Chapter 46
The car pulled into the parking lot of a five-star hotel. The driver rushed to open my door and help me out.
I thanked him and told him to book a room for himself too. To ease his mind, I promised I'd take full responsibility for whatever happened.
The driver nodded, and I walked into the hotel, taking in my surroundings.
The Nightfall Pack clearly knew their hospitality business. They had several high-end hotels like this one scattered around. From what I could tell, it was a popular spot for Alphas to blow off steam.
People watched me as I made my way to the lobby. I approached the front desk to check in.
"Ma'am, what's your preference? Forest view? Poolside? Penthouse, or-"I cut the receptionist off mid- sentence. "Any room is fine. Just make sure it's private. I don't want to be bothered by anyone, especially not men."
The receptionist looked taken aback but nodded while checking her computer. She asked for my details as she typed away.
I gave her my phone number and let her scan my fingerprint. Once everything was squared away, she handed me my key card.
I took it and headed up to my room. First order of business; a hot bath.
I let myself relax in the tub, resting my head back on the cushioned edge with my eyes closed.
Kane's face suddenly popped into my head. His questions about my kids today had me worried he'd - figure out the truth soon.
My phone's ringtone snapped me back to reality.

Right Axel had told me to keep the sound on.
In my rush to get out of the water, I banged my right hand against the tub's edge.
I rubbed it gently as I carefully stood up.
Looking at my right arm - the constant reminder of Kane Thorne.
I pushed the thought away and wrapped myself in a towel. As I was drying my hair, I stepped out of the bathroom just as my phone started ringing again.
I hurried to answer it. One glance at the screen showed Magnus calling repeatedly.
Dad must have talked to him. I answered and held the phone to my ear.
"What were you thinking agreeing to something so stupid?" Magnus's voice boomed through the room even without speakerphone.
"Magnus."
"Have you lost your mind? You didn't even think twice before giving in to Alpha Garrett. There's no way I'm letting you stay there."
"Magnus, please. Dad understands why I need to do this."
"You always do this. Whenever you want to do something I don't agree with, you run to Dad first to get #)12.09

him on your side."
"Magnus, please don't be mad."
I heard him take several deep breaths.

As my brother, he felt responsible for protecting me. After what Kane did, he couldn't stand the thought of me getting hurt again.
"I'm coming to get you out of there. They don't deserve your help."
"Magnus, don't. We can't risk starting a pack war. It'll only create more problems. I didn't come here to
cause trouble - that would just make things worse for everyone."
I tried my best to reason with him. I knew my brother. If he showed up here, he'd try to kill Kane for
sure.
"Fine, Selene. If that's what you want, I'll stay out of it. But I want you to know I think you're making a huge mistake."
He hung up, clearly upset.
I stared at my phone screen for a moment.
"Magnus, I'm sorry," I whispered.
I was about to call my kids - I hadn't talked to them all day - when someone knocked on the door.
I paused, looking at it. 'Probably room service,' I thought.
I quickly changed back into my clothes from earlier, then went to answer it.
Instead of hotel staff, I found a young man standing there.
"Yes?" I asked.
He definitely wasn't hotel personnel.
"Ms. Selene, Alpha Garrett sent me. I'm Marcus Reed, the pack's delta."
"Hi, Delta Marcus. Mind telling me why you're here and how you found my room number?"
"We're pack officials," he said with a slight laugh. "Nothing stays hidden from us."
"What happened to privacy?" I asked, incredulous.
"Since anyone could be a threat, the head Alpha has authority to override privacy concerns. You never know who might be dangerous."
I rolled my eyes. Kane's officials were just like him!
"But you said Garrett sent you, not your head Alpha."
"Yeah, but I'm still one of the head Alpha's official wolves. Finding your room wasn't exactly challenging."
"So, Delta Marcus, what can I do for you?"
He gave me a friendly smile before saying, "Alpha Garrett wants you to stay at the pack house."
