As soon as Grayson placed the ring in Selene’s hand, a wave of applause erupted throughout the hall. 

Some guests clapped enthusiastically, while others did so with hesitation, their expressions laced with uncertainty. Rumors had been circulating just days ago–whispers that Alpha Kane was actively pursuing Selene. No one knew for sure if the rumors were true, but the mere possibility made them uneasy. If Kane really did have an interest in Selene, then celebrating her public commitment to another man might be seen as an offense. 

Grayson rose to his feet, pressing a soft kiss to the back of Selene’s hand before she pulled him into a warm embrace. 

“Thank you for not making me regret this,” she murmured quietly, her voice just for him. 

His arms wrapped around her in response, his voice a gentle whisper against her ear. 

“I told you–I like you. That’s why I wanted you by my side. All I want is for you to be happy.” 

They chuckled softly as they pulled apart, lost in each other’s presence. 

But across the room, seated in the shadows, a man watched them with an intense, burning gaze. 

Kane’s fingers clenched around the glass in his hand, his grip tightening with each passing second. Without warning, the glass shattered, shards embedding themselves into his palm. Blood trickled between his fingers, dripping onto the hardwood floor. 

“Alpha!” Theta Gideon gasped, his voice filled with alarm. 

The surrounding officials turned their attention to Kane, their eyes widening in shock at the sight of crimson staining his hand. 

“Call Nathan,” Beta Finn ordered, his voice sharp and urgent. 

Delta Derek gave a quick nod and immediately dialed the pack doctor. His brows furrowed as he spoke into the phone. 

“Why isn’t he answering?” Derek muttered, frustration creeping into his tone. 

Concern spread among the officials. Although Kane’s wounds would heal quickly, the glass lodged in his palm was a different matter altogether. 

“Alpha, I can take care of it. I know the basics of first aid,” Gamma Storm offered as he stepped 

forward. 

But Kane remained still, his expression unreadable, his eyes locked onto Selene. He watched as she stood close to Grayson, her face glowing with happiness. A sharp, unfamiliar pain stabbed at his 

chest. 

He had never felt this before–not even when he had seen her with Axel. 

Maybe it was because Axel had never proposed to her right in front of him. Maybe it was because Selene had never looked at Axel the way she was looking at Grayson now. The tenderness in her gaze, the soft way she leaned into him–it was unbearable. 

His hands curled into fists once more as he caught sight of her blushing while hugging Grayson.

“When she talked about starting over… she meant with another man,” he muttered under his breath, the words tasting bitter. 

Gamma Storm, known for his short temper, felt his Alpha’s silent agony like a tangible force. His blood boiled at the sight of Kane in pain.
