Kane’s POV She didn’t even let me finish–just hung up on me without a second thought. My blood simmered with rage. It wasn’t just the abrupt way she ended the call, it was what she had said before 

she did. 

Why did she always use another man to provoke me? 

Frustrated, I slammed my phone onto the desk and reached for a pack of cigarettes. Pulling one out, I lit it, inhaling deeply as my mind replayed our conversation. The moment she mentioned she was with Axel, my temper had snapped. 

Axel? That bastard was barely clinging to life in the Iron Crown Pack. Once, he had been a beta in a different pack, but now, he was nothing more than one of my subordinates. There were countless ways I could end him. If he so much as glanced at Selene again, I wouldn’t hesitate to rip his soul straight from his body. 

Her words echoed in my head, my fists clenching at the thought. Then, a knock at the door interrupted my storming thoughts. 

“Come in.” 

My secretary stepped in, lowering his head respectfully, 

“Alpha.” 

“Where is he?” 

He swallowed hard, his posture stiff. He knew exactly who I was asking about–the employee who had the audacity to direct Selene to the meeting room. 

“H–He has a high fever, Alpha. He’s terrified that…” 

“Terrified of what? His own death?” 

The man flinched, hesitantly lifting his gaze before quickly bowing again. 

“Alpha, please… Miss Selene asked him where you were. He only answered her. There was no ill intent.” 

“And where the hell were you when this happened?” I asked, grinding my teeth. 

“I–I was in the restroom.” 

“Bullshit.” 

He visibly trembled, but I was past the point of caring. Fear no longer entertained me–it was expected. What truly enraged me was that Selene had to endure even a second of embarrassment because of someone else’s incompetence. I had given clear instructions for her to wait in my damn office. 

“You’re fired.” 

His eyes widened in panic. “A–Alpha, please! I’m so sorry! Don’t fire me!” 

I studied his face, reading the desperation in his expression. He had been working under me for over three years.

“Tell that fool he’s fired. He probably won’t survive his fever anyway. Either way, I don’t want to see him in this company again.” 

A breath of relief escaped his lips, as if a crushing weight had been lifted off his chest. No doubt he had feared I meant to fire him instead. 

“Yes, Alpha. I’ll inform him.” 

He hesitated before stepping closer, handing me a file–the actual reason he had come in–then turned to leave.
