Kane stood frozen, his body tense as he took an unsteady step back from Selene.

His hands trembled, and as he moved, her palm remained suspended in the air where his chest had been just moments ago. He exhaled shakily, nodding as if trying to process what she had just said.

"If that's really what you want, then.....”

But the words trailed off. He had nothing left to say. Wasn't she the woman he loved more than anything? Hadn't he just confessed his feelings to her a few hours ago? Why did she talk as if he was just another man in her past?

Losing her? That thought was unbearable. He couldn't lose her. He loved her.

Tonight, everything became painfully clear-his heart, his wolf, his very soul had always belonged to her. That was why he married her, even when he could have avoided it. That night, he had felt her completely, wanted to hold her again, to keep her close. He had hurt her, over and over, but he'd never once considered a life without her.

Maybe that was why, when she had vanished from his world, he had lost his mind.

Selene saw the way he backed away, his expression dark with emotions he wouldn't voice. Without another word, she turned and walked away, leaving him standing there in the depths of the forest, alone with the ache in his chest

Kane didn't stop retreating. His

ppeared into the trees.

His back hit the rough bark of a tree, and he raised a hand to his face, wiping at it absentmindedly- only to notice the blood smeared across his palm.

Disgust curled in his stomach. His gaze flicked to the tree before him, and rage exploded inside him.

"This is all because of her," he growled under his breath. "She even kept me from seeing my children when they were born."

Fury overtook him, and he swung his fist at the tree. Then again. And again. Knuckles split, blood dripped, but he didn't stop. He couldn't feel the physical pain-nothing compared to the agony in his heart.

That night, Kane didn't return home. He shifted into his wolf form, running blindly through the wilderness, pushing himself until exhaustion threatened to take over. He had no idea how far he had

gone.

All he knew was that he was furious-with himself, with the past, with everything. He had destroyed the life he had once taken pride in, and now, there was nothing left but regret.

The next morning, Kane finally returned to the pack house. The tension in the air was suffocating- everyone had been waiting for him, anticipating his return.

The moment he arrived, he saw his mother, pale and weak, her condition visibly worse than before.

Concerned, he turned to Nathan. "What happened to her?"

Nathan hesitated before answering, "She's been seriously ill. It's a severe condition... it'll take a long

At first, Kane refused to believe it. But then Nathan handed him the medical

reports, and the truth weighed down on him like a crushing force

It felt like his entire world was crumbling beneath him.

"Where are my children?" he asked, his voice hollow.noveldrama

Delta Derek stepped forward. "They're in their rooms. We brought them here from Selene's house earlier today."

Without another word, Kane strode to his children's room and pushed open the door. His expression was weary, his heart heavy.

Inside, the moment Luna saw him, she lit up and ran toward him.

"Dad!"

He caught her in his arms, holding her tightly as he stepped further into the room.

She pulled back slightly, looking up at him with large, sad eyes. "Dad, you told us to take care of Mommy... but we couldn't. She was too cruel."

Kane exhaled and gently set her down beside Leo, who sat quietly on the bed, watching him with an unreadable expression.

Kneeling before them, Kane met their gazes with something that looked dangerously close to brokenness.

"I'm sorry," he murmured, voice rough with guilt. "I made your mom cry."

Reaching out, he placed a hand on Leo's head, gently ruffling his hair.

Leo's eyes widened slightly. He had never seen his father like this-so vulnerable, so visibly hurt.

After a long pause, Leo spoke, his voice soft but firm. "Dad... we want Mommy back."

Kane stilled.

A sharp, unbearable pang struck his heart. This... this was exactly what Selene must have felt when she was forced to separate from them. He was feeling it now, the same unbearable loss.

Slowly, he withdrew his hand and whispered, "If you want to live with your mother, I won't stop you."

He pushed himself to his feet, his body rigid as he turned toward the door.

Before he could leave, Luna jumped up and grabbed his hand, her small fingers curling tightly around his.

"Dad, we don't want to go live with just her," she said, her voice trembling slightly.

Kane turned, his expression unreadable. "Then what do you want?"

Leo reached out and took his other hand, gripping it firmly.

"We want to live with both of you," he said simply.
