The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 

The moment I stepped back into my pack’s territory, a gentle breeze brushed against my face, instantly lifting my spirits and making me feel a little better. 

It was such a relief to be home. As I arrived at the airport, I spotted my driver waiting. He quickly stepped forward to take my and Rachel’s luggage while we made our way to the car. 

After dropping Rachel off at her place, I finally reached the packhouse late in the evening. 

As soon as I stepped inside, I was greeted by the sight of my twins running toward me at full speed. I knelt down, opening my arms wide, and pulled them into a warm embrace. 

“Mommy!” 

“My babies!” 

When I looked up, I saw Magnus and Axel standing nearby, smiling at us. Releasing my children from my arms, I got up and walked toward my brother, wrapping him in a brief hug before asking. 

“Magnus, is everything alright?” 

“Of course, little one. Why would you think otherwise?” he responded with a smirk. 

I gave him a knowing look. “You called Axel here, so I assumed…” 

Magnus chuckled. “Everything’s fine. You do realize he’s not just your assistant, right? He’s also this pack’s Beta. Sometimes, his Alpha actually needs him, too.” His teasing tone made Axel and me roll our eyes. 

“Magnus,” I huffed, playfully swatting his arm. The others chuckled at our exchange. 

“Mommy, we missed you,” Leo said sweetly. 

“Mommy, this is for you,” Luna added, handing me a piece of paper. 

I glanced down and saw a drawing–a sketch of a woman waving at two children while holding luggage. Luna had always been talented at art, expressing her emotions beautifully through her sketches. 

Smiling, I kissed her cheek and pulled both of them into another hug. “Mommy missed you both so much, too. Now, let’s go to your room–I brought lots of gifts for my babies!” 

Hand in hand, I led them upstairs, glancing back at Magnus and Axel. Magnus gave me a small nod, silently granting permission for me to spend time with my children. 

A maid followed behind, carrying my luggage from the car. I thanked her, and she gave me a polite bow before leaving. 

Once inside the twins‘ room, I handed them the clothes and gifts I had bought for them. Their little faces lit up with excitement, and they started bouncing up and down on the bed with pure joy. Watching their happiness, I couldn’t help but laugh, shaking my head in amusement. 

Later that evening, as I was relaxing in my room after a shower, a maid came to inform me that Magnus was calling me to the dining room. Apparently, he was waiting for me. 

When I entered the dining room, I saw Magnus and Axel already seated.

“Where are Luna and Leo?” I asked. 

“They already ate,” Axel responded. 

I nodded. “That’s good.”

Pulling out a chair beside Magnus, I sat down, and we began eating in silence, exchanging occasional glances. 

After a while, I set down my fork and asked, “Magnus, is there something you want to say?” 

He took a sip of his drink before replying. “Finish your meal first. There are several things we need to discuss.” 

A lump formed in my throat, and my appetite vanished instantly. I knew exactly what he meant–he was going to question me about recent events. 

What worried me most was his reaction. He hadn’t called me once to check in, which was a bad sign. 

Noticing how his gaze lingered on my half–full plate, I forced myself to eat a little more. 

Once dinner was over, we moved to the living room. 

Magnus wasted no time. “Where did he take you that night?” he asked directly. 

I averted my gaze, my thoughts racing. How could I tell my brother where Kane had taken me and what had happened between us? 

“I asked you a question, Selene.” 

I sighed. “Magnus, he just wanted to talk.” 

His expression darkened. “You said the same thing after the council party.” 

Lowering my head, I admitted, “I think he just wanted to release that news to humiliate me.” 

Magnus nodded, his jaw tightening. “He always tries to humiliate you, doesn’t he?” 

I nodded in agreement. His eyes darkened even further. 

“This time, I’ll show him what true humiliation feels like.” 

My brows furrowed in concern. “Magnus, what are you planning to do?” 

Axel cut in before Magnus could answer. “You don’t need to worry about it, Selene.” 

I frowned. “I can’t just sit back and let two packs go to war over some news.” 

Magnus stared at me for a long moment, his piercing gaze making me uneasy. 

-Would 

you care if I fought against him one day?” he asked suddenly. 

I shook my head. “Magnus, why are you saying this? I would never want that.” 

“Who do you care for more–him or me?” 

“You, of course, Magnus.”
