The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs by Avery Rose

Chapter 111

The moment | stepped back into my pack’s territory, a gentle breeze brushed against my face, instantly lifting

my spirits and makingfeel a little better.

It was such a relief to be home. As | arrived at the airport, | spotted my driver waiting. He quickly stepped

forward to take my and Rachel's luggage while we made our way to the car.

After dropping Rachel off at her place, | finally reached the packhouse late in the evening.

As soon as | stepped inside, | was greeted by the sight of my twins running towardat full speed. | knelt down,

opening my arms wide, and pulled them into a warm embrace.

“Mommy!”

“My babies!”

When | looked up, | saw Magnus and Axel standing nearby, smiling at us. Releasing my children from my arms, |

got up and walked toward my brother, wrapping him in a brief hug before asking.

“Magnus, is everything alright?”

“Of course, little one. Why would you think otherwise?” he responded with a smirk.

| gave him a knowing look. “You called Axel here, so | assumed...”

Magnus chuckled. “Everything's fine. You do realize he’s not just your assistant, right? He's also this pack’s Beta.

Sometimes, his Alpha actually needs him, too.” His teasing tone made Axel androll our eyes.

“Magnus,” | huffed, playfully swatting his arm. The others chuckled at our exchange.

“Mommy, we missed you,” Leo said sweetly.

“Mommy, this is for you,” Luna added, handinga piece of paper.

| glanced down and saw a drawing-a sketch of a woman waving at two children while holding luggage. Luna had

always been talented at art, expressing her emotions beautifully through her sketches.

Smiling, | kissed her cheek and pulled both of them into another hug. “Mommy missed you both so much, too.

Now, let’s go to your room-I brought lots of gifts for my babies!”

Hand in hand, | led them upstairs, glancing back at Magnus and Axel. Magnus gavea small nod, silently

granting permission forto spend twith my children.

A maid followed behind, carrying my luggage from the car. | thanked her, and she gavea polite bow before

leaving.

Once inside the twins‘ room, | handed them the clothes and gifts | had bought for them. Their little faces lit up

with excitement, and they started bouncing up and down on the bed with pure joy. Watching their happiness, |

couldn't help but laugh, shaking my head in amusement.

Later that evening, as | was relaxing in my room after a shower, a maid cto informthat Magnus was

callingto the dining room. Apparently, he was waiting for me.

When | entered the dining room, | saw Magnus and Axel already seated.

“Where are Luna and Leo?” | asked.

“They already ate,” Axel responded.

| nodded. “That's good.”

Pulling out a chair beside Magnus, | sat down, and we began eating in silence, exchanging occasional glances.

After a while, | set down my fork and asked, “Magnus, is there something you want to say?”

He took a sip of his drink before replying. “Finish your meal first. There are several things we need to discuss.”

A lump formed in my throat, and my appetite vanished instantly. | knew exactly what he meant-he was going to

questionabout recent events.

What worriedmost was his reaction. He hadn't calledonce to check in, which was a bad sign.

Noticing how his gaze lingered on my half-full plate, | forced myself to eat a little more.

Once dinner was over, we moved to the living room.

Magnus wasted no time. “Where did he take you that night?” he asked directly.

| averted my gaze, my thoughts racing. How could | tell my brother where Kane had takenand what had

happened between us?

“| asked you a question, Selene.”

| sighed. “Magnus, he just wanted to talk.”

His expression darkened. “You said the sthing after the council party.”

Lowering my head, | admitted, “I think he just wanted to release that news to humiliate me.”

Magnus nodded, his jaw tightening. “He always tries to humiliate you, doesn’t he?”

| nodded in agreement. His eyes darkened even further.

“This time, Ill show him what true humiliation feels like.”

My brows furrowed in concern. “Magnus, what are you planning to do?”

Axel cut in before Magnus could answer. “You don’t need to worry about it, Selene.”

| frowned. “I can’t just sit back and let two packs go to war over snews.”

Magnus stared atfor a long moment, his piercing gaze makinguneasy.

-Would

you care if | fought against him one day?” he asked suddenly.

| shook my head. “Magnus, why are you saying this? | would never want that.”

“Who do you care for more-him or me?”

“You, of course, Magnus.”

His expression hardened. “Then what are you afraid of? Don’t you trust your brother? Do you think | can’t win

against him?”

A chill ran down my spine. Could Magnus actually defeat Kane?

My brother was undeniably a formidable warrior, but what | had seen in the forest still haunted me. Kane’s wolf

was... something else.

Taking a deep breath, | said, “I believe you can win against anyone, Magnus. But | don’t want a war right now.

Please, don’t start a conflict with the Nightfall Pack.”

Magnus exhaled sharply and stood up. Walking over, he gently patted my head.

| lifted my gaze to meet his.

“I love you, Magnus. | love Mom and Dad. War means the risk of losing family members, and | don’t want to lose

any of you.”

His hand moved to my face, his thumb brushing away the tears | hadn’t even realized were falling. The mere

thought of war was enough to break me.

I had never witnessed a war before, nor did | ever want to.

Magnus sighed. “I'm not calling for war... yet. But what Kane is doing to you? That, | won't tolerate. He dared to

touch my sister after my last warning. His arrogance needs to be crushed-and I'll make sure it happens soon.”
