Selene's hands stilled as they grasped Kane's mother's. A flicker of hesitation crossed her face before she blinked and instinctively stepped back.

Without a word, she averted her gaze from Diana, her expression unreadable. "Aunt, you should get some rest," she murmured in a quiet, measured tone.

With no maids around to assist Diana, Selene's mother, Evelyn, quickly stepped in, guiding the grieving woman toward a bedroom. Diana expressed her gratitude with a polite nod, though the weight of her sorrow was evident-her mind consumed with worry for her son.

As Evelyn walked away, she cast a glance toward Selene before shifting her eyes to her husband, Malcolm. He met her gaze with a reassuring nod, silently promising that he would stay with their daughter.

Malcolm then approached Selene, who stood motionless, lost in her thoughts. "My dear, are you alright?" his voice was gentle, filled with concern.

Selene turned toward him, her expression unreadable.

"Dad, how do you know Uncle Garrett?" she asked, her voice steady but carrying an edge of curiosity.

At the mention of his name, Garrett's eyes flickered toward her. Malcolm ran a hand through her hair in a familiar, comforting gesture before answering.

"It's a long story," he said simply. "And there's no need to dig into it now." Recognizing the finality in his tone, Selene chose not to press the matter further.

When Evelyn returned to the living room, she turned to Garrett. "You should call a doctor," she suggested, concern evident in her voice.

"Should I reach out to Grayson?" Selene offered.

Garrett shook his head. "Diana will be fine. But if Kane sees Doctor Grayson right now... I don't think it would be good for him."

His words made Selene's brows knit together. She turned her head slightly, her expression hardening.. She didn't care what was happening here. She didn't care how Kane felt about anything. She didn't care why he was marrying Ruby.

None of it mattered to her anymore.

The version of Selene who had once loved Kane Thorne deeply-who had once been devastated by his choices-was gone. Now, she was someone who refused to let the past haunt her any longer.

"Uncle, let me be clear," she said, her voice steady and firm. "I have no issues with any of you. I told Kane the same thing. Even after he took my pack from me, I still told him I could move on. There's no point in clinging to the past."

There was a reason she had said that.

When she had been forced to walk away from her marriage-when she had left the pack carrying her unborn twins had anyone stopped to consider how she felt?

Had anyone cared about what she had endured?noveldrama

She had been the one to suffer. So why should she care about anyone else's feelings now?

No one matters to me anymore, she thought.

"I understand," Garrett started, but she cut him off.

"Uncle, let's not do this. Aunt is unwell, and this isn't the time or place for it."

Garrett exchanged a glance with Malcolm, who nodded in agreement. "She's right," her father affirmed.

With a heavy sigh, Garrett conceded, nodding in resignation.

"You can all continue your conversation," Selene said, her voice edged with finality. "But I have no interest in seeing my adoptive parents again-the people who have only brought destruction into my life. I need some air. I'll be back soon." Without waiting for a reply, she turned on her heel and left the house.

The night air was brisk, its chill wrapping around her as she stepped outside. She took a deep breath, letting it fill her lungs.

But as she began to move, a group of guards suddenly blocked her path.

"Miss, you can't go toward the back," one of them informed her sternly. Her eyes narrowed slightly. "Why not?"

"It's Alpha's orders,” the guard replied. “No one is allowed back THERE
