Kane slid his hands into his pockets, his expression radiating boredom as he surveyed the room.
"Stand up."
The group immediately straightened, though none dared to meet his gaze.
"If I catch any of you whispering again," Kane said in a low, threatening voice, "I'll rip your tongues out."
If anyone else had uttered such a threat, the younger pack members might have dismissed it as an empty warning. But this was Kane Thome-the Alpha of their pack. His reputation for brutality preceded him. Ignoring his words wasn't an option. Silently, they returned to their seats, their attention. snapping back to the meeting.
Selene, standing off to the side, was already reeling from the sight of Kane issuing orders to Margot. But what truly stunned her was how quickly the pack members obeyed. She could see both fear and respect etched into their faces. No wonder they hadn't recognized Kane at first-just as she had failed to. He had masked his scent, concealing his identity.
"Thank you, Alpha," Margot said, bowing slightly in deference.
"Your gratitude is useless to me," Kane replied coldly.
Margot flinched at his words, the sharpness in his tone catching her off guard. But before she could respond, Kane continued.
"Give your employee the rest of the day off."
"Selene?" Margot's gaze flicked to Selene, who stood behind Kane, shaking her head furiously in silent protest. But under Kane's icy glare, Margot swallowed hard. Refusing him was not an option. She assumed Selene had already come to terms with the fact that Alpha Kane was someone from her past -a friend who wouldn't harm her.
"Of course," Margot said with a strained smile.
Selene shut her eyes
trying to suppress the anger bubbling within her. She couldn't cause a scene, not in front of the entire pack.
Without warning, Kane turned toward her and grabbed her hand, his grip firm and unyielding. He didn't even bother to ask for her permission.
"Let's go," he ordered.
Selene noticed a few girls in the room snapping pictures on their phones. Kane didn't seem to care, and she had no chance to stop them or warn them not to post the photos.
"Alpha, where are you taking me?" she asked, her voice tight with frustration as she tried to pull her
hand free.
Once they stepped outside the shop, Kane continued dragging her along, ignoring her protests. He led her straight to his car, opened the back door, and gestured for her to get in.
"Get inside," he said firmly.
"What?" Selene stared at him, confusion clear on her face.

"Don't make me force you," Kane replied, his voice calm but edged with warning, "I just want to talk. Nothing else."
For a moment, she hesitated, her eyes narrowing as she studied him. Something about his expression was off. His dark eyes seemed to shift, clouds of emotion swirling just beneath the surface. She couldn't figure out what had him so worked up. Could it really be excitement at the thought of humiliating her?
Her stomach twisted with unease. Shaking her head, she climbed into the car, thinking to herself, 'Is
this about Leo and Luna?'
Kane followed her into the backseat, closing the door behind him. The driver glanced at them in the rearview mirror, his hesitation clear, but he didn't dare voice a question.
"To Duskrun River," Kane instructed.
The driver immediately started the car, not daring to delay.
Selene turned to Kane, her brow furrowed. "Duskrun River? Why are you taking me there?"
Kane met her gaze but didn't answer, his silence only fueling her irritation. She couldn't make sense of his behavior. Just two days ago, he had avoided her like the plague, acting as though he couldn't stand the sight of her. And now, here he was, barging into her workplace and dragging her away.
"Wait a second," she muttered, glaring at him. "Are you planning to throw me into the river?"
