The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane)

Ruby instinctively stepped back, nearly colliding with Gamma Storm. He swiftly caught her by the arms, steadying her before pushing her slightly away.

When her eyes met his, a shiver of fear ran through her. He looked more like a predator than a man- one who could pounce on her without a moment's hesitation.

Lowering her gaze, she turned to Kane, her expression tense with unease. "Kane, why would you say that? When did I ever do such a thing?"

Kane remained seated, his posture relaxed as he leaned back against the couch, showing no signs of agitation.

When she noticed Finn handing him a cigarette and lighting it, she swallowed hard.

Kane-and every one of his men-intimidated her.

Only one thought echoed in her mind:

How did Kane find out about this?

After gathering her courage, she finally dared to ask.

"Did Selene tell you this? Kane, she's lying to you."

Kane's gaze locked onto her, his expression unreadable behind the swirling smoke that curled from his lips and drifted around him.

Summoning her boldness, she stepped closer and knelt before him. Taking his hand gently, she spoke in a soft, pleading voice. "I have never lied to you, Kane. You were always mine from the start. So why would I ever deceive you?"

His reaction was swift-he yanked his hand away as if burned.

"If that's true, then why did you spin those stories? You told me she abused you. But that first time, when you showed me the fingerprints on your cheek... those weren't even hers. Who slapped you that day?"

Ruby's eyes widened. Why was he digging so deep?noveldrama

She had long forgotten about that incident. It had been seven years since she first met Kane-how could he expect her to remember every little detail?

"Kane, now you're just accusing me unfairly. I carry myself with dignity. You can't throw baseless blame at me," she said sharply, rising to her feet.

Turning swiftly, she headed toward the door, but Delta Derek stepped in her path, blocking her exit.

Fury flared in her eyes as she snapped at him. "How dare you stand in my way?" She knew Kane too well-if she stayed here any longer, he'd unravel everything. "Watch your mouth when speaking to my Delta," Kane's deep voice cut through the tension, sending a shiver down her spine. "And don't forget who made you that so-called dignified woman."

Her breath hitched as she slowly turned to see Kane rising from the couch.

Instinctively, she backed away when he took a deliberate step toward her. Then, in a flash, he was right in front of her.

Everything else seemed frozen-the world itself held still-except for him.

Something in her face made Kane narrow his gaze, his focus sharpening.

"Why do I see nothing but lies in your eyes?"

She shook her head frantically, her voice a desperate murmur. "Kane, I swear, I didn't lie to you. It's that bitch-she's the one fooling you."

A low, menacing growl rumbled from Kane's chest as his hand shot out, gripping her throat.

"Don't you ever talk about my woman like that again."
