That familiar scent of cologne hit my nose before I even saw him. Those eyes – I knew them too well. “Kane,” I muttered through gritted teeth. 

Was he trying to spook me? He just stood there, silent, staring. I shook my head in frustration. 

“Look, I know this is your pack house, but stop stalking me.” 

I turned to head to my room, and surprisingly, Kane didn’t say a word or try to argue. But his footsteps echoed behind me. 

An uncomfortable chill ran down my spine. Thank god my room wasn’t far. The door was cracked open, a sliver of light spilling into the hallway, guiding my way. 

I rushed forward and grabbed the handle. Kane was taking his sweet time walking up behind me, so I whirled around to face him. 

In the light, I could see him clearly now. His eyes had shifted from their usual deep red to pitch black. 

“What’s your problem? Why are you following me?” I snapped. 

He stopped right in front of me, his normally neutral expression morphing into something hostile. 

Shouldn’t I be the angry one here? 

“Following you? Don’t flatter yourself, princess. I’m heading to my room.” 

He jerked his chin toward a door just a few feet from mine. 

“Your room? But the Head Alpha’s bedroom is downstairs.” 

Kane brushed past me, saying, “I didn’t want that one.” 

I stood there dumbfounded as he walked into his room and slammed the door, making me jump. 

‘So he wasn’t following me? Way to make myself look paranoid!‘ I took a deep breath before entering my room. 

Just then, I heard the maid behind me. “Miss.” 

I turned and motioned her in. She carried a pitcher of water and a glass, setting them on the nightstand before quietly leaving. 

As soon as the door closed, I gulped down some water. Flopping onto the bed, I prayed this week would fly by. 

The next morning, I woke up early out of habit – my usual office routine kicking in. But without any actual work to do, laziness crept in. Should I just play the role of guest and take it easy for the week? After my shower, I noticed how my body hadn’t changed much over the years. The designer must have known my measurements perfectly because this dress fit like a glove. 

I dried my hair and checked myself in the mirror. The dress made me look like I belonged in high society. Then I headed downstairs. 

“Good morning,” I greeted Garrett and Diana. 

They smiled warmly. I noticed Diana helping Garrett to the couch and quickly moved to assist, supporting his other side.

Once seated, Garrett patted the space next to him. Diana gave me an encouraging nod, so I sat down beside him. 

His slightly trembling hand rested on my head. “Every time I look at you, I see someone capable of leading this pack with grace and responsibility. You’re a good woman. I’ll never understand how my son let you go.” 

“He’s a fool,” Diana added, sitting on my other side. 

I kept my head down, listening. I’d wanted to avoid dredging up the past, but I could tell they needed to express these feelings. They weren’t wrong. 

The sharp click of heels against hardwood made us all turn. Ruby stood in the entrance, and I couldn’t help but frown. 

She was still beautiful, but her style had changed drastically. Gone were the simple clothes from five years ago, replaced by designer labels and flashy accessories.
