Alpha Hunter's words leftstunned. What was his purpose in saying that?
As another Alpha approached to congratulate him, Hunter turned to face the man.

“It was your project from the start, Alpha Hunter. Everyone knew Alpha Magnus would hand it over to his friend,”
the man said.
“Of course,” Hunter replied calmly.
Standing behind them, | overheard their conversation. Not wanting to linger, | turned away and headed in the
opposite direction.
| wasn’t in the mood to listen to any of it. Thankfully, this wasn’t my company’s event, where I'd have to endure
the role of hostess.
| found a couch, sat down, and pulled out my phone. Scrolling through the news, a few headlines caught my
attention.
One article caught my eye. It detailed how Alpha Magnus had humiliated Alpha Kane during a meeting.
A few Alphas were quoted in the report, describing what my brother had said to Kane. | couldn't help but roll my
eyes. Most of what they claimed was exaggerated nonsense.

It was clear people were delighted to see the rivalry between the Nightfall Pack and the Iron Crown Pack reignite.
No one wanted the two powerful packs to reconcile or align.
Curious, | searched to see if Alpha Kane had made any public statements about the situation. There was nothing.
It was obvious he had chosen to stay silent after such humiliation. The whole thing was as insulting as losing a
battle.
| overheard snearby Alphas gossiping about Kane's perceived failures. Their words madefurrow my
brows.
Locking my phone, I glanced at the couches near mine.
“Alpha Magnus was right. There was news about Alpha Kane's wedding years ago. But who was the woman? He
never marked her, and she disappeared into thin air,” one of them said.
“Exactly. Vanished without a trace. Did he kill her?” another added.
“Maybe. Or he paid her off to keep quiet. A man’s rank or power means nothing if he can’t satisfy a woman in
bed,” someone else joked.
Their laughter rang out, loud and shameless.
| looked away, anger simmering inside me. How could they speak so recklessly about something they knew
nothing about? Would they dare say such things to Kane's face?
“Don’t think about him, Selene. Just distract yourself,” | muttered to myself. Rising from the couch, | made my
way to a waiter carrying drinks.
Grabbing a glass from the tray, | downed it in one go before placing the empty glass back. The waiter looked
startled by my boldness.
| shrugged, indifferent to whether I got drunk or not. All | wanted was to push every thought of that

| heard my brother's voice calling me. Turning toward the sound, | spotted Magnus waving atfrom across the
room. He was beckoningto join him.
I nodded and made my way over. As | approached, | noticed Alpha Hunter and a few others standing with him.
Alpha Hunter's gaze locked on me, but I ignored him, standing firmly beside my brother.
“Alpha Hunter was just talking about inviting us to his pack,” Magnus informed me.
“Magnus, | think you should go. I'm a bit tied up with company matters,” | said politely.
Before Magnus could respond, Alpha Hunter interjected.
“Oh, con. You're so stunning. Maybe other CEOs hand you projects just by looking at you.”

My instinct was to roll my eyes, but | held back, keeping my composure. Was he seriously flirting within front
of my brother?
His words, however, felt insulting, so | cleared my throat and replied, “You're mistaken. | get projects because of
my skills, not my looks.”
The men around us, including Alpha Hunter, seemed taken aback by my response. They clearly hadn't expected
Magnus grinned, proud of me. Wrapping an arm around my shoulder, he turned to Alpha Hunter and said, “My
sister is extraordinary. Everything she touches turns to gold. She works hard for every achievement, so choose
your words carefully.”
Alpha Hunter chuckled awkwardly. “Honestly, I'm just blown away by her beauty.”
His comment caughtoff guard. Magnus, meanwhile, frowned at him.
“Magnus, we've been friends for a long time. Why don’t we deepen that bond?” Hunter suggested. “What do you
mean?” Magnus asked, his tone measured.
Hunter glanced atand smirked. Something about his expression unsettled me, though I tried to piece
together the meaning of his words.
| wasn’t naive. His intentions were clear. But I'd never seen another Alpha make such a bold proposal to Magnus.
Everyone knew how protective my brother was. Most wouldn't even dare look my way, let alone speak openly
about me.
Turning back to Magnus, Alpha Hunter made his intentions clear.
“I want your sister to be my Luna.”
