"Don't call him. Call Alpha Garrett and tell him that Sel-"
"Hello?" she spoke into the phone, cutting me off.
I sighed and pulled my hands back from the desk.
"Beta Finn, is Alpha there?"

I watched her carefully. Hadn't she said she was calling Kane? Why was she calling Finn instead? Was she just pretending to get Alpha's approval?
The lobby was quiet enough that I could hear the other end of the conversation.
"No, he's in a meeting right now," Finn replied.
"Sir, we need to ask him something," she said sweetly.
"He won't be free for an hour. What's going on?" Finn asked.
"Sir, someone's here to see Alpha's father," she said, eyeing me.
Noticing I could hear her, she stepped away and started talking like she was sharing some big secret.
I rolled my eyes. I honestly didn't care about any of this. All I wanted was to see Alpha Garrett and leave this pack.
"Who's your father?" the woman asked.
"Excuse me?" I frowned.
No way was I giving out my father's name. I wasn't here to reveal my whole life story.
"Beta Finn's asking. We need all your information before letting you visit."
"Tell him Selene is here to see Alpha Garrett," I said loudly enough for him to hear through the phone.
The woman's expression changed at something Beta Finn said. She held out the phone. "He wants to talk to you."
I put my flowers on the desk and took the phone.
"Selene, is that really you?"
"Yeah, it's me. Your Alpha summoned me here, and now I have to answer a million questions just to see his dad? What's the deal?"
I kept my tone formal but not cold. He was Kane's beta and close friend after all - I couldn't exactly be buddy-buddy with him.
"Sorry about all this. I'll tell the nurse to take you to Alpha Garrett's room right away."
I handed the phone back to the nurse. After she finished talking to Beta Finn, she came out from behind her desk and gestured to the left.
"Please follow me, ma'am."
I reached for one of the bouquets, but before I could grab the second one, the nurse picked it up. "Let me help you carry this," she offered.

She led me to an elevator and pressed the button for the VIP floor.

"I'm so sorry about earlier, ma'am. I didn't know you were Alpha's guest. We get a lot of young women trying to visit his father every day," she explained.
I listened quietly as she added, "They're really just trying to meet Alpha Kane."
I snorted. "Your Alpha and his fangirls."
The nurse blushed - clearly she was one of them. I didn't say anything else. Who was or wasn't his fan meant nothing to me. I didn't even care that he existed.
When the elevator doors opened, I saw several men in black suits standing guard outside one of the doors. I stopped in my tracks.
"Those are the bodyguards Alpha assigned to protect his father," the nurse explained.
I looked away from them and walked forward. After asking the nurse a few questions about me, the guards nodded and let me through.
Since the nurse wasn't allowed inside, she handed the bouquet to one of the guards and left.
A guard opened the door for me, and I stepped into the luxury suite. The smell of medicine hit my nose right away.
I saw him lying on the hospital bed, with his wife sitting beside him reading a newspaper.
She turned to look at me, clearly surprised to see me there.
"Luna," I approached her. She stood up from her stool.
I gave her a small smile and put the flowers on the bedside table.
She pulled me into a hug. "How are you, Selene?"
Her kindness caught me off guard.
"I'm fine, Luna."
She broke the hug and smiled. "I'm not a Luna anymore," she reminded me.
I went quiet for a moment. I couldn't even call her mom now. She wasn't my mother-in-law anymore.
I slowly turned to look at Alpha Garrett.
"How is he?" I asked Diana Thorne softly.
"He's really sick. His wolf isn't responding to him. The doctors say it'll take time for him to get better."
I could hear the sadness in her voice.
Just then, his eyes opened like our voices had woken him. When he saw me, his eyes brightened. "Selene?"
He raised his hand, and I took it right away.
"Alpha."
"You came to see me?"
"Yes."

"Who told you about me?"
I was confused. Hadn't he told his son to call me here?
Before I could answer, the door opened. I heard Diana's surprised voice:
"Kane? What are you doing here?"
