"What did you just say?"
Finn's eyebrows shot up as he stared at me.
"Weren't you just drunk a moment ago?"
"That doesn't mean I didn't hear you."

Finn took a sip of his drink and gestured toward someone. When I turned my head, I saw a woman flashing me a seductive smile. This time, I saw her clearly.
She wasn't Selene.
The moment she waved at me, I shot her a cold glare. Fear flickered across her face, and she quickly looked away, shifting her attention to another man.
Annoyed, I turned my stool back toward the bar and rested my head on the counter, hoping to clear my mind.
"Kane, can you just listen to me?" Finn asked.
"Bro, why can't you leave me alone? Why are you even here? To annoy me? Go back to work."
"Do you even know what time it is? It's late. You've been drinking for hours."
I didn't answer. I just sat there in silence.
"Those kids aren't yours, Kane. You need to stay away from them. This is about your status, your reputation. As Alpha, you can't afford to-"
I opened my eyes, cutting him off mid-sentence.
Finn swallowed his words and looked away, downing the rest of his drink in one go.
Pressing my palms against the counter, I forced myself upright and signaled the bartender for another drink.
The bartender hesitated, giving Finn a quick glance as if seeking permission.
I glared at him. "Who's your Alpha? Me or him?"
"Y-You, Alpha."
"Then make me a drink. A strong one."
The bartender, visibly shaken, hurried to prepare my drink. The moment he placed the glass in front of me, I grabbed it and downed the entire thing in one go.
The alcohol dulled my thoughts, bringing a deceptive sense of stability.
"Drinking won't solve anything," Finn muttered.
I shot him a sharp look. "I'm already screwed. Don't make it worse."
Finn slammed his glass onto the counter, the loud sound making the bartender flinch. Without a word,
Finn motioned for the bartender to move to the other side of the bar.
The bartender nodded at Finn, gave me a respectful bow, then quickly retreated to the far end, blending 14:28

in with the other bartenders.
Finn turned back to me. "I'm done with your mood swings."
I narrowed my eyes. "Have you forgotten who you're talking to?"

"Yeah. Right now, I'm not talking to my Alpha. I'm talking to my best friend." His voice was firm. "What the hell is wrong with you, Kane? How much longer are you going to act like this? It's been over a year since your divorce. You need to move on."
I averted my gaze. Lifting my glass to my lips, I realized it was empty. I had already finished my drink- and sent the bartender away.
My eyes flickered to the shelves behind the bar, lined with bottles of liquor.
I raised my hand, and a waiter immediately approached.
"Give me that bottle."
The waiter handed it over and quickly stepped away.
Finn watched, shaking his head in disapproval.
I chuckled. "What? You think I can't handle more? I'm your Alpha. A few drinks won't take me down."
I twisted the cap off and took several deep gulps straight from the bottle before setting it down with a thud.
"So, what were you saying?" I asked, noticing Finn's exhausted expression.
"What do you want?" he asked, staring directly into my eyes.
"I want to make her pay. She cheated on me."
Finn scoffed. "Really? And what were you doing with Ruby? I warned you a thousand times to stay away from that girl when you were married. Back then, I was your father's Beta. I cared about you and your marriage. Your father and your in-laws-they saw Selene as a potential Luna. And they were right. Turns out, she was an Alpha's daughter."
I grabbed his collar. "Are you saying she was justified in what she did? Did I get someone pregnant behind her back? Then why the hell did she think she had the right to carry another man's child?" Finn sighed. "The past is the past, Kane. If you hate what she did, then let it go. Move on. She's never coming back to you."
My hands clenched as the thought of Selene walking away burned in my mind.
Why couldn't I listen to Finn? I had Ruby. I could have started fresh, just like I wanted years ago. So why did Selene still haunt my thoughts?
I pressed a hand against my chest, gripping my shirt. A strange discomfort stirred inside me. Was it the alcohol? Or something else?
"I can't. She's-"
"She's not your wife anymore."
"She's my mate. I won't let her move on from me." My voice was low but firm.
Finn fell silent. I didn't look at him to see his reaction.

I pushed myself to my feet, unsteady but determined. As I turned toward the exit, Finn rushed over, slinging my arm around his shoulder.
"You're drunk. I'm not letting you drive. I'll take you home."
I didn't fight him. I let him drop me off at my apartment.
Lying on my bed, still fully clothed, shoes and all, I stared at the ceiling.
Selene used to take care of me when I came home like this.
That was years ago. So why were those memories surfacing now?
I closed my eyes, hoping for a few hours of escape.
But the moment I drifted into sleep, a massive black wolf appeared in my dreams.
Its piercing blue eyes locked onto me as it hunted me through the darkness.
I jolted upright, running a hand through my hair, my heart pounding.
Something about that wolf unsettled me.
I had never seen it before-not in battle, not in any pack.
An Alpha wolf.
A question burned in my mind.
"Who is that wolf?"
