The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 79

Chapter79 

His question made me glare at him. When I didn’t respond, he started to ask again. 

“Why did yo-” 

“Because you don’t deserve to know,” I cut him off icily. 

His silence afterward was telling.

“What’s wrong, Alpha Kane? Usually, you can’t keep your mouth shut. Cat got your tongue?” I taunted him with the same mockery he’d always used on me. 

Looking into his eyes, I didn’t see his usual hatred. Instead, there was an unsettling stillness. 

“Surprised to find out I’m an Alpha’s daughter?” I asked with biting sarcasm. 

“Very,” he muttered with a nod. 

I yanked my hand free and stepped back. “Now that you know who I am, I trust you’ll leave me alone.” 

As I tried to leave, Kane grabbed my hand again. This time, instead of pulling me closer, he spun me around and pinned me against the wall he’d been leaning on. 

“What are you doing?” 

“Why did you lie when my accusations were false? If you’d told me the truth that day, maybe things would’ve been different.”

I tried pushing him away, but he wouldn’t budge an inch, his eyes locked on mine. “You’re a scumbag. Let me go.” 

“Call me whatever you want – you’ve earned that right. But we’re finishing this conversation first.” 

I stopped struggling and met his gaze. 

“Tell me what else you’re hiding from me,” he demanded, his expression dead serious. 

“Even if I am hiding things, you have no right to know about them,” I shot back. 

His eyes searched my face, and I had to look away when I felt my wolf stirring, wanting to get closer to 

him. 

He lowered his head to my level. When I tried to turn away, his nose brushed against mine. Memories flooded back – memories of when I’d desperately wanted his closeness. I squeezed my eyes shut, remembering all the pain he’d caused. 

“A man like you never changes. You never missed a chance to humiliate me,” I said bitterly. 

He let out a heavy breath. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. 

I froze, slowly turning to face him. We were inches apart, his breath warm on my face. That familiar cologne I’d missed so much since leaving him filled my senses. 

But none of it could heal my broken heart. I gave him an empty look. “Sorry for what?” 

He looked away. “I shouldn’t have accused you like that. But you should have told me the truth.” 

I let out a harsh laugh. “Didn’t I tell you that you were wrong about me?”

Recognition flashed in Kane’s eyes as he remembered that day. His eyes widened before he quickly masked his expression, squeezing them shut. 

For the first time, I saw genuine guilt in him. 

But I knew better- he only felt guilty now because he knew my family’s status. He just didn’t want to make enemies of my family. 

“Don’t worry about my family,” I said coolly. “I’m a professional. I won’t let my personal feelings affect business with your pack.” 

Kane actually chuckled, catching me off guard. He looked straight at me. “You think Alpha Kane needs to be in anyone’s good graces?” 

I smirked. “Didn’t I already break your heart by stealing those projects from you? Focus on your work, Alpha. Who knows? I might shift my focus from your company to your pack next.” 

In recent months, I’d beaten him at every business deal. Though I had no intention of starting a pack war, I wanted him to feel the sting of defeat. 

Kane’s jaw clenched, and I almost laughed out loud. This man was incapable of real remorse. His misunderstanding was obvious as his usual arrogant expression returned.
