Selene had overslept today, a consequence of the restless night before. Frustration weighed on her- she regretted approaching Kane at all. All she wanted now was for the day to fly by so she could finally go home tomorrow.

Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, fresh from her shower, a knock sounded at the door.

Opening it, she found Wren standing outside, holding a tray of food.

"You missed breakfast," Wren remarked, stepping inside as Selene moved aside to let her in. "Since it's already noon, I thought I'd bring you brunch."

Selene's gaze flickered over the food before she turned away, watching as Wren set the tray down on

the bed.

"What are Luna and Leo up to?" she asked casually.

Wren placed the tray down before turning to her. "They're in their rooms, playing. Alpha asked me to take them to a kids' zone. He even sent some of his guards along."

Selene arched a brow. "Why can't I go with them?"

Wren chuckled at the question. "Of course, you can."noveldrama

But just as she was about to say something else, a thought struck her, making her pause. Her expression shifted.

"Did you talk to him? Where is he?"

She studied Selene carefully, trying to gauge her emotions toward her Alpha.

"Luna, you still care about him, don't you?"

Selene's expression hardened as she quickly looked away. "No," she denied. "I was just asking about security."

Wren sighed, lowering her gaze. "He left early this morning. When I woke up, I saw him on the balcony, smoking. There were cigarette butts all over the floor... It was obvious he didn't sleep at all.”

Selene blinked, momentarily caught off guard. Did he stay out there the entire night?

Quickly, she shook the thought from her mind. “That's not my concern, Wren," she replied, trying to push away the strange tug in her chest.

"Before he left, Alpha told me not to wake you-that you needed to rest. That's why

I didn't knock earlier," Wren explained. "But now, please eat something."

Selene hesitated, then nodded. "Actually, I'll go with you all."

Wren studied her carefully. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah," Selene affirmed. “I came here to spend time with my kids, not to stay locked in a hotel room."

Satisfied with her answer, Wren nodded. Selene quickly finished her meal, changed into something comfortable, and prepared to spend the day with her children.

The day turned out better than she had expected. Joy filled her as she played with Luna and Leo, reminiscing about her old life in the Iron Crown Pack. Back then, she could take her children out freely, without worrying about being recognized. No one interfered, no one separated them-it was just the three of them, and that was all that mattered.

For the first time in a long while, she wished she could go back to that life.

At one point, she attempted to contact Grayson, but his phone was off-most likely because he was mid-flight, heading to another pack far from his own.

By the time she returned to the hotel with Wren and the kids after dinner, exhaustion crept in.

Stepping into the bedroom, she noticed Kane still hadn't returned. She ignored it, pushing the thought aside as she grabbed her nightwear.

But as she changed, she frowned at the silky nightgown in her hands. Why did I pack this instead of long pajamas? She hadn't expected Kane to be here; she had assumed it would just be her and the

kids.

Sighing, she slipped into the gown and climbed into bed. Though she tried, sleep refused to come.

A low rumble of thunder echoed outside, drawing her attention. Turning toward the window, she saw dark clouds gathering in the sky.

Sitting up, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and stood. A quick check on the kids reassured her-they were sound asleep, curled up together. Wren, too, was resting on the couch.

I could've slept with them. Why did Wren insist on taking the bed with them instead?

Shaking her head at the thought, she quietly shut the door and stepped onto the balcony. The wind was picking up, carrying the scent of imminent rain. Closing her eyes, she let the cool breeze brush .against her skin.

Then, suddenly, something shifted.

A sharp ache bloomed in her lower abdomen, making her lips part in a silent

gasp. Heat surged through her veins, clouding her thoughts, sending a shiver down her spine.

Her breath hitched as realization struck her.

No... Not now...

"I'm in heat!"
