Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Chapter62 +5Bonus Menu Selene froze at his question. The head wound made it impossible to even turn and look at her hand through the pain.

She slowly raised her hand to see what Kane was talking about.

The moment she saw the scar, her breath caught in her throat.

Why was the scar visible now after being hidden for so many years? Had something happened to her body? Why couldn’t she conceal it anymore?

She didn’t want to discuss it. The past had no place in her present life.

She’d never regretted what happened. But bringing it up now would only make everything more complicated. After all these years, she’d chosen to lock those memories away.

“I–I was attacked by rogues,” she managed to say. “W–woke up with no memory of it.”

“Whe-”

A car horn cut Kane off mid–word. He turned to see Finn had arrived with an ambulance following behind.

Finn leaped out of his car, taking in the wreckage on the road.

“Holy shit!” Finn exclaimed when he saw Selene’s condition.

Kane wasted no time. Instead of the ambulance, he rushed to Finn’s car, holding Selene close as he slid into the backseat.

Finn moved to shut the back door after them.

Selene lifted a shaking hand.

“M–my driver.”

Finn understood immediately. He nodded reassuringly.

“They’re helping him now. Try not to worry.”

Within minutes, the paramedics extracted the unconscious driver.

“He’s alive and breathing,” Finn reported to Selene as he got behind the wheel.

The throbbing in her head became too much, and Selene’s eyes drifted shut.

Kane studied her face, lost in thought. He gently traced the scar on her hand.

‘She claims rogues attacked her. But when? After she left my pack? I never saw this scar when she was with me,‘ Kane wondered.

Questions swirled in his mind, demanding answers. But they would have to wait.

Finn pulled up outside the pack hospital where Dr. Nathan and his medical team were already waiting.

thanks to Finn’s advance call.

Kane got out and circled the car, lifting Selene once more.

Dr. Nathan’s eyes widened at the sight of blood on both Selene’s head and hand. The staff 13.05 43.99%

Menu While they took her to surgery, Kane waited outside. Dr. Nathan had mentioned she’d need stitches in her head.

“Kane, I know you’re tough and all, but those glass cuts could get infected,” Beta Finn pointed out.

Kane looked down at his bleeding hands. The broken window had sliced up his right arm, and his left palm was torn up.

He remembered losing his balance trying to stop Selene’s car, cutting himself on his own car window.

His black shirt hid the bloodstains – Selene’s blood from casual observation.

–

He exhaled deeply. Never in his life had he felt such raw fear. He never wanted to experience anything like this again.

Finn watched Kane for a moment. Seeing that his Alpha wasn’t going to tend to his wounds, he flagged down a passing nurse and asked her to treat him.

The nurse swallowed nervously before the Head Alpha but gestured for Kane to follow her to an exam room.

Finn had to practically push Kane to get his hands bandaged.

Thirty minutes later, Dr. Nathan emerged from the operating room to find Kane waiting.

“She’s lucky – minimal body trauma. The head injury will take about a week to heal from the stitches.”

Kane peered toward the operating room. “Is she okay?”

Nathan was taken aback by the concern in Alpha Kane’s voice. He’d never seen this side of him before. During their marriage, Kane had always been cold and indifferent toward Selene.

“Yes, she’s fine. She lost some blood, but the head wounds didn’t affect her memory. She’s very fortunate.”

Finn stood behind Kane, observing everything carefully.

“Thank you, Dr. Nathan,” Finn said, knowing his Alpha wasn’t one for expressing gratitude.

“When will she wake up?” Kane asked.

“We’re keeping her sedated because of the fresh stitches. She should wake in a few hours. You can see her tomorrow – she’ll be under observation until then.”
