The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Chapter 123

hapter 123

“Young Miss, the Alpha is calling you for dinner.”

I heard my maid’s voice from outside the room as she knocked softly on the door.

“I don’t want to,” I replied without bothering to open it.

“I’m afraid Luna and Leo won’t eat if you don’t come down for dinner,” she added hesitantly.

I sighed heavily before dragging myself over to the door. When I opened it unexpectedly, the maid startled, taking a step back as her head jerked toward me.

“Where are they?” I asked, my voice devoid of emotion.

“In the dining room with the Alpha.”

I nodded and brushed past her, heading to the dining room.

When I entered, my gaze immediately landed on my twins. They were already eating, sitting comfortably with their uncle.

“That maid lied to me,” I muttered under my breath.

“She didn’t lie. I sent her,” Magnus said, his piercing eyes locking onto mine as he spoke.

I walked toward the table and sank into the seat closest to his. Luna and Leo both turned their innocent eyes toward me.

“Mommy, are you upset?” Leo asked, his small voice laced with concern.

I shook my head slightly and picked up my fork, avoiding further conversation. I wasn’t in the mood to talk or explain myself.

My thoughts were tangled, my chest heavy. I knew exactly why–I was still seething from Kane’s actions and words. Anger churned within me, threatening to consume me entirely, but I had no outlet for it, no way to let it go.

“Is everything okay?” Magnus asked, his tone softer now.

“Hmm,” I hummed noncommittally.

“Are you mad at me?” He leaned closer, his voice gentle, almost apologetic.

I paused mid–bite and turned to him. “No, Magnus. I’m just not feeling well.”

He reached out, his hand pressing lightly against my forehead. “Do you have a fever?” He frowned, studying me carefully.
