I’d never been good at showing my parents how much I cared for them. Today, with my father in surgery, I couldn’t focus on anything else.

My eyes drifted to Selene, who was pacing outside the operating room.

I’d been watching her all day. What surprised me most was how genuinely worried she seemed about my father. This was the same woman who supposedly hated me and my family.

My mom told me how Selene had been going to the pack house, helping with Dad’s medications and making sure he ate properly.

I couldn’t figure out how she knew so much about medical care.

In the past five years, I’d never seen my parents as happy as they were with Selene around.

There was no changing their minds about her. In their eyes, she was the perfect daughter–in–law.

“Your staring is getting obvious.”

Finn’s voice came from beside me. I turned my attention to him, breaking my gaze from Selene.

“What’s your problem?” I snapped.

Finn shook his head. “Nothing. Just noticed you haven’t taken your eyes off her. You’ll freak her out.”

I scoffed. Freak her out? If only he knew how bold she’d become lately.

“Ruby’s calling,” he muttered.

“How’s her hand?” I asked.

“Don’t you think she overreacted? That wound wasn’t even that deep.”

I shot him a glare.

He raised his eyebrows. “Hey, I’m just saying what everyone’s thinking.”

“She nearly broke her hand.”

“Ruby’s a Beta female. She could’ve broken free if she wanted to. Maybe she’s trying to get your sympathy?”

Finn’s words made me think back to that day. I’d seen Selene twisting Ruby’s arm while Ruby just stood there crying.

I wasn’t stupid. Ruby was strong enough to break free. When I asked her about it, she said she wanted to show me her vulnerable side.

I couldn’t understand why Selene would torture Ruby like that.

Ruby was innocent. She’d risked her life for me years ago. She’d been through hell protecting me. Selene’s hatred toward her made no sense.

And the way Selene had spoken to me in that room that day – her arrogance was infuriating. I was sure
