"Stay out of this, Kane. Just let go of my daughter-"

Before I could finish, Kane ended the call, making my blood boil with rage. I pulled the phone away from my ear, staring at the screen in frustration.

Just minutes ago, when Beta Finn called to tell me he had found Luna, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. I had been searching for her everywhere, desperate to bring her home.

.But the moment I realized she was with Kane, a new wave of fear crashed over me. I had no idea what he was planning or what I should do next.

How could he be so heartless? He had kidnapped a child-my child.

"What did he say?" Axel's voice broke through my thoughts as he placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

I turned to him, shaking my head. "He wants to know about their father. I think he's figured something out."

Axel's eyebrows shot up. "How much does he know?"

"I don't know, Axel. He said he'll send me an address, but he won't let me take Luna unless I tell him the truth. How the hell am I supposed to do that?" My fingers tangled in my hair as frustration consumed me. No matter how much success I achieved, no matter how many deals I stole from him, Kane still knew my greatest weakness.

I was in my room, pacing restlessly. My entire family knew about Luna's disappearance, and they were doing everything possible to find her. But when Finn called, I told them a friend had found her. I didn't want them reaching out to Kane directly-what if he hurt Luna out of spite?

"Selene, what are you doing?" Axel's voice was laced with concern as he watched me stride toward my closet.

I ignored him, opening the closet door. My hands trembled slightly as I unlocked a drawer and pulled out a gun.noveldrama

Axel's eyes widened in shock. "What the hell are you thinking?"

He lunged forward to grab the gun, but I twisted away from him, refusing to let go.

"Don't stop me, Axel. He wants the truth? Fine. I'll tell him everything-everything I've been holding inside.

And then I'll kill him," I said through clenched teeth, tears streaming down my face.

Axel shook his head, his voice firm. "Don't do something reckless, Selene. Think this through."

"I CAN'T!" I screamed as he grabbed my wrist. My whole body shook with fear and fury. "What do you think he'll do once he finds out the truth? He's Kane Thorne. That man will never let me live in peace with my children. I can't lose them, Axel. I just can't."

I bit my lip, trying to hold back more tears as my emotions spiraled out of control. Axel tightened his grip on my wrists, forcing me to let go of the gun just as I was about to raise it.

"You can't do this, Selene. Listen to me," he urged, his voice softer now. "We can't hurt him—not when his reason for being here is to attend the party Alpha Magnus organized."

I froze, my breath catching. Magnus. My brother had put effort into maintaining peace, and I couldn't drag him into my mess. I couldn't risk his safety because of my personal war with Kane.

"Then what am I supposed to do?" I whispered, feeling utterly lost.

Axel took the gun from me, placed it back in the drawer, and shut the closet door. Magnus had given. me that gun for protection, but right now, I felt more vulnerable than ever.

Axel pulled me into a hug, and I broke down completely. "I don't know what to do anymore. If Kane finds out the truth, what will he do?"

He stroked my hair gently, trying to calm me, but his next words sent a shiver down my spine.

"He'll never find out. Your children are protected by magic."

I pulled back slightly, looking up at him in shock. "W-What?"

"At their birth, Alpha Malcolm called Raven to the back house to bless them. But your mother... she asked

him to cast a spell-one that would conceal their true parentage."

I stumbled back, my mind reeling. When had my parents done that? And why had they never told me?

It suddenly made sense-why Kane, a powerful Alpha, hadn't been able to sense his own children.

Even his wolf couldn't recognize them as his own. It was all because of the spell.

"But... what if he already knows? What if that's why he called me?" My voice was barely above a whisper. Panic clawed at my chest.

Axel shook his head. "No one can break Raven's spell. He isn't just any sorcerer."

A small sense of relief washed over me. At least, for now, the truth was still hidden.

"What do I tell him?" I asked, my voice steadier now.

"Lie," Axel said without hesitation.

Just then, my phone buzzed. A message from Kane. He had sent me an address.

I exhaled sharply, gripping my phone tightly. Luna, I'm coming for you. Just hold on.

Without wasting another second, I rushed out of the pack house.

"Where are you going?" my parents asked as I passed them.

"I'm getting Luna back."

Magnus wasn't home, but I sent him a quick message, letting him know what I had told our parents. I didn't want him worrying too much.

"Let's go," Axel said, holding the car door open for me.

I stopped in front of the vehicle, hesitating. I didn't want him coming with me. Kane had already suspected

my children were Axel's once. If he saw us together now, it would only make things worse.

"I want to go alone," I said firmly.

Axel's jaw tightened. "No way. I'm not letting you face that man alone."

"I'll make up an excuse. Don't worry."

"Absolutely not. I don't trust Kane, and neither should you. You didn't tell Magnus about this, but if he 14:26

finds out later, he'll never forgive me for letting you go alone."

I tried to argue, but it was pointless. Axel wasn't backing down. +5Bonus >

Defeated, I got into the car. He started the engine, and as we drove off, I sank into my thoughts.

I thought of my other child-Leo. He had been devastated after losing sight of Luna.

"I'm sorry, Mom," he had whispered over and over when he finally found me, after I had stepped away to buy ice cream for him and Luna.

He was just a child. I could never blame him for what happened. This was my fault-for not protecting them better. For giving Kane the opportunity to use my daughter as leverage against me.

The entire ride was silent, but my mind was anything but.

Fear gripped me.

I prayed Luna was safe.

Because if Kane was capable of hurting me, I knew he wouldn't hesitate to do the same to my children. And I would never forgive him for that.
