The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 368

Since the moment Kane woke up, his day had been packed with activity. Truthfully, he hadn’t been able to sleep for more than two hours. From the second his eyes fluttered open, his attention had been on Selene. The smile on his face seemed permanent, as if it wouldn’t fade for years to come. 

With something weighing on his mind, Kane got out of bed after a quick shower. He made sure to tell his children not to disturb their mother. He instructed Wren to take the kids back to the pack house, and the children, ever obedient, quietly left without any fuss. To ensure their safety, Kane had his guards escort them back. 

Instead of waking Selene for breakfast, he decided to prepare lunch for the two of them. After all, she hadn’t slept much the night before–they’d both been consumed by their love for each other. 

Kane knew every one of Selene’s favorite dishes by heart, thanks to the intimate knowledge he’d gained from reading her diary. Determined to make everything perfect, he followed online tutorials to prepare the meal. As he worked, he couldn’t help but smile, reflecting on how much their lives had changed in just one night. 

“Make me yours tonight, Kane.” 

Those words from Selene echoed in his mind, bringing him an undeniable joy. Last night, she had fully welcomed him back into her life, giving him permission to claim her as his. She had wanted him, and more importantly, she had trusted him again. 

He recalled how insatiable she had been, how she’d wanted more and more. Kane wasn’t the type to be gentle in bed, but for Selene, he had tried his best to temper his instincts. 

While chopping vegetables, he accidentally nicked his finger, causing blood to well up from the cut. He calmly rinsed it under water and wrapped it in a towel, assuming it would heal quickly. But to his surprise, the wound didn’t close. Puzzled, he frowned as fresh blood continued to trickle from the cut. 

The realization hit him–it was likely because of the previous night. Kane had restrained himself so fiercely to avoid marking Selene that the strain had taken a toll on him. His wolf had been desperate to mark its mate after so many years apart, and it had been nearly impossible for an Alpha wolf to resist such an instinct during lovemaking. 

He vividly remembered the pain of his canines emerging, the overwhelming urge to mark her, and how much it hurt to hold himself back. Yet, no matter how excruciating it was, he had stayed in control for her sake. Kane wanted Selene to understand the depth of his love for her. She had once accused him of lacking patience, of not truly loving her. But he was determined to prove her wrong–he could endure anything for her, even the most agonizing moments. 

After bandaging his finger, Kane finished cooking lunch. Once the food was prepared, he took his time decorating the living room in a way he knew would delight her. Every detail was carefully arranged to make her smile. 

When Selene finally emerged from the bedroom, he was ready. He watched her take in the scene he’d created, his heart pounding in anticipation. 

Without hesitation, Kane approached her, wrapping his arms around her from behind. He pressed a soft kiss to her cheek and whispered sweet words into her ear.

But Selene gently slipped free of his embrace, turning to face him. The flickering candlelight illuminated her face, making her look even more radiant.

Kane couldn’t deny the nervous energy coursing through him, but he remained confident. He knew what he was about to do was right. Reaching into his pocket, he retrieved something he’d prepared in advance. He had never imagined he’d get the chance to bare his heart to her like this.
