A servant went to fetch Luna Diana Thorne from the garden. While Alpha Garrett and I waited in the sitting room, she arrived –
the perfect blend of grace and power. Her reputation as a fierce warrior was well–known throughout the pack.
At first, she hadn’t been thrilled about me being Kane’s mate – a woman without a wolf. She’d made her disapproval clear with
her cold attitude toward our marriage, which made what I had to say next
even harder.
“I want to leave the pack.”
Surprise flashed across Luna’s face before she masked it. “What happened, Selene?” she asked, genuine concern in her voice.
“Did he say something? Did he hurt you?”
Alpha Thorne jumped in before I could answer. “I’ll make him apologize today. Don’t make any hasty
decisions.”
They didn’t get it. Kane never wanted me. He’d brought up divorce to them multiple times. He’d never planned to stay with me.
Sometimes I wondered how different things would be if he hadn’t agreed to marry me, if that night had never happened. Would
we both have found happiness elsewhere?
Luna Diana nodded, backing her husband.
I gave them a sad smile. “I’ve always done what you asked. This is the first time I’m asking for something. Please, let me leave.
It’s better for both Kane and me to go our separate ways.”
I wished I could tell them about their grandchildren. They deserved to know. But I couldn’t risk it. Their son would never accept
children from me. I couldn’t take that chance.
I took a deep breath, trying to keep my emotions in check.
Luna Diana looked to Alpha Garrett.
He shook his head and turned to me. “What about your family?” he asked, meaning my foster father, his gamma. “You should
stay with them.”
I shook my head, terrified he might contact my father. Dad would never let me leave the pack. But I had to get out, had to give
my children a chance somewhere else.
“I’ll start fresh somewhere else,” I said.
“As a rogue?” Alpha asked, his tone heavy with worry.
I nodded. All I knew about rogues was that they lived outside pack territory. But with no one here to turn to and my babies to
protect, what choice did I have?
Alpha Garrett shook his head again, worry lines creasing his forehead. “Please think this through, Selene.”
My mind flashed back to Kane signing those divorce papers. If he wouldn’t reconsider, why should I?
“I’m sorry, Alpha. My mind’s made up.”
The lines in his face deepened as he sighed in defeat. He’d tried so hard to show his son I was the right choice, and I was
grateful for everything he’d done. But Kane had been stubborn, and here we
were.

As Alpha Garrett’s eyes turned red, preparing to grant my request, Kane burst into the room.
“Selene!” he snarled.
Everyone turned as he stormed over and grabbed my wrist, yanking me against his chest. His cologne wrapped around me,
familiar and intoxicating.
But his face was twisted with anger. “Turning my parents against me now?” he sneered.
