A dangerous growl ripped from Kane’s throat, causing Ruby to drop to her knees in submission, her legs trembling. 

“Where did you get these?” Kane demanded. 

“M–my friend recognized her and took them. She heard Alpha Magnus calling her ‘baby.‘ They seemed… intimate.” 

Kane’s fists clenched tighter. Why was he so affected by this woman? He already knew what she was like she’d had children with another man. Yet here he was, letting her get under his skin again. Disgusted with himself, he studied the photos once more. 

“When were these taken?” 

Ruby looked up. “Last night.” 

“Then why wait all day to show me?” 

“I only got them an hour ago. My friend also overheard them discussing some cure. Selene asked if Alpha Magnus brought it with him.” 

After a long pause, Kane ordered, “Stand up.” 

When Ruby tried to approach him, he held up his hand. “Go home. I don’t want to discuss this further.” 

Once outside, Ruby’s facade dropped as she reached her car, a satisfied smirk playing on her lips. “Oh Selene, you lucky thing. Kane might have saved you from death, but for how long? I’ve got other plans for you.” She laughed as she slipped into her car. 

Her driver caught her laugh in the rearview mirror but quickly looked away when she glared at him. He knew better than anyone that her sweet demeanor around the Head Alpha was just an act. 

Meanwhile, Kane was losing it. 

He called the hotel demanding their security footage from the previous night. Within minutes, they sent it over. He retreated to his study and pulled up the videos on his laptop. 

His eyes darkened watching Alpha Magnus and Selene embrace outside the hotel. But what really set him off was seeing Selene lead Magnus to her room. 

Kane slammed his laptop shut and stormed to the window. He made a quick call: “Find out if Alpha Magnus has any connection to Doctor Grayson’s cure.” 

He lit a cigarette, staring out at the orange moon casting eerie shadows across the forest. Thirty minutes later, his men reported back – the Iron Crown Pack and Ravencrest Pack had formed an alliance months ago. The timing suggested a connection to the cure. 

Kane stood there smoking until dawn broke, his mind churning.

Selene woke in the hospital bed, wincing as she tried to move her right hand. 

“Careful. Your hand’s healing slowly,” a nurse cautioned from beside her. 

Selene touched her throbbing head with her good hand. “It hurts,” she mumbled, attempting to sit up.

The nurse helped position her against some pillows. “You’re lucky – your injuries could have left you paralyzed. Alpha Kane brought you in last night. He wouldn’t leave until he knew you were stable.” Selene looked away, remembering how Kane had saved her. She owed him thanks for that.
