The Alphâs Hidden fles Chapter 168 My mouth fell open in shock. How could Kane even think something like that? Not only was he cold- hearted, but he was also the most disgustingly filthy-minded man Iâd ever encountered.
What did he take me for? Who did he think i was? Some desperate woman who threw herself at men just to sleep with them?
The thought made my blood boil. I was on the verge of growling at him, but ! clenched my fists tightly, forcing myself to stay calm.
âYouâre misunderstanding the situation, Alpha,â I said evenly, holding his gaze.
His eyes, full of disdain, burned into mine. It wasnât the first time I had seen him look at me like that, but it still stung.
He scoffed. âDo I even need to ask? Youâre the kind of woman who will do anything to get what she wants. You drugged me that night, too.â
I stared at him, disbelief coursing through me as he continued spouting nonsense. My voice was flat as I replied, âI donât want to hear any more of this. Please leave us alone. Just go.â
I turned away, guiding Grayson as I tried to put as much distance as possible between us. But Kane grabbed my wrist, yanking me back with enough force that I lost my balance. I stumbled, my body tipping toward his as I reached out instinctively to steady myself, âI wonât let you ruin his life the way you ruined mine,â Kane growled, his voice echoing with rage.
Before I could respond, Grayson stirred, his movements catching both of our attention. He shook his head slightly, trying to steady himself as he straightened up. Alarm flickered in his unfocused eyes as he looked between Kane and me.
I felt a pang of anxiety. Would Grayson pretend he didnât ask for my help? Was he about to make me look like a fool in front of Kane? I silently prayed he wouldnât.
âAlpha Kane? What are you doing here?â Grayson mumbled, his voice groggy.
I quickly stepped away from Kane as Grayson seemed to regain some of his composure. My thoughts were racing. Why was Kane accusing me of drugging Grayson when it was obvious the man had been drinking?
Grayson rubbed his forehead, blinking a few times as if to clear the fog from his mind. âNo, no, Iâm just drunk. Donât mind me.â
He took a shaky step back, and I darted forward to steady him before he could fall. Kaneâs eyes followed my every move, his expression stern and disapproving.
âDonât trust her,â Kane said sharply, his warning directed at Grayson.
Grayson blinked again, his gaze shifting between us before he shook his head. âSheâs with me. You donât need to worry about it.â
Kaneâs eyebrows lifted at Graysonâs response, and his focus turned back to me. But I ignored him, keeping my attention on Grayson. I could see the effort he was putting into pulling himself together, though it was clear he was still struggling.
A question lingered in my mind: What had actually happened to him? Could someone have really 0.09:43 60.87%

âAlpha Kane,â Grayson said, his voice steadier now, âIâll see you later. Iâm just heading back to the hotel. Sheâs helping me.â
Merm With that, he placed a hand on my shoulder, silently signaling that he needed my support again. I gave him a reassuring smile and nodded, letting him know Iâd help him get where he needed to go.
We had barely started walking when Kaneâs voice cut through the night.
âGet in my car. Iâll take you both to the hotel.â
