My children were fast asleep in their bedroom when I went to check on them. After making sure they were tucked in, I instructed my maid to keep an eye on them. With that taken care of, my parents and I left the house.

The moment we stepped outside, a sleek black car was already waiting for us at the curb.

Delta Derek had sent it. His driver promptly stepped out, opened the doors, and informed us that it was a direct order from the royal family to escort us to the Alpha's residence.

There was no point in arguing or trying to arrange our own transportation at this hour. Without hesitation, we got into the car and headed toward our destination.

The streets were eerily quiet, bathed only in the dim glow of the streetlights. The late hour made everything feel even more surreal.

My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, struggling to process everything. The revelation that Ruby was the biological child of my adoptive parents weighed heavily on me.

Why had they hidden her from the world all this time? Why had they never acknowledged her in front of others?

The more I thought about it, the deeper my frustration grew. These were the same people who had taken me from my real family long ago.

If they hadn't interfered, my life could have turned out so differently. Maybe even better.

As we drove past the edge of the forest, something outside caught my attention.

I turned my head toward the window, narrowing my eyes to get a clearer look. A small group of wolves sprinted between the trees, their dark shapes blending into the night.

I considered the possibility that they were just out for a late-night run. Deciding it wasn't worth overthinking, I leaned back into my seat and exhaled.

However, my brows furrowed slightly when the car took an all-too-familiar route. My heart skipped a beat as recognition settled in.

This road...

Realization dawned on me-I was being taken back to the house where I had once lived with Kane.

So when the driver said 'Alpha's house'... he meant this one?

Wren's words suddenly echoed in my mind. Kane had moved back here a few months ago.

The car rolled to a stop in front of the house. Without wasting a second, I stepped out, my parents following close behind.

The moment I stepped inside, an unexpected sight greeted me-Kane's mother, Diana, was in tears.

I froze in place, stunned. I had never seen her like this before. Garrett was beside

her, holding her gently, his hand rubbing soothing circles on her back.noveldrama

But as soon as their gazes landed on me and my parents, they stiffened. **) 08:26

I forced my feet to move forward and faced Diana

"Aunt Diana.... why are you crying?" I asked, my voice soft yet laced with concem

Without hesitation, Diana rushed toward me and pulled me into a tight embrace

I was caught completely off guard. She clung to me, her body trembling as fresh tears escaped her

eyes.

Never in my life had I seen her so fragile. She had always carried herself as a strong, commanding Luna, but right now, she seemed... broken.

I lifted my gaze toward Kane's father, Garrett. He gave my parents a small nod, and after a brief pause, they returned the gesture.

Diana finally loosened her grip on me but didn't let go entirely. Instead, she took my hands in hers, her fingers trembling.

"Please... if my family has ever wronged you, even unintentionally, I beg for your forgiveness," she said, her voice thick with raw emotion,

I blinked in confusion. What was she talking about?

Hadn't they called us here to hand Curtis and Leah over to us?

Sure, they might be upset with Ruby, but what did any of that have to do with me?

Diana's hands tightened around mine as she swallowed hard.

"Please, forgive my family, my child. You saved the pack's heir, yet we never acknowledged you."
