Grayson's words to my children completely caught me off guard. I had planned to tell them eventually, but on my own terms. I wanted them to feel comfortable around him first, not be thrown into the truth so abruptly. His sudden confession left me momentarily speechless.
"What the hell did you just say?" Kane's voice erupted, sharp and furious, like a strike of lightning.
People nearby started to glance in our direction, sensing the tension. I rolled my eyes at Kane's
overreaction.
Seriously, what was his problem?
"Alpha Kane, let's not forget that we're your guests here. Maybe try showing us some respect," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
But it was as if my words never even reached him. His furious gaze remained locked onto Grayson as he took a threatening step forward.
"You do realize exactly whose territory you're standing in, don't you?"
Kane's tone carried a clear warning. I studied his face, trying to decipher his real motivation. Was he really that determined to drive away any man who showed interest in me? Did he want me to stay
alone and miserable forever?
Well, I wasn't about to let him keep doing that.
Taking a steady breath, I moved closer to Grayson, looping my arm through his, and turned my gaze
back to Kane.
"He knows exactly where he is. And honestly, you should consider yourself lucky to have him here. He's a healer-someone who could actually help your pack in more ways than one."
Kane's eyes flickered downward, stopping where my arm was wrapped around Grayson's. His jaw tightened.
"Oh, help? Right. Like saving your brother?" he muttered under his breath.
My stomach twisted at his words. So he knew. He was aware that Grayson was treating Magnus. The realization sent a wave of unease through me. If Kane decided to put a stop to it, he had the power to do so. As the head Alpha, his word was law, and Grayson wouldn't be able to continue if Kane
commanded otherwise.
"Just stay out of this," I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper.
Grayson, however, didn't seem the least bit fazed. His fingers gently squeezed my hand before he turned to me with a reassuring smile.
"It's alright. The Alpha is probably just worried about his image," he said lightly. Then, his eyes met mine, his voice softening. "But he doesn't understand how much we want to be together."
His words sent warmth rushing to my cheeks, and I averted my gaze, suddenly feeling self-conscious.
Kane, on the other hand, was far from amused. His fists clenched tightly at his sides, his knuckles white from the pressure. My eyes darted toward my children, but before I could say anything, Kane's

voice cut through the moment.
"Grayson Vale, don't test me."
Grayson, however, remained utterly unshaken. His expression was calm, composet-dod amnes as if Kane's threats meant nothing to him.
"I'm not testing you, Alpha Kane," he replied evenly. "This is my life, and I know exactly what I'm doing Right now, I'm choosing to pursue Selene Hawthorne."
I couldn't help but wonder where Grayson found the confidence to speak to Kane like that. Even the Alpha of Grayson's own pack was wary of Kane, yet here he was, standing his ground without an ounce of fear.
Clearing my throat, I turned my attention back to my children.
Luna's wide eyes were fixed on Kane, while Leo was watching Grayson with open curiosity.
Slowly, I slipped my arm from Grayson's and focused entirely on my kids. "Sweethearts, there's something I wanted to talk to you about," I said gently.
Before I could go any further, Leo shook his head and grinned.
"Mommy, I like Grayson Uncle," he said, his little voice full of excitement. "Make him your boyfriend.*
