Kane’s smirk faded as his eyes darkened. The young boy’s tone rubbed him the wrong way. 

“I don’t need your permission to be around her, kid,” Kane shot back. 

“My name is Leo, not ‘kid.‘ I warned you at the airport. So-” 

“Leo, who’re you talking to? Is that the handsome gentleman from earlier?” 

A familiar voice cut Leo off. Kane instantly recognized it–Luna. 

“Let me talk to him!” 

Before Leo could protest, Luna had already snatched the phone away. 

“Hi, mister! Did you meet my mom?” 

Her sweet voice caught Kane off guard. Something about talking to her felt… right, despite him never being much of a kid person. 

Her voice conjured up images of her adorable face in his mind. 

Trying to keep his voice gentle, he asked, “How are you doing?” 

“I’m good! How about you?” 

“I’m fine. And yes, I did meet your mother. But why are you so excited about that?” 

Luna paused for a moment, thinking. Glancing at her fuming brother, she lowered her voice. 

“Leo doesn’t like you. But I do. You’re so handsome. You’re just like-” 

Kane’s brow furrowed at her hesitation. “Just like what?” 

“Stay away from my mom and sister.” Leo’s voice cut in. Kane rolled his eyes. “Kid, you’re talking way above your age. Watch your attitude. Did your mother teach you to be this rude?” 

Leo fell silent. Just then, Kane heard the bathroom door open. His eyes landed on a figure in a white bathrobe that hugged every curve. 

For a moment, Kane nearly lost his composure. Her scent filled the room, almost driving him crazy. 

Selene froze at the sight of him in her room. She was about to yell when she noticed her phone in his hand. 

“Why do you have my phone? Who are you talking to?” She strode toward him. 

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Kane said to Leo, “Your mom’s here. Talk to her.” 

[Continuing the adaptation…] 

Selene snatched the phone away, pressing it to her ear. “Mom, why is that man with you?” Leo’s worried voice came through. 

Glaring at Kane, Selene replied, “We just ran into each other. Don’t worry, Leo. Like I taught you, your mom doesn’t talk to strangers.” 

“But he said you were-” 

“I’ll call you back.”

Selene abruptly ended the call and tossed her phone onto the bed. 

“How dare you touch my phone? And what are you doing in my room?” she demanded. 

Kane didn’t answer, his intense gaze fixed on Selene. 

His stare made her uncomfortable. She backed up to the partially open door, standing beside it. 

“Alpha Kane, you shouldn’t be in a woman’s room like this. You need to leave.” 

Kane approached her, stopping by the door. 

“I’m curious about what you told your kids.” His voice dropped, anger seeping through. “I’m a stranger to you?” 

“Drop the attitude. I’m not your wife anymore. I won’t-” 

Before she could finish, Kane grabbed her arms and pushed her against the door, slamming it shut. 

Selene’s eyes went wide. “What’s wrong with you?” 

“Why did you hurt her?” Kane demanded. 

Selene couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. She could see the rage in Kane’s eyes. Was Ruby really that important to him? 

“I’ll hurt her again if she gets in my way. No one can stop me,” Selene said defiantly.. 

He moved closer, his hands sliding from her arms to her waist. 

Her breath caught at their proximity. He leaned in, his voice low. “You can’t get over me, can you? You’re blaming Ruby for everything just to get my attention back.” 

She pressed her hands against his chest. “No way. I hate you. You disgust me.” 

Her words pushed Kane over the edge. His eyes turned dangerous as his temper flared for the second time. 

“Those kids–how could you have them out of wedlock? Have you no shame?” 

“Don’t you dare talk about my children.” She shoved against his chest. 

He grabbed both her hands, pinning them behind her back. 

“Didn’t you try to break her hand? Should I show you how that feels? What were you doing to her? What did you call me then?” 

As Selene struggled against his powerful grip, her bathrobe loosened, slipping slightly from her sho ulders. 

Kane froze at the sight. Years of buried desire threatened to break free.
