The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 

Alpha Hunter’s words left me stunned. What was his purpose in saying that? 

As another Alpha approached to congratulate him, Hunter turned to face the man.

“It was your project from the start, Alpha Hunter. Everyone knew Alpha Magnus would hand it over to his friend,” the man said. 

“Of course,” Hunter replied calmly. 

Standing behind them, I overheard their conversation. Not wanting to linger, I turned away and headed in the opposite direction. 

I wasn’t in the mood to listen to any of it. Thankfully, this wasn’t my company’s event, where I’d have to endure the role of hostess. 

I found a couch, sat down, and pulled out my phone. Scrolling through the news, a few headlines caught my attention. 

One article caught my eye. It detailed how Alpha Magnus had humiliated Alpha Kane during a meeting. 

A few Alphas were quoted in the report, describing what my brother had said to Kane. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Most of what they claimed was exaggerated nonsense. 

It was clear people were delighted to see the rivalry between the Nightfall Pack and the Iron Crown Pack reignite. No one wanted the two powerful packs to reconcile or align. 

Curious, I searched to see if Alpha Kane had made any public statements about the situation. There was nothing. It was obvious he had chosen to stay silent after such humiliation. The whole thing was as insulting as losing a battle. 

I overheard some nearby Alphas gossiping about Kane’s perceived failures. Their words made me furrow my brows. 

Locking my phone, I glanced at the couches near mine. 

“Alpha Magnus was right. There was news about Alpha Kane’s wedding years ago. But who was the woman? He never marked her, and she disappeared into thin air,” one of them said. 

“Exactly. Vanished without a trace. Did he kill her?” another added. 

“Maybe. Or he paid her off to keep quiet. A man’s rank or power means nothing if he can’t satisfy a woman in bed,” someone else joked. 

Their laughter rang out, loud and shameless. 

I looked away, anger simmering inside me. How could they speak so recklessly about something they knew nothing about? Would they dare say such things to Kane’s face? 

“Don’t think about him, Selene. Just distract yourself,” I muttered to myself. Rising from the couch, I made my way to a waiter carrying drinks. 

Grabbing a glass from the tray, I downed it in one go before placing the empty glass back. The waiter looked startled by my boldness. 

I shrugged, indifferent to whether I got drunk or not. All I wanted was to push every thought of that

man out of my head. Why waste my time thinking about him? 

“Selene.”

I heard my brother’s voice calling me. Turning toward the sound, I spotted Magnus waving at me from across the room. He was beckoning me to join him. 

I nodded and made my way over. As I approached, I noticed Alpha Hunter and a few others standing with him. 

Alpha Hunter’s gaze locked on me, but I ignored him, standing firmly beside my brother. 

“Alpha Hunter was just talking about inviting us to his pack,” Magnus informed me. 

“Magnus, I think you should go. I’m a bit tied up with company matters,” I said politely. 

Before Magnus could respond, Alpha Hunter interjected. 

“Oh, come on. You’re so stunning. Maybe other CEOs hand you projects just by looking at you.”
