Chapter 52: Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Get 5>

Menu Kane’s face contorted with rage at my words as I stormed out of the dining room, leaving everyone stunned.

The moment I stepped into the hallway, tears started streaming down my face. I was so worked up I had to get out of the pack house. I quickly called my driver for pickup and waited outside after wiping away my tears.

Kane was the only one who kept hurting me over and over. Why couldn’t he stop? Wasn’t the pain he caused five years ago enough?

I’d been wrong about myself. I thought I wasn’t some fragile girl who’d break down in front of him anymore. Even though I stood up to him today, his cruel words still cut deep.

Did he really think I’d orchestrated this whole thing just to frame Ruby?

But something Ruby said kept nagging at me. How did she get those screenshots? Was my foster father involved somehow? If so, why would he do that?

“Silly girl! Did you really think you could expose me with just a message?” Ruby’s voice came from behind me. I rolled my eyes without turning around.

Her heels clicked against the pavement as she approached. She tapped my shoulder, and I spun around, grabbing her hand.

She looked at me with pure contempt.

“How did it feel when Kane took my side? You should know by now he’ll always choose me over you.”

My blood boiled, but my wolf had different thoughts. She blamed this woman for keeping her from her mate. She tried to take over, but I held her back.

“Your precious Alpha will see your true colors soon enough,” I said, releasing her hand.

She laughed, her red lips curling into a smirk as she reached out to stroke my hair condescendingly.

“Oh, sweetie, you have no idea how much he loves me. I could make him kill you right now if I wanted.

But...”

She grabbed my hair and continued, “Don’t try to get close to him. He was never yours and never will be. Remember, he’s your ex–husband. The man who humiliated you countless times. Why would you even agree to help his father after everything?

You’re such a fool.”

The moment she finished, I twisted her arm behind her back. Her eyes widened in shock. She thought I was still the same pushover Selene, but I’d changed.

“Let go of me!” she yelled.

The nearby guards looked our way and rushed over, but stopped short when they recognized me. As Kane’s former wife, they knew better than to interfere.

I twisted her arm harder. Suddenly, she stopped struggling, which was odd, but I ignored it.

“You call me stupid? Let me tell you what I’ve wanted to say for years. You’re the bitch who ruined my marriage. But you’re not the only one I blame. My ex–husband is a cheating bastard who couldn’t stay faithful to his wife. You two deserve each other.”

It felt good to finally say it. Surprisingly, she didn’t react.

< Chapter 52 “K–Kane,” she whimpered.

Get 5 = Menu I turned to see Kane standing in the doorway, his face dark with fury.

“GET AWAY FROM HER!” he roared. I ignored him and twisted Ruby’s arm tighter out of spite.

Ruby screamed as if I’d broken her arm. I glanced down to see her hand turning red.

Kane rushed over, and I shoved her toward him. Ruby burst into tears. “M–my hand, K–Kane.”

Kane examined her hand like it was made of glass. He glared at me, then turned his rage on the guards, who immediately lowered their heads.

“You stood there watching this? You’re all fired.”

“A–Alpha!”

“Shut up! And you!” he turned back to me.

“How dare you hurt Ruby?”

Something snapped inside me, and I laughed bitterly.

“You heard everything I said to her, didn’t you? So, Alpha Kane, go to hell.”
