"Hey! Stop the car!" I shouted, my voice sharp with frustration.

"Are you deaf? I said stop the car!" I repeated, but the driver, just like his boss, ignored me completely. It was as if my words didn't even register.

I glanced at the man sitting beside me-Kane Thorne. A dangerous beast in human form, capable of ending my life without a second thought. My mind raced. Was this his plan? To kill me and take my children for himself? Was he that afraid of me? Afraid I might follow through with what I'd said that night-about killing him every single day in my head?

Lost in my spiraling thoughts, I was startled when his voice broke through the silence. It was low, calm, and impossibly soft.

"Why do you think I want to kill you?"

His tone caught me completely off guard. It wasn't the cold, commanding voice I was used to. It was almost... gentle.

"What the hell?" I thought, staring at him in disbelief. "Can Alpha Kane even talk like that?"

Turning to face him fully, I found him staring back at me, his gaze steady and unreadable.

"What are you looking at?" I snapped. "Can't you see I'm worried about your plans? Why do you want to kill me? Is it so you can have my children all to yourself? Well, guess what, Kane Thorne-you can't kill me. I'll kill you first."

My voice was sharp and biting, but I noticed the driver's reaction immediately. He stiffened in his seat, his hand drifting toward his waistband, undoubtedly reaching for a gun.

I bristled, ready to growl a warning at him, but before I could, Kane's deep voice sliced through the

tension.

"Keep driving," he ordered.

The driver froze, his hand stopping short of the weapon. He glanced at Kane through the rearview mirror, then gave a small nod and returned his focus to the road.

I couldn't believe it. Everyone in this pack seemed to carry a gun.

"Relax," Kane said, his tone almost amused. "I didn't order him to shoot you. He's my driver-of course, he's armed. It's for protection."

I clenched my jaw and kept quiet. There was no point arguing with him. Still, I wasn't completely defenseless. My wolf was ready to strike if necessary. I wasn't as skilled a fighter as Kane, but I could hold my own. If he came at me, I'd make sure to leave my mark on him-wounds he wouldn't forget.

"I should've killed him that night in the war," I muttered under my breath.

"You hate me, don't you?" Kane asked, his voice calm but probing.

"Of course," I replied flatly.

"How much?" he pressed, his gaze unwavering.

I turned my head, meeting his eyes. His expression had softened, and for a

moment, I thought I saw something there—something I couldn't quite decipher. But

I didn't want to waste my energy trying to figure it out.

"More than I love my children," I said coldly, my voice like ice.

His reaction was instant. His face darkened, his shock evident. He clearly hadn't expected that

answer.

I knew what was coming next. He'd ask why I hated him so much, why it wasn't the other way around -that he should be the one hating me. But before he could say anything, his next words caught me off guard.

"You should not forget who I am," he said, his tone laced with warning.

I let out a scoff, rolling my eyes. "Oh, don't worry, Alpha. I know exactly who you are," I said sarcastically.

I paused, then locked my gaze with his, my voice cold and deliberate. "You're my head Alpha. And let's not forget-you're my children's father and... my ex- husband."

The corner of his mouth twitched, but before I could read his expression, he leaned forward suddenly,

his face inches from mine.

"You forgot one thing," he said, his voice low and intimate, his breath warm against my skin.

I glared at him, refusing to flinch.

"I'm still your mate,” he murmured.
