I was in conversation with one of my board members when Kane let out a scoff at my response. The man beside me wanted to confront him, but I held him back.

Turning to Kane, I met his gaze. "You were saying?"

His presence at my brother's party caught me off guard. Given his arrogance and tendency to show up only for crucial company meetings, I hadn't expected him to come.

Kane slammed his glass onto the bar counter - a gesture that would make most people jump, but not me.

I held his hate-filled stare, pretending to be amused by his hostility.

"Another conquest of yours, isn't he?"

I arched an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"First Axel, then Alpha Magnus, now this guy. How many men did you have to use to get where you are?" His accusation stunned me, but I kept my cool. Instead of lashing out, I gave him a mocking smile and glanced toward Ruby. She was chatting with some women who carried themselves like old money, probably bragging about her relationship with Kane.

"Sounds like you're projecting your personal issues onto others because you can't deal with them yourself."

When I looked back at Kane, his frown deepened, clearly stung by my comment. His jaw clenched as -he fought to maintain control.

What was he going to do? Try to attack me?

Someone cleared their throat, and I noticed Beta Finn standing there. He gave me a wave. "Don't mind my Alpha. He's just-"

Kane silenced him with a glare.

I shrugged. "Good to see you again, Beta Finn."

With that, I walked away from the bar.

I couldn't help but shake my head, imagining Kane's reaction when he discovered my true identity. While

the thought of shocking him tonight brought me satisfaction, his words still cut deep.

I could act cold toward him, but my wolf had other ideas. She still yearned for him.

Even if I wanted to, rejecting an Alpha wasn't an option for any she-wolf. The only way to break an

unwanted bond was to receive another wolf's mark.

But I wasn't ready for any relationship right now.

"Boss, Leo and Luna are on the phone," Rachel said, approaching me.

"What did they say?"

"They want to come to the party."

My heart sank. Nothing would make me happier than telling everyone about my children. But for now, I 13:08

had to keep them hidden from other Alphas.

This party was solely about revealing my identity. If they learned about my twins, they'd inevitably ask about their father. I couldn't handle those questions, and I didn't want my children exposed to pack politics, especially since I wasn't married. Even if people guessed Kane was their father, he'd probably deny it and brand my children with some cruel label.

"Tell them I'll be home soon."noveldrama

"Yes, boss."

Rachel stepped aside to relay my message. When she returned, she said, "They want you to make it up to them."

"How so?"

"They're demanding quality time tomorrow."

I chuckled, picturing my babies' pouty faces. They were adorable when demanding attention. I felt guilty about being so caught in work lately.

"Alright, I'll take them somewhere special tomorrow," I told Rachel, who responded with a knowing smile.

Just then, my brother's voice came over the microphone. Everyone gathered near the stage as he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. While I arranged this party, my father will be making tonight's announcement."

The crowd applauded as Magnus handed the microphone to our father, giving him a supportive pat on the shoulder.

"It's been a while since I've made an announcement. Last time, I gathered you all to pass my pack leadership to my son, Magnus. Today's matter is different." My father began.

My mother joined him, taking his hand. He continued, "As you've heard, my daughter wasn't dead, just missing. We kept this secret for years to protect her."

My parents looked my way, and I gave them an encouraging smile.

"Today, I'd like to introduce you to our daughter, Avalon Hawthorne."

"Come here, sweetheart," my father extended his hand.

All eyes turned to me as I made my way to the stage, maintaining a subtle smile.

Standing between my parents, holding my father's hand, I was met with applause.

"This is my daughter, Avalon, though she'll go by Selene Hawthorne. She prefers this name, so we've made it official.

My pack members erupted in cheers while the other Alphas stared in obvious amazement. Their stunned expressions didn't escape my notice.
