The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Chapter 410 Selene froze, her mind struggling to process Wren's words. It felt unreal, like a dream she didn't dare to wake from. For two agonizing weeks, she had searched for Kane, clinging to hope while wresting with the fear that something terrible might have happened to him. To hear now that he was back-it was almost too much to believe.

"Luna?" Wren's voice jolted her out of her daze. The Gamma's assistant lightly patted her shoulder, concer flickering in her eyes.

"Luna, just now, sof the guards reported to Gamma Storm. They said Alpha Kane is on his way back to the pack house." Selene's lips parted as a wave of relief washed over her. Slowly, a smile broke across her face, one so radiant it seemed to chase away the shadows that had clung to her for weeks.

"He's back?" she whispered, her voice trembling.

Wren's eyes glistened with tears, mirroring Selene's joy. Since Kane had gone missing, Selene's usual grace and strength had withered, leaving behind a woman weighed down by grief. But now, for the first tin weeks, Wren caught a glimpse of the vibrant Luna Selene had been on her wedding day.

"Yes, Luna," Wren affirmed with a nod, her voice thick with emotion.

Selene didn't need to hear any more. Kane was back, and that was all that mattered. Without another word, she rushed out of her room. Her legs felt shaky as she passed the maids bowing respectfully, but she paid them no mind. Her focus was singular-seeing Kane. She hurried toward the stairs, gripping the banister as she descended. From the upper floor, she had a clear view of the scene unfolding below.

Kane's parents stood at the base of the stairs, their expressions a mix of hope and anticipation. Gamma Storm, Delta Derek, and Theta Gideon flanked them, along with several guards who had been assigned to protect Kane the moment he returned. They couldn't take any chances with his safety, not after his disappearance. Selene's steps quickened as she descended the staircase. Her simple cream- colored gown flowed behind her, giving her an almost ethereal appearance, though her fragile demeanor was unmistakable. Everyone's attention shifted to her as she reached the bottom. The composure expected of a Luna slipped from her entirely-she didn't care about appearances or protocol. All she cared about was Kane.

"Selene, Kane has returned," Diana, Kane's mother, said warmly as she approached to hug her daughter-in-law, Selene nodded, her lips trembling as she smiled. "Yes, Mom," she whispered, fighting back the tears threatening to spill. This was a moment of joy, not sorrow. She refused to let her emotions overwhelm her.

Suddenly, the guards stationed outside burst into the house, their voices carrying the announcement everyone was waiting for.

"Alpha is here!" 76.92% < Chapter 410 The sound of cars pulling up to the pack house reached Selene's ears. She turned to face the entrance, her breath hitching as she bit her bottom lip in anticipation. Moments later, the car doors opened, and her heart nearly stopped when she saw him step out.

Kane.

The man in the black suit looked as commanding as ever, his presence immediately filling the room. Selene's eyes locked onto him, her heartbeat quickening. His face-strong, handsome, familiar-struck her like an arrow to the heart. Yet, her joy dimmed slightly when she noticed the bandage wrapped around his head. He'd been hurt. It felt like an eternity since she'd last seen him, though it had only been two weeks. For her, those days had stretched into decades.

Kane entered the pack house, his officials bowing respectfully as they greeted him. His parents rushed forward to embrace him, their voices thick with emotion as they expressed how much they had missed him. Alpha Garrett turned to Selene, gesturing toward her as he spoke to Kane.

"We all missed you," Garrett said, his voice full of warmth. "But no one missed you more than she did."

Kane's gaze shifted to Selene, and the moment his eyes met hers, her restraint crumbled. She couldn't hold el.

herself back-she bolted toward him. She flung her arms around his neck, clinging to him tightly as though afraid he might disappear again. "I missed you, Kane," she whispered, her voice breaking as she buried her face in his chest.

Kane's arms wrapped around her waist, his hold firm yet gentle. "How are you?" he asked, his deep voice washing over her like a balm.

Selene tilted her head to look up at him, tears streaming down her cheeks. She wanted to tell him m everything how hard it had been without him, how much she had struggled, and how she was carrying his child. But all that cout was a choked whisper. "Where have you been, Kane?" He opened his mouth to respond, but before he could say anything, a voice rang out from behind him.

"Kane." The sound froze everyone in the room. Kane released Selene and stepped aside, turning to face the source of the voice. All eyes followed, landing on a young woman entering the pack house.

Selene's breath caught as the woman walked confidently toward Kane, stopping beside hing and hooking her arm through his. She smiled at the gathered pack members, her tone casual but her words cutting through Selene like a knife.
