I reached out and grabbed Magnus’s sleeve. 

“Magnus!” 

Nathan turned to face Magnus.

“Of course not, Alpha Magnus. I’d never dream of pursuing the Iron Crown Pack’s princess. She’s my friend, and I’m grateful for that alone.” 

With those words and a faint smile in my direction, Nathan left the hospital room. 

My heart ached for Nathan. I knew he’d never thought of me that way. As my personal doctor, he knew everything about my medical history and what I’d been through. 

“Why the long face? Don’t tell me you have feelings for him?” my brother asked. 

I let go of his sleeve. “What? No way. But he’s one of my closest friends. He was the first person who helped me keep the truth from Kane. Remember?” 

He perched on the edge of the bed. “That’s why I respected him. But as a guy, I can read other men pretty well.” 

“Are you saying he has feelings for me?” 

He laughed and pinched my cheek. “Who wouldn’t? You’re my adorable little sister.” 

“Ow! Quit it!” I swatted his hand away, my cheek stinging from the pinch. 

“Alright, alright, my bad. Now get ready. We’re heading out.” 

Magnus stood up, his expression turning serious again. I wondered if all Alphas had such mood swings – they always seemed so cold and distant. Or maybe they were just more complex than they appeared. 

After he left, Magnus sent in the head nurse to help me change into the new clothes his driver had 

brought. 

Getting dressed was a bit of a struggle, but thankfully, it didn’t take too long. 

Magnus came back to escort me out. He supported me with one arm around my shoulders and held my hand with his free one. 

Everyone was staring at us. I tried to ignore their looks, but they reminded me of Kane’s accusations. 

The more I dwelled on it, the more my chest tightened with pain. 

“Selene!” 

I heard Kane’s mom’s voice as Magnus and I crossed the lobby toward the main entrance. 

We stopped and turned around. 

“Mrs. Thorne,” Magnus acknowledged her. 

She nodded at him before turning her attention to me. 

Her eyes widened at the sight of my bandaged head. She rushed forward and pulled me into a hug.

“What happened to you, Selene? I thought you left the pack last night.” 

I managed a smile at her gentle tone. “I’m okay, Mrs. Thorne. Just a minor injury.” 

Magnus stood beside me, watching Diana Thorne carefully. I knew my brother well enough–his calm stare meant he wasn’t exactly thrilled with Kane’s mother. 

“Where are you headed?” she asked, breaking the hug and glancing at Magnus. 

“I’m leaving the pack.” 

“But you’re in no shape to travel. Please, stay a few more days and rest up.” 

Magnus raised an eyebrow at her request. Before he could respond, I jumped in. 

“Thanks, Mrs. Thorne, but I can’t stay any longer. I need to get back to Iron Crown.” 

She nodded, looking defeated. “Take care of yourself then.” 

“How’s Alpha Garrett? I heard Selene helped with his condition,” Magnus asked. 

“Yes, she came into our lives like a blessing. She helped us and saved my husband. He’s still under observation.” 

I listened intently when she mentioned Alpha Garrett. It felt good knowing I’d helped him. 

“We should get going, Mrs. Thorne. Nice meeting you,” Magnus said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder again. 

I smiled at Mrs. Thorne and said goodbye. Magnus didn’t give her a chance to say anything else. 

“That loser and his family are nothing but trouble. If they hadn’t pressured you to stay, maybe this accident wouldn’t have happened,” Magnus muttered. 

“Come on, Magnus. Uncle Garrett and Mrs. Thorne are good people. They’ve treated me like their own daughter.” 

“Yeah, right,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. 

After climbing into the car, Magnus sat next to me and told his driver to take off. 

I glanced at my bag, which I’d left in my car the night before. 

Magnus caught my look and said, “They gave me your bag when I signed your discharge papers.” 

I unlocked my phone with my left hand. Right away, I saw tons of missed calls lighting up my screen. 

My parents, Magnus, Axel, and my kids – everyone had tried to reach me. 

Magnus peeked at my phone. “Don’t worry. I let everyone know I’m bringing you back.” 

“What about Luna and Leo? Did you tell them about the accident?”
