I lay sprawled across my bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind tangled in the confusion of Kane's confession. I couldn't understand why he had said those things to me-I wished he never had.

I didn't trust him. Not one bit. But he had sworn on my children, and I knew how much he loved them. Kane would never lie when it came to Luna and Leo. That was the only reason his words lingered in my mind, refusing to be ignored.

"I don't care how he feels about me. That has nothing to do with me," I muttered under my breath, as if saying it out loud would make it more true.

Inside me, my wolf, Dominic, stirred restlessly. She wanted to run, eager and exhilarated by the thought that Kane still wanted us. But I wasn't in the mood to entertain her excitement-I chose to block out the low growl of frustration she sent my way.

She hadn't been there when Kane and I got married. She hadn't endured the agony of those two years, trapped in a love that felt like a prison. She didn't know what it was like to have him make my life a living hell.

"Our mate wants us," Dominic's voice rang out in my mind, pushing against my stubborn resistance.

I squeezed my eyes shut, refusing to engage. But she was relentless, nudging at me from within, pleading for me to listen.

"We are bound by fate. How can you ignore that? He wants us. He loves us."

"Dominic, just shut up."

"No. Every time I mention him, you lash out, wounding him over and over. But you never heal his wounds. And wounds that don't heal... they turn into poison."

Her words caught me off guard. She was right. I had never healed his wounds. Maybe I had wanted to, at one point, but Kane had always had his own twisted way of dealing with pain.

Then it hit me-what he had told me about healing.

My eyes flew open as a memory surfaced, sharp and clear-how he had healed the wound on my chest.

A strange, unsteady thudding filled my ears. My heart was pounding-why? I pressed a hand against my chest, trying to steady the erratic rhythm.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I whispered to my own betraying heart. "Are you finally showing your true colors?"

No. I wasn't in love with him anymore. Whatever love I once had for Kane had been buried beneath layers of resentment and hatred-hatred far stronger than whatever affection had existed in the past.

Just then, my phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts. I reached over and grabbed it, seeing Grayson's name on the screen.

"Grayson," I greeted as I answered.

"Did you get home safely?" His voice was laced with concern, a reminder of the man who was supposed to be my present. My boyfriend. The person I had chosen. It was wrong-so wrong-to let thoughts of Kane cloud my mind.

"Yes," I replied, pushing away everything else.

"I didn't like the idea of Kane driving you home," Grayson admitted, his tone firm.

"I only tolerated it because of the kids. But it won't happen again."

"Don't worry, Grayson," I reassured him. "I won't be seeing him again."

There was a brief silence before he spoke again, his voice softer, but no less serious.

"I want you to come to my pack with me."

My breath hitched. My body tensed as I bolted upright in bed.

"W-What?"
