The older man looked utterly defeated–like a father who had already lost too much and had nothing left but the desperate plea to protect what remained.

“I’ve already lost one child,” Malcolm said, his voice heavy with grief. “I can’t lose another.”

Kane’s grip tightened around the doorknob. A cold sensation spread through his chest, numbing him from the inside out.

As the former head of the pack, he had even maintained a good relationship with Kane’s father, Alpha Garrett.

From that moment on, Malcolm had severed all ties with Kane’s pack.

Kane’s steps faltered as he turned his head, catching sight of her. His fingers curled slightly, recalling the photograph he had found in the study. He hadn’t returned it to her father. Instead, he had slipped it into his pocket, holding onto it like a silent reminder of everything he had done to her.
