    Selene felt her ws sink in, only to notice the cracks forming along her nails. Blood stained them, but she couldn''t tell if it was Kane''s or her own. A dull ache pulsed through her fingertips, adding to her


    confusion.


    Her gaze snapped back to Kane.


    "Tell me who are you? How did you do that?"


    For a long moment, Kane simply stared at her, his expression unreadable. Then, his eyes darkened to a deep, eerie red.


    "I''m your mate, sweetheart," he said, a smirk tugging at his lips.


    Ignoring the stinging pain in her nails, she fixed him with a hard stare. "Don''t y games with me. How did you stop me? What did you do? Show me."


    She stepped forward, gripping his shirt before tearing it open with a sharp yank. Buttons scattered across the hardwood floor, the sound echoing in the quiet room. Kane froze at her sudden move, but she was too focused on uncovering the truth. No one had ever been able to stop her like that-she needed to know what he was hiding.


    But as soon as her eyesnded on his bare chest, her hands hesitated, still clutching the torn fabric. Deep scars marred his skin, the remnants of old wounds-wounds left by her ws. They were right


    over his heart, a chilling reminder of how close she hade to ripping it out.


    Kane scoffed. "What''s going through that wild little mind of yours? Didn''t realize when you said you had a temper, you meant this."


    His teasing pulled her out of her thoughts. With a sharp breath, she let go of his shirt. His wound hadn''t healed, just like her own. She tore her gaze away from his chest, shaking her head.

    Her eyes met his, unwavering.


    "Seems like the Moon Goddess made a mistake giving that power to you."


    His lips curled slightly, a flicker of amusement in his expression as he shrugged off the remains of his ruined shirt. "Oh, is that so?"


    Selene stood her ground as he stepped closer, his presence pressing into her space. He leaned in, his breath brushing against her ear.


    "You forget-you''re part of my pack now. And in my pack, no one is allowed to kill me."


    She shoved against his chest, only to flinch as pain shot through her fingers. A sharp hiss escaped her lips. Kane caught the movement, his expression shifting as a crease formed between his brows. His earlier smugness faded.

    blood, he had assumed it was his own, a consequence of her ws sinking into his skin.


    She shook her hands, trying to shake off the pain. But when he noticed the cracks in her nails, something in his expression changed. Without another word, he took her wrist and guided her toward


    the desk.


    "What are you doing?" she demanded, hesitating. She didn''t try to pull away- afraid that any sudden movement would break her nails further.


    Kane reached for a tissue and, with deliberate care, began wiping each of her fingers. She sucked in a sharp breath, her eyes fluttering shut as the fabric dragged against the wounds, sending sharp pangs of pain through her fingertips. Once he finished, he exhaled, his voice softer now. "Let me heal them."


    “Wha-” Before she could protest, he brought her finger to his lips—and slipped it into his mouth.
