When Beta Finn first mentioned the alliance to me, I was taken aback. Why would they approach our pack? What was driving their eagerness to secure this deal? 

Honestly, I had expected Kane to leave yesterday, especially after my brother treated him with blatant contempt and refused to let him stay in the packhouse. I was sure he would have walked away by 

now. 

So why was he still here? What was he after? 

That’s why I waited before heading to the meeting hall. I wanted to see what was happening–but only after they had already gathered. 

As the Alpha’s sister, the guards couldn’t stop me from going near the hall. However, instead of stepping inside, I simply lingered outside, listening. 

What I overheard caught me off guard. 

Finn’s explanation of the alliance was… impressive. I had never heard of a proposal like this before. 

And then, when one of the Alphas brought up the topic of war, Kane’s response stunned me even 

more. 

He said he would personally step in to help. 

Was he serious? 

It was unheard of for an Alpha to willingly fight in another pack’s war without ulterior motives. Normally, it would be an opportunity to weaken the other pack, not support it. 

I figured my brother would logically hand the deal over to the Nightfall Pack. As a businesswoman, I understood the strategic direction we should take. 

But instead of considering Kane’s offer, Magnus suddenly burst into laughter. 

Curious, I nudged the door open slightly for a better look. The room was filled with men seated around the large table, most of them looking puzzled. My gaze landed on Kane–he seemed just as confused as they were. 

“Alpha Kane Thorne, you’re a joke, man,” Magnus scoffed, still laughing. 

“Do you really think my pack needs you? I’m more than capable of protecting my own. You–who were defeated by my sister and lost business to her–think you can support me in a war? You’ve got to be kidding.” 

My eyes widened in shock. He shouldn’t have said that. Not in front of everyone. 

“That was unnecessary, Magnus…” I muttered under my breath, my frustration growing 

Kane’s men immediately stood up, their tension filling the room. Finn, visibly enraged, let out a warning growl at Magnus, shocking everyone. 

Axel wasn’t having it. He growled back. “How dare you growl at my Alpha?” he snapped, glaring at 

Finn. 

“Then tell your Alpha to watch his words,” Finn shot back. “Has he forgotten who he’s speaking to?”

I stole a glance at Kane, half–expecting him to lose his temper and challenge my brother. 

But he didn’t. 

Instead, he remained composed, raising a hand to silence the escalating argument between the two Betas. 

“Everyone, sit down. Let Alpha Magnus speak,” Kane said coolly. 

His men clearly didn’t want to stay in that room a second longer, but they had no choice. Their Alpha had given an order, and they were bound to follow it. 

Magnus smirked. “It’s true–I’m more than strong enough on my own. Maybe I don’t need your help. And that’s fine. There’s no need to argue over it. I wouldn’t want to hurt your ego.” 

Kane’s voice remained controlled, but something about his tone suggested he was restraining himself. 

Magnus slowly rose to his feet, completely indifferent to Kane’s standing in the room. His eyes swept over the table before landing on Alpha Hunter. 

“This alliance goes to the Steel Valley Pack. Congratulations, Alpha Hunter,” Magnus announced. 

His words sent shockwaves through the hall. 

Kane stood abruptly, his patience finally snapping. 

“I object.” 

Magnus scoffed. “This isn’t a courtroom, Kane. You can’t ‘object.‘ This is my pack’s meeting, and I decide who gets the deal.” 

“You can’t just hand it over without reason.” 

“I don’t like your offer.” 

“We can negotiate.” 

“Why do you even want this alliance so badly?” 

“I just do,” Kane admitted, his voice firm. “I want this alliance. And if you have concerns, you’re free to amend the terms however you see fit.” 

I rubbed my forehead, exhaling sharply. What are you doing, Kane?” 

I wasn’t sure what I wanted out of this situation, but I knew one thing–I didn’t want a fight breaking out here. 

Magnus scoffed again. “There’s no way in hell I’d ever tie my pack to yours. You’re not worthy of an alliance. In fact, I’m pretty sure several Alphas in this room could take you out in a war. The only reason people bow to you is because your father handed you a massive pack.”
