When Kane's pack fighters informed him that a powerful alpha had joined the battle, he spun around to see who

this mysterious figure was-who could terrify his warriors so completely.

But the moment his gaze landed on the wolf standing in the distance, his entire body froze.

The wolf that had haunted his nightmares for years... was real.

“Kane, I'm on my way to you,” his beta, Finn, said through the mind link. “As you ordered, I've directed our main

fighters to the pack house.”

But Kane barely heard him. His eyes were locked on the massive black wolf, its piercing gaze holding him

captive. Those eyes... they had always seemed so enigmatic in his dreams.

“Who are you?” Kane finally asked, his voice hard but edged with unease.

“Your death,” the wolf responded, its voice reverberating through the mind link.

Kane's heart skipped a beat. The voice was familiar-too familiar. A chill washed over him as recognition dawned.

It wasn’t a male wolf. It wasn’t just any powerful alpha.

It was her.

Selene.

His ex-wife.

The rage in her expression was unmistakable as she bolted toward him, her movements fluid yet ferocious.

Kane's pack fighters moved to block her, trying to stop her advance, but it was futile. Kane could see it clearly-

she was as strong as he had been in his prime. Perhaps stronger.

Closer now, Selene let out a bone-chilling growl that sent shivers through the wolves surrounding her. They

faltered, shrinking back, but Kane stood firm, still frozen in shock.

And then she lunged.

The battlefield seemed to pause as the massive black wolf collided with him, her claws raking across his neck.

The wolves around them stopped fighting, transfixed by the sight of two alphas-both enormous, both radiating

power-locked in a brutal clash.

The sharp pain of her claws snapped Kane out of his stupor. He shoved her back, but she was relentless.

“You deserve to die,” she snarled through the mind link, her voice seething with hatred.

Her claws tore into his side, slicing deep enough to make his body go numb for a moment.

“Do yo-" Kane began, but she cut him off.

“You chere to kill my brother. How dare you? Let’s see who kills whom.”

Selene’s claws sank deeper into his ribs, drawing a guttural groan from him. She wasn’t giving him

even a moment to recover.

Before Kane could retaliate, a sudden force slammed into Selene, knocking her away. She growled in

frustration, whipping her head around to face her attacker.

It was a brown wolf-Finn.

Selene bared her teeth at him, her expression darkening, but before she could react, another wolf-a gray one-

lunged at her. This one was Gamma Storm, Kane's loyal third-in-command.

Selene glared at him, her lips curling into a mocking sneer.

“I'm here to kill your Alpha,” she growled. “If you letdo it without interference, I'll spare the rest of you.”

Storm snarled in defiance. “You traitorous bitch! If you want to kill my Alpha, you'll have to go through

all four of us first.”

“As you wish, Gamma.”

With a mocking grin, Selene lunged at Storm, her teeth aiming for his neck. She bit down, but before she could

do any serious damage, Kane charged forward, yanking his gamma out of her grasp.

Selene turned on Kane, her fury blazing. She took a step toward him, forcing him to retreat instinctively.

She could feel it-she had him cornered. The sight of his hesitation filled her with a twisted, almost euphoric

satisfaction.

Their eyes locked. His were a deep, angry red, while hers burned icy blue.

“All these years, you've causedso much pain, Alpha Kane,” Selene growled. “Today, on this battlefield, I'll

show you just how much | hate you.”

Her words froze him, his retreat halting consuming.

She didn’t care why he stopped-her rage was all-

Her claws slashed across his chest, blood pooling from the deep wounds. But Kane didn’t flinch, which only

enraged her further. She drove her claws in deeper, her fury fueling her strength.

Finn and Storm rushed toward them, but before they could attack, Kane growled-a low, commanding sound that

stopped them in their tracks.

Finn's eyes widened in shock, disbelief flashing across his face. “Alpha?”

Kane didn’t respond. He didn’t push Selene off him. He didn’t fight back. He just stood there, allowing her to claw

at him.

Even as pain wracked his body, Kane held his ground. Selene, seeing no resistance from him, bit into his leg, her

sharp teeth sinking into his muscle. He groaned, his eyes squeezing shut from the agony.

She released his leg and prepared to deliver the final blow-a fatal bite to his neck.

But just as her jaws hovered over his throat, an image flashed in her mind.

Leo and Luna.

Her children.

“How... how can | kill their father?” The thought struck her like a blow, her fury faltering.

She froze, her breathing ragged.

Selene turned her head, startled by a sudden movement. Finn and Storm were glaring at her, their anger

palpable. Slowly, she shifted her gaze back to Kane, who was staring at her with an expression she couldn't

decipher.

Her confusion deepened. “Why are they here? Weren't they supposed to be fighting my brother?”

And then she heard it-a piercing howl that sent a chill down her spine.

Her lips parted in shock. She knew that howl.

Magnus.

She turned toward the sound, realizing it was coming from the direction of the pack house.

Panic gripped her. She bolted, forgetting Kane entirely.

But a single question lingered in her mind: If Kane was here... who was attacking Magnus? When she reached the

pack house, her heart sank.

Magnus was on the ground, a wooden stake driven into his leg.

A deep, guttural growl tore from her throat as she spotted the man responsible.

But when he turned to face her, her blood ran cold.

“Alpha Hunter?”
