"Selene, where are you?"
I caught a fleeting look at Kane, his entire demeanor darkening in an instant. Just moments ago, he had seemed composed, but now his mood had taken a sharp, brooding turn. What had caused the
sudden shift?
"I'm at the coffee shop. Why? Are you heading to my place?"
The second those words left my mouth, Kane shot up from his chair, the screeching scrape of wood against the floor echoing through the empty shop. The abrupt sound made me flinch, and I instinctively took a step back, my brows knitting together as I eyed him.
"What was that noise?" Grayson asked on the other end of the line.
"A fox broke into the shop," I muttered, my gaze flicking back to Kane. His fists had clenched at his sides, his entire body brimming with suppressed tension. His face was a storm of barely restrained fury.
"A fox? What are you talking about?"
I let out a small laugh. "Just joking. Anyway, I was asking you something."
"I'm at your house," he said.
"What? You're already there?"
"Yeah, I figured you'd be home by now, so I came straight here."
"I'll be there soon."
"No rush. I'm talking with your parents."
As he spoke, I could hear my father laughing in the background. A flicker of suspicion crossed my mind-had he told them about us?
"Okay," I mumbled before ending the call.
For a moment, I had completely forgotten that someone else was still standing
there, watching me like a predator stalking its prey.
"Why did he call you?" Kane's voice was sharp, demanding.
I ignored him and strode toward the door. He followed close behind.
"I asked you a question," he pressed.
Stepping outside, I couldn't help but chuckle when I realized he had unknowingly followed me out of
the shop. Without hesitation, I locked up and turned to face him.
"You don't have the right to ask me that," I shot back.
His jaw tensed. "What's he doing at your house?"

I turned away, scanning the street for a cab, deliberately acting as if he wasn't even there.
A firm grip closed around my wrist, spinning me around to face him.
"Why are you ignoring me?" His voice was laced with anger.
I yanked my arm free from his grasp, my eyes blazing.
"Don't touch me. I can't stand it."
Kane froze, his expression momentarily flickering with something unreadable. I took a step back, my voice steady but laced with venom.
"I hate you more than anything else in this world. More than I hate Alpha Hunter. I hate you with a kind of hatred no one has ever felt before."
Kane shook his head, his deep voice unwavering. "No, you don't. You can't. We're mates."
I let out a bitter laugh. The very word made my stomach turn. The bond between
us meant nothing- not after what he had done. I could never forget. And if I couldn't forget, I would make sure I never forgave.
A cab pulled up, and I turned away from him, raising my hand to flag it down. As soon as it stopped, I opened the back door. But before sliding inside, I glanced over my shoulder.
Kane was staring at me, his expression unreadable.
I flashed him a mocking smile, my voice dripping with finality.
"Stop chasing after some mate-bond fantasy. I've already chosen my man."
