I’d never been good at showing my parents how much I cared for them. Today, with my father in surgery, I couldn’t focus on anything else. 

My eyes drifted to Selene, who was pacing outside the operating room. 

I’d been watching her all day. What surprised me most was how genuinely worried she seemed about my father. This was the same woman who supposedly hated me and my family. 

My mom told me how Selene had been going to the pack house, helping with Dad’s medications and making sure he ate properly. 

I couldn’t figure out how she knew so much about medical care. 

In the past five years, I’d never seen my parents as happy as they were with Selene around. 

There was no changing their minds about her. In their eyes, she was the perfect daughter–in–law. 

“Your staring is getting obvious.” 

Finn’s voice came from beside me. I turned my attention to him, breaking my gaze from Selene. 

“What’s your problem?” I snapped. 

Finn shook his head. “Nothing. Just noticed you haven’t taken your eyes off her. You’ll freak her out.” 

I scoffed. Freak her out? If only he knew how bold she’d become lately. 

“Ruby’s calling,” he muttered. 

“How’s her hand?” I asked. 

“Don’t you think she overreacted? That wound wasn’t even that deep.” 

I shot him a glare. 

He raised his eyebrows. “Hey, I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking.” 

“She nearly broke her hand.” 

“Ruby’s a Beta female. She could’ve broken free if she wanted to. Maybe she’s trying to get your sympathy?” 

Finn’s words made me think back to that day. I’d seen Selene twisting Ruby’s arm while Ruby just stood there crying. 

I wasn’t stupid. Ruby was strong enough to break free. When I asked her about it, she said she wanted to show me her vulnerable side. 

I couldn’t understand why Selene would torture Ruby like that. 

Ruby was innocent. She’d risked her life for me years ago. She’d been through hell protecting me. Selene’s hatred toward her made no sense. 

And the way Selene had spoken to me in that room that day – her arrogance was infuriating. I was sure

I hated her with every fiber of my being. 

Dr. Nathan’s emergence from the operating room interrupted my thoughts. 

“How is he?” I asked. 

Both Mom and Selene looked anxious about Dad’s condition. 

“You can all relax. The treatment worked.” 

Relief washed over me. I noticed Selene exhale deeply. 

“When can I see him?” Mom asked.

“In about an hour, after we move him to a private room. He’s still unconscious and probably won’t wa ke up for a few hours.” 

Mom pressed her hand to her chest, tears in her eyes. Selene hugged her, trying to comfort her. 

I watched them – the perfect picture of a caring daughter–in–law consoling her mother–in–law. 

I quickly looked away when I realized where my thoughts were heading. 

“Selene, thank you. You saved Alpha Garrett today.” 

Dr. Nathan’s gentle tone caught my attention. I turned to look at him. 

The softness in his eyes as he spoke to her reminded me of seeing them together in the hospital 

cafeteria. 

When his eyes met mine, his eyebrows shot up, as if suddenly aware of my presence. 

He gave a quick nod before heading back inside. 

I needed some air. 

Outside the hospital, I lit a cigarette and looked around. A family caught my eye – parents with twin children. The father was crying, holding one of the kids. 

As they passed by, I heard him say, “I can’t lose you, baby. You’re my flesh and blood. How am I supposed to let you go?” 

His raw emotion surprised me. Could a father really feel that deeply for his child? 

The twins made me think of Selene’s kids. 

Anger flared at the thought that they were someone else’s children. 

I couldn’t understand why the boy seemed to hate me while I felt drawn to the little girl. Still, I couldn’t get past the fact that they were another man’s children. 

Frustrated, I crushed my cigarette under my heel. 

As I was about to head back inside, something caught my attention. 

Selene was leaving the hospital. A modest car pulled up, and the driver got out to open her door, bowing like she was royalty. That kind of respect was reserved for Alpha families only. 

I watched the car drive away. 

I pulled out my phone and called Mom.

“Where’s Selene going?” I asked immediately, heading to my car. 

She seemed surprised by my question but answered, “She’s leaving our pack.” 

I hung up, got in my car, and followed the direction Selene’s car had taken.
