The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 

I stared at the boy for a moment, struggling to understand what was going through his Why would he say that? Why did he think I had hurt his mother? 

young mind. 

Just as I was about to question him, he suddenly turned and ran off in the same direction Selene had gone with Luna. 

I let out a frustrated sigh, feeling both confused and annoyed. 

“Alpha.” 

I heard my Delta’s voice and turned toward the door. He was standing there, waiting. 

“Let’s go.” 

Without another glance at the pack house, I walked out. 

As soon as I stepped outside, my bodyguards hurried over, opening the car door for me. I slid into the back seat and instructed the driver to take me to the hotel where I had stayed the last time I was here. 

I glanced to the side and noticed my Beta looking unusually grim. 

“That woman said I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way,” I muttered. “But I disagree. You deserved it for constantly interrupting me.” 

Even though he wasn’t looking at me, he rolled his eyes. 

I frowned. “Did you just roll your eyes at me?” 

He turned his head slightly and gave a small nod. “Yeah, I did.” 

I scoffed but let it slide. After all, he was my best friend. 

I 

That woman was right, though. I shouldn’t have spoken to him so harshly in front of others. But I had been furious at Selene in that moment. How could she accept another man when she already had a mate? 

“Kane, do you even realize what you’re doing?” Finn asked. “This alliance could seriously affect your trade in more ways than one. And yet, you still want it.” 

I leaned back against the seat, closing my eyes. The only thing I could see in the darkness was a pair of haunting blue eyes staring back at me. 

“I need to find that wolf and kill him,” I muttered. 

Finn raised an eyebrow. “Who are you talking about? Are you still having those nightmares?” 

“Find out who he is,” I ordered. “I want to know his name, his pack–everything.” 

Finn sighed. “Kane, no one has seen this wolf you keep talking about. I asked around. People say it’s just a hallucination. There’s never been an Alpha with blue eyes at any of the meetings.” 

I rubbed my forehead, frustrated. “Then do something to change Alpha Magnus’s mind.” 

Finn leaned in slightly and whispered, “How? By convincing him to let his sister be with you again?” 

I shot him a glare, and he chuckled. 

“See? That’s exactly why I called you out earlier. You had it coming.”

He smirked, shaking his head. “I never thought I’d see the day when Alpha Kane would be so in love that he’d willingly accept another man’s children just to get his ex–wife back.” 

I had no retort for that. He was right 

I wanted Selene back. That was the only reason I was here. 

Staying at the pack house was my way of staying close to her. This alliance mattered to me, even if it wasn’t the best deal. I needed to keep an eye on her. 

She was my mate. How could I just let her go? 

“I think we should wait until after the wedding.” Finn suggested. 

“Would you just shut up?” I snapped. 

“Kane, Alpha Magnus isn’t someone to take lightly. He’s a bold man–he’ll do whatever it takes since 

he’s dead set on this, maybe…” He trailed off, uncertain how to continue. 

The rest of the ride was silent. I was lost in thought, my mind a mess. 

The entire day, my officials worked on finalizing what resources and amenities we could offer the Iron Crown Pack to solidify the alliance. 

The next morning, I prepared for the meeting. According to the official announcement, it would be held at the pack house. 

When I arrived, I spotted several other Alphas already gathered. They greeted me with polite nods. “Alpha Kane,” one of them said with a chuckle, “there’s no way any of us are getting this alliance if you’re here.” 

He wasn’t wrong. Who would turn down an alliance with the Nightfall Pack in favor of another? Being allied with my pack meant security. If anyone dared to attack, my wolves would be there to defend them. 

The Gamma of the Iron Crown Pack arrived to welcome us, motioning for us to follow him toward the meeting hall. 

As I walked, something caught my attention–a woman descending the staircase.
