Chapter 431: Chapter 432

Chapter 432 Selene’s piercing gaze lingered on him for what felt like an eternity after his words. Kane, unable to meet her eyes, closed his own and rested the back of his head against the wall. He made no move to escape her grip, accepting her anger in silence.

“You are such a weak man, Kane,” Selene scoffed bitterly, finally releasing his throat.

Her eyes shifted back to their natural black, as though her wolf, despite her fury, could not bring herself to harm her mate any longer. Taking a deliberate step back, she turned away from him and walked toward the nightstand.

Kane opened his eyes just in time to see her grabbing her phone.

“What are you doing?” he asked cautiously, his voice low and uncertain.

“I’m calling Magnus,” she replied without hesitation, her tone sharp and resolute.

Kane’s brows furrowed in alarm. In an instant, he rushed over and snatched the phone from her hand.

“You can’t call him. You can’t drag your family into this. This is between us–it’s a private matter,” he said firmly.

Selene’s eyes widened at his words, disbelief flashing across her face. The rage she had been trying to suppress boiled over again, spilling out like a storm.

“Private matter?” she said, her voice eerily calm, though her eyes betrayed the depth of her pain. “Do you really think this is still private? A woman is pregnant with your child, Kane.”

Her calmness terrified him more than her fury ever could. Her tone was steady, almost zen–like, but he knew her well enough to recognize the storm brewing beneath the surface.

“You have every right to punish me for my actions,” Kane said, his voice softening. “But we can resolve this–together.”

“Resolve it? How? By killing that woman? Should I be the one to do it? Should I tear her apart with my own claws?” she snapped, her voice rising as her teeth clenched.

“If that’s what you want, then-” Kane began, but his words were cut off by the sharp sting of her palm against his cheek.

The slap echoed in the room, and Kane shut his eyes tightly, his fists clenching at his sides.

Selene glared at him, her voice trembling with both fury and heartbreak. “That woman is carrying your baby, Kane, and you just agreed to kill her? What about the child? Is this who you are? This is exactly why I left you all those years ago. You would have done the same to me.”

Kane’s eyes snapped open, and he turned to face her, shaking his head desperately.

“I would never have done that to you. You are my woman, Selene. I could never even think of it.”

Selene let out a bitter, humorless laugh. Her eyes shimmered with tears, but they only made her look more unhinged. Her pain was raw, consuming her from the inside out.

Without another word, she snatched her phone back from his hand and stormed toward the closet. Kane followed her, his eyes narrowing as he saw the luggage near the closet door. His heart sank * 09:39 80.99%

Menu Selene turned her head to glare at him, her voice colder than winter’s frost. “Let go of me. I’m leaving you. Forever. I’ll never come back.”

Kane shook his head frantically, stepping closer. His hands cupped her face, his calm demeanor shattering into desperation.

“Please, Selene. Don’t leave me. Trust me–I didn’t know. I swear I didn’t. I was unconscious, and...” He swallowed hard, his words faltering as he searched for something–anything–that might reach her.

Selene shoved his hands away, forcing him to stagger back.

“I don’t want to be with a weak man like you,” she hissed. “Are you even a real Alpha? You’ve relied on women to save you time and time again. I saved your life not once, but twice. And apparently, that wasn’t enough. Now, another woman swoops in to ‘help‘ you, and she ends up pregnant? Just incredible. I wonder how she helped you. Did she ‘help‘ by satisfying your desires?”

“Selene!” Kane’s voice rose, but she cut him off with a furious shout.

“Shut up!”

Gripping her luggage tightly, Selene marched toward the door. Her voice was steady but dripping with disdain as she turned to deliver her final words.

“After everything you’ve done, you still have the nerve to stand in front of me? You’re shameless, Kane. I will never forgive you for this. I regret ever remarrying you.”
