Chapter 60

Third Person

Kane kept his eyes on the road as he followed Selene’s car. He wasn’t sure why he was tailing her, but when his mom said she was leaving, something inside him wouldn’t let her go.

How dare she leave his pack without his permission?

The first few raindrops hit his windshield without warning. Looking up, he saw dark clouds gathering overhead.

“Great, rain,” he muttered.

Water slicked the asphalt, and thunder cracked across the sky. Kane fixed his eyes on the red taillights of Selene’s car ahead.

While driving, he tried calling her. He needed answers – needed to understand why she was leaving. Something felt wrong about all this.

Each time she rejected his call, his anxiety grew. This woman was driving him crazy.

“Why won’t she pick up the damn phone?” His knuckles went white as he gripped the steering wheel harder.

The winter rain created a thick blanket of fog, turning the road into a hazardous maze of limited visibility.

Every argument they’d had this week played through his mind. Her harsh words hung in his thoughts like the heavy clouds above.

“Does she really think I can’t stop her?” He growled, pressing down on the gas.

Meanwhile, Selene stared at her phone screen, watching Kane’s calls come in one after another.

She couldn’t figure out what he wanted, but she didn’t owe him anything anymore. She wasn’t part of his pack, and he wasn’t her Alpha.

She turned off her phone and shoved it in her bag. The last thing she wanted was to talk to him.

“Please get me home quickly,” she told her driver.

He caught her eye in the rearview mirror. “Yes, Miss. I’m going as fast as I safely can.”

She nodded and turned to watch the rain–streaked window.

From the backseat, Selene watched the world blur past. The events of the past week flooded her mind, strengthening her resolve never to return to this pack.

The raindrops tracking down the window mirrored her mood. The sudden storm seemed fitting – as chaotic as her life had become.

Like this gloomy weather, her life was full of fog and uncertainty.

She’d come to help Alpha Garrett, and she’d succeeded. Now it was time to return home – to her children.

Her twins‘ behavior toward their father troubled her.

One question kept nagging at her: “What happens when they learn the truth about their relationship?
