The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251 

Third POV 

#Menu 

The long–awaited day had finally arrived–Leo and Luna’s birthday. The entire pack house buzzed with activity as preparations reached their peak. Every comer was adorned with elegant decorations, setting the perfect atmosphere for the grand celebration. Alphas from various packs had been invited, and anticipation filled the air. 

How could they refuse an invitation from Alpha Kane? His mere request was enough to ensure their attendance. 

Meanwhile, in the privacy of his bedroom, Kane sat on the bed, sifting through a stack of documents. A cigarette rested between his fingers as he turned each page, his focus unwavering. The dim light cast shadows across his sharp features, adding to the intensity of his presence. 

A knock at the door interrupted his concentration. 

“Come in,” he said flatly, not bothering to look up. 

The door opened, and a familiar voice filled the room. 

“Kane, why are you still working? It’s already late. The guests have started arriving,” his mother, Diana Thome, said with mild exasperation. 

Without shifting his gaze from the pages, he turned his head slightly toward the window. The night sky was pitch black, its depth swallowing the last traces of daylight. 

Bringing the cigarette to his lips, he took a slow, deep drag before exhaling. 

Diana watched her son closely, her heart heavy. She and Garrett had always loved Kane more than anything, yet she couldn’t help but feel that life was pulling him down a path she no longer 

understood. 

He had everything–power, status, wealth–yet he seemed lost. He lived on his own terms, answering to no one, not even his father. And while that gave him an edge, it also meant he never allowed anyone to guide him. He made his own decisions, but was he truly getting what he wanted? 

Stepping fully into the room, Diana closed the door behind her and approached the bed. She sat down beside the scattered documents, her gaze softening. 

“Kane.” 

Without a word, he reached for the ashtray on the nightstand and pressed the cigarette into it, extinguishing the ember. 

“Speak,” he muttered, shifting the files aside. 

“How long do you plan to keep working like this?” she asked, her tone filled with concern. “For the past six years, you’ve been nothing but a machine. You need a break. Why don’t you take a week off and go 

on vacation?” 

His hands stilled. Slowly, he lifted his eyes to meet hers. 

“You spoke to Ruby, didn’t you?”

Diana blinked, momentarily caught off guard by how quickly he had pieced it together. He was sharp- always had been. But she shook her head and replied, 

“No. This isn’t about Ruby. I just want you to enjoy your life. You’re still young. If you keep burying yourself in work like this, you’ll wake up one day and realize you’ve let your youth slip away.” 

Kane sighed and rose from the bed. His expression remained unreadable as he looked at her. 

“Ruby and I broke up,” he stated simply.
