The moment Selene admitted she had drugged me that night, I froze. Her words hit me like a punch to the gut, but it wasn’t just her confession that left me shaken–it was the way her deep blue eyes glowed with the fiery presence of her wolf. For a brief second, I caught a glimpse of her wolf’s fur in her gaze, and it threw me off balance.

I frowned, confused. Shouldn’t I be the one consumed with rage right now? This woman had just admitted to drugging me, yet she stood there with an unsettling calmness, almost mocking me.

“Happy? You know the truth now,” she said, a bitter laugh escaping her lips, the sound hollow and sharp.

Her arms crossed over her chest, and she continued, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Now let me live my own life. If marrying you destroyed your life, consider this my apology. If I’m a sinner, then marrying you was the biggest sin of my life. I know you hate me for it–and believe me, Kane, I regret the day I ever met you.”

Her words sliced through me, but what truly caught me off guard were the tears glinting in the corners of her eyes. She was holding them back, refusing to let them fall, and she was doing it with flawless control. For a moment, the fierce, determined woman who had nearly ripped my heart out on the battlefield was gone. In her place stood someone raw and broken–a woman who had clearly endured far more than I ever realized.

I clenched my jaw, fighting the unexpected stir of emotion in my chest as I stared at her tearful face. Her pain shouldn’t matter to me. It didn’t matter to me. But in that moment, it was impossible to ignore.
