Menu Kane buried his face in her neck, his nose grazing her ear. Seleneâs breath hitched.
Even though she wanted nothing to do with him, their closeness sent electricity through her body.
âWhy did you do it? I thought you were...â Kaneâs voice trailed off as his mouth moved to her neck, his emotions spiraling out of control.
Her scent was intoxicating, making him lose touch with reality.
Though he could face thousands of wolves in battle, his wolf nature couldnât resist his mateâs scent.
As he inhaled deeply, nuzzling her neck, Seleneâs eyes grew wide. She knew exactly what was happening, but his touch left her paralyzed.
He was marking the spot where mates left their claim â her weak spot. She was surprised he still remembered exactly where she was most sensitive.
Kane pressed closer, his eyes falling shut. This woman was driving him crazy.
He couldnât forget how long heâd waited for her to return, begging for his forgiveness. Watching her vulnerable had become his obsession.
Her new confidence threw him off balance, but he couldnât deny their mate bond. Her presence soothed both him and his wolf.
He wanted to claim her right here, right now. He was losing control.
The moment his lips touched her neck, she summoned all her strength and shoved him away.
Reality crashed back into him as he stumbled backward. He was shocked by his own actions. How could he get so close to her when heâd been furious with her? How could he do this after learning she had children with another man?
Had he lost his mind? Or had she bewitched him?
âStay away from me,â Selene snarled, glaring daggers at him.
Irritated with himself, he looked away before turning back to her. âStop being so dramatic,â he muttered.
She touched the spot where his lips had been, wiping at it with disgust.
Kane stared at her, stunned. Her reaction felt like a slap in the face â like he repulsed her.
âDrop the act. You wanted all of this five years ago. Now suddenly youâre acting like Iâm poison?â
In a burst of fury, Selene rushed forward and shoved his chest.
âHow many times do I have to tell you that you have no right to me anymore?â
Something in Kane snapped. He grabbed her waist firmly. âI know exactly what rights I have. Sure, maybe weâre not married anymore â youâre right about that. But donât forget youâre still my mate. I never rejected you.â
Selene broke free from his grip, surprising him. Sheâd suddenly found the strength to stand up to him.
She had backbone now!

Menu < Chapter 56 âKeep dreaming. Nothing will ever happen between us again.â
Kane sneered. âWoman, wake up. I donât want that either. Someone who has children out of wedlock doesnât deserve to be my mate.â
Selene nodded curtly and reached for the doorknob, throwing it wide open. âPerfect. Now get out.â
âDonât forget this is my house,â Kane growled.
âYouâre right. Then Iâll be the one to leave.â
Kaneâs expression shifted â he hadnât meant to drive her away.
But if she wanted to leave, he wouldnât stop her. He refused to look desperate.
âYou donât deserve to be here anyway.â
With that, he stormed out.
âKane,â she called after him, âIâm only here because Iâm helping Alpha Garrett. Otherwise, Iâd rather die than see your disgusting face again. You were right yesterday â thatâs the only reason I came back. But donât worry, Iâm leaving your house now. You should be happy.â
Selene slammed the door hard enough to rattle the walls.
âDamn this fate and this mate bond. I need to do something about it.â
She cursed her destiny, running her hands through her hair in frustration.
After collecting herself, she changed and left the pack house, explaining to Kaneâs parents that she couldnât stay under the same roof as their son. She returned to her hotel room.
Her kids kept asking questions about Kane, forcing her to come up with explanations while swearing them to secrecy.
One thing Selene realized she hadnât shown weakness around Kane today. In fact, her wolf was stronger than sheâd ever expected.
