When Beta Finn first mentioned the alliance to me, | was taken aback. Why would they approach our pack? What

was driving their eagerness to secure this deal?

Honestly, | had expected Kane to leave yesterday, especially after my brother treated him with blatant contempt

and refused to let him stay in the packhouse. | was sure he would have walked away by

now.

So why was he still here? What was he after?

That's why | waited before heading to the meeting hall. | wanted to see what was happening-but only after they

had already gathered.

As the Alpha'’s sister, the guards couldn’t stopfrom going near the hall. However, instead of stepping inside, |

simply lingered outside, listening.

What | overheard caughtoff guard.

Finn's explanation of the alliance was... impressive. | had never heard of a proposal like this before.

And then, when one of the Alphas brought up the topic of war, Kane's response stunnedeven

more.

He said he would personally step in to help.

Was he serious?

It was unheard of for an Alpha to willingly fight in another pack’s war without ulterior motives. Normally, it would

be an opportunity to weaken the other pack, not support it.

| figured my brother would logically hand the deal over to the Nightfall Pack. As a businesswoman, | understood

the strategic direction we should take.

But instead of considering Kane's offer, Magnus suddenly burst into laughter.

Curious, | nudged the door open slightly for a better look. The room was filled with men seated around the large

table, most of them looking puzzled. My gaze landed on Kane-he seemed just as confused as they were.

“Alpha Kane Thorne, you're a joke, man,” Magnus scoffed, still laughing.

“Do you really think my pack needs you? I'm more than capable of protecting my own. You-who were defeated

by my sister and lost business to her-think you can supportin a war? You've got to be kidding.”

My eyes widened in shock. He shouldn't have said that. Not in front of everyone.

“That was unnecessary, Magnus...” | muttered under my breath, my frustration growing

Kane's men immediately stood up, their tension filling the room. Finn, visibly enraged, let out a warning growl at

Magnus, shocking everyone.

Axel wasn’t having it. He growled back. “How dare you growl at my Alpha?” he snapped, glaring at

Finn.

“Then tell your Alpha to watch his words,” Finn shot back. “Has he forgotten who he’s speaking to?”

| stole a glance at Kane, half-expecting him to lose his temper and challenge my brother.

But he didn’t.

Instead, he remained composed, raising a hand to silence the escalating argument between the two Betas.

“Everyone, sit down. Let Alpha Magnus speak,” Kane said coolly.

His men clearly didn’t want to stay in that room a second longer, but they had no choice. Their Alpha had given

an order, and they were bound to follow it.

Magnus smirked. “It’s true-I’'m more than strong enough on my own. Maybe | don’t need your help. And that’s

fine. There's no need to argue over it. | wouldn't want to hurt your ego.”

Kane's voice remained controlled, but something about his tone suggested he was restraining himself.

Magnus slowly rose to his feet, completely indifferent to Kane's standing in the room. His eyes swept over the

table before landing on Alpha Hunter.

“This alliance goes to the Steel Valley Pack. Congratulations, Alpha Hunter,” Magnus announced.

His words sent shockwaves through the hall.

Kane stood abruptly, his patience finally snapping.

“| object.”

Magnus scoffed. “This isn’t a courtroom, Kane. You can’t ‘object.’ This is my pack’s meeting, and | decide who

gets the deal.”

“You can't just hand it over without reason.”

“I don’t like your offer.”

“We can negotiate.”

“Why do you even want this alliance so badly?”

“I just do,” Kane admitted, his voice firm. “I want this alliance. And if you have concerns, you're free to amend

the terms however you see fit.”

| rubbed my forehead, exhaling sharply. What are you doing, Kane?”

| wasn’t sure what | wanted out of this situation, but | knew one thing-I didn’t want a fight breaking out here.

Magnus scoffed again. “There’s no way in hell I'd ever tie my pack to yours. You're not worthy of an alliance. In

fact, I'm pretty sure several Alphas in this room could take you out in a war. The only reason people bow to you

is because your father handed you a massive pack.”

His words carried a biting edge. Around the room, other Alphas slowly rose from their seats, sensing the

impending confrontation between the two men.

“And let's not forget,” Magnus continued, his smirk widening. “Alpha Kane isn’t exactly the most... stable person.

From what I've heard, he was married a few years ago, but the girl walked out on him. And let's not even talk

about his current situation-no engagement, no wedding. Makes you wonder if there's something wrong with

him.”

“Watch your mouth, Alpha Magnus,” Kane's Gamma warned, his eyes flashing,with anger.

| turned away from the hall, pulling at my hair in frustration.

| tried to mind-link my brother to make him stop, but he had already blockedout.

Axel and the others tried to reach him too, but Magnus had shut down all links, ensuring everyone rem ained

focused on the meeting.

| kept trying-until Kane's voice, sharp and furious, rang through the hall.

“You don’t need to concern yourself with my wife.”

“Ex-wife,” Axel muttered under his breath.

| turned back to the scene inside the hall just in tto see Kane glaring at Axel, who merely rolled his eyes in

response.

Then, Kane locked eyes with Magnus and delivered his final words with cold, unwavering certainty. “Fuck your

alliance. You'll pay for this.”
