    Everyone in the room stared at Selene, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief. The princess of the Iron Crown Pack-here, in this pack? Their eyes swept over her, taking in her appearance.


    She had once been a formidable figure, a dignified woman whomanded respect as she managed her brother''s packpany. Back then, her presence alone was enough to captivate those around her. She radiated an aura of strength, her icy demeanor sparking a primal challenge in Alphas, stirring their desire to make her submit. But none had ever seeded.


    Now, however, the woman before them was a shadow of her former self. She looked fragile, diminished. Her slightly disheveled hair and the simple, modest dress she wore painted a stark contrast to the powerful businesswoman they once negotiated deals with. She was no longer the force that once shaped the business world. Instead, she was just a woman delivering coffee. The case in her hands was irrefutable proof of that.


    The Alphas seated around the table-leaders of their respective packs-wore identical expressions of surprise.


    Selene, aware of their scrutiny, met Kane''s gaze directly. She could feel the weight of their stares, sense the way they were sizing her up. Kane arched a brow at her before shifting his attention to the gathered Alphas, who were still staring.


    "Selene?" His deep voice resonated through the room, cutting through the silence.


    Immediately, the other Alphas turned their heads toward him, waiting for his reaction.


    Selene let out a quiet chuckle. This man never fails to disappoint me, she thought bitterly. He called me here just to humiliate me in front of them. Her fists clenched at her sides.


    One of the Alphas finally spoke, his voiceced with confusion.


    "Miss Selene, what are you doing here? You know this is the pack that defeated yours. I''m curious- why would you choose to stay here?"


    Kane''s expression darkened instantly. His jaw tensed, and his voice dropped into a dangerous tone.


    "Sounds like you''re volunteering your pack to be next."


    The Alpha''s eyes widened in rm, and he immediately lowered his head. He had only asked a simple question-he hadn''t expected Kane to react so aggressively. He had worked with Selene''spany before, and he knew the kind of woman she was. In his eyes, she had never been someone who would


    submit to anyone.


    Kane turned his gaze back to her. "Miss Selene, what are you doing here?"


    Selene could see the flicker of anger in his eyes. But why? Why was he pretending to be upset? Wasn''t this exactly what he wanted? To see her humiliated in front of these men?


    Lifting her hand, she ced the coffee case onto the table.


    "Alpha, your coffee."

    Kane''s eyes flicked down to the case, his frown deepening. When he looked back at her, she met his gaze with a cold smile.


    ncing around at the gathered Alphas, Selene addressed them smoothly.


    "Hello, everyone. It''s nice to see you all again. I apologize for interrupting your meeting. Please,


    continue."


    For a fleeting moment, the room caught a glimpse of the Selene they had once known-the woman who hadmanded power and respect.


    Without another nce at Kane, Selene turned on her heel and walked toward the door, leaving behind a room full of confused Alphas.
