Chapter 9 Kane Get 5>
Menu I was convinced Selene would regret leaving me. Sheâd come crawling back home soon enough. Sol didnât let it bother me much after I got home.
I was in a foul mood, though. Dad had really laid into me after Selene left the pack house.
I was furious with her. I just waited for tomorrow morning, when sheâd return here helpless and defeated. I couldnât wait to see the look on her face.
That night, I had a dream.
I was kidnapped by some thugs, and then I heard a girlâs voice calling out to me. She rescued me from danger and treated my wounds with medicinal herbs. I kept trying to see her face, and this time, I finally did it wasnât Ruby, but Selene!
I bolted upright in bed, wide awake.
It wasnât just a dream â it was a nightmare about my past.
When I was a kid, my father had to protect me constantly since we had enemies everywhere. Being my fatherâs only heir and future pack leader made me a target â other Alphas wanted me dead.
Once, one of my fatherâs rivals actually managed to kidnap me.
The trauma was still fresh, which was why it showed up in my dream.
Looking out the window, I realized it was already late morning. âIâve never slept in this late,â I muttered.
What I saw in my dream couldnât be real. Ruby was the one who helped me back then. But Selene... that woman had gotten into my head. Iâd make her pay when she came back.
I headed straight for the shower.
When I came out, I expected to find my suit laid out on the couch. But there were no clothes waiting for me.
âSelene!â I yelled, ready to ask why she hadnât set out my clothes yet. I was already running late.
Then it hit me. She wasnât here.
I grabbed a suit from the closet and got dressed. My eyes caught sight of a card on the nightstand. âShe didnât take my credit card,â I thought.
I went to the living room and called all the servants together.
âWhereâs Selene?â I asked, sitting at the table.
Wren was setting the table. She bowed and said, âLuna left yesterday and hasnât returned.â
That made my blood boil. I turned to my security team and ordered, âCheck all surveillance cameras near the pack house.â
I couldnât eat after that â my appetite was gone.
An hour later, security reported back: âWe found footage of her heading toward the forest area.â
I watched that footage countless times. She looked disoriented, standing in the middle of the road 08:45 11.25%
Menu One day, Beta Finn came to my house. I thought he had news about Selene, but he was there to discuss pack business, which I couldnât care less about.
Finn gave me a knowing smile. âKane, do you regret letting Selene go?â
His question caught me off guard, but I answered immediately. âNo.â
