Selene's eyes sharpened, her gaze turning cold as she stared at Nyx. The young woman's laughter, light and carefree, broke the tension.

"Look at your face, Sister," Nyx said with a playful tone. "I was just joking. Don't worry, he's all yours. I had no idea he was the Alpha Kane we've always heard about when I took care of him."

Selene didn't relax, her expression unchanging. She wasn't naive-there was something deliberate in Nyx's words, a hidden edge beneath the surface. But before she could respond, Kane's deep voice cut through the room like a blade.

"My wife doesn't appreciate that kind of joke. Don't ever do it again."

His words sent a wave of relief washing over Selene. The knot in her chest loosened, and her heart steadied. For a moment, her fears-the ones that whispered he might betray her like Ruby had-began

to subside.

Nyx froze, turning to face Kane. His intense, dark eyes pinned her in place, and she immediately looked away, her confidence faltering under his piercing gaze. She turned back to Selene, her voice trembling.

"Please tell him not to kill me. I didn't mean to offend you, Sister. I'm sorry."

Tears welled up in Nyx's emerald eyes, and Selene found herself blinking in surprise. Her initial judgment of the young woman wavered. Was this girl truly as innocent as she appeared?

Before Selene could respond, Nyx suddenly stepped forward and hugged her tightly. Selene stiffened, startled by the unexpected gesture, as the woman whispered in her ear.

"I treated him for weeks, but he tried to kill me once. Please, tell him not to kill me."

The sincerity in Nyx's voice, her quiet plea, softened Selene's heart just a little. The way Nyx clung to her was almost childlike, and it made Selene wonder if Nyx's earlier behavior was simply her way of interacting with everyone. Perhaps her actions toward Kane had been misunderstood. Selene gently raised her hand and patted Nyx's back.

"Relax. He won't hurt you," Selene said softly.

Nyx pulled back, a relieved smile lighting up her face. "Thank you, Sister. Oh, I forgot to ask-do you mind if I call you Sister?"

Selene stared at her for a moment, unsure how to respond. There was a certain innocence in Nyx that reminded her of Mira, her personal assistant. After a moment of hesitation, Selene nodded.

"Sure," she murmured.

Her gaze shifted to Kane, who stood nearby, his expression dark and brooding. His eyes were fixed on his father, Alpha Garrett, whose face was etched with a mixture of confusion and unease. Diana,

Kane's mother, broke the silence.

"Kane, why is she here?" Diana's voice was calm but tinged with curiosity and

concern.

Kane turned his eyes to his mother, his tone sharp as he replied, "Is this how you treat your guests, Mom?"

Before Selene could dwell on it further, Kane turned and strode toward her. Without a word, he grasped her hand, his touch firm and grounding.

"Kane, 1-"Nyx began, her voice hesitant.

Kane stopped, turning his head to look at her. His dark gaze silenced her instantly. She swallowed hard, her words dying in her throat. Kane exhaled slowly, as if composing himself, and then spoke.

"You're wrong," His voice was calm but carried an edge of finality. "She's not Selene Hawthome. She's Selene Thome-the only wife of Alpha Kane Thome."

Selene's eyebrows shot up at his words. She couldn't tell who Kane's anger was directed at or what had triggered it.

Before anyone else could speak, Finn stepped in to answer on Kane's behalf. "She's our guest for a few days. She'll be leaving the pack soon."

Selene glanced at Nyx, who stood beside her, seemingly unfazed by the tension in the room. Her curious eyes wandered around the pack house, as though she had no idea of the weight her presence

carried.

Kane tumed to Gamma Storm. "Storm."

"Yes, Alpha?" Storm responded immediately.

"Have the maids prepare a room for Nyx."

"O-Okay, Alpha," Storm stammered before hurrying off to relay the instructions. On his way, he glanced at Selene, his expression questioning. Selene gave him a small nod, signaling him to proceed. He averted his gaze and disappeared toward the maids' quarters.

"You're wrong." His voice was calm but carried an edge of finality. "She's not Selene Hawthorne. She's Selene Thorne-the only wife of Alpha Kane Thorne."
