The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 

I turned around immediately. There was Alpha Kane, standing a few feet from my chair. 

Other doctors recognized him and stood to bow.

Kane had his hands in his pants pockets. While his face seemed neutral, his eyes were locked on something. 

I followed his gaze – he was staring at my hand on top of Nathan’s. I slowly pulled my hand back and rolled my eyes. 

When I looked at Kane again, he was now focused on the white roses! 

I figured he must have spotted them earlier when he was going to or leaving his father’s room this morning. 

I ignored him and didn’t bother looking his way again. I was only here for one day – how did I end up running into him twice? 

Nathan looked away from Kane and started to get up. 

As he was about to stand and bow, Kane walked over and lightly pressed his shoulder, making him sit 

back down. 

“Doctor Nathan, please stay seated,” Kane said calmly. 

I could tell Nathan was nervous under Kane’s dominant presence. Even though Kane told him not to. stand, Nathan still gave a slight bow from his seat. 

Kane turned to the other doctors, who were still bowing, and motioned for them to sit. They quickly did as told, 

I noticed Kane’s hand was still resting on Nathan’s shoulder. 

I silently thanked my lucky stars. If we hadn’t stopped talking about my kids right before Kane showed up, he might have overheard everything. 

The waiter arrived with our two plates and silverware. 

“Oh, having lunch?” Kane said, finally taking his hand off Nathan’s shoulder. 

“Alpha, please join us,” Nathan said politely. 

Even though I didn’t want Kane sitting with us, I couldn’t stop Nathan – it was his duty. Kane was his alpha, after all, 

“Well, if you insist…” Kane said, sliding into the seat next to me. 

I was so angry I clenched my fists. The nerve of this guy! Nathan was just being respectful – it wasn’t even a real invitation. Did he have to sit with us? He could’ve taken the empty chair next to Nathan 

instead. 

“Alpha, what brings you here at this hour?” Nathan asked, trying to keep his cool. He was clearly still shaken that Kane had almost discovered his lies. 

“Why? Surprised to see me?” Kane’s tone was mocking. 

“No, not at all, Alpha.”

“Maybe I interrupted your date,” Kane muttered, turning to look at me. 

1 frowned at him. His eyes were drilling into me with a kind of anger I couldn’t quite place. 

“You’ve got it wrong. We were discussing your father’s health. Selene agreed to help him,” Nathan explained quickly. 

Kane raised an eyebrow, still staring at me. “Oh really? How?” 

I looked away from him. This was getting awkward. My wolf was going crazy from his scent. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. 

“Dominic,” I called to my wolf mentally. 

“He’s right next to us! Our mate is here!” My wolf was practically bouncing. 

“He’s not a good person. Stop feeling this way,” I warned her. 

“He’s our mate. You can’t deny that.” 

I pushed her back and rubbed my forehead. I couldn’t let my wolf take control. This man didn’t deserve 

1. US. 

While I was dealing with my wolf, Nathan had already filled Kane in on everything about his father’s health report. 

“I thought you said only Grayson Vale had the cure?” Kane asked Nathan. 

“Yes, but Selene said she can get it-” 

“And how am I supposed to trust her with my father’s health?”
