| was stunned by his sudden proposal. Everyone knew that every Alpha wanted to form an alliance with our pack.
That's why so many of them had tried to approach me. But Alpha Hunter's pack was already part of the alliance.
So why would he ask for my hand in marriage?
| slowly turned my head toward my brother to gauge his reaction.
| silently prayed he wouldn't say something stupid again. The last time, he almost arranged my marriage with
Axel. And now, Alpha Hunter?
| wanted to turn him down, so | opened my mouth to speak.
“Alpha Hunter, I-”
“I can’t accept your offer, Alpha Hunter,” my brother interrupted me.
| immediately turned to look at him. He met my gaze and gavea reassuring nod. Relief washed
over me.
But the other men standing around us turned their attention to the conversation. Sof the Alphas even
gasped at Magnus’s blunt rejection.
“But why?” Alpha Hunter demanded, his voice tinged with irritation.
“My sister isn’t interested in marriage right now. She has dreams she wants to pursue first. She wants to enjoy
her life before settling down. When she’s ready, we'll consider it,” Magnus said gently, his tone polite but firm.
Alpha Hunter, clearly unsatisfied, pressed further. “Then what about an engagement? She can still pursue her
dreams. | wouldn't stop her from doing anything she wants-she can continue her business, her life, everything.”
Before Magnus could respond, someone else spoke from behind us.
“Apologies, but she already has a boyfriend.”
| turned around, startled, to see Axel walking toward us.

Alpha Hunter raised an eyebrow. “Who? You?”
Axel cto stand besideand nodded.
“Yeah, that’s right. She's my girlfriend. And | don’t appreciate other people making marriage proposals to her.”
| stared at Axel, stunned. He turned to glance at me, but I quickly looked away. | couldn’t even bring myself to
scold him for this blatant lie. Without my consent, he'd told everyone that we were a couple.
Alpha Hunter glared at Axel, clearly unimpressed, before shifting his attention back to Magnus, who remained
calm and collected.
“Is he telling the truth, Magnus?” Alpha Hunter asked loudly, drawing even more attention from the
crowd.
| groaned internally. ‘What is this man’s problem? Why is he stirring up ?‘
Magnus gestured forto leave, and | assumed he wanted to speak to Alpha Hunter privately since they were
friends.

Not wanting to stay there any longer, | turned and walked toward the entrance. | couldn't wait to be back with
my babies.
On my way out, | glanced back at Magnus one last time. He was deep in conversation with Alpha Hunter, who
looked visibly offended.
My gaze accidentally locked with Alpha Hunter's, and | felt a chill run down my spine as his eyes roamed over
me. Disgusted, | quickly looked away.
“Pervert,” | muttered under my breath and left the party hall.
| drove back to the pack house in Magnus’s car. | hadn't told him | was leaving, but | knew he'd figure it
out,
When | arrived, | headed straight to my twins‘ room. Their little faces lit up as they saw me, and they jumped
with excitement. They were thrilled that I'd chearly.
After changing out of my formal clothes, | joined them for dinner. That night, | stayed in their room, sleeping with
both of them cuddled in my arms.
“Young Miss.”
| opened my eyes, groggy, as | heard someone calling my name. | turned my head to see my maid standing by
the bed, bowing respectfully.
| tried to move my arm but felt the weight of two little bodies clinging to me. My twins were fast asleep, their
faces peaceful.
Smiling at their innocent expressions, | kissed their heads softly before turning my attention to the ma id.
“What's going on? Is it tforto go to the office already?” | asked, carefully moving my arms away from the
kids.
“It's the weekend, Young Miss. You don’t have to go to the office today.”
“Then why are you wakingup so early?” | asked, slipping out of bed.
“Y-Your parents have returned to the pack house,” she replied hesitantly, her head lowered.
A smile spread across my face. It was good news. I'd been missing them so much, and now they were finally
back.
“That's great news!”
The maid's expression didn’t match mine. “No, Young Miss. There's also bad news. The Alpha is downstairs
talking with them. | thought | should let you know about their arrival.”
Her words puzzled me. What bad news could she mean?
Not wasting any time, | skipped freshening up and rushed downstairs to meet my parents.
When | reached the living room, | froze in my tracks. My father looked tense, and my mother was sobbing in
Magnus’s arms.
“Mom? Dad? What's going on?” | asked, my voice trembling.
They both turned to me, and I hurried over to my mother. She let go of Magnus and pulledinto a

tight hug.
“Your uncle... he's gone,” she choked out.
The news hitlike a brick. I didn’t know what to say or how to comfort her.

“He passed away yesterday,” she continued, her voice cracking with grief. “He was the only family | had left
besides you all... and now he’s gone. How am | supposed to go on?”
| realized my father hadn’t told us earlier, likely because if Magnus had gone to the funeral, | would have had to
go too. And who would've stayed with my children?
| stayed by my mother’s side the entire day, offering whatever comfort | could. She'd just lost someone so
important to her, and | couldn't bear to leave her alone.
That evening, | finally convinced her to eat something. Once she’d had dinner, | left my parents‘ room and
returned to my own.
When | opened the door, | was startled to find someone waiting for me.
“What are you doing here?” | asked, my voice tinged with irritation.
“Selene, how long are you going to stay mad at me?” Axel asked, his tone soft.
| sighed, staring at him. | considered Axel part of my family, and it was hard to hold a grudge against him for too
long.
“Axel, let's cut to the chase,” | said, closing the door behindas | approached him.
For the first time, he looked genuinely nervous. That only madefeel uneasy, as if | was about to hear
something | didn’t want to.
He took a deep breath, hesitated, and then finally said,
“I love you, Selene.”
