Grayson''s words pulled me back into my past. Back when I was married to Kane, hardly anyone knew about our rtionship. I remembered how Wren, our head maid, alwaysplimented me whenever I dressed up for Kane. She would say I had delicate features, but I looked fragile. At the time, I hadn''t yet connected with my wolf, which made me appear weak. Still, that never took away from my beauty.
But I also recalled the times Kane would call me ugly. ording to him, I couldn''t hold a candle to the other women who caught his eye. In his opinion, I was the least attractive woman he had ever seen.
Grayson''s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "Can I get another cup of coffee?" he asked, waving at a different waitress.
She approached our table, ncing at me as if wondering why I wasn''t the one taking his order.
"Of course, sir," she replied politely.
"It''s actually for the beautifuldy sitting across from me," Grayson rified with a smirk. “I''m not sure what she likes, so I''ll trust you to bring her something she''ll enjoy."
The waitress hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickering between us. I stared at Grayson, caught off guard by his words. Without another word, she gave a slight nod and walked away.
Grayson then stood up and moved to the chair across from me. He pulled it out and gestured for me to
sit.
"Please, make yourselffortable."
I blinked, suddenly aware of the way every employee and a few lingering customers were watching us. Not wanting to draw any more attention, I quickly took the seat he offered. Kane had already caused enough drama in my life-l didn''t need any more of it, especially not here.
"Grayson," I murmured.
His sharp gaze studied me. "Selene, you look exhausted."
I exhaled slowly, trying to steady myself.
"Even if you were just saying those things to lift my mood... thank you," I said softly.
His brow arched. "You think I was lying? Not a chance. You were breathtaking back in your old pack. Now, you have this delicate, almost ethereal beauty."
I was startled by how easily he spoke about different kinds of beauty. Did all healers talk like this, or was it just him?
"You have a way with words," I admitted.
He smirked. "I''m aware."
His quiet chuckle was contagious, and I found myself smiling. There was something about his presence that put me at ease. He had this rare, calming energy, as if no problem in the world was too big for him to handle.
"So, what was it that you wanted to tal-"

Before I could finish, my phone rang, cutting me off. I nced at the screen, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Grayson lean in slightly. His expression darkened, and I immediately got the sense that he didn''t like whoever was calling
me.
"Excuse me," I murmured before answering.
"Nathan," I greeted.
"Selene, what the hell am I hearing? Did you go to the Alpha''s office today?"
I frowned. How did he know about that?
"How did you even find out? Don''t tell me my visit made the news," I joked, letting out a smallugh.
But my amusement faded the moment he responded.
"Actually, yes. Check the trending list. You and Alpha Kane are all over the inte."
