Chapter 60 

Third Person 

Kane kept his eyes on the road as he followed Selene’s car. He wasn’t sure why he was tailing her, but when his mom said she was leaving, something inside him wouldn’t let her go. 

How dare she leave his pack without his permission? 

The first few raindrops hit his windshield without warning. Looking up, he saw dark clouds gathering overhead. 

“Great, rain,” he muttered. 

Water slicked the asphalt, and thunder cracked across the sky. Kane fixed his eyes on the red taillights of Selene’s car ahead. 

While driving, he tried calling her. He needed answers – needed to understand why she was leaving. Something felt wrong about all this. 

Each time she rejected his call, his anxiety grew. This woman was driving him crazy. 

“Why won’t she pick up the damn phone?” His knuckles went white as he gripped the steering wheel harder. 

The winter rain created a thick blanket of fog, turning the road into a hazardous maze of limited visibility. 

Every argument they’d had this week played through his mind. Her harsh words hung in his thoughts like the heavy clouds above. 

“Does she really think I can’t stop her?” He growled, pressing down on the gas. 

Meanwhile, Selene stared at her phone screen, watching Kane’s calls come in one after another. 

She couldn’t figure out what he wanted, but she didn’t owe him anything anymore. She wasn’t part of his pack, and he wasn’t her Alpha. 

She turned off her phone and shoved it in her bag. The last thing she wanted was to talk to him. 

“Please get me home quickly,” she told her driver. 

He caught her eye in the rearview mirror. “Yes, Miss. I’m going as fast as I safely can.” 

She nodded and turned to watch the rain–streaked window. 

From the backseat, Selene watched the world blur past. The events of the past week flooded her mind, strengthening her resolve never to return to this pack. 

The raindrops tracking down the window mirrored her mood. The sudden storm seemed fitting – as chaotic as her life had become. 

Like this gloomy weather, her life was full of fog and uncertainty. 

She’d come to help Alpha Garrett, and she’d succeeded. Now it was time to return home – to her children. 

Her twins‘ behavior toward their father troubled her. 

One question kept nagging at her: “What happens when they learn the truth about their relationship?

The engine’s hum and rhythmic swish of wipers were making her drowsy. The rain’s steady drumming on the roof pulled at old memories, like each drop carried a piece of her past. 

Her driver’s panicked voice shattered the calm. 

“Miss, the brakes aren’t working!” 

Her eyes snapped wide. 

“What?” 

Terror gripped her chest, making it hard to breathe. Any sense of safety vanished instantly. 

She looked at her driver in disbelief, then at the road ahead. 

He wasn’t wrong – the brakes were completely dead. 

The driver wrestled with the wheel, but the car wouldn’t respond. The rain–slicked road made it impossible to control. Without brakes, they were helpless. 

As they approached a steep slope, time seemed to slow down for Selene. Each second stretched into eternity. Pure fear coursed through her veins. 

“LOOK OU-” 

Her warning cut off as the car lurched violently. 

The vehicle started spinning. 

Panic overwhelmed Selene’s thoughts. This couldn’t be happening. She was going to die. 

Kane, still following behind, could see everything unfold in his headlights. 

His heart nearly stopped when he saw Selene’s car start to spin out of control. 

The scene before him was straight out of his worst nightmares. His whole body shook with denial, refusing to accept what he was seeing. 

Kane acted on pure instinct – no time to think. Despite knowing he was risking his life, he didn’t hesitate. 

He steered his car toward Selene’s. 

Though his heart was racing, he directed his vehicle with precision, a silent prayer on his lips. 

With calculated force, Kane’s car connected with Selene’s. 

The impact halted the deadly spin. 

Metal screamed against metal as the collision brought both cars to a stop mere inches from disaster.

Kane didn’t waste a second catching his breath. He bolted out of the car without hesitation. 

Adrenaline pushed him forward. The sound of rain faded against his thundering heartbeat. 

In his desperate rush to reach Selene’s car, he barely registered the wet pavement beneath his feet. 

The world blurred around him, his pounding heart making everything seem unreal. 

With each step closer, his heart shattered more, dread creeping through his veins and chilling him to the core. 

Selene’s car sat silent in the rain like a dark omen, and Kane was desperate to uncover its secrets. 

“Selene, can you hear me?” he called out. 

His voice reached her like a lifeline pulling her from darkness. 

Inside the car, Selene was drowning in a storm of emotions. 

Her world, as fragile as spun glass and nearly shattered by the crash, suddenly found stillness. 

Kane’s voice, though clear and steady, seemed to echo from far away, from a place she struggled to reach. 

The pain from her injuries had numbed her mind, but his voice promised salvation. 

Her reality had flipped upside down, her mind a battlefield between the present and flashes of the crash. 

Sharp fragments of memory kept cutting through her thoughts, each one a painful reminder of what she’d survived. 

How had it happened? Hadn’t she just been thinking about the weather and her past? Everything had been fine moments ago. 

Then came the screech of tires, the explosion of glass, the violent spin – moments that had nearly stolen her life. 

His voice slowly pulled her back to consciousness. His face appeared through the shattered window, etched with concern. 

When Selene’s eyes found him, she startled. The sight of him felt both familiar and dreamlike, jolting her back to reality. 

Their eyes met, his filled with unspoken fears and worry. 

“Selene? Stay with me. Don’t close your eyes,” he called through the broken window. 

He reached for her hand. The moment their fingers touched, their mate bond surged between them like 

an electric current. 

— 

The connection reminded her that he was still her mate – something she’d almost forgotten. 

Kane let out a fierce growl when he saw her blood–covered, trembling hand – clear evidence of her pain. 

His wolf fought to take control, desperate to protect his mate. He’d waited so long to find her; he couldn’t lose her now.
