The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Chapter 122

My hands trembled as I gripped his collar, my fury boiling over to the point where I wanted to kill the man standing before me. But I forced myself to calm down and released him.

“Just shut your mouth,” I ordered.

He didn’t listen. Instead, he bombarded me with questions.

“What gave your brother the nerve to talk about my health? What did he think? That his sister got pregnant by someone else and it wasn’t because of her shameful actions?” His face was twisted with anger as he demanded answers.

I didn’t know what to say. My brother had provoked him by bringing up something he shouldn’t have. “I’ll take everything from you and your brother,” he snarled. “I’ll make your whole family kneel before me. Mark my words, Selene Hawthorne.”

“Leave my pack and don’t come back,” he added coldly. “We don’t need you here.”

“I’m leaving your pack this time,” he said with venom, “but I won’t let your brother go. The man who insulted me in front of the other Alphas will pay for it–with his life.”

His words shocked me to my core, and I roared back at him.

“Don’t you dare touch him! Death won’t come for him. Do you know why?”

He stared at me, his expression unreadable, but I didn’t care.

I stepped closer, lowering my voice to a dangerous whisper.

“Because I’m always with him. Anyone who tries to hurt him, I’ll tear their heart out of their chest.”

The threat was meant for him, loud and clear. I wanted him to know that if he even thought about harming my brother, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.

Kane didn’t move or respond. He seemed frozen, lost in his thoughts, as though he hadn’t even fully heard me.

I scoffed when I saw his gaze drop to my lips. Disgusted, I lifted my hand and wiped my lips as if I could erase the memory of his stare.

Without another word, I turned on my heel and walked away, my steps hurried. I needed to get far away from him before I lost control completely.

When I reached the living room, I headed straight to my room, moving as quickly as possible.

“Miss Selene?” a maid called out from behind me, stopping me in my tracks.
