped her arms around Kane's neck,
putting on quite a show of being in agony.
“This woman!” | muttered under my breath. “I barely touched her hand. If I'd used my full strength, she
wouldn't even have a hand left.”
My attention shifted to the guards who had just lost their jobs. | walked over to them, noting their dejected
expressions.
“Don’t worry about being fired. Would you be interested in working elsewhere for the spay?” |
asked.
They looked at me, stunned.
“Yeah, but how's that possible?” one of them asked.
“Leave that to me. Just lethave your ID cards.”
They pulled out their IDs, and | quickly snapped photos of them, assuring them they'd have new positions soon.
“Ms. Selene?”
| heard someone calling from behind. Turning around, | saw a security guard approaching.

“There's a car waiting for you at the entrance. We can’t let unauthorized vehicles in. Is it yours?”
“Yes, that’s my car. Please let it through,” | replied, realizing they must have stopped my driver at the main gate.
Minutes later, my driver pulled up beside me. | got in and asked him to head to the shopping mall. During the
drive, Diana called to check on my whereabouts.
She was worried I'd left the pack house for good and beggedto return. | sighed and promised I'd be back by
nightfall. She seemed relieved and apologized for her son’s behavior.
Truth be told, | had planned to leave when | stormed out of the dining room, but after giving Kane and Ruby a
taste of their own medicine, | felt somewhat better.
| realized that confronting Kane head-on would makestronger than before.
At the luxury mall, | stepped out of the car and walked inside. This place catered to the wealthy elite - I'd only
been here once before, shopping for my wedding dress at someone else’s insistence.
Coming back after so long, | wanted to buy something for my children, not knowing when I'd get the chance to
give it to them.
As | passed the designer stores, a white dress shirt caught my eye, remindingof one I'd bought for Kane
years ago. Just like my flower bouquet, he'd rejected that too.

| remembered that day clearly. I'd been so happy to buy him that shirt. Though it wasn’t designer, it was good
quality. I'd hoped he would like it, but instead, he’d poured red wine all over it.
“This shirt is cheap, just like you,” he’d sneered that day.
How could | forget those words? Being back here seemed to reopen every old wound, one by one.
| bumped into a woman, quickly apologized, and forced myself to look away from the shirt.
| spent hours in the mall, shopping for my kids and eventually settling in at a café, lost in thought.
It was nearly evening when my phone rang - an unknown number.
“Hello?”
“It’s Nathan.”
“Oh, hi. How did you get my number?”
“Alpha Garrett gave it toyesterday. | asked for it since | forgot to get it from you.”
“I see. How's Garrett doing? Is everything okay?”
| assumed he was calling about health concerns.
“No, it's about Ruby,” he replied.
As the pack’s head doctor and the Alpha family’s private physician, Nathan was always the first call when any
family member was injured. | figured Kane had taken Ruby to the pack hospital and called
Nathan to check on her hand.
“What about her?” | asked, taking a sip of coffee.
“Did you do something to her?”
“Why? Is she spreading rumors that | broke her hand?”
“No, but she’s pushing Kane to take action against you.”

| set my coffee cup down and couldn't help but laugh. “What can he do tonow? He can’t even threaten me
with divorce anymore.”
| remembered his furious expression outside the pack house. He must have heard everything | said to Ruby, and
it made him angry.
He was probably shocked to hearcurse. | wasn’t usually one for foul language, but | hated them both, so I'd
simply called them what they were.
“Her hand is injured, Selene,” Nathan said.
“Really?”
“You're right. The pressure was intense. It almost broke her hand.”
That surprised me. How was that possible? | hadn't even squeezed that hard.
“But | barely used any force, Nathan.”
“I forgot to ask - did you ever get your wolf?”
“Yes, four years ago, after giving birth. But what does that have to do with anything?”

Nathan went silent. | waited, confused by his reaction.
After a few seconds, he finally spoke. “What's your rank, Selene?”
