The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303 

Selene’s POV 

Mend 

Grayson’s car hummed softly as we made our way toward my house. He was always so considerate, never one to pry too much. He had only asked once about why I had been at Kane’s place. 

When I explained that I had passed out from a fever last night, he didn’t press for more details. Instead, he simply nodded and told me he trusted me. 

I turned to look at him. He really was a good man–kind, patient. So why did it feel like I had betrayed 

him? 

Last night, Kane and I had been so close. Even though all he did was heal my wound, I couldn’t shake the thought that no boyfriend would be okay with that. 

I chose not to mention it to Grayson. I didn’t want to hurt him. Besides, he had never liked Kane, not since he found out he was my ex–husband. 

As soon as we pulled up to my house, I unbuckled my seatbelt and stepped out. Grayson followed, walking up to me before gently pressing his palm against my forehead. 

“You don’t have a fever anymore. That’s surprising,” he noted. 

He wasn’t wrong. After last night, I felt lighter, like a weight had been lifted off me. It was as if that wound had been draining all my energy. 

“You should take the day off and rest,” he suggested. “Margot will understand. Tomorrow’s the weekend–do you have any plans?” 

I thought for a moment before remembering the promise I had made to my kids. 

“I have a family dinner tomorrow with my twins. Would you like to come?” 

A warm smile spread across his face, and he nodded without hesitation. “Of course. They’re an important part of your life. I’d love to see them again.” 

His words made me smile, a genuine, grateful smile. “Thank you, Grayson. You’re always there for 

me.” 

He chuckled, saying that my smile was adorable, and before I could react, he leaned in and wrapped his arms around me. 

For a moment, my hands hovered in the air, uncertain. I wanted to return his embrace, to let myself melt into his warmth. But as soon as I closed my eyes, memories of last night surged forward–Kane’s touch, the heat of his body, the way his presence had overwhelmed my senses. 

A shiver ran through me. 

I pulled away, murmuring a quick goodbye before heading inside to see my parents. 

My father was waiting for me, his expression unreadable.
