Chapter 152 Kane
The ride back to the Nightfall Pack was anything but smooth. My mind was a chaotic mess, consumed by the lies Selene had spun around me.
How could someone be so shameless? She had deceived me about my own children, weaving her lies so skillfully that I had fallen for them.
The thought of my children possibly carrying another man's surname sent a sharp pain through my chest. If I hadn't uncovered the truth last night, I might have lost them forever to her deceit.
Selene had played me, carefully orchestrating her deception over the years. A cunning woman, hiding her treachery behind a mask of innocence.
"Congratulations!"
The voice of my beta, Finn, snapped me out of my thoughts. He was seated beside me, a grin spreading across his face.
I turned to glare at him.
"What?" he asked, raising his hands in mock defense. "I was just congratulating you. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"This isn't the time for jokes," I muttered, my voice low and cold.
He sighed and nodded, his expression softening. "I get it, Kane. But you have to admit, you've come a long way. I've been with you through all of it-when you were desperate to find the truth, when you were devastated by the reports claiming they weren't your children. But deep down, your heart knew. As their father, you recognized them right away."
His words lingered in the air, stirring something in me. A sudden thought hit me like lightning.
"Stop the car," I barked at the driver.
"What? Why?" Finn asked, startled by my sudden command.
"Stop the damn car!" I yelled, my voice echoing through the vehicle. The driver immediately pulled over to the side of the road, his hands trembling slightly.
I turned to Finn, my eyes blazing. "Find the witch who helped Selene hide my children from me."
Finn's face twisted in confusion and hesitation. "The witch? Are you serious?"
"Now, Finn. Don't make me repeat myself," I growled.
Without another word, Finn pulled out his phone and made a call. He connected with one of the old witches from the Iron Crown Pack, someone he had worked with in the past.
"Old Physician? Raven?" Finn muttered into the phone.
A few moments later, he hung up and turned back to me. "It's not a witch," he said carefully. "It's a wizard named Raven. He's known as a loyal ally of the Royal Family. Apparently, he's the one the royal bloodline consults when they face... difficulties."

I let out a bitter scoff. "A wizard? Really? What is he, some kind of fortune teller? A tarot card reader? If he's so skilled at solving their problems, then why didn't he warn them about their defeat in the war? Or better yet, why didn't he stop Magnus from making that idiotic deal with Hunter in the first place?" Finn's gaze lingered on me before he murmured, "Don't underestimate him, Kane. Apparently, he's powerful. His spells have been remarkably effective, especially when it comes to hiding the truth. That's how he kept your children hidden all these years."
I rolled my eyes, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. "Where does this wizard live?"
"In an old villa on Howlmore Lane," Finn answered.
I turned to the driver, who was clearly trying to listen to our conversation.
"Stop eavesdropping and drive," I snapped. "Take us there. Now."
"Y-Yes, Alpha," the driver stammered, immediately refocusing on the road. The car lurched forward as he headed toward the new destination.
I leaned back in my seat, turning my gaze out the window. The cold night air seeped through the slightly open window, brushing against my skin. The icy breeze stung the fresh wounds on my chest, a sharp reminder of the betrayal Selene had inflicted upon me.
'It's time to meet your so-called well-wisher, Selene,' I thought bitterly. 'The one who dared to help you in your treachery.'
