Kane's brows furrowed as he watched her disappear into the house. Her cryptic words lingered in his mind-what did she mean by "the ground would slip beneath him"?

His gaze stayed fixed on the closed door, his body unmoving, until the sharp ring of his phone pulled him back to the present.

His jaw tightened as he murmured to himself, "You will be mine. No matter how much I hurt you before, I won't let my mistake cost me you. You are my desire- one I refuse to share. You belong to me, and only me."

Tearing his eyes away, he exhaled sharply and got into his car. As soon as he turned on the ignition, his phone rang again.noveldrama

He glanced at the screen-Delta Derek.

Answering the call, Kane's voice was clipped. "What is it?"

"Alpha, finally! We've located Verity. We tracked the cab she's in and are sending you the coordinates now."

"Understood."

"There's also security footage. I'll send it to your phone."

"I'm driving. Let me secure the woman first-then I'll deal with whoever's protecting her."

Ending the call, he checked his screen for the location before tossing the phone aside. His grip tightened on the steering wheel as he pressed down on the accelerator.

His mood was already dark, and the thought of Verity only fueled his frustration. He had no patience

left.

Selene's words echoed in his mind again. He remembered reading in her diary that she had fallen for him before their wedding.

How long?

His fingers tapped against the wheel as memories replayed in his head. The first time he officially met her was at that club. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall seeing her before that night.

Maybe she had admired him from afar for years, attending pack gatherings as the Gamma's daughter. It wasn't impossible.

But why did that thought unsettle him?

His attention snapped back as he reached Verity's location. Slamming the brakes, his car came to a forceful stop.

Up ahead, two black SUVS had blocked a yellow cab in the middle of the road.

Stepping out of his vehicle, he took in the scene-his men had their weapons trained on Verity. She stood frozen, a doctor's coat draped over a navy-blue dress. That must have been how she snuck out

The moment his officials noticed him, their postures stiffened. Kane's red eyes burned like fire, sending a ripple of unease through his men. Even Beta Finn instinctively lowered his head in submission, though none dared to lower their guns.

Kane didn't acknowledge their gestures. His focus was locked on one person. Without hesitation, he stormed toward Verity.

She barely had time to react before his hand twisted into her hair. With a brutal yank, he slammed her head against the cab's window.

Her scream shattered the tense silence. Blood smeared across the glass as shards embedded into her skin, her face contorting in agony.

The cab driver flinched, terrified. Beta Finn stepped forward, discreetly slipping the man some cash for the damages.

Understanding the silent command, the driver hastily got out, bowing deeply to Kane. It wasn't every day one stood before the head Alpha, and he wasn't about to waste the opportunity to show respect before scrambling back into his car and speeding off.

As the vehicle disappeared down the road, Kane yanked Verity closer by her hair.

His voice was ice. "Who's behind this? Who helped you?"

"I-I don't know..." She winced, her fingers trembling as they brushed over her forehead, blood seeping between them.

Kane's grip only tightened. His next words sent a chill through the pack warriors. "If she passes out, don't let her wake up. Kill her."

Then, with a shove, he sent her sprawling onto the pavement.

A strangled sob tore from Verity's throat. She curled into herself, shaking as she gasped, "If I lie, you'll kill me. If I tell the truth, they'll kill me. What am I supposed to do?"

Kane's glare darkened. "Who do you fear more than your Alpha?"

Verity's hands pressed into the cold asphalt as she bowed her head. Her voice trembled, barely above a whisper.

"I'm just a pawn in this game. I don't know anything, my Alpha. It was all planned by her adoptive father-Gamma Curtis. He forced me to sell Selene that night."
