"Leo!"

I called out as I pushed open the door.

Both Leo and Kane turned to face me. Leo stood protectively in front of Kane, who remained seated on the couch.

"Mommy."

Ignoring Kane entirely, I walked straight to Leo.

"Baby, how many times have I told you not to talk to your father like that? He's still your dad. You can't treat him with disrespect."

"No, Mommy. I don't like him. He's not my dad. Because of him, you were always crying."

My hands clenched into fists as I struggled to control my emotions. Even at his young age, Leo still carried the memory of me crying, and he hadn't been able to let go of it.

"Don't say that, sweetheart. I wasn't crying because of him-I was crying because of my own fate."

"Fate?” he murmured, his little face scrunching up in confusion.

I gently ran my fingers through his hair.

"Go back to the party, honey. Luna is waiting for you."

Leo hesitated, glancing at Kane before finally leaving. It was only then that I noticed Kane had remained completely silent throughout my conversation with Leo.

As soon as the door closed behind my son, I turned to face the man still sitting on the couch.

But when I looked closer, I saw it-his eyes weren't calm. They were cold, burning with something unspoken. His gaze was locked on the door, refusing to meet mine.

"What are you planning to do to Leo?" I demanded, my voice sharp. "You want to punish your own son? How could you even think of that?"

"I already did." His voice was flat, detached. He still wouldn't look at me.

My stomach twisted. I narrowed my eyes at him. "What do you mean? What did you do to my son?" My voice shook with fury. "Did you lay a hand on him?"

Just the thought of it made my heart pound. Like Kane, Leo had a stubborn streak. Even if this man had hurt him, Leo would never admit it to me.

Kane ignored my questions. Instead, he picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, pulled one out, and lit it.

His indifferent attitude made my blood boil.

Furious, I stormed over to him, grabbing his wrist tightly. With my other hand, I snatched the cigarette from between his fingers and tossed it away.

"Stop smoking all the damn time, you filthy man," I snapped. "Answer me. What have you done to my

Son?"

I was about to release his wrist, loosening my grip-

But suddenly, he moved. In one swift motion, he stood up, grabbed my arms, and pinned me against the wall beside the couch.

I gasped at his sudden action, my eyes widening as I stared up at him.

"What was that guy talking about?" he asked, his face inches from mine. "Who the hell gave him the nerve to call himself your soon-to-be boyfriend?"

For a moment, I was caught off guard, my mind reeling at both his words and his closeness.

Then, snapping back to reality, I gathered myself and shoved at his chest.

"Move," I spat. "Your scent is disgusting."

It was a lie. His scent was intoxicating, making my inner wolf restless. I hated the mate bond for making me feel this way.

Kane's grip on my arms loosened, but he didn't step back. Instead, he locked eyes with me and murmured,

"Don't test my patience, Selene."
