As Alpha Kane descended the staircase with two children at his side, all eyes turned toward him.
A hushed murmur swept through the crowd as they took in the unexpected sight. No one had ever seen Kane with children before.
The moment people got a closer look, realization dawned-they were identical twins. And the resemnce to their father was undeniable.
Reaching the bottom of the stairs, Kane gently set Luna down and gestured for her to enjoy the party.
Leo, spotting familiar faces from his old school, instinctively released Kane''s hand. He hesitated for a brief moment before looking up at his father.
Kane met his gaze with a rare, warm smile and ruffled his hair.
"I invited them for you and Luna.”
Hearing that, both kids lit up and ran off to join their friends, theirughter echoing through the grand hall. Watching them so happy eased something deep within Kane''s chest.
"Alpha Kane."
A group of Alphas from neighboring packs, all of whom had traveled here for the asion, approached him with respectful nods.
"Your twins are beautiful," one of them remarked.
Kane''s eyes flickered toward his children, a soft exhale leaving his lips as he murmured, "Just like their
mother."
Though his voice was quiet, every Alpha present heard him clearly-their heightened senses catching his words even amidst the party''s noise.
One of them opened his mouth, hesitating before saying, "I saw the reports about your-"
"Alpha."
Beta Finn smoothly interrupted just before Selene''s name could be spoken in rtion to Grayson.
With a casual chuckle, Finn steered the conversation elsewhere, making it seem as though they had urgent matters to discuss.
He handed Kane a ss of wine, smirking. "Look at you. The dashing, devoted single father."
Kane epted the ss withoutment, taking a slow sip. The truth was, he was already growing bored. He had no intention of staying here any longer than necessary.
His gaze shifted as he noticed his parents approaching.
Garrett Thorne and Diana Thorne made their way through the crowd, stopping before their son.
Finn took the hint and stepped away, joining the other high-ranking officials who were enjoying their drinks.
"Kane, my boy," Garrett said, his voice rich with pride as he pped his son on the back.

Raising his own children in front of the world-Kane had made the right choice.
Diana slipped her arm through Kane''s, lowering her voice as she murmured, "I''m happy for you. But it''s time you finally settle down."
Kane rolled his eyes. "Settle? Mom, I already have."
Garrett chuckled at their familiar back-and-forth. His gaze drifted toward the children, who were now running around the pack house, making fast friends with the other Alphas'' kids.
"As long as I get to spend my final years with my grandkids," Garrett said softly, "that''s enough for me."
Kane turned his head, studying his father. For years, resentment had clouded his feelings toward him, stemming from the moment Garrett had forced him into a marriage with Selene against his will. But as time passed, he hade to understand-his father had been right.
"Final years?" Kane''s voice was calm, yet firm. "You''re not dying. I''m still here. No one will touch you."
Garrett looked at him sharply, his expression shifting. Emotion filled his eyes, though he said nothing.
Kane, however, had already turned away.
Garrett knew his son too well. Kane had never been one to show vulnerability-
never cried, never begg ed. Even as a child, he had been distant, cold.
And yet, in that fleeting moment...
Something changed.
Diana and Garrett both noticed it-the way Kane''s usually hard, unreadable eyes suddenly sharpened, locked onto something across the room.
Following his gaze, they turned their heads.
A woman had just stepped into the pack house.
She was breathtaking, wrapped in an elegant gown that shimmered under the
lights. Her presence was striking, effortlessly drawing attention.
She was like a star-impossible to ignore.
And then, they heard Kane''s voice.
Low. Unmistakable.
"Selene?"
