The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Kane sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on the door Selene had

disappeared through. The silence in the room was heavy, yet his mind buzzed with thoughts he couldn't shake.

His gaze shifted to the twins, resting peacefully on the bed. But the storm brewing in his eyes betrayed the calm he had shown earlier. Slowly, he lowered Luna's head onto the pillow next to Leo and stood.

He took deliberate steps toward the door, his hand gripping the doorknob. For a moment, he seemed ready to leave, but he hesitated. Kane turned his head to look at the twins again, their small forms illuminated by the soft glow of the bedside lamp.

His grip on the doorknob tightened briefly before he inhaled deeply and let go. Instead of leaving, he turned back to the room and strode toward the couch near the bed.

Reaching into his pocket, Kane pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He slid one out and placed it between his lips, though he didn't light it. His eyes kept drifting back to the twins, and his jaw clenched.

With a sharp motion, Kane took the cigarette from his lips and flung it to the floor. His hands trembled slightly, his frustration clear. The red in his eyes deepened, his usual calm giving way to a fierceness that could make anyone tremble.

Kane's eyes snapped back to their usual dark shade, assuming Selene had returned. But instead of Selene, his beta, Finn, entered the room and quietly shut the door behind him.

Finn glanced at Kane briefly before his eyes went to Leo. "I heard he's sick," Finn said, his tone low as he stepped toward the couch.

Kane answered with a curt, "Hmm."

Finn hesitated, studying his Alpha carefully. Something about Kane's posture, the tension in his shoulders, felt off.

"Kane?" Finn ventured cautiously.
