Pregnant And Rejected

Chapter 158 Selene Confronts Dr. Kane

Frederic’s POV

Well this is interesting. I didn’t think Selene had it in her to stand up for herself, clearly the betas and Drake have been a worse influence on her than I realized. On the other hand, she is here, and that gives as an opportunity to help her see the error of her ways.

“What do you mean?” I ask, spreading my hands in front of me and inviting her to continue.

“Don’t give me that.” Selene snaps, “You just publicly challenged my husband.”

Goodness, she can be feisty when she wants to. My wolf growls.

Unfortunately her watch dogs seem to have figured out that she wasn’t getting better for a reason.

“Yes, I’m sorry about that.” I sigh, trying my best to sound genuine. “This has all been so unfortunate.”

“You’re sorry?” Selene parrots fiercely, “You do realize your actions are hurting some very real people don’t you?”

helping them?” She counters incredulously. “You think that exploiting their hardships to make them turn against the best leader we’ve had in a century is going to make things better?” Her tiny hands are pushing at my arms ineffectually, and I can’t help but admire how adorable she is for trying when she has no chance of success. “No Thomas, let’s be honest, you just want to cause chaos and destabilize
