    Selene straightened her posture, her expression turning even icier as she fixed a sharp re on the man seated before her.


    "I wish I could poison you. I wish I could end you," she hissed through clenched


    teeth.


    Kane locked eyes with her, the burning hatred in her gaze cutting through him like a de. A strange, indescribable ache settled in his chest.


    With a mocking smirk, she spoke again. "Alpha, finish your coffee and get out of here." Then, without waiting for a response, she walked away from the table.


    Turning to the waitresses, her tone grew sharp. "If you don''t stop sneaking nces at that man and get back to work, you''re all fired."


    Selene, once a powerhouse in the corporate world, found herself reflecting on how much had changed. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t shake off the woman she used to be.


    She had once stood her ground against the most dominant alphas in the business. Now, she had nothing left to lose. This job was just an escape, a way to avoid one particr man. And yet, here he was, barging into her space, throwing her entire equilibrium into chaos.


    Kane took a slow sip of his espresso, inhaling deeply as his gaze remained locked on Selene.


    He watched her move, the way she carried herself with effortless authority as she spoke to the staff. His eyes followed her intently, absorbing every little detail.


    She pulled her hair into a messy bun, strands falling loosely around her face, brushing against her cheek.


    His fingers twitched at the thought of walking over to her, gently tucking those stray strands behind her ears. Hell, he could spend the entire day just looking at her.


    His expression darkened when he noticed her smiling at the male customers.


    And worse-he saw how they flirted with her.


    A sharp surge of possessiveness gripped him. He forced himself to stay still, but the urge to go over there and knock those guys into next week nearly overpowered him.


    How dare they?


    Meanwhile, Selene stole a nce at the clock. It was closing time. She had hoped to shut down the


    café earlier, but things hadn''t gone as nned.


    She packed up, bid farewell to the remaining waitresses, and stepped into the back room to hang up her apron.


    Assuming the shop was now empty, she grabbed the keys and exited the changing room.


    Her mood soured instantly when she realized that, aside from her, one person still remained.


    Her jaw clenched as she exhaled sharply. "Alpha Kane, it''s closing time. You need to leave."


    Kane didn''t respond. His gaze was fixed outside, seemingly lost in thought.

    Annoyed, she walked over to his table and crossed her arms. "Are you even listening to me?"


    Finally, he nodded, shifting his attention to her.


    "Yeah, I heard you. But I feel like staying a little longer. You can''t just kick out a paying customer."


    She scoffed. "I''m off the clock. I don''t care."


    He gestured toward the chair across from him. "Then sit. Since you''re not working anymore, let''s talk."


    Rolling her eyes, she was about to tell him she had no interest in any conversation. But before she could, her phone buzzed in her hand.


    Kane immediately noticed the subtle shift in her expression when she answered.


    A small smile tugged at her lips as she spoke.


    "Grayson."
