I was convinced Selene would regret leaving me. She’d come crawling back home soon enough. Sol didn’t 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 she’d return here helpless and defeated. I couldn’t 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 girl’s 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 wasn’t Ruby, but Selene!

I bolted upright in bed, wide awake.

It wasn’t just a dream – 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 father’s only heir and future pack leader made me a target – other Alphas wanted me dead.

I headed straight for the shower.
