Selene immediately yanked her hand away as Kane tried to pull her toward the door. Her brows furrowed, and she snapped, "What's wrong with you?"
Kane froze, his hand left hanging in the air where hers had been just moments ago. His jaw tightened as he lowered his hand, glancing at her. Selene, on the other hand, was trying to figure out what he was doing here, barging into her place of work.
"Selene, I need to talk to you. Now," Kane said, his voice low, his teeth gritted. He wasn't angry at her- he was angry at himself. He'd lost control of his emotions the moment he saw her. All he wanted was to tell her the truth he'd finally learned.
Selene opened her mouth to yell at him but stopped short. She glanced around the shop and noticed that all eyes were on them. Taking a deep breath, she forced a small, apologetic smile and addressed the customers. “Guys, please enjoy your coffee."
Kane's gaze didn't waver from her. She was smiling at everyone else but treating him like a stranger. His chest tightened at the thought.
Before he could say anything more, a young man stood up from one of the nearby tables and approached them.
"Mr..." the boy hesitated, giving Kane a once-over before continuing, “Mr. Businessman, I don't know who you are, but stop bothering her."
Kane's frown deepened, recognizing the boy from earlier-the one who'd been joking outside his car.
Selene's eyes widened as she turned to the boy. "Elias, what are you doing? Go back to your table," she said quietly, her tone sharp but calm. Elias was a regular customer at the coffee shop, and she hadn't expected him to step in like this.
Elias crossed his arms and spoke with conviction. "Selene, you don't know these kinds of businessmen. They love to play with young girls. Don't worry-I'll protect you."
Selene almost laughed out loud at his bold claim, but she quickly bit her lip and glanced at Kane. His expression was cold, his dark eyes fixed on Elias with an intensity that could freeze fire. She pressed her lips together, trying to suppress her laughter. The last thing she wanted was to provoke Kane even further.
Turning to the other customers, she raised her voice slightly, forcing a cheerful tone. "Don't worry, everyone. He's just an old friend of mine."
Elias squinted at her, clearly unconvinced. "Are you sure?" he asked hesitantly.
Selene gave him a reassuring smile. She appreciated his protective instincts-he was the kind of guy who would step in if he thought a woman was in trouble. She patted his arm lightly. "Yes, I'm sure. Go back to your table."
Kane's sharp eyes followed the motion of her hand as it gently patted Elias's arm. His anger simmered, threatening to boil over.
"Bro, sorry for misunderstanding you," Elias said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "You know

how beautiful she is. I was just... insecure."
Selene lightly smacked Elias's arm, rolling her eyes. "Go back, Elias."
He chuckled and walked back to his table, where his friends greeted him with grins and enthusiastic thumbs-ups, as if he'd just won a battle.
Kane's glare followed Elias all the way across the shop, though the boy didn't seem to notice. Selene cleared her throat, trying to redirect Kane's attention back to her.
She hadn't anticipated Elias saying something so ridiculous. She thought of him like a little brother- nothing more. Sure, he'd left her love notes a few times, but she'd ignored them, assuming he understood there was no possibility of anything between them.
Still, Kane's stern, unyielding gaze on Elias was making everyone uncomfortable.
"Can you just leav-" she began, but her words died in her throat when Kane turned his piercing eyes
on her.
Selene swallowed hard, suddenly reminded of who Kane was. He wasn't just anyone-he was the he ad Alpha, and she was no longer in the Iron Crown Pack. Her tone softened as she forced an awkward
smile.
"Alpha, what do you want to talk to me about?" she asked quietly.
