Diana exhaled quietly as she noticed the tension in her son's face. Kane had always been this way- bottling up his emotions, refusing to confront the wounds that still lingered from the past. Stepping forward, she softened her tone.
"Kane, I know Selene still means something to you."
His jaw clenched. "That's not true."
"If that were the case, you wouldn't be acting like this," Diana countered, crossing her arms. "You bury yourself in work, barely sleep, and shut everyone out. If you still have feelings for her, why not fight to get her back?"
"I wish it were that simple," he muttered.
A knowing smile spread across Diana's lips. She reached up, tousling his hair like she used to when he was a boy. "Don't worry. You'll have plenty of chances in the future. Just don't waste them. Every woman out there would kill to be with my son. Who could possibly resist you?"
Kane remained silent. Diana gave his shoulder a reassuring pat.
"Now hurry up. Don't you want to see your beautiful kids? They're eager to get to their party."
His expression flickered at the mention of his children. Looking at his mother, he gave her a small nod.
Once Diana left, Kane decided to take a shower.
Dressed in a sleek black suit, he stood before the mirror. He had never cared much for his reflection,
but lately, every glance at the mirror drew his attention to one thing-the scar on his chest.
He loosened his shirt slightly, exposing the three deep claw marks that marred his skin. His fingers traced over them absentmindedly, the memory of the woman who left them behind replaying in his
mind.
The night she walked away to meet Grayson, he had sent her an invitation to the birthday party.
She had returned it unopened. That was when he lost all motivation to attend.
But avoiding the party wasn't an option. Tonight, the world would finally be introduced to his children.
Leaving his room, Kane made his way toward his twins' bedroom. Stepping inside, he was momentarily taken aback.
Leo looked sharp in a miniature version of his own black suit. The resemblance was striking-why had he never noticed how much his son looked like him until he learned the truth?
"Dad."
The soft voice pulled his attention to Luna. She stood in a delicate baby pink dress, a tiny jeweled
crown resting atop her head. She was stunning.
Kane felt something inside him soften as he looked at them.
There were moments when bitterness crept in-anger at Selene for keeping them from him, for robbing him of the chance to watch them grow. But then, her words would echo in his mind, reminding him

why she had made that choice.
"You both look great. Let's go," he said, turning toward the door.
Luna pouted. "No."

Kane turned back to her. "What do you mean, no?"
She stretched her little arms toward him. "Carry me, Daddy."
Her sweet voice made him chuckle. He stepped forward, scooping her into his arms before shifting his gaze to Leo.
As always, Leo remained quiet, watching the interaction between his father and sister without a word.
Kane extended his hand toward him. "Come on."
Leo hesitated, staring at Kane's outstretched hand. Over the past few days, Kane had been trying to bridge the gap between them. But Leo hadn't forgotten the nights he had heard his mother cry. His resentment toward Kane still ran deep.
"Luna, hold Dad's hand. Let's go to the party! I'm so excited-it's our first one!" she exclaimed.
Leo blinked, his eyes flickering with emotion before he hesitantly reached out and took Kane's hand.
Kane exhaled as their fingers made contact. With his twins by his side, he stepped out of the room.
Tonight was going to be a night they would never forget.
