When I turned my head to look, I realized that every single dish on the table was one of my favorites. It made sense-after all, I had lived in this house with Wren for two years. She knew exactly what I liked.

Narrowing my eyes at the food, I shifted my gaze to Kane. "Why are you serving my favorite dishes?" I asked, suspicion lacing my voice.

Lifting a brow, I added, "Did you poison any of them?"

He remained expressionless, as if my words were nothing more than background noise.

Without responding, he calmly placed food on a plate and set it in front of me.

For a moment, memories washed over me. I had spent so many nights in this very dining room, waiting-hoping-that he would come home so I could serve him a meal like this. But he never did.

I looked away from the plate, swallowing the emotions that threatened to surface. Why couldn't I just let it go? People moved on, didn't they? So why was it so hard for me?

Determined to leave as soon as possible, I focused on my food, eating quickly.

But in my rush, a piece of food got stuck in my throat, and I started coughing. Kane immediately stood up and poured a glass of water. Without hesitation, he bent down, holding the glass close to my lips.

Still coughing, I lifted my gaze to meet his. The moment I did, an image flashed in my mind-him tending to my wound last night. The thought made me cough even harder.

Shutting my eyes, I grabbed the glass from his hands and drank the water in one go.

As my coughing subsided, I exhaled deeply. He gently patted my upper back and murmured, "You don't need to rush. Eat slowly."

The warmth of his touch sent a jolt through me, making me freeze.

Without another word, he poured another glass of water and placed it beside me before returning to

his seat.

I stole a glance at him. He was acting as if everything between us was perfectly normal, as if this was just some casual breakfast date where he was spoiling me with attention.

The thought made me scoff, and I shook my head.

"I told your father last night that you were with me."

His statement made me pause mid-bite. My head snapped up, and I frowned at him. "What did you tell

him?"

Kane met my gaze, his voice calm and steady. "I told him you were here, at my house."

My stomach dropped.

"What the hell? Why would you say that? Do you have any idea what my dad must be thinking right

now?"

Setting his fork down on the plate with a soft clink, he tilted his head slightly, confusion flickering across his face. "Why do you think your father would judge you?"

My grip tightened around my fork and knife as anger bubbled inside me. I shot him a glare and muttered, "It's not about me-it's about you. He must have been worried sick, knowing his daughter was here with you. He knows I'm not safe around you."

Before Kane could respond, a few guards stepped into the dining room. They bowed respectfully before addressing him.

"Alpha, Doctor Grayson is here. He says he wants to see Miss Selene."

The moment I heard that, I immediately stood up. So Grayson had found out I was here-that's why he

came.

Kane's eyes followed my movements. "Your food-"

"I'm done," I cut him off.

His brows furrowed. "That man isn't good enough for you. Why don't you leave

him and come back to me?"

Shock coursed through me.

Anger flared in my chest, burning hotter than ever. Without thinking, I grabbed the

glass of water and threw it straight at his face.noveldrama

"And you think you are worthy of me?" I spat.
