The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Kane's hands froze mid-motion, hovering over the clothes he had been moving. Selene immediately noticed the subtle change in his demeanor. Her brows furrowed as concern crept into her voice.

"What happened?" she asked softly, He didn't respond, his silence filling the room with tension. Selene frowned, stepping closer. She reached out and tapped his shoulder lightly, trying to prompt him.

Kane finally grabbed the clothes he had selected, closed the closet door, and turned to face her. His expression remained unreadable.

"Kane, I asked you something," Selene said, her voice firmer this time. There was a curiosity gnawing at her, one she couldn't ignore. She needed to know how Nyx, a stranger, had saved someone as powerful as him-a warrior Alpha feared by many.

Kane wasn't just any Alpha. He was a legend, the only one to win three wars in a row and claim territories from rival packs. How, then, could someone like Nyx have appeared in the middle of the chaos and managed to save him? Their eyes locked, and for a brief moment, Selene thought she saw something flicker in his gaze- something strange, almost guarded. But before she could make sense of it, Kane broke eye contact, his voice low as he said, "Let's not talk about it. I got wounded in the war, and she's a good doctor. She treated me, that's all." Selene listened carefully, but his explanation felt incomplete. There was something off about his tone, a hesitation that made her uneasy. Folding her arms across her chest, she arched a brow.

"I didn't like the way she touched my husband," she said pointedly, her voice calm but firm.

Kane's brows lifted slightly, and a smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. "I see," he said, his tone teasing. "You're possessive of your husband." Selene rolled her eyes, though her heart skipped a beat at his words. "Of course I am. I hope you haven't forgotten who your wife is." As she spoke, her glowing blue eyes locked on his, adding a playful edge to her statement. She meant to tease him, to lighten the mood, but his reaction caught her by surprise.

The smirk vanished from Kane's face almost instantly. His expression darkened, his features tightening as if her words had struck a nerve. His discomfort was unmistakable.

"What-" Selene started to ask, but Kane turned away abruptly, cutting her off.

"I'm going to take a shower," he said, his voice clipped. "We'll talk about this later, okay?" Selene's arms dropped to her sides as she watched him walk away, her brows knitting together in confusion. He disappeared into the bathroom and shut the door behind him, leaving her standing alone in the room.

Her glowing eyes dimmed, fading back to their natural hue. She stared at the closed bathroom door, her thoughts racing. "What is wrong with him?" she murmured under her breath. He had been fine just moments ago. Was something bothering him? Was it the wound on his head? She shook her head, deciding not to push him for now. Maybe he just needed time.

Determined to distract herself, she smiled at the maids and announced that she would be making Kane's favorite dishes. The maids eagerly helped her in the kitchen, and soon the table in the dining room was set with a feast fit for an Alpha.

Selene was about to call Kane and his parents to join her for the meal when loud voices echoed from the living room. She turned toward the noise and walked in, her heart skipping a beat when she saw her twins had returned hfrom school.

"DAD!" Luna and Leo shouted in unison, their faces lighting up with joy as they spotted Kane descend ing the stairs.

The twins dashed to him, their little legs moving as fast as they could. They nearly tackled him, wrapping their small arms around his legs as soon as he reached the last step.

Kane knelt down, his strong hands resting on their shoulders as he looked at them with a rare softness in his eyes. "How are you two?" he asked, his voice warm.

Both children flung their arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.

"We missed you, Dad," Leo said, his voice muffled against Kane's shoulder.

"I love you so much, Dad," Luna added, planting a kiss on his cheek.

Kane smiled faintly, pressing a kiss to the tops of their heads. "Did you look after your mother while I was away?" he asked.

Selene bit her bottom lip, trying to hold back a smile as she watched the scene unfold. Her heart swelled at the sight of her family reunited.

Leo broke the hug first, looking up at Kane with all the seriousness his young face could muster. "Mommy cried again," he admitted. "But we did our best to stop her."

the boy's hair gently. "Don't worry," he said, his voice steady. "Dad is back now." Luna kissed Kane's cheek again and tilted her head, her curiosity evident. "But where were you, Dad?" she asked innocently.

Kane's expression shifted, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face. He raised his gaze, staring into the distance as he muttered, tance "Somewhere Daddy shouldn't have gone." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
