= Menu A smirk crept across Kane’s lips, and he shook his head, his voice dripping with a teasing edge.

“Selene Hawthorne, are you in heat again? Why are you trying to seduce a man who’s on the brink of death? If you’re saying you want to use me one more time, I’d still help you,” he said, his, grin widening slightly. “But my body’s not in great shape right now.

I’m afraid the poison might spread to you too.”

His tone was playful, but Selene could see the truth in his eyes–a deep, agonizing pain he couldn’t hide. She exhaled sharply, steadying herself, and then said something that made him freeze.

“Kane, mark me.”

The smirk vanished from his face instantly, replaced by shock. His brows furrowed as he stared at her, unable to believe what he had just heard. “What did you just say?”

Selene nodded, her expression serious. “Mark me,” she repeated. “You need to heal. If you mark me, I can give you my strength and heal your wounds.”

“No,” Kane said firmly, shaking his head. “No, I can’t. You have a life to live, Selene. You don’t need to tie yourself to me forever as ‘Alpha Kane’s mate.‘ A mate bond won’t save me.”

Selene scowled, her frustration evident. But before she could respond, her wolf surged forward, taking over. Her eyes glowed a bright, piercing blue as she spoke, her voice powerful and commanding.

“Then don’t forget who your mate is, Kane. I’m an Alpha too. Let me mark you. Your mate isn’t just an Alpha–she’s a healer. My blood is poison itself, and it can cure you. You don’t have a choice, Mate.”

Kane’s eyes flared red, his wolf rising to the surface at her words. The word “healer” echoed in his mind, stirring something primal within him.

But just as quickly as their wolves surfaced, their eyes returned to their natural colors. Kane shook his head, his voice filled with denial. “No, Selene. I can’t let you do this. I know you saved me before when we were kids, but you don’t have to sacrifice yourself for me again. I can’t let you force yourself to be my mate just to save my life.”

He reached out and grabbed her arm, gently but firmly moving her away from him. “I’m calling Storm,” he said. “My gamma will take you back to your pack safely.”

Selene’s wolf growled in protest. She was an Alpha too, and she wasn’t about to let him push her away. Before Kane could call for anyone, she moved closer, climbing onto his lap in one swift motion and straddling him.

Kane froze as the warmth of her bare body pressed against him. The blanket had slipped completely. leaving her lower body uncovered. His breath hitched as her scent filled the air, intoxicating him.

Her blue eyes glowed again as she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in close to his ear. Her voice was low and commanding as she whispered, “Keep quiet and let me mark you, Kane Thorne.”

Kane turned his head away, his voice breaking as he protested. “I can’t let this happen, Selene. I promised to free you from me.

How can I let you mark me and tie you to me again? You don’t love me- anymore.”

Selene cupped his cheeks with both hands, forcing him to look at her. Her eyes burned with anger and #7611

“Has the poison spread to your brain too?” she snapped. “Why do you think I came here? To watch you die? Can’t you see it, Kane? I still love you!”

Kane’s entire body stiffened. Her words hit him like a bolt of lightning, and for a moment, it felt as though all the pain and agony had vanished. He stared at her, his voice barely above a whisper. “You... still love me?”

Selene’s thumb brushed softly against his cheek as she nodded. “Yes, I still love you, you crazy man. All these years, you lingered in my heart. Now that I’ve come to you, you’re acting like an idiot.” Kane drew a shaky breath, his gaze never leaving hers. “But I have to ask... will my poison hurt you?” “No,” she replied firmly.

“And...” he hesitated, a sly grin forming on his lips. “What about my proposal?”

Selene narrowed her eyes at him. “You’re taking advantage of the situation now. You cunning man.” His smirk widened. “Since you love me too, I think I deserve to take a little advantage, don’t you?” Selene couldn’t help but smile, relieved to see a spark of the old Kane returning. “What about your proposal?” she asked softly, her tone teasing now.

Kane cupped her face in his hands and leaned in, his lips brushing hers as he whispered, “Will you remarry me, Selene Hawthorne?”

Selene lowered her head, a blush creeping up her cheeks. “Yes,” she replied softly. “I will.”

The moment the words left her lips, Kane’s control snapped. His lips crashed against hers in a heated, passionate kiss. His hands gripped her waist, pulling her closer as if he couldn’t get enough of her.

But just as he prepared to deepen the kiss, Selene placed her hands on his chest and gently pushed him back.

“What’s wrong-” Kane began, but his words were cut off by a groan as Selene tilted her head and pressed her lips to his neck.

Her canines emerged, sharp and ready, and without hesitation, she bit down, marking him as hers.
