As everyone gathered near the stage, Finn urged me to join them. Ruby caught up with me on the way, and we walked there together. 

The crowd buzzed with excitement, eager to see the Iron Crown Pack’s princess. I’d almost forgotten about her, my thoughts consumed by Selene. I tried to shake her from my mind and focus on the 

stage. 

But when Alpha Malcolm called his daughter forward, my world turned upside down. 

I squinted at the stage in disbelief. This couldn’t be real. 

Was I dreaming? Was I seeing Selene where someone else should be? 

I looked away and shook my head, blaming it on too many drinks. But Alpha Malcolm’s next words stopped my heart cold. 

“This is my daughter, Avalon, though she’ll go by Selene Hawthorne. She prefers this name, so we’ve made it official.” 

I slowly turned back to the stage, my eyes fixed on Selene. 

There she stood, smiling between Alpha Malcolm and his wife, Evelyn Hawthorne. 

How could she be an Alpha’s daughter? And not just any Alpha – the former head Alpha of the Iron Crown Pack! 

“Impossible!” 

The angry whisper came from my left – Ruby’s voice, barely controlled. But I couldn’t tear my eyes from the stage. 

I watched her parents embrace her as the crowd applauded. When Alpha Magnus joined them, standing next to Selene, reality hit me like a punch to the gut. 

‘I accused her about her own brother! Damn it!‘ I mentally kicked myself. 

“Something’s not right. How can she be from a royal family? She doesn’t look-” 

I whipped my head toward Ruby, silencing her with a glare. She flinched and looked away. 

“You’re the one who gave me those photos,” I growled. 

“Ka–Kane, I had no idea-” 

“Didn’t your friend supposedly overhear them planning to spend the night together?” 

“I–I…” Ruby trailed off, hanging her head. Before I could unleash my anger, Finn yanked me aside. 

“Everyone’s watching. Get it together,” Finn warned. 

I glanced around to find several Alphas staring our way. 

I clenched my fists, trying to contain my rage. 

“Look, I get it’s a shock. I’m floored too. Who’d have thought she was a head Alpha’s daughter? The Iron Crown Pack isn’t some small–time operation – they’re our biggest business rival.”

I shot him a hard look. His eyebrows shot up. 

“What? Regretting divorcing an Alpha’s daughter?” 

I scowled. “You think I give a damn about her family status?” 

“Then what’s got you so worked up?” 

I glanced at Selene, watching her brother introduce her to other Alphas. 

“She helped my dad find a cure, and I completely misjudged her.”

Finn fell quiet, finally reading the room. After a while, he whispered, “This is all Ruby’s doing.” 

I looked around for Ruby, but she’d vanished. 

Guilt hit me for snapping at her. She might not be the real culprit here. 

“It’s her friend’s fault. Track down whoever followed Selene that night.” 

“You’ll need to ask her about that.” 

“I have all the security footage. Check it. Find out who was there. Get their IDs.” 

“On it,” Finn said, pulling out his phone. 

I forced myself to calm down and approached the group of Alphas talking with Selene.
