The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184 

I blinked, my eyes stinging as if something sharp had pierced them, 1 looked away from Kane, his words echoing in my mind, trying to piece together their meaning 

“Leamed the truth? I wasn’t the one? 

“Selene,” Kane began, his voice softer than usual, but I cut him off with a sharp, cold glare 

“What do you mean?” I demanded. 

He didn’t flinch, meeting my icy gaze with calm resolve. 

“I reviewed all the footage from that night,” he said evenly, “and 1 found out the truth.” 

I stared at him, unblinking, as though time had frozen. There was something different about him today. He was unusually calm, his tone lacking its typical edge. It wasn’t like him to act this way, not 

with me. 

A bitter chuckle escaped my lips, and I turned my gaze away from him. That chuckle grew into laughter, uncontrollable and sharp. I clutched my stomach, laughing like someone who had finally lost their grip on reality.

vanished in an instant. 

“It’s none of your business,” I said coldly, the walls around me snapping back into place. 

Without waiting for his response, I opened the car door and stepped out. I couldn’t deal with this anymore–his questions, his sudden interest in my past, his attempts to dig into wounds that weren’t
