His Fault

Kane POV

What the actual fuck?

The weight of his words sank in, dragging me down into a pit of disbelief and rage. He fucked Ashley? My wolf roared in my head, a visceral snarl of fury that rattled my skull.

And he was the reason for all of this.

The reason my mate—my Elena—was in a blind rampage, furious with me for something I didn't do. The reason she thought I had betrayed her, broken her trust, and crushed whatever fragile bond we were building.

He was the reason she'd been running around tonight, throwing herself into the arms of other men, kissing them in some twisted attempt at revenge.

All because of him.

Because of his stupidity, his recklessness, and his utter disregard for consequences.

My reputation. My name. Everything I'd worked to protect as alpha. It was all in shambles because of this piece of shit.
