The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Kane's hands froze mid-motion, hovering over the clothes he had been moving. Selene immediately noticed the subtle change in his demeanor. Her brows

furrowed as concern crept into her voice.

Kane finally grabbed the clothes he had selected, closed the closet door, and turned to face her. His expression remained unreadable.

"Kane, I asked you something," Selene said, her voice firmer this time. There was a curiosity gnawing at her, one she couldn't ignore. She needed to know how Nyx, a stranger, had saved someone as powerful as him-a warrior Alpha feared by many.

eyes dimmed, fading back to their natural hue. She stared at the closed bathroom door, her thoughts racing. "What is wrong with him?" she murmured under her breath. He had been fine just moments ago. Was something bothering him? Was it the wound on his head? She shook her head, deciding not to push him for now.
