Chapter 336: Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Mers I blinked a few times, rereading the card as if the words might change. Who would send something like this?

“Who sent it?” Margot asked, stepping closer.

“I have no idea,” I murmured, still staring at the roses.

The delivery guy was a complete stranger–I hadn’t even gotten the chance to ask where the flowers came from. Grayson wasn’t even in the pack right now, which ruled him out.

“Judging by the way he bowed to you, I’d say it’s from the Alpha,” Margot speculated.

Her words made me freeze. I turned to her, searching her face.

“You really think so?”

“Yeah,” she answered without hesitation.

Everyone knew what Kane had done to his girlfriend. Margot was well aware that I was his ex–wife, so naturally, she assumed it had to be him.

My expression darkened as I lifted the bouquet, ready to toss it straight into the trash. But just as I moved, a small card slipped out from between the petals and fluttered to the floor.

Frowning, I bent down and picked it up.

“Don’t throw it away. I’m the one you should discard, not the roses. Next time we meet, if you want to fight me, I won’t stop you.

I’ll be waiting for that day.”

My fingers tightened around the card as I shut my eyes, frustration simmering beneath the surface.

Kane, what kind of nonsense is this? Do you really think this will make me forgive you?

Exhaling sharply, I shoved the bouquet into Margot’s hands.

“Give these out to the customers today. I don’t want them.”

Margot’s eyes widened in shock, and I could feel the other employees staring as well. Ignoring their reactions, I turned away and focused on work as the first few customers of the day trickled in.

The shop was unusually busy, which kept me distracted for most of the day. I forced smiles, kept my hands moving, and avoided any conversation about the flowers. But every time Margot pulled a rose from the bouquet, my mind drifted back to Kane’s message. There had to be over twenty roses in that arrangement.

As the evening rolled in, the other employees began packing up.

“We’re heading out, Selene,” one of them called.

“Got it,” I responded with a nod, my attention on balancing the day’s bills. Once they were gone, I secured the cash box as part of my usual closing routine.

Stepping outside, I locked up the shop and glanced at the sky. Heavy clouds loomed overhead, threatening an imminent downpour.

< Chapter 336 *5Bonds Menu For a moment, my mind wandered to that rainy night with Grayson. A quiet chuckle escaped my lips- sometimes, I could be so ridiculously sentimental.

Shaking off the thought, I walked toward the main road, scanning for a cab.

Just then, a sleek car pulled up beside me.

I turned my head, and my stomach twisted as I recognized the man stepping out.

“Kane?”

He looked calm, almost composed, but there was something desperate in his eyes.

“Selene, it’s going to rain soon. Get in the car. My driver will take you home,” he said, his voice controlled yet insistent.

I shot him a glare. “No need. And while we’re at it–why did you send that bouquet?”

His expression flickered. “Did you throw it away?”

“No,” I said flatly. “I gave it to the customers.”

For a split second, Kane looked genuinely stunned. But he recovered quickly, his face smoothing back into unreadable neutrality.

“I need to talk to you,” he said.

“But I don’t want to talk to you,” I snapped.

Without waiting for a response, I turned on my heel and strode forward. Spotting a cab approaching, I raised my hand and flagged it down.

As soon as I climbed inside and reached for the door handle, Kane appeared at the window, tapping against the glass.

I turned to see him motioning for me to roll it down.

I rolled my eyes instead. “Drive,” I told the cab driver, ignoring Kane completely.
