"Selene, this pack doesn't deserve you or your family," Grayson said firmly. "I don't trust anyone here to handle your brother's treatment properly. I probably shouldn't say this, but I have no faith in this pack's head Alpha. I don't believe he'll protect your family."

His words made me pause. Was he right? Would Kane interfere with Magnus's treatment?

I chewed on my bottom lip, thinking back to Kane's confession just hours ago. He had even warned me to stay away from Grayson.

But then another memory surfaced-how Kane had always safeguarded my family's reputation in this pack. He had never allowed them to be humiliated or mistreated.

"Selene, what's on your mind?" Grayson's voice pulled me from my thoughts.

I sighed before responding, "Grayson, let's not talk about this now. I just want my brother to wake up first. I don't think Kane would ever harm my family. At the end of the day, they're the ones who raised his children-he wouldn't do anything to them."

Grayson fell silent, and I could sense his frustration. Clearing my throat, I softened my voice.

"Please don't be upset with me. I know you only want what's best for me and my family. I also know staying in this pack for my sake has been difficult for you. But my children are here. How can I just up and leave them behind? Please, just wait until my brother wakes up. After that, I promise I'll do as you say."

A pause. Then, finally, his answer came.

"...Okay. As you wish."

Relief washed over me as Grayson agreed. Moments later, he ended the call, and I let out a deep breath.

Just as I was about to lie back down, a loud crash echoed from downstairs.

I shot upright, my pulse quickening. Without hesitation, I rushed out of my

bedroom and sprinted toward the staircase. The crashing noises were coming from the living room.

Peering down, I saw my father in a furious rage, smashing everything in his path. My mother stood behind him, desperately trying to hold him back.

Panic surged through me as I hurried downstairs. "Dad, what's going on?"

He whipped around to face me, his expression twisted with fury. And then he

spoke words that sent a tremor through my entire being.

"That bastard, Gamma Curtis-he was the one who kidnapped you when you were

a child. I should have hunted him down and killed him years ago."

I froze. My breath caught in my throat.

"What?"

My mother turned to me, her eyes brimming with tears. She nodded, confirming the unthinkable. "Alpha Kane uncovered the truth and called us to his house."

"I'm coming with you," I declared, already turning back toward the stairs to change out of my nightclothes.

But my father's voice stopped me in my tracks.

"No, Selene. You don't need to be there. We'll decide the punishment they deserve."

I met his gaze, my own eyes flashing with a fierce, glowing blue.

"No," I said firmly. "I need to be there. I need to see them suffer for what they did

to me. They tormented me when I was just a child. I won't be satisfied until I witness them at their lowest."

My mother turned away, unable to meet my eyes. I stepped closer, gently taking her hand.

She was trembling. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and I instinctively wiped them away. "Mom, what else is wrong?"

Instead of answering, she pulled me into a tight embrace. Her voice was barely above a whisper as she murmured, "There's more, Selene... Curtis has a daughter."

I frowned, confused. "And?"

She took a shaky breath. "It's Ruby-Kane's ex-fiancée."

Everything inside me went still.

"WHAT?"

My mother pulled back slightly, cupping my face in her hands.

"All these years,” she said, her voice thick with emotion, "those three have been deceiving everyone."
