A sleek black luxury car pulled up in front of an upscale villa. The driver stepped out and opened the back door.

“Miss Ruby, we’ve arrived at your residence,” the driver announced.

Ruby sat in the backseat, turning toward Kane, who was staring out the window, cigarette in hand.

“Kane, won’t you help me inside?” Ruby asked sweetly.

“Your legs work fine. It’s your hand that’s injured.” Kane’s voice was ice–cold.

Ruby swallowed hard at his tone. Though Kane had bought her this house five years ago, he’d never once set foot inside – something that would strike anyone as odd.

When she placed her left hand on his thigh, he paused mid–smoke. As he moved to push it away, his eyes fell on her bandaged right hand.

He slowly removed her hand and addressed his driver. “Help her inside.”

Ruby pouted, shaking her head. “I hope you’re going to do something about Selene. Look how badly she hurt me.”

Kane took a long drag from his cigarette. “Hmm. She’ll need to be dealt with.”

Satisfied with his response, Ruby got out. When the driver moved to assist her, she waved him off with her good hand.

“Should I stay to make sure she gets in okay, Alpha?” the driver asked, glancing at Kane.

Kane muttered.
