I choked on my water when I heard his question, coughing and patting my chest in frustration.

“What’s wrong? Hit a nerve?” Kane’s icy tone only made me cough harder, tears forming in my eyes. I downed the entire glass of water, trying to soothe my burning throat.

I slammed the glass on the table, glaring at Kane. Should I end him right here? Would revenge make me feel better? This man deserved nothing. His position as Alpha had only made him more arrogant. Maybe I should kill him now and free the pack members from their fear.

He took a long drag from his cigarette while watching me, his dark stare warning me that one wrong word would trigger another cruel comment.

“Don’t worry about who their father is. Because it’s not you,” I said, standing up.

I could see the rage burning in his eyes as he fought to control his temper.

“I came for your dad. I’m heading back to my pack tonight,” I reminded him.

“If my parents knew what their precious ex–daughter–in–law did during those two years, they’d hate you.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Alpha Kane, you need to move on. I’m not your wife anymore. Let go of the past where you claim I ruined your life. Focus on Ruby.” My voice dripped with sarcasm, though I knew it wouldn’t affect him. That’s exactly what he’d do anyway.

“About that rejection ceremony you’re planning – count me out,” I told him.

I grabbed my phone and turned to leave when it started ringing. It was Axel. I answered while heading for the door. “Hey, Axel.”

This time, Kane didn’t try to stop me. My heart felt heavy as I left the cafeteria.

“You okay?” Axel asked.

“Yeah.”
