Finn stood abruptly, his unease evident as he addressed Kane. “Kane, what are you saying? Why would Raven want to protect Nyx? What’s his connection to her? He’s never even left the Iron Crown
Pack.”
Kane didn’t look up, his hand flipping open a file as he muttered, “That’s exactly what you should’ve asked him. Why did you come back with only half the story?”
Finn hesitated, his voice quieter now. “Because I thought…”
Kane cut him off sharply, his eyes meeting Finn’s with a cold intensity. “And that’s why you shouldn’t blindly trust anyone.” He paused for a moment, letting the words sink in, before continuing. “The only person you should trust without question… is your Alpha.”
Finn exhaled heavily and slumped back into the chair, his exhaustion catching up to him. Relief washed over him, knowing Kane wasn’t the father of Nyx’s child. He had been so worried about Kane’s reaction to the situation that he hadn’t seen another option but to visit Raven for answers.
His gaze flickered to the bandage on Kane’s forehead. Beneath it lay a wound that Finn knew would never heal. It wasn’t caused by any werewolf–it was the work of a powerful wizard. Finn suspected that the injury was the source of Kane’s occasional pain and the unsettling way his eyes kept changing color. Kane refused to admit it, but Finn was certain that whatever had been done to him was still taking a toll.
“But you argued with Selene that night,” Finn said, his voice laced with concern. The memory of Kane’s fury was still fresh. Their fight that night had stemmed from it.
Kane leaned back in his chair, letting out a deep breath. His dark eyes softened, returning to their natural black. “If I hadn’t provoked her by saying those things, she never would’ve chosen to stay.”
Finn’s eyes narrowed. “And what about the pack company? Your reputation? Selene’s already taken
control of the business.”
Kane’s response was immediate and dismissive. “None of that matters. She can take over the entire pack if she wants to, as long as she stays in front of me.”
Finn studied him for a long moment, confused by Kane’s calm acceptance. “Do you remember what Raven’s spell did to you? You thought your own children weren’t yours. You believed they were another man’s blood, and yet you were still willing to accept them. Now someone’s telling you this child is
yours-”
Kane interrupted him, his voice steely. “That was different. Are you seriously comparing Nyx to my woman?”
Finn leaned forward, his frustration mounting. “Then who’s the father of Nyx’s child? Why is she lying? Is it just to become Luna of this pack? Are you planning to kill her?”
Kane shook his head, his expression unreadable. “If I’d wanted to kill her, I would’ve done it the moment I woke up and found her beside me in bed.”
Finn winced at the memory. He remembered how Kane had nearly killed Nyx that day. It was something Nyx herself had recounted to Selene. The tension in the room grew heavier as Finn’s mind churned through the implications.
