The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane)

Chapter 101 Kane

I had spent the entire day in a meeting with Alpha Tate, discussing the terms in the conference room. By the end of it, we had signed the papers to finalize the deal.

Alpha Tate seemed pleased with the arrangement, and to outsiders, it looked like I had secured the deal. But in reality, it was the other way around-he had won the deal from me. I had willingly given him this opportunity, providing my warriors to his pack to help protect them from future conflicts. "Thank you, Alpha Kane. It's an honor to work with you. I trust you'll take care of my younger brother." "Of course," I responded, glancing at Alpha Darius. He had a composed, calculating demeanor. Though he was older than me in years, he lacked the depth of experience I had gained over time. Once the meeting concluded, Alpha Tate extended an invitation to a celebration party.

"I'm not interested in attending," I told him bluntly.

I had no desire to celebrate. This project might have been a dream come true for many packs, but not for me. There was nothing about it that warranted excitement.

"Oh, I apologize for hosting a party without consulting you first," he said with a smirk. "It's just a small gathering among the CEOs of the top pack-run companies. I've already sent out invitations, and they all accepted."

I froze when I heard him say all.

"Is she coming too?" I muttered under my breath, but Alpha Tate caught it.

"She? Who?" he asked, raising a brow.

Finn, sitting beside me, chuckled before answering on my behalf. "He's talking about CEO Selene."

I shot him a look, but he ignored me. Alpha Tate laughed.

"Of course, she's coming. Beta Axel informed me that Miss Selene accepted the invitation. She'll be there on time."

I raised an eyebrow in thought. Is she really not heartbroken? How can she attend a success party like this?

"I'll say this-if you hadn't presented your offer after hers, we would've almost given the deal to her

company. She's incredibly sharp and knows how to negotiate. She has a promising future ahead." Alpha Tate spoke highly of her.

Alpha Darius nodded in agreement. "Honestly, I was shocked when I found out Alpha Magnus had a sister. I heard she fought her way into her position at the company."

I turned to look at Alpha Darius, and he immediately noticed my gaze, his eyebrows lifting slightly. Alpha Tate smirked at his brother. "Alpha Kane admires her, Darius. And I think it's more than just admiration. You should probably keep your eyes off her."

Alpha Darius nodded. "I had no idea Alpha Kane was pursuing her. If I had known, I wouldn't have even looked at her."

Finn cleared his throat, then stood up and clapped a hand on my shoulder. "Alpha, we have things to Chapter 101

discuss. Let's head back to the hotel."

I rose from my seat, giving Alpha Tate a brief nod before

As we got into the car, Finn shook his head. "Man, you just ignored the pack's head Alpha."

"He doesn't deserve my acknowledgment."

"Because he was talking about Selene Hawthorne?" Finn asked, rolling his eyes.

I shot him a sharp glare, but he wasn't deterred.

"Come on, Kane. It's been weeks since you ran that DNA test with her daughter and got the results. You

said you hated her. So why do you keep chasing after her, even knowing she has a new boyfriend? And now, being bothered by-"

I turned to him with a scowl, cutting him off.

"Can you shut the fuck up? How long are you going to keep bringing up her children?"

"Why do you want to forget? You need to be honest with yourself about the path you're taking. Don't tell me you're so deep in this that you're actually willing to accept her twins."

I let out a low growl. The driver, startled, slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt in the middle of the road.

Without a word, I threw the door open and stepped out, slamming it shut behind me. I glared at Finn thr ough the window.

"Stop making up bullshit, Beta Finn. I don't love her. I despise that woman. The sooner you get that through your head, the better. Now go back to the hotel without me. Don't follow me."

Turning on my heel, I strode down the street. The car remained stationary for a moment, blocking traffic, until the honking of other vehicles forced the driver to move.

I ignored everything around me. People stared as I passed, but I barely noticed. My mind was a mess. Then, out of nowhere, a young woman bumped into me. She looked like a college student.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, sir," she apologized quickly.

I barely acknowledged her, giving a curt nod before walking past her without a second glance.

"Damn, he's so handsome! Why didn't he even look at you again? You're the prettiest girl in this pack," another girl whispered to her friend.

Looks mean nothing to me. I had never been the type to chase after women. Even with Ruby-who was undeniably beautiful-I had never slept with her.

There was a reason for that.

I had never been able to look at her the way I had looked at someone else.

At that moment, my wolf's voice echoed in my mind.

"Just admit it. You've fallen for your mate."
