Chapter 158 – Selene Confronts Dr. Kane

Frederic

Well this is interesting. I didn’t think Selene had it in her to stand up for herself, clearly the betas and Drake have been a worse influence on her than I realized. On the other hand, she is here, and that gives as an opportunity to help her see the error of her ways.

“What do you mean?” I ask, spreading my hands in front of me and inviting her to continue.

“Don’t give me that.” Selene snaps, “You just publicly challenged my husband.”

Goodness, she can be feisty when she wants to. My wolf growls.

Just another bad habit to train out of her. I think back. There were always bound to be a few.

And look, she looks much better, she must have figured out about the pills. My wolf points out, sounding even more irritated than before.
