The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane)

Ruby's body trembled as sobs wracked her frame, her legs barely able to hold her up. The searing agony coursing through her veins was unlike anything she had ever imagined. The pain was so overwhelming that it seemed to reach her very brain, a deafening noise ringing inside her skull.

"They've only heard stories of my ruthlessness," Kane murmured, his voice eerily calm. "But they've never felt the pain I've inflicted when delivering my revenge."

Her eyes widened, the sheer torment etched across her face.

With a sharp, fluid motion, Kane withdrew his hand from her chest, the movement tearing through the fabric of her dress.

The moment he released his grip on her wrist, her body crumpled to the ground like a lifeless doll.noveldrama

Her eyes remained open, frozen in shock, as if she were still conscious. Her heart still beat-but not within her chest. It pulsed weakly in his hand.

Kane stared at the organ, his crimson eyes glowing ominously.

His claws dripped with fresh blood, the scent thick in the air.

Shifting his gaze from the trembling heart in his palm, he looked down at Ruby's lifeless form. Without

a shred of remorse, his fingers tightened around the organ.

There wasn't even the faintest flicker of sympathy in his expression.

A few moments passed...

The silence was broken by distant voices.

"Kane?"

"Alpha?"

"Where are you?"

The calls of his officials reached his ears, snapping him out of his trance. Taking a few steps back, Kane exhaled slowly, realizing that it was over. Turning his head, he saw a group of wolves sprinting toward him, his four highest-ranking officials leading the way.

They all skidded to a stop the moment their eyes locked onto his blood-soaked hands.

"Alpha, are you alright?" Gamma Storm rushed forward, concern evident in his tone.

The others inched closer, their gazes shifting from Kane's claws to the motionless body sprawled at his feet.

One of the pack's fighters stepped forward, offering his thick fur cloak to Kane so he could wipe the blood from his hands.

But Kane merely retracted his claws, crimson still staining his fingers.

"No need."

As his grip loosened, something slipped from his hand and hit the ground with a sickening thud.

Every pair of eyes followed the movement.

It was Ruby's heart, crushed beyond recognition.

Without another word, Kane turned on his heel and started walking toward his house, his pace slow, as if the weight of everything was finally settling in.

Finn, his Beta, took a sharp breath before barking an order.

"Take the body and bury it."

But Kane suddenly halted.

Without looking back, he spoke, his voice steady but commanding.

"Take it to my house instead. Every member of the pack should witness the fate of those who betray their Alpha. Let them know what she did to me. And if they choose to laugh at my suffering-so be it."

His officials immediately bowed in acknowledgment.

Despite being Kane's closest friend, Finn still held deep respect for him as his Alpha. That authority was something he never questioned.

As Kane resumed his slow march forward, Finn quickly fell into step beside him.

"I contacted her parents," Finn said cautiously. "They said they were on their way. They might already be at your house. And... she might be there too."

Kane's expression remained unreadable. He simply gave a single command:

"Take me around the back."

His officials instantly understood.

He didn't want Selene to see him like this.

And more than that... he didn't want her to see what he had done to Ruby.
