The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane)

Kane buried his face in her neck, his nose grazing her ear. Selene's breath hitched.

Even though she wanted nothing to do with him, their closeness sent electricity through her body. "Why did you do it? I thought you were..." Kane's voice trailed off as his mouth moved to her neck, his emotions spiraling out of control.

Her scent was intoxicating, making him lose touch with reality.

Though he could face thousands of wolves in battle, his wolf nature couldn't resist his mate's scent.

As he inhaled deeply, nuzzling her neck, Selene's eyes grew wide. She knew exactly what was happening, but his touch left her paralyzed.

He was marking the spot where mates left their claim - her weak spot. She was surprised he still remembered exactly where she was most sensitive.

Kane pressed closer, his eyes falling shut. This woman was driving him crazy.

He couldn't forget how long he'd waited for her to return, begging for his forgiveness. Watching her vulnerable had become his obsession.

Her new confidence threw him off balance, but he couldn't deny their mate bond. Her presence soothed both him and his wolf.

He wanted to claim her right here, right now. He was losing control.

The moment his lips touched her neck, she summoned all her strength and shoved him away.

Reality crashed back into him as he stumbled backward. He was shocked by his own actions. How could

he get so close to her when he'd been furious with her? How could he do this after learning she had children with another man?

Had he lost his mind? Or had she bewitched him?

"Stay away from me," Selene snarled, glaring daggers at him.

Irritated with himself, he looked away before turning back to her. "Stop being so dramatic," he muttered.

She touched the spot where his lips had been, wiping at it with disgust.

Kane stared at her, stunned. Her reaction felt like a slap in the face - like he repulsed her.

"Drop the act. You wanted all of this five years ago. Now suddenly you're acting like I'm poison?"

In a burst of fury, Selene rushed forward and shoved his chest.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you have no right to me anymore?"

Something in Kane snapped. He grabbed her waist firmly. "I know exactly what rights I have. Sure, maybe we're not married anymore - you're right about that. But don't forget you're still my mate. I never rejected you."

Selene broke free from his grip, surprising him. She'd suddenly found the strength to stand up to him. She had backbone now!

"Keep dreaming. Nothing will ever happen between us again."

Kane sneered. "Woman, wake up. I don't want that either. Someone who has children out of wedlock doesn't deserve to be my mate."

Selene nodded curtly and reached for the doorknob, throwing it wide open. "Perfect. Now get out." "Don't forget this is my house," Kane growled.

"You're right. Then I'll be the one to leave."

Kane's expression shifted - he hadn't meant to drive her away.

But if she wanted to leave, he wouldn't stop her. He refused to look desperate.

"You don't deserve to be here anyway."

With that, he stormed out.

"Kane," she called after him, "I'm only here because I'm helping Alpha Garrett. Otherwise, I'd rather die than see your disgusting face again. You were right yesterday - that's the only reason I came back. But don't worry, I'm leaving your house now. You should be happy."

Selene slammed the door hard enough to rattle the walls.

"Damn this fate and this mate bond. I need to do something about it."

She cursed her destiny, running her hands through her hair in frustration.

After collecting herself, she changed and left the pack house, explaining to Kane's parents that she

couldn't stay under the same roof as their son. She returned to her hotel room.

Her kids kept asking questions about Kane, forcing her to come up with explanations while swearing them to secrecy.

One thing Selene realized she hadn't shown weakness around Kane today. In fact, her wolf was stronger than she'd ever expected.noveldrama
