The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403 

** 

Time was slipping away, and the anticipation in the hall was palpable. Every guest eagerly waited the start of the crown ceremony, their excited murmurs filling the air. 

“Where are your husband and his officials?” Magnus asked, his voice cutting through the chatter Selene, who had been conversing with a group of guests, turned toward her brother. A bright smile t up her face as she rushed forward to embrace him. 

“Brother!” she exclaimed, the formality she had been practicing as Luna momentarily forgotten. 

Magnus arched a brow and smirked. “Alpha Magnus,” he corrected playfully. 

Selene cleared her throat, stepping back from the hug. “Fine, fine. Alpha Magnus,” she said, rolling her eyes but smiling nonetheless, 

Magnus reached out and gently placed a hand on top of her head. “I can hardly believe how much you’ve changed in just two months.” 

“Changed?” she asked, tilting her head slightly, unsure of what he meant. 

“In the best way,” he clarified, his smile warm. “You’re about to become the Luna of a great pack, but to me, you’ll always be my little sister. Still, I can see it in your eyes–you’re happy, Alpha Kane has taken good care of you, hasn’t he?” 

Selene nodded, her voice soft but sure. “He has, brother. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. He loves me deeply, and he’s always there for me. Our past may have been dark, but we came together when we needed each other most.” 

Before Magnus could reply, Selene’s mother, Evelyn, interrupted, her voice teasing, “Done monopolizing your sister? It’s our turn now.” 

Selene turned to embrace her parents, Alpha Malcolm Hawthorne and Evelyn Hawthorne. Both of them looked proud, their smiles wide as they took in their daughter’s transformation. 

“What a powerful woman you’ve become,” Malcolm said, his voice filled with admiration. 

Just then, Kane’s parents, Alpha Garrett Thorne and Diana Thorne, approached. The two families exchanged warm greetings, their happiness evident as they spoke. 

Magnus, however, wasn’t done with his sister. Leaning in close, he whispered, “You still haven’t answered my question.” 

Selene glanced toward the main door, her gaze flickering with expectation. “He got a call from his company and had to leave about an hour ago,” she said quietly. 

Magnus frowned, his sharp eyes scanning the room. “And his officials? Where are they?” 

Selene paused, realizing he had a point. Kane’s officials, aside from Finn, rarely went to the pack’s company. “Maybe he needed them for something important,” she murmured, though doubt crept into 

her tone. 

Magnus nodded and turned his attention to Leo and Luna, who were nearby. The children lit up with excitement as their uncle knelt down to talk and play with them. Their laughter echoed through the hall, momentarily easing Selene’s growing unease.

But Selene’s eyes remained fixed on the main door, her heart heavy with anticipation. Guest after guest approached her to offer congratulations or small talk, and while she responded politely, her mind was elsewhere. Minutes turned into an hour, and Kane still hadn’t returned 

Selene was speaking with her mother when a sudden crash broke through the noise of the hall She spun around, her eyes darting to the source of the sound. 

Alpha Garrett stood frozen, a shattered glass at his feet and his phone pressed to his ear. His expression was grim, his knuckles white as he gripped the device.
