The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Chapter 388

“Kane, I still can’t believe how deeply you love her. You made her the Head Alpha of your pack!” Beta Finn said, shaking his head in disbelief. “I mean, we all understand why her brother had no choice but to hand her power–it was out of necessity. But you? You did it purely out of love. Even knowing she might move on with someone else, you still entrusted her with everything–your pack, your legacy.”

Finn sat across from Kane inside the dimly lit tent. The frigid night air seeped through the forest, and the absence of Delta Derek, who had yet to return from the Nightfall Pack, added an uneasy tension to the atmosphere.

The camp had been set up near the edge of the forest, close to a small village. Though Kane had claimed victory and taken over the pack, he wasn’t in a position to celebrate.

Their previous Alpha had done nothing to improve their lives, leaving them in poverty. To them, Kane was a beacon of hope, despite his own failing health.
