The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane)

When I turned my head, I found both of my kids staring at me with awkward expressions

I frowned, puzzled by their reactions. As soon as they noticed my gaze, they quickly locked away.

Their sudden change in demeanor confused me. What was going on with them?

Just a few months ago, hadn't they said they liked Grayson?!

"Are you sure?" Grayson asked over the phone.

"Yeah, I'm sure," I confirmed,

"Alright, then. See you there."

"Mm-hmm."

As soon as I pulled the phone away from my ear, Leo's voice broke the silence.

"Mommy, is Uncle Grayson coming too?"

I studied his expression carefully before answering

"Yeah."

Luna pouted, crossing her arms. "But it was supposed to be just the four of us."

Her words caught me off guard. "Why can't he join us? I thought you both liked Uncle Grayson."

Leo blinked, hesitating before muttering, "We do... but we thought it was only going to be us."

I reached out to ruffle his hair gently, trying to reassure him. "He's a really nice guy. You'll have fun with him, I promise."

Neither of them responded after that. They just sat quietly.

The rest of the car ride was filled with silence. I started to wonder if I had made a mistake. Their excitement from earlier had faded, and I felt guilty for unknowingly dampening their mood.

Since when had they become so sentimental?

The car pulled up in front of the restaurant, and we stepped out.

Luna's mood shifted instantly as she ran ahead, her face lighting up with excitement as she took in the restaurant's exterior. Leo stayed quiet, but I caught the way his eyes gleamed with interest.

The place had a charming aesthetic, decorated with cascading cherry blossoms.

As we stepped inside, I realized just how large the restaurant was. It spanned a wide area, designed to resemble a garden filled with pink and white cherry blossom trees.

The tables were spaced generously apart, providing a sense of privacy for each group of diners.

In the center of the restaurant stood a small fountain, featuring a beautifully sculpted fairy holding a bouquet of cherry blossoms.

The sight immediately captured my children's attention. Without hesitation, they ran toward it.

"Be careful," I reminded them.

O ****

They flashed me bright smiles before slowing their pace as they approached the fountain

The reception desk was conveniently located near the entrance, so I took the opportunity to contion our reservation while keeping an eye on my kids.

The host nodded and called over a waiter to escort us to our table.

Just as I was about to call Luna and Leo back to me, my eyes landed on Kane as he walked into the

restaurant.

The moment he spotted me, a smile tugged at his lips.

I quickly averted my gaze,

He made his way over and spoke in a smooth tone.

"Sorry if I'm late,"

I arched a brow at his words. Did I just hear that right? Alpha Kane and an

apology in the same

sentence?

The receptionist behind the desk immediately straightened, eyes widening in recognition,

"Alpha!" he stammered, bowing deeply.

Kane barely glanced at him before saying, "Keep quiet."

The man clamped his mouth shut instantly, nodding in silent obedience.

Kane then turned his attention back to me and extended his hand.

"This is for you."

I lowered my gaze, only now noticing the bouquet of white roses in his grasp.

I had been so focused on avoiding him that I hadn't even seen the flowers. "For me?" I asked, skeptical.

"Mm-hmm."

When I didn't immediately take them, he grabbed my hand and gently placed the bouquet in my grasp.

I stared at him, completely thrown off. Alpha Kane... buying me flowers?

His eyes locked onto mine, his voice dropping to a quiet, almost intimate murmur.

"I heard you like roses," he admitted. "So I chose white ones. They symbolize purity and... forgiveness."
