The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane)

Selene's eyes rested on Alpha Garrett as she tried to piece together why he had sad marke so flicker of doubt crossed her mind-why did Wyz's customs seem so different from her ow

Her gaze shifted to Nyx, who was staring directly at Alpha Games For the free are, tay sister we the innocent, timid woman she usually portrayed herself to be. There was something des ter expression-something Selene couldn't quite read, though it unsettled her deply

"Alpha Garrett," Nyx said, her tone sharp but controlled, "you must be very proud of your ovetons Bu can't help but wonder why have your people abandoned their promises? is this part of your outtur struggle to keep your word?"

All eyes at the table turned to Nyx. Her sudden confidence startled Selene. Gone was the ques unsure young woman. What's more, her words carried a weight that Selene wasn't expecting

Promises? What promises?

Nyx continued, her voice firm, "You and your people, everything is just

"That's enough, Dad,"

Kane's authoritative voice cut through the tension like a knife, silencing Alpha Gamem before he could respond. Though Kane spoke calmly, the power in his tone was unmistakable. Apha Gament shrugged his shoulders dismissively and returned to eating, though his expression was tight

Leo and Luna, noticing their father had begun eating, followed his lead and quietly started on their meals.

Across the table, Alpha Garrett and Diana exchanged glances, their focus entirely on Kane. Selene, however, remained locked on Alpha Garrett, her mind racing.noveldrama

Is he hiding something? she wondered.

Questions churned in her mind, questions she intended to ask Kane later that night when they were alone. He had been so busy since his return-there hadn't been a moment to bring up the unspoken matters lingering between them.

The dining room fell into an uneasy silence. Kane finished his meal and left without another word, Nyx, who had stunned everyone just moments ago, remained quiet, and the rest of the table followed suit.

The day passed in a haze for Selene. Kane had left for his company, accompanied by Finn, and the weight of her unanswered questions lingered. Selene's thoughts spun endlessly as she tried to piece together the fragments of tension from earlier.

Kane had a mountain of responsibilities to tackle after being gone for so long. The pack's operations had stalled in his absence, but Selene knew he was more than capable of reclaiming control. Kane Thorne wasn't just a leader-he was a force. It was no surprise to her that, by the end of the day, ne had already stabilized much of what had fallen apart.

That evening, back at the pack house, Selene couldn't shake the restlessness. She paced back and forth in the living room, her eyes frequently darting toward the main door.

The fear lingered in her chest-a fear she hadn't been able to let go of since Kane's abrupt disappearance two weeks ago. She dreaded the thought of losing him again, the uncertainty gnawing

Selene spun around at the sound of Wren's voice. She hadn't even heard her approach. Wren's expression was tense, and before Selene could ask what was wrong, Wren rushed forward and grabbed her hand.

"What is it, Wren?" Selene asked, her heart already pounding. "Are you alright?"

Wren shook her head, her voice urgent. "Luna, come with me to the children's room. Now."

Selene froze for a moment, her pulse quickening. "The children's room? What's going on? Why won't you tell me what's wrong?"

Wren's worried expression only deepened, and her words came out in a rush. "It's Leo. He has a high fever."

Selene didn't wait another second. She bolted up the stairs, panic gripping her as she made her way to her children's room. Throwing the door open, she found Luna sitting on the bed, her eyes wide with

worry.

Beside her, Leo lay still, his small body curled under the blanket. His face was flushed a deep red, and his eyes were shut tight.

"Leo!" Selene called as she rushed to his side. She reached out and pressed her hand against his forehead, only for her stomach to drop. His skin was burning hot to the touch, radiating an unbearable heat that sent alarm bells ringing in her mind.

Her heart raced as she turned to Wren. "Call the pack doctor immediately."
