I was convinced Selene would regret leaving me. She'd come crawling back home soon enough. Sol didn't let it bother me much after I got home.
I was in a foul mood, though. Dad had really laid into me after Selene left the pack house.
I was furious with her. I just waited for tomorrow morning, when she'd return here helpless and defeated. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face.
That night, I had a dream.
I was kidnapped by some thugs, and then I heard a girl's voice calling out to me. She rescued me from danger and treated my wounds with medicinal herbs. I kept trying to see her face, and this time, I finally did it wasn't Ruby, but Selene!
I bolted upright in bed, wide awake.
It wasn't just a dream - it was a nightmare about my past.
When I was a kid, my father had to protect me constantly since we had enemies everywhere. Being my father's only heir and future pack leader made me a target - other Alphas wanted me dead.
Once, one of my father's rivals actually managed to kidnap me.
The trauma was still fresh, which was why it showed up in my dream.
Looking out the window, I realized it was already late morning. "I've never slept in this late," I muttered. What I saw in my dream couldn't be real. Ruby was the one who helped me back then. But Selene... that woman had gotten into my head. I'd make her pay when she came back.
I headed straight for the shower.
When I came out, I expected to find my suit laid out on the couch. But there were no clothes waiting for
1. me.
"Selene!" I yelled, ready to ask why she hadn't set out my clothes yet. I was already running late. Then it hit me. She wasn't here.
I grabbed a suit from the closet and got dressed. My eyes caught sight of a card on the nightstand. 'She didn't take my credit card,' I thought.
I went to the living room and called all the servants together.
"Where's Selene?" I asked, sitting at the table.
Wren was setting the table. She bowed and said, "Luna left yesterday and hasn't returned."
That made my blood boil. I turned to my security team and ordered, "Check all surveillance cameras near the pack house."
I couldn't eat after that my appetite was gone.
An hour later, security reported back: "We found footage of her heading toward the forest area."
I watched that footage countless times. She looked disoriented, standing in the middle of the road 08:45

before heading into the forest.
The anger overwhelmed me, and I slammed my laptop to the floor.

I started to panic. How had Selene, a nobody, managed to slip away from the pack so easily? Days went by.
There wasn't a single trace of Selene anywhere in my territory.
When I questioned her foster parents, they made it clear she was just their adopted daughter and they had no connection to her anymore.
Since Selene left, my migraines had gotten worse. I needed medication just to stay functional.
I couldn't get her out of my mind.
One day at lunch, I noticed the food tasted terrible compared to before. I called Wren to ask if we had a new chef.
Wren replied with a sad expression that the chef hadn't changed. Furious, I demanded, "If it's the same chef, why does the food taste so bad?"
"Because Selene was the one cooking all your meals before."
That shocked me. I had no idea.
She had been cooking for me? I thought it was the chef making those amazing meals. I even gave him bonuses for it. I tried to rationalize it in my head.
Wren seemed to read my thoughts and added, "She loved cooking for you. She once told me she enjoyed doing things for you, even though she never knew if you'd come home to eat."
I ignored Wren's words and stormed away from the table.
Another day, I was rushing to get to the office but couldn't find my tie. I called the butler to ask about
1. it.
"Only Selene knows where they are," he replied.
Furious, I tried calling her number.
But for the first time ever, Selene didn't answer my call.
I started feeling something strange. No, this was new - I had this overwhelming need to find her.
I called my pack Beta, Finn Frost. He was one of my closest friends and would remain Beta when I became Alpha.
"Find out who her friends or biological parents are. She might be with them," I told him.
Beta Finn did his best but called back disappointed. "No one knows anything about her friends or real parents."
I was getting desperate. I cursed that woman in my mind. Who did she think she was?
Every day, my wolf blamed me. He insisted I was the one who drove her away.
I had no idea what was happening to me.
I couldn't sleep, eat, or focus on work.

One day, Beta Finn came to my house. I thought he had news about Selene, but he was there to discuss
pack business, which I couldn't care less about.
Finn gave me a knowing smile. "Kane, do you regret letting Selene go?"
His question caught me off guard, but I answered immediately. "No."
