The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 

Mary 

Verity felt an unbearable pain radiating through her chest, convinced that one of her ribs had fractured. A sharp, agonized scream escaped her lips as she lay sprawled on the floor, unable to clutch at the injury with her hands still bound behind her. 

The sound of footsteps signaled the return of the guards who had gone to prepare the room. 

“Alpha, everything is ready,” one of them reported. 

Kane’s gaze remained locked on Verity, his piercing eyes unreadable. He responded with a simple nod. 

“Shall we take her there, Alpha?” another guard inquired cautiously. 

Kane finally shifted his attention to them. The moment his eyes met theirs, they bowed their heads in 

submission 

“No need. She’ll walk into that room on her own.” 

Verity’s heart pounded violently as she stared at Kane, who had risen from the couch. His imposing frame loomed over her, exuding an aura of absolute dominance. He looked less like a man and more like a god, and she–nothing more than a powerless mortal at his feet. 

“1-1 won’t go-” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. 

Before she could say another word, Gamma Storm lost control. He strode forward, grabbed a fistful of her hair, and yanked her up to her feet. 

“If my Alpha commands you to go, you bow your head and obey. No questions. No hesitation,” he snarled, his voice echoing through the room. 

Kane’s eyes flickered toward Storm. Among all his officers, this one was by far the most volatile. If left unchecked, he would tear through anything in his path like a wild beast unleashed into the wilderness. 

Before Storm, Selene’s father had held the Gamma position. He had wanted one of his own kin to inherit the title, but Kane had rejected the notion outright. Instead, he had chosen a pack warrior with unmatched potential, personally training him to be the ruthless enforcer he needed. 

As Kane stepped closer to Verity, Storm immediately withdrew, lowering his head in submission. “Forgive me, Alpha. I lost control when she dared to defy you.” 

Kane placed a firm hand on his shoulder, a silent acceptance of his apology. Storm bowed further in 

response. 

Verity trembled violently, the excruciating pain in her chest making every breath feel torturous. 

“I–I can’t-” she whimpered. 

SLAP! 

The sharp crack of Kane’s palm meeting her cheek echoed through the room. Her head snapped to the side, and she felt the sting of torn skin at the corner of her lips. Warm blood trickled down from the wound. 

“Didn’t you strike Selene just like this when she refused?” Kane’s voice was dangerously low. “Tell me, who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on her?”

Verity’s breath hitched. Horror coursed through her veins. Kane was forcing her to endure exactly what she had inflicted on Selene. 

The old man, now trembling violently, looked as though his legs might give out beneath him. Only now did he fully grasp the situation–Kane wasn’t rewarding him. He was punishing Verity. And the realization sent a wave of pure terror through his aging body. 

Kane turned his icy gaze on the man. 

“Go wait in that room,” he ordered, his tone laced with venom. “And listen carefully–if you even think about feeling sorry for her, I’ll cut off your shriveled manhood and toss it to the stray dogs outside.” 

The old man’s face drained of color. Without another word, he hurried into the room, keeping his head bowed in fear. He knew Kane was not a man of empty threats. 

Verity, still reeling from the slap, looked up at Kane, her eyes brimming with pain and regret. “Please, Alpha… forgive me. 1-1 shouldn’t have done that to Selene.”
