    A Few Months Later Kane sat at the dining table with his children, sharing dinner in the quiet of therge room. It was just the three of them tonight. His mother, still unwell, always took her meals with his father in their room.


    Luna and Leo were growing up fast, and Kane cherished every moment he spent with them. They were his entire world, the light in his otherwise dark and burdened life.


    "Dad, can we go see Mommy tomorrow?" Luna asked, her bright eyes sparkling with excitement.


    Kane looked down at her, her cheerful smile already softening his heart. He nced over at Leo, who was eating quietly with his head down.


    Leo had been undergoing training every day, steadily learning the skills and discipline needed to be the best Alpha he could be. Kane couldn''t have been prouder of him.


    "Sure," Kane said with a warm smile.


    Luna immediately jumped down from her chair and ran over to hug him. Kane leaned down to kiss her forehead. "You can visit her anytime you want," he assured her.


    Though Kane didn''t see Selene anymore, he kept tabs on her through updates from others. She had resumed her role as CEO of the packpany in the Iron Crown Pack. Magnus had recovered fully and was thriving as Alpha, and Selene was doing an excellent job managing her responsibilities alongside him. Kane had also heard that she was still single, though it didn''t surprise him that many men were pursuing her.


    As Kane lingered in his thoughts, the dining room door suddenly flew open. Gamma Storm stormed in, his face pale and tense. Kane''s brow furrowed as he straightened in his chair. "What happened?" he asked, his voice sharp.


    Before Storm could respond, the rest of Kane''s officials filed into the room, their expressions grim.


    "Alpha," Storm said, his voice urgent, "someone has attacked our pack."


    Kane''s frown deepened, but he remainedposed. Rising swiftly from his chair, he turned his attention to Luna and Leo, who were watching the scene unfold with wide eyes.


    Grasping their small hands, he crouched down to their level. "Go to your room and don''te out until your grandpa tells you it''s safe," he instructed firmly.


    Without hesitation, he led them out of the dining room and down the hall to their room. Once inside, he knelt before them, his hands gently gripping their shoulders.


    He kissed their foreheads and said softly, "Don''t forget that you are both strong. And don''t forget to always support your mommy, no matter what happens."


    His words confused them, their young minds unable to grasp the gravity of the situation. They had learned about war in school, but this was real, and the fear in their eyes broke his heart. Tears started to stream down their faces.


    "Don''t cry," Kane said, his voice steady but filled with emotion. He turned to Wren, the caretaker assigned to his children. "Take care of them," he instructed.

    Wren nodded as she gently took the children by the hands. Kane stood, his heart heavy as he stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.


    When he turned back to his officials, he noticed something unsettling. For the first time, there was fear in their eyes. Their heads were lowered, their energy subdued.


    "Why are you all so scared?" Kane asked, his tone cutting through the tension as he began walking toward his parents'' room.


    Theta Gideon, walking just behind him, hesitated before murmuring, "Alpha, we''re ready to fight. But... what about your health?"


    Kane stopped abruptly and turned to face Gideon. His voice was unwavering as he replied, "As long as I''m alive, I will protect my pack. They are my responsibility—until my final breath."


    With that, he turned and continued toward his parents'' room.


    Inside, his mother was asleep, her frail form resting peacefully. Kane didn''t disturb her. Instead, he motioned for his father to join him in the corner of the room.


    "Are you certain about this, my son?" Alpha Garrett asked, his voice trembling. Tears welled in his eyes as he looked at Kane, the weight of the moment pressing heavily on him.


    Kane pulled his father into a firm hug, his voice calm but resolute. "Trust me. Your son will not lose this battle. And even if I fall, this pack will always remain our family''s home."
