Menu Selene pressed her lips together, realizing there was nothing left to argue about. Accompanying him to the pack hospital wouldnât hurt herâat least, thatâs what she told herself.
Kane slid into the seat beside her, and the driver pulled away, heading toward their destination.
The ride was quiet. Selene kept her gaze locked on the passing scenery outside the window, refusing to acknowledge the man sitting next to her.
Meanwhile, Kaneâs eyes never left her. If a small injury was all it took to keep her close, he wouldnât mind getting hurt every single day.
His gaze dropped to his palm. The wound should have healed by now, but he had deliberately suppressed his wolfâs natural healing ability. His wolf didnât seem to mindâit was just as eager as he was to be near their mate.
When the car rolled to a stop in front of the pack hospital, Selene wasted no time stepping out first. As she turned, she saw Kane following her, his movements unhurried.
Inside, hushed murmurs rippled through the waiting area. Some people immediately recognized them, while others only cast curious glances, trying to piece things together.
Kane, however, paid them no mind. The only thing that mattered to him was Seleneâs presence beside him.
His mood was so light that he hadnât even noticed the smirk tugging at his lipsâuntil Seleneâs irritated whisper broke the silence.
âStop grinning like an idiot. People are staring.â
Kane bit his bottom lip to stifle a chuckle, but his amusement was obvious.
Selene shot him a sharp glare. âHave you lost your mind? Whatâs so funny?â
Releasing his lip, he cleared his throat. âIâm the head Alpha. Why should I care if people are watching?â
She narrowed her eyes, folding her arms across her chest. âYouâre doing this on purpose, arenât you? You want people to see us together so Grayson will find out.â
The moment that name left her lips, Kaneâs expression shifted. His gaze darkened, and for a brief second, his wolf clawed at the surface, itching to let out a growl.
But he forced himself to stay composed. He wasnât in a position to claim herâyet.
Without a word, he turned and continued walking toward the reception desk. Selene followed, suspicion flickering in her eyes.
The moment the staff recognized him, a nurse hurriedly ushered him toward a private examination room.
Selene remained by his side as a doctor carefully bandaged his palm.
âAlpha, this is the first time weâve seen you injured. Is your wolf alright? Should we call Dr. Nathan for a full checkup?â The doctorâs voice carried a hint of nervousness.

Menu Before she could take another step, Kaneâs fingers wrapped around her wrist, pulling her back.
She gasped softly as the sudden force brought her flush against his chest.
His demeanor shifted again, his usual sharpness replaced with a calm, almost intimate intensityâan expression he seemed to reserve just for her.
âYou can see my right hand is bandaged,â he murmured, tilting his head slightly. âHow am I supposed to eat dinner like this? Iâm starving.â
Seleneâs eyes widened slightly. It hit her thenâthis man had planned everything.
âLet go of me,â she said, her voice low with warning. âMy boyfriend wonât be happy if he finds out Iâm taking care of my exâ
husband.â
Kane let out a deep chuckle, completely unfazed by the mention of Grayson.
Leaning in, his breath brushed against her ear as he whispered, âI donât care if you have a boyfriend. We can always have a little secret, baby.â
