Kane

As I locked eyes with the young boy, I noticed the hostility radiating from his gaze.

It should have been me looking at him like that. He wasn’t my blood–just the result of a one–night stand. What made this little kid so bold, so defiant, to glare at me this way?

My gaze shifted to Selene. Had she told him something about me? Filled his head with lies?

But my assumption was quickly proven wrong when she rushed toward him, reprimanding him.

“Leo, don’t talk like that. He’s our guest.”

“Mommy, I don’t like this man.”

I scoffed at his words, narrowing my eyes at him. Selene instinctively pulled him behind her, but the little brat still peeked out, refusing to back down.

“Uncle.”

A tiny hand wrapped around my finger, and I looked down to see Luna staring up at me.

I hesitated. The realization that she wasn’t my daughter still stung. I had spent an entire day with her, convinced she was mine.

“Luna, go to your room with Leo,” Selene instructed her.

I averted my gaze. A part of me still wanted to hold her, to cherish the bond I thought we had. But the DNA report echoed in my mind, and I instinctively pulled my hand away.

Her large, innocent eyes welled up with tears.

“Uncle, what’s wrong? Are you mad at me?”

I clenched my fists. Damn it. I made her cry.

Cursing myself internally, I bent down and lifted her into my arms.

“What are you doing?” Selene asked sharply.

I shot her a cold look. “Isn’t it obvious?”

I had come here for an alliance, but I hadn’t expected to find out that she was considering marrying Beta Axel. If I had known, I never would have come.

Luna lowered her head, avoiding my gaze.
