The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Chapter 375 Get $> Selene entered her room, her mind swirling with conflicting emotions and thoughts. She collapsed onto the bed, her body heavy with exhaustion as she let her eyes close. But peace didn't come. Her brother's words about Kane echoed in her mind, refusing to let her rest.

How could an Alpha-especially a head Alpha-be willing to accept another man's heirs? Such a thing was unheard of. Alphas were possessive and prideful by nature. No one, let alone someone as powerful as Kane, would ever willingly take on the responsibility of raising children that weren't his own.

So why was Kane different? Her eyes fluttered open, and she stared blankly at the ceiling, her heart weighed down by confusion and unresolved feelings. Her brother had told her that Kane had gone to war for her. Magnus, the man who once despised Kane more than anyone, now spoke of him with respect, as if his hatred had melted away.

Selene's breath hitched as fragments of the previous night crept into her thoughts. Slowly, she lifted her hand and placed it over her chest, feeling the erratic thrum of her heartbeat. Tears burned her eyes and slid down her cheeks before she could stop them.

She remembered Kane's voice from last night, the way he'd told her he loved her. She hadn't been asleep-she'd heard every word. But in her anger and pain, she had hardened herself, refusing to acknowledge his confession. She'd made herself deaf to his emotions, too cold and bitter to let his words reach her.

Selene wiped her tears away and took a deep, shaky breath. Today, she had shown Kane exactly how it had felt when he had treated her so cruelly in the past. She had wanted him to feel the srejection, the shumiliation, and for a brief moment, it had given her satisfaction.

But now, lying here, she felt the weight of it all. Perhaps it was tto stop holding onto the past. Tto let go of the pain and anger that had consumed her for so long.

She made a decision then. Once Magnus fully recovered, she would leave the pack and part ways with everyone. It was true that her suffering had been immense, and Kane's struggles would never compare to hers. But she didn't want to carry this burden anymore-and she didn't want him to carry it either.

Her thoughts drifted to Margot's text from earlier. The shop was reopening, and Margot had invited her to start working there again tomorrow. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to start over, to leave everything behind and move forward with her life.

But even as she planned her departure, Kane lingered in her mind. A small, nagging part of her regretted her coldness toward him. Perhaps she could have been a little less harsh, a little more understanding. That thought haunted her through the night, keeping her restless.

The Next Morning Selene got up early, her decision from the night before still firm in her mind. She dressed for the day, preparing to visit the coffee shop and meet Margot. As she left her room, she realized she had forgotten her phone but decided to retrieve it later-after breakfast with her family. It would be the first meal she'd share with Magnus since his miraculous recovery, and the thought brought a small smile to her face.

But as soon as she stepped into the living room, the sight before her made her freeze.

Her family was gathered nearby, their expressions a mix of shock and uncertainty. Magnus sat on the couch, his gaze fixed on the papers spread out on the tea table before him.

"What's going on?" Selene asked, her voice sharp with confusion as she approached her family. She glanced at the papers on the table, trying to make sense of what was happening.

No one answered her right away. Her parents and Axel exchanged uneasy glances, their silence only deepening her unease. Selene's frown deepened as she stopped beside her mother, her eyes scanning the room.

"Is someone going to explain this?" she demanded, her tone rising. "And who are these men? Why are they here?"

Still, no one from her family answered. The tension in the room was palpable, and Selene's ΟΜ frustration grew. She turned her attention to the men, her voice firm. "Who are you, and why are you in our house?"

The men bowed respectfully in unison before one of them stepped forward to address Xe Miss Hawthorne, he said, his voice calm and polite. "We were sent here by Alpha Kane."

Selene's heart sank. Her mind immediately jumped to the worst possible conclusion. Had Kane m discovered Magnus was awake? Was this his way of retaliating after the way she had humiliated him yesterday? Was her brother in danger now because of her actions? Her pulse quickened, but before she could voice her concerns, the man continued speaking. His next words sent her reeling.

"We are here for Alpha Magnus's protection. Alpha Kane has announced that the Iron Crown Pack has been returned to him." 17.18 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
