Selene's eyes sharpened, her gaze turning cold as she stared at Nyx. The young woman's laughter, light and carefree, broke the tension.

"Look at your face, Sister," Nyx said with a playful tone. "I was just joking. Don't worry, he's all yours. I had no idea he was the Alpha Kane we've always heard about when I took care of him."

Selene didn't relax, her expression unchanging. She wasn't naive-there was something deliberate in Nyx's words, a hidden edge beneath the surface. But before she could respond, Kane's deep voice cut through the room like a blade.

"My wife doesn't appreciate that kind of joke. Don't ever do it again."

His words sent a wave of relief washing over Selene. The knot in her chest loosened, and her heart steadied. For a moment, her fears-the ones that whispered he might betray her like Ruby had-began

to subside.

Nyx froze, turning to face Kane. His intense, dark eyes pinned her in place, and she immediately looked away, her confidence faltering under his piercing gaze. She turned back to Selene, her voice trembling.

"Please tell him not to kill me. I didn't mean to offend you, Sister. I'm sorry."

Tears welled up in Nyx's emerald eyes, and Selene found herself blinking in surprise. Her initial judgment of the young woman wavered. Was this girl truly as innocent as she appeared?

Before Selene could respond, Nyx suddenly stepped forward and hugged her tightly. Selene stiffened, startled by the unexpected gesture, as the woman whispered in her ear.

"I treated him for weeks, but he tried to kill me once. Please, tell him not to kill me."

The sincerity in Nyx's voice, her quiet plea, softened Selene's heart just a little. The way Nyx clung to her was almost childlike, and it made Selene wonder if Nyx's earlier behavior was simply her way of interacting with everyone. Perhaps her actions toward Kane had been misunderstood. Selene gently raised her hand and patted Nyx's back.

"Relax. He won't hurt you," Selene said softly.
