= Menu Edmund was our butler who looked after them, along with some maids who helped Luna with dressing and bathing.

"He's right here," Leo pointed off-screen.

Edmund came into view and gave a polite bow.

"Madam Selene, please don't worry. They're in good hands."

"I'll be back in a few days. Stay with them until then," I told him.

Leo pouted, "Mom, we miss you."

He looked so much like his father. I lived in constant fear that someday Kane would discover Leo and Luna.

What would I do then? I couldn't lose my children. They were my only reason for living.

"Baby, Mom will be back before you know it," I promised.

We talked for about an hour, them telling me about their day. I reminded them to spend time with their grandparents and enjoy themselves.

Just as I was getting ready for bed, someone knocked. Thinking it was Axel from next door, I opened it saying, "What's up, Axel-"

I froze. Kane stood there, his dark eyes blazing with anger.

"You?" I whispered.

In a flash, he pushed me inside and closed the door behind him.

Before I could process what was happening, he had me pressed against the door. "Axel, huh?" he growled.

His sudden move left me stunned.

'What's wrong with you? Why are you here?" I tried pushing him away.

He gripped my arms tighter, holding me in place.

"What were you telling my dad about going to Iron Crown Pack? Is it because of that Beta Axel?"

His jaw was clenched, rage rolling off him in waves that almost scared me.

"Alpha Kane, you're crossing a line. Let me go."

"Let you go? So you can run to Axel?"

"What do you want?" I demanded.

I couldn't understand why he was even here. All I knew was that he hated me more than anyone.

His anger didn't fade one bit.

"Are you with him now?" he asked in a low, controlled voice.

"Why do you care-"

"Yes or no."

I took a deep breath, deciding to lie. Maybe it would finally make him leave me alone.

"Yes. I'm with Axel," I said.

I thought that would make him leave.

Menu Instead, he let out a growl that made me tremble. I'd never felt this kind of submission to any alpha before. Why only Kane?

"Just get out of my room. I don't want to talk anymore-"

My words cut off as he gripped the back of my neck and crushed his lips against mine.
