The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane)

Chapter 257

Kane slowly turned his head, his gaze dropping to Leo. His darkened eyes carried a dangerous edge, as if, had Leo not been a child, he wouldn't have hesitated to make him pay for his words.

Even Grayson seemed taken aback by Leo's unexpected statement. Clearly, he hadn't anticipated one of my children saying something like that.

Without warning, Kane reached down and grabbed Leo's hand. His voice was cold as ice.

"You're talking too much. Looks like it's time for me to remind my son how to behave."

My breath caught in my throat. My eyes widened in alarm, and I instinctively reached out to stop Kane from taking Leo.

But before I could intervene, Grayson caught my wrist, halting me. His voice was calm, reassuring.

"Don't worry. He won't hurt his own son. Kane may be ruthless, but he's a smart Alpha-he knows Leo's value. After all, that boy is the future heir of this pack."

I could only watch helplessly as Kane led Leo away, dragging him toward a secluded corner. Leo turned to look at me, his eyes silently pleading for help. A lump formed in my throat as I stood there, powerless. Tears welled up, burning at the corners of my eyes.

At that moment, Grayson's grip on my hand loosened as his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen,

then answered the call.

"Alpha."

Because he was standing close to me, I could clearly hear the voice on the other end of the line. It was his pack's Alpha.

"Apologize to Alpha Kane on my behalf," the man instructed. "I couldn't attend his children's birthday party because my Luna is unwell."

"Understood, Alpha," Grayson replied smoothly.

"I've sent my Beta to represent me at the party. He should be arriving shortly, along with a birthday gift. Make sure to receive him.”

Grayson turned toward the entrance, scanning the area as if expecting to see his Beta walk in at any

moment.

"I'll check, Alpha."

With that, he ended the call and turned to me.

"Our Beta will be here soon. I need to go meet him."

I nodded. "Of course."

Without another word, Grayson walked away, heading toward the front of the house.

Just then, I felt a small hand clutching at my dress. Looking down, I saw Luna staring up at me, her big eyes brimming with tears.

My heart clenched. Immediately, I scooped her up into my arms, gently wiping her tear-streaked face.

"Baby, don't cry," I whispered, holding her close.

She buried her face in my neck, her small body trembling. Between sobs, she mumbled, "Mommy, please go to Daddy and tell him not to punish Leo."

Her words sent a wave of shock through me. I turned my head, looking toward the corner where Kane

had taken Leo.

I tightened my hold on Luna for a brief moment, then set her back down carefully.

"I won't let him hurt your brother," I promised firmly.

After reassuring her, I told her to stay with her friends. Then, ignoring the curious glances from the other guests, I turned on my heel and strode toward the hallway where Kane had disappeared with

Leo.

Anger burned in my chest with every step I took. I hated that man-hated him so much that, at this moment, I wanted nothing more than to make him pay.

How dare he terrify my children like this?

The deeper I walked into the house, the more I realized how little I knew about its layout. In the two years I'd been married to Kane, I had only visited this packhouse a handful of times for formal dinners. I had never ventured beyond the main areas.

Desperate to find Leo, my eyes darted around, scanning my surroundings.

Then, I spotted a few closed doors. My gut told me Kane had taken Leo into one of those rooms.

I took a step closer, straining my ears for any sound.

That's when I heard Leo's voice.

And the words that left his mouth made me freeze in place.

"We were so happy without you. Why did you come back into our lives?"
