< The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs

Chapter 396

Just as Selene turned, the enemy Alpha was mere inches from reaching her.

Nathan’s breath hitched–this wasn’t what he wanted. Killing her wasn’t part of the plan. He had intended to capture Selene, to force her submission, to make her hand over leadership of the pack.

But as the Alpha lunged forward, aiming the knife at Selene’s wolf, a strong hand shot out and gripped the blade mid–strike.

Nathan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“K–Kane?”

The enemy Alpha barely had time to react before Kane ripped the knife from his grasp, his palm splitting open from the force. Blood dripped down his fingers, but he paid it no mind. His hand shot out, seizing the back of the Alpha’s neck in an iron grip.

The Alpha’s men rushed forward, but Kane didn’t give them a chance. He plunged the stolen knife deep into the man’s throat.

The Alpha gurgled, his body convulsing before going limp.

Kane released him, letting the lifeless body slump to the ground. The battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

His dark eyes found Nathan.

“What was that you were saying?” Kane asked, his voice edged with amusement. “That I was lying somewhere, lifeless?”

Nathan stared in shock. His gaze swept over Kane’s body, scanning for injuries. His legs looked perfectly fine beneath his black joggers. He was shirtless, revealing only two visible wounds—a gash on his right arm and claw marks raking across his chest.

But when Nathan’s eyes landed on Kane’s neck, his breath caught.

His expression twisted in confusion. “Did… did she mark you?”
