The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane) novel Chapter 413

The Alphia’s Hidden Heirs 

Chapter 413 

Selene was at a loss for words. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson as she lowered her head, biting her bottom lip in an attempt to hide the shy smile creeping across her face. 

The way Kane had defended her in front of Nyx struck a chord deep within her. His firm words, his unwavering declaration–it revealed a protective side of him that reminded her why she had fallen in 

love with him. This was her Kane. 

“Let’s go,” Kane murmured softly as he took her hand, gently tugging her toward the staks. 

Selene’s lips parted slightly, unsure of where he was taking her. She glanced over her shoulder at the others still gathered downstairs. Kane’s father looked anything but pleased, his face clouded with anger or unease. Diana, on the other hand, seemed utterly confused by her husband’s reaction. Selene didn’t have time to dwell on it as Kane continued to lead her upstairs. 

Her gaze shifted to Kane as they ascended the stairs. She couldn’t stop herself from staring at him–at the strong, steady hand holding hers, at his sharp profile, and at the way his presence felt both familiar and overwhelming all at once. Tears welled up in her eyes again, threatening to spill. She still couldn’t fully believe he was back. 

When they reached the top of the stairs, Kane led her to their bedroom. Selene’s heart skipped a beat as she recognized where they were headed. As they stepped inside, she couldn’t take her eyes off of him. He let go of her hand, his attention momentarily shifting as he glanced around the room, as if checking to see if everything was still as he had left it. 

Selene stood quietly, watching him with a soft smile. She closed the door gently behind her. But the moment she did, Kane turned abruptly, pressing her back against the door with a sudden, fluid motion. 

Selene gasped loudly, her wide eyes locking with his. 

Kane leaned in closer, tilting his head to meet her at eye level. His deep, commanding voice softened as he asked, “I asked you how you were, but you didn’t answer me, baby. Are you mad at me?” 

The tenderness in his voice broke the dam inside her. Tears spilled down Selene’s cheeks, and her v oice trembled as she finally let out everything she had been holding in. 

“I wasn’t well, Kane. I was sad, upset, and yes, I was mad at you,” she admitted, her voice cracking. “I’ve been searching for you for so long. Do you know how many nights I cried myself to sleep? How many days I spent at the borders, hoping to see you again?” 

Kane’s expression softened as he listened to her. His dark eyes glimmered with emotion as he reached up, using his thumbs to gently wipe the tears from her cheeks. He cupped her face in his large hands, tilting her head slightly to meet his gaze. 

“I missed you, too,” he whispered, his voice low and full of regret. His lips hovered just inches from hers as he added, “But I wasn’t in a condition to come back sooner.” 

Selene’s eyes darted to the bandage on his head. Her fingers reached up instinctively, brushing lightly against it. “What happened to your head? Did you get hurt? Does it still hurt?” she asked, her voice filled with concern. 

Kane caught her hand and guided it to rest around his neck. His lips quirked into a faint smile as he reassured her, “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. I’m sorry for everything that’s happened these past few
