Selene blinked her eyes open to see her mother sitting beside her. She frantically looked around the
room.
"Mom, where are my babies?" her voice was barely a whisper. She tried to sit up but immediately winced in pain.
"Easy there, honey. You've got stitches," her mother cautioned.
Selene bit her lip anxiously. "Where are they?"
Right then, her father and Magnus walked in, each carrying a tiny bundle. Relief washed over her face. They carefully placed the babies next to her on the bed.
"They're perfectly healthy," her mom said softly.
Selene couldn't take her eyes off them. All her worries melted away as she gazed at their tiny faces. She gently kissed each of their foreheads, drawing them closer.
"My babies," she whispered, tears of joy rolling down her cheeks.
"Hey, no crying now," Magnus teased.
Selene just shot him a look before turning back to her twins. Their eyes were stunning - and they were staring right back at her, like they knew exactly who she was.
"They look just like their father," she said quietly.
Her parents and Magnus took turns holding the babies while Alpha Malcolm sat on the edge of Selene's bed, taking her hand.
"Dad? What's wrong? Aren't you happy about your grandkids?"
"You're right about them looking like their father," he said carefully. Then he added something that caught her completely off guard. "My men tried to contact him while you were in surgery."
Selene's hand went cold. "W-What?"
"Honey, I've seen how miserable you've been these past eight months. I had to try one last time to fix things."
For a split second, hope flickered in Selene's heart. Maybe Kane would accept her and the babies. Maybe they could start over, forget about the divorce...
But Magnus cut in harshly, "Tell her the rest, Dad. Tell her how that jerk said he didn't even want to hear her name. How he couldn't care less if she was dead or alive."
"Magnus!" Alpha Malcolm snapped, but the damage was done.
The pain hit Selene like a punch to the gut. Why did she keep hoping? Why couldn't she just get over him after everything he'd done?
"I could go talk to him myself," her father offered. "If that's what you want..."
"DAD!" "MALCOLM!" Her mom and brother shouted at once.
Selene shook her head hard. "No, Dad, please don't. You're a respected Alpha. I don't want you begging. anyone - especially not for me. Besides..." she swallowed hard, "I don't love him anymore."

Her father squeezed her hand. This wasn't easy for him either he couldn't stand seeing his daughter hurting again.
"He doesn't know about the babies. Let me just call him-"
"No!" Selene cut him off. "I swear I'll get over him. But these babies? They're mine. Just mine. He can never know about them. I'll be fine - I've got you guys. That's all I need."
Right then and there, she made up her mind to kill whatever feelings she had left for Kane.
The next day, the doctors were blown away - Selene's stitches had completely healed. They couldn't believe their eyes.
It didn't make sense. Selene didn't have a wolf to help her heal, and even regular wolves couldn't heal this fast.
Selene was just as shocked as everyone else.
As weeks went by, she settled into a happy routine with her babies and family.
Then one night, something weird happened. She felt this crazy urge to go into the forest. She had no idea why, but something was pulling her there.
"What's happening to me?" she muttered, walking deeper into the woods alone.
Then she heard it - a voice inside her head.
"Shift"
Her legs froze. Was that...her wolf? No way. It couldn't be.
The pain hit her like a truck. Every bone in her body felt like it was breaking and rebuilding itself. She screamed as fire seemed to race through her veins.
Minutes later, under the moonlight, a massive black wolf stood on the grass.
She let out her first howl, and suddenly everything clicked into place. She wasn't wolfless anymore. She was whole.
"You're not just any wolf," her inner voice said. "You're a blessing. You're going to be the most powerful healer any male wolf could dream of having. You'll be able to cure any wound."
"I don't want that," Selene thought back. "I don't want to be anyone's cure. I'm happy on my own." END OF FLASHBACK
"No," Selene said firmly to Axel. "I don't have any feelings left for that cruel man."
Axel dropped it and left her room. He knew she saw him as just a friend, but man, did that hurt. Everyone except Selene knew he had feelings for her. He wished she'd choose him instead of Kane.
The next day, all hell broke loose. Someone sent a photo to everyone in the Nightfall Pack. It showed Kane and Selene looking pretty cozy - from the party where he'd dragged her into that private room. The angle made it look like they were in a full-on embrace.
The pack went nuts. They started trashing Selene online, saying she was trying to steal Kane from Ruby, their future Luna.
Then Selene's phone buzzed. A text from Ruby popped up: "My first gift to you."
