I turned toward the door and saw him- the powerful figure stepping into the room.

His custom-tailored suit and perfectly styled hair screamed authority. His face was cold as always, those sharp eyes scanning the room until they landed on me.

My wolf stirred at his gaze. I quickly looked away, focusing back on Alpha Garrett.

"I thought you were busy today. What brings you here?" Kane's mother asked.

"You don't sound happy to see me," he replied coldly.

I almost snorted out loud but caught myself. This guy couldn't even have a normal conversation with his parents. He was just... something else.

Now that he was head Alpha, I wondered if his parents had to follow his orders too.

"You rarely visit your father. That's why your mother's asking," Alpha Garrett said, looking at his son. Beta Finn walked in just then, greeting Kane's parents.

"The meeting got canceled, so Alpha was free today," Beta Finn explained to Diana.

That caught me off guard. Hadn't Beta Finn just told the receptionist Kane was in a meeting?

Why lie about the meeting being canceled? And how did they get here so fast? Sure, his company was close to the pack hospital, but still... I pushed these thoughts aside. I realized I still hadn't given Alpha Garrett his flowers.

Diana seemed to read my mind. She grabbed the bouquet and handed it to me. I smiled at her and presented it to Alpha Garrett.

"This is for you, Alpha."

He slowly released my hand to take the flowers. When he tried to sit up, Diana and I helped him.

Diana gestured for me to take the stool. I sat down to talk with Alpha Garrett.

Meanwhile, Kane made his way to one of the couches on the right side of the bed.

The room was huge - big enough for meetings, with several couches scattered around. There was a large closet and various medical equipment near the bed.

I snuck a quick look at Kane, who sat directly across from me. He was watching me too, looking

surprised, as if he hadn't expected me to show up this early.

"When did you get here?" he asked.

I looked away. "Just now."

Everyone else went quiet as we spoke.

Alpha Garrett cleared his throat. "Dear, who told you about my condition?"

Something felt off. It seemed like he didn't even know I was coming. I frowned and looked at Kane. Hadn't

he said his father wouldn't take his meds unless I visited?

As if reading my thoughts, Kane turned to his father. "Didn't you want to see her? That's why I called her here."

His father paused before nodding slowly. "Yes... yes, he's right. I've been talking about you."

I couldn't help myself. "He told me you were refusing to take your medicine until you saw me.

Alpha Garrett raised an eyebrow at his son. Kane's face stayed calm, but he wouldn't meet his father's eyes.

"You told her that?" Diana asked.

Alpha Garrett chuckled and nodded. "He's right. I have so many things to tell you. Didn't want to die before saying them."

"Alpha," I protested, shaking my head at the mention of death.

"Just call me Dad-" he paused, giving his son a bitter look. "Well, someone took away that right. Just call me Garrett."

I lowered my head. "Okay... Garrett."

"I'm not the pack's Alpha anymore - I'm retired. All I want is to enjoy life with my family."

I looked up at him with a smile. "Don't worry. You'll get better soon and have plenty of happy times ahead.

He shook his head. "At my age, I thought I'd have grandchildren keeping me and Diana company. But who can make this foolish man understand what it means to be a parent?"

My heart ached. Even if he had grandchildren, I couldn't let them meet him. The pain was unbearable.

I wanted to spend the whole day with Garrett and Diana, but Kane wouldn't let me have peace. He cut in with a mocking tone, "Dad, you want to teach me about being a parent? But some people have babies and still treat them like they're some kind of sin!"
