Selene stood frozen, her breath hitching as Kane's words echoed in her mind. The pain she had buried so carefully over the years came rushing back in vivid flashes-memories of heartbreak, humiliation, and betrayal.

She had worked so hard to move on, to rebuild herself, to start fresh. But it seemed that no matter how much time passed, this man had an uncanny way of dragging her back into the past.

"Sorry?" she scoffed, her voice laced with bitterness. "Sorry for what? For breaking me? For humiliating me? For constantly reminding me of how little I meant to you?"

Her words hit him like a blow, his entire body tensing. For the first time, Kane felt something deep and unfamiliar-an ache that burned in his chest as he looked into her eyes. She wasn't just speaking to him; she was laying her soul bare, letting him see the fragments of the heart he had shattered.

His jaw clenched, his pulse quickening.

All he wanted in that moment was to pull her into his arms, to tell her that he regretted everything. But he knew-he knew-that no apology would ever be enough.

"And after all these years, after everything, what do you do the moment you see me again?" she continued, taking a step back. "Was it Ruby who made you take my children away from me? Was she the one who pushed you to disgrace my parents? Or was all of that your own choice?"

She jerked her hand free from his grip, putting more distance between them.

"I hate you, Kane," she spat, her voice shaking with emotion. "With everything in me, I hate you. What you did to me is something I can never forgive. Even when I try to move forward, your ghost still haunts me. Do you have any idea what it was like? Carrying your child, waiting night after night for my

husband to come find me-to take me back home?"

"Selene-"

"Don't," she cut him off sharply. "Don't come here again. I don't even want to see you. You saw that I was happy, and you couldn't stand it, could you? That's why you came-to ruin it, to drag me back into the past. That's all you've ever done, Kane Thorne."

Kane exhaled sharply, shaking his head. But no matter how much she pushed him away, the thought of her with Grayson sent rage coursing through his veins. It wasn't right. She wasn't meant to be with

him.

"I am your mate," he said, his voice low, almost desperate.

It was the only card he had left to play. If nothing else, he wanted to remind her of their bond-the connection that had tied them together from the start.

Selene's expression remained cold, unreadable. "Grayson will mark me," she said evenly, her tone like

ice.

Kane's body tensed, and before he could stop himself, he grabbed her hand again, his grip tightening. "Don't you dare," he murmured, his voice dangerously low. "You can punish me however you want, but I will never let you become his mate."

A flicker of shock crossed Selene's face at his sheer possessiveness. She searched his eyes, trying to understand what he truly wanted from her.

"What do you want from me, Kane?” she whispered, her voice quieter now, tinged with exhaustion. "What am I supposed to do?"

His gaze softened as he studied her, as if memorizing every detail of her face. He wanted to find the right words-to finally tell her what had been buried in his heart for far too long.

He wanted to tell her that he loved her. That he wanted to cherish her, to make up for everything. That he needed her to leave the other man and come back to him. "Selene, I-"

But before he could finish, a deep, authoritative voice cut through the tension.

"What is going on here?"noveldrama
