I was utterly horrified. How had the years-long spell been broken by a single growl?

From where I stood, I could see the truth so clearly now. Luna had her father's piercing eyes, while Leo had inherited mine. The twins, however, were clueless about the chaos unfolding around them.

In an effort to shield them, my mother instinctively tucked them behind her, but they still peeked out, their curious eyes trying to make sense of the fight before them.

I assumed it was fighters from the rival pack attacking my family. That had to be why the twins had ventured out of the pack house. But why hadn't they escaped through the back door?

Countless questions swirled in my mind, but they all evaporated when Kane let out another furious growl. "They are my children!"

The truth had finally hit him. He knew. He knew. My heart sank. What was I supposed to do now?

When I glanced at him, the hostility in his gaze was undeniable, sharp and cold like a blade. That anger hadn't been there before, but now it burned fiercely.

Suddenly, Kane turned toward my children and broke into a sprint.

Panic seized me. There was no way I would let him get to them. My body tensed as I prepared to move, but before I could, Alpha Hunter stepped into my path.

"I wanted to make you my Luna," he sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. "But you and your brother rejected me. What will you do now with your giant, graceless wolf? It's utterly useless."

I barely registered his words. My eyes were locked on Kane, who had already reached my children. My mother tried to back away to protect them, but Kane growled at her, freezing her in place.

Rage flared in me as I turned my attention back to Alpha Hunter, who had changed his weapon. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him draw a silver stake.

The moment he raised his hand to stab me, I lashed out, biting down hard on his leg.

He shifted in an attempt to pull away, but it was too late.

Fueled by fury, I tore his leg clean off. The sound of flesh ripping filled the air, and blood spilled onto the ground. The battlefield fell still for a moment as everyone watched in stunned disbelief. Alpha Hunter-the formidable, arrogant Alpha-had just lost a leg.

Snarling, I flung his body aside, assuming the shock and pain alone would kill him. Without sparing him another glance, I turned back toward Kane.

My mother was still frozen, fear etched on her face as Kane loomed over her and the twins. I launched myself at him, shoving him away from her with all my strength.

"If you don't let them go, I'll kill you!" I screamed through the mind link, my voice sharp and unyielding. This wasn't the private mate bond link that connected us. No, I made sure every wolf in the vicinity could hear my warning.

Kane's gaze snapped to me, his eyes cold and unrelenting.

My heart twisted as I saw the twins trembling, their small bodies shaking with fear. They had never seen me in my wolf form before, but recognition flickered in their eyes. Slowly, they stepped forward and clung to my legs.

"Mommy," they whispered in unison, their voices trembling.

My chest ached as I looked around. Kane's fighters and officials surrounded us, their presence

suffocating. I had no choice. If I wanted to protect my children, I had to fight him.

Gently, I nudged the twins away and lunged at Kane.

The attack caught him off guard, and we tumbled to the ground, our bodies rolling as I snapped my jaws, trying to sink my teeth into him.

But Kane was ready this time. He didn't give me a single opening.

A sharp, agonized groan escaped me as his claws raked across my chest. The pain was searing, and I

felt warm blood begin to trickle from the three deep gashes he left behind.
