"The Alpha is calling you all outside," three guards announced as they marched into the room. Their voices were sharp and commanding, carrying an edge that made it clear they wouldn't hesitate to force us out if needed.

It had only been an hour since I last spoke to Kane. Couldn't he have given us more time to figure out where we were supposed to go?

"Mommy, what's happening?" Luna whimpered, tears streaming down her face, her tiny body

trembling with fear. Leo, on the other hand, looked utterly confused, his young mind unable to grasp the chaos unfolding around him.

"Mommy, Uncle is on the bed. Who are they calling Alpha?" Leo asked, his brow furrowed in bewilderment.

I glanced at Magnus, my heart aching as I tightened my fists. Magnus was still weak and bedridden, his condition unchanged. For Leo, his Uncle Magnus was the only Alpha he'd ever known. He had no concept of Kane's authority.

Without looking at him, I forced myself to answer. "Our Alpha has changed, Leo."

"Changed? Who's the new Alpha, then?" he asked, his innocent curiosity cutting deeper than any blade.

I opened my mouth to explain, to somehow help him understand, but before I could speak, the guards began pounding on the door, even though it was already wide open.

"Why are you all making this so difficult? We don't want to waste time on the former Alpha's family. Get out now," one of them barked.

I glanced at the guards and immediately recognized one of them-he was an old pack guard, someone who had once sworn loyalty to us. When our eyes met, he quickly looked away, avoiding my gaze like a coward.

Biting back my anger, I muttered under my breath as I stepped forward, "People were right. Time and power can change everything."

"Bring your children with you," another guard ordered, his voice cold.

I froze, my heart racing. Was Kane planning to take my children from me right now?

My mother stepped in, holding the twins' hands tightly as she guided them out of the room. My father followed, his face tense with suppressed emotion.

Axel, however, couldn't join us. He had passed out earlier from the pain of his wounds. He'd been attacked by Alpha Hunter, who had used a wooden stake laced with poison. Axel needed urgent treatment and had to stay in the pack hospital to recover.

When we entered the living room, Kane was lounging on the couch like a king. He was fully dressed, his clothes carefully concealing his injuries. He didn't even glance at us as we entered. Instead, he casually dropped an ice cube into his glass, took a sip of his drink, and swallowed it as though we were invisible. "You called for us, Alpha," my father finally spoke, his voice forced and strained. It took everything in him to address Kane with respect, but he had no choice.

Kane's gaze flicked toward my father, his expression unreadable. With a slight nod, he said, "It's time for you to say goodbye to the pack house and everyone in the pack, Mr. Hawthorne"

I clenched my fists, trying to steady myself against the wave of anger and pain threatening to consume me. Unlike me, my mother couldn't hide her emotions. Her face twisted with anguish and

outrage.

"Why are you doing this?" she demanded, her voice trembling. "You have no right to treat us this way? Kane raised a brow at her outburst, then calmly set his glass down on the tea table in front of him. "Why am I doing this? Mrs. Hawthorne, instead of asking me, why don't you ask yourselves that question?" His words startled my mother, and I could see her mind racing as she tried to piece together what he meant.

"Are you talking about the meeting?" she finally asked, her tone defensive. "My son was young and foolish. He was angry with you for what you did to my daughter." Despite the armed men standing behind Kane, their guns trained on us, my mother-once the Luna of this pack-did not flinch. She stood her ground.

For a moment, Kane said nothing. His eyes shifted to my children, and a dark, unreadable expression c rossed his face.

My mother instinctively moved, pushing the twins behind her as if her body alone could shield them from him.

Kane scoffed at her futile attempt to protect them. His voice was cold and cutting as he said, "I only want my children. The rest of you can rot in hell."
