Stepping out of the room, I immediately noticed Beta Finn standing outside. His eyes flicked toward the door behind me before settling on me.

He was always by Kane's side-loyal to a fault.

Offering him a brief nod, I walked past him, not sparing a second thought about whatever scheme Kane was planning next to make my life miserable.

Whatever it was, I would fight it.

"Why does he keep trying to get close to me now? Back when we were married, he went out of his way to avoid me, spending as little time at home as possible. Is it his wolf that wants to be near me?"

I recalled how his wolf had acted during the war. But had Kane really let his wolf take control?

Shaking away the thoughts, I returned to the party.

It wasn't long before I ran into Delta Derek. I had been searching for my purse, which I had carelessly

left somewhere.

Derek held up the bag. "Looking for this?"

"Yeah, thanks," I said, taking it from him.

Pulling out my phone, I noticed multiple missed calls from Grayson's number.

I cursed under my breath at my carelessness and quickly called him back to let him know where I was.

"You seem close to the healer," Derek remarked casually.

I glanced up at him and nodded. "You're right. We've gotten pretty close."

His eyebrows lifted slightly, and he averted his gaze. I barely caught the words he murmured under his

breath.

"Kane won't accept that."

I narrowed my eyes. “Excuse me? Did you say something?”

He shook his head. "Nothing."

I let it go with a small smile and was about to walk away when a familiar middle- aged couple caught

my attention.

Turning toward them, I approached, and they quickly noticed me.

"Selene, how have you been?" Alpha Garrett-Kane's father-asked.

"I'm doing well, Uncle. How's your health?"

"Same as always," he said with a small shrug.

But my gaze shifted to Diana-Kane's mother. She didn't look pleased to see me.

"I take it you're not happy that I'm here," I said bluntly. "You didn't even answer my calls when my children were locked inside this pack house. Why, Aunt?"

Diana's expression hardened. Her voice was cold as she responded, "Why did you keep my grandchildren hidden from us? Who gave you the right to do that?"

I lowered my gaze, knowing deep down that I was at fault. I had kept the children away. But the truth was, Kane wasn't a good man. I had been afraid-afraid for my children's safety.

"I was terrified he'd harm them... just because I was the one who gave birth to them," I admitted.

Diana's eyes widened in shock at my words, but Garrett simply studied me with quiet contemplation.

"The past is the past," he finally said. "Where have you been lately? You haven't visited me in a month."

A small chuckle escaped me. "Uncle, I wanted to see you, but I got the feeling Aunt wouldn't approve. Maybe she doesn't want me around."

My words were aimed at Diana, and when Garrett looked at her, she turned away.

I hadn't forgotten how many times I had tried to reach out to her, pleading just to

see my children. But she and her son had both been unyielding, ungrateful.

Just then, Diana's attention shifted elsewhere. Her face lit up as she called out, "Ruby."

I followed her gaze and saw Ruby arriving at the party.

Rolling my eyes, I inwardly groaned.

"Great. Just what I needed-what the hell is she doing at my children's party?"
