< The Alpha's Hidden Heirs

Kane rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath,

"That's not what I'd call independence."

Grayson immediately shot back, his tone edged with challenge. "Then what do you call independence, Alpha Kane?"

The tension between them thickened as they locked eyes, both radiating defiance. Selene could practically feel the heat rising. The last thing she wanted was for them to start a fight right here in public.

She gently wrapped her arm around Grayson's and rubbed his hand, trying to diffuse the situation. "Grayson, it doesn't matter how he defines independence. I like the way you treat me."

Leaning in closer, she whispered, "And don't argue with him. My kids are here- they adore their dad. They won't like it."

It was less of a request and more of a plea. Grayson exhaled and gave her a small nod, chuckling softly.

Meanwhile, Kane's jealousy flared as his gaze settled on the way Selene was rubbing Grayson's hand. The sight made something burn inside him. He had seen enough.

Abruptly standing up, he said, "I'm done here. I'll be outside."

Selene instinctively dropped Grayson's hand as Kane strode out of the restaurant. She let out a sigh, pressing her fingers to her forehead as she noticed her kids watching her closely.

After settling the bill, she stepped outside with Grayson and the twins.

Kane was leaning against his car, a cigarette between his fingers. As soon as he spotted the kids, he flicked the cigarette to the ground and crushed it beneath his shoe before walking toward them.

"I'm driving you and the kids home," he stated firmly.

Grayson didn't hesitate to counter, unlocking his own car. "That won't be necessary. I'll take them."

Kane turned to him with a sharp, warning glare. Back off.

Grayson, however, remained unfazed, meeting Kane's stare without an ounce of fear. Kane felt his irritation spike.

Why did this man have to be a healer? He carried himself as if he outranked even the most powerful Alphas, simply because those Alphas depended on him to cure their ailments.

Before the standoff could escalate further, Luna spoke up.

"Mommy, Leo and I want to ride with Dad," she said, tugging at Selene's hand.

She nudged her brother. "Right, Leo?"

Leo nodded. "Yes, Mommy."

Selene hesitated. "But Uncle Grayson is already here to take us."

Luna clung to her arm, her voice sweetly persuasive. "Please, Mommy?"

Selene sighed, feeling torn. But looking into her daughter's eager eyes, she relented. She turned to Grayson, who remained silent, watching the twins.

"I took them out tonight. I should listen to them this time," she said gently. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

Grayson gave her a small nod.

Just as he moved in to embrace her, Kane's voice cut through the moment.

"Can't you see my kids are here? Keep your hands to yourself."

Selene blinked, caught off guard by Kane's possessive remark. She glanced at her children, wondering

if they were actually bothered by it-or if he was just using them as an excuse.

Grayson shot Kane a look, but Kane ignored it, turning to unlock his car. He opened the back door for the twins, who eagerly climbed in.

As Selene moved toward the backseat, Kane stopped her with a pointed glance. "You think I'm your chauffeur? Sit in the front."

For a brief second, a memory flashed in Selene's mind-that night when Grayson had been drunk, and she had sat in the back with him while Kane drove. He hadn't liked it then, and clearly, he wasn't lettingnoveldrama

it slide now.

Exhaling, she gave in and closed the back door. Kane stepped forward, opening the passenger door for her. She hesitated, stealing one last glance at Grayson before slipping into the seat.

Kane shut the door with more force than necessary, then pivoted back toward Grayson.

Taking a step closer, his voice dropped into something low and dangerous.

"You're chasing the wrong Alpha's woman," he warned. "It'd be smarter to walk away on your own. Otherwise, I will take back what's mine."
