    Kane''s words sent a jolt through me. Did he even realize what he was saying?


    I never imagined he would say something like that-not in a million years.


    But deep down, I suspected he was lying. I couldn''t trust a single word that came out of his mouth.


    I struggled against his grip, my voice sharp and threatening. "Are you out of your mind? Let me go before I make you regret it."


    Instead of releasing me, he pressed his face into the curve of my neck,


    murmuring something against my skin. His warm breath sent a shiver down my spine, and I swallowed hard.


    "I swear on my children-I love you. I can''t bear to see you with another man. I don''t want to force you, but please... don''t push me into bing the man I don''t want to be in front of you. I want you to love me back, not out of obligation, not out of fear. Just give me a chance-onest chance. I swear, I won''t ask for more."


    His words sent a tremor through my chest. I stood rooted to the spot as if the world had stopped spinning, dragging me back to the days when I used to dream of him returning my love.


    Tears burned in my eyes, threatening to spill. I clenched them shut, inhaling deeply, trying to steady myself.

    "I''m not like you, Kane. I don''t betray the people Imit to. Not everyone takes love so lightly-some of us actually believe in loyalty."


    Kane slowly lifted his head from my shoulder, his hands still gripping me firmly. "Do you really still want him in your life?"


    I pushed his hands away from my waist, not bothering to face him as I spoke.


    "I still want to stay far away from you."


    He followed behind me as I started walking, his voice trailing after me. "Selene, why are you doing this? We could have a normal life, just like everyone else. We could be happy-with our childre together. I swear, I''ll never give you a reason to doubt me again. I''ll be the man you always wanted me to be."


    I didn''t acknowledge his words, didn''t even nce in his direction. With a cold expression, I kept walking toward my house.


    Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and spun me around to face him. "I know you still love me."


    “No, I don''t,” I shot back, yanking my hand free from his grasp.


    He looked momentarily stunned, but then his expression hardened as if refusing to believe my words. "Just this once-believe me. I love you. I love you more than anything. Why won''t youe back to me? Please, don''t punish me like this. I can''t live without you."


    I locked eyes with him, seeing the regret written all over his face. But what was I supposed to do with that now? Where was this regret when I had begged him to stay? When I had pleaded for his love?

    "Your love is so new, Alpha Kane,” I said, my voice steady, unwavering. “But what about the love I once had for you? The love you crushed every single day? Every time I reached for you, you pushed me away. Every time I tried to love you, you killed that girl who only wanted to be yours."


    "Selene..." he muttered my name softly, searching my eyes for something- anything-that might give him hope.


    "You want my forgiveness?" I let out a hollow chuckle. "Then take me back. Back


    to the time before I ever met you. Before I ever fell for you."


    I watched as desperation shed across his face, and Iughed bitterly.


    "Do you even know when that was?" I challenged.


    His jaw tightened as he clenched his fists, his voice low and tense.


    "When did you start loving me? When? How? And why? Because I was never kind to you. So tell me- when did you fall for me?"


    I took a slow step back, then another, putting distance between us.


    "If you knew the answer to that, Kane, it would shake your entire world. So take my advice-let me go.


    Move on."
