Kane's POV:
After barricading myself in my room and throwing on some clothes, I paced back and forth, the weight of my actions settling heavier with each step. My wolf was subdued now, quiet but unapologetic, leaving me alone to wrestle with the guilt. I ran a hand through my hair, tugging at the roots in frustration.
How could I let that happen?
When I finally heard the bathroom door creak open, my heart leaped to my throat. I turned instinctively but stopped myself before meeting her gaze. Shame coiled tightly in my chest, and I couldn't bring myself to face her. Instead, I stared at the floor, my hands clenching and unclenching at my sides.
"I'm really sorry," I started, my voice low and strained. "I didn't mean—"
"It's fine," she cut in, her tone soft, forgiving. Too forgiving.
