The restaurant had an inviting atmosphere, perfect for families with children as well as couples enjoying a night out. There was a warmth to it, something about the soft lighting and elegant décor that made it impossible not to appreciate its charm.

Leo and Luna continued to glance around, taking in their surroundings as they ate.

Grayson had been considering striking up a conversation with Selene's kids for a while now. Yet, something about their demeanor made him think they weren't exactly the friendliest children.

"Leo, your mom mentioned you're in training. How's it going?" Grayson asked, directing his attention to the boy.

Leo barely looked up before giving a short reply. "Good."

Grayson wasn't deterred. "Who's your trainer? Gamma Storm?" It was a reasonable assumption, considering Leo was set to be the next Alpha of this pack.

Leo shook his head.

"Then who?"

Without hesitation, Leo pointed at Kane. "Dad trains me himself."

Grayson was momentarily caught off guard. It wasn't common for a reigning Alpha to personally train someone, even his own son. He had to admit-Kane was a dedicated father.

"I respect that, Alpha Kane. You're shaping him into a leader just like yourself," Grayson acknowledged.

It wasn't that Grayson had an issue with Kane as an Alpha. His problem was with Kane constantly orbiting around Selene, refusing to let go.

Kane, however, simply gave him a curt nod, not bothering to say a word.

Selene's gaze lingered on Kane. Back when she was pregnant and desperately trying to escape this pack, she never imagined Kane would willingly take on the role of a father. But now, seeing him fulfill that duty so effortlessly, it left her shaken.

The table fell silent again.

Luna pouted, disliking the heavy atmosphere. It frustrated her that her parents weren't talking to each other. Her father had told them he wanted their mother to come back-to live with them again.

But she knew it wouldn't be easy. Her mother had a boyfriend now. And from what her friends told her, a boyfriend meant someone who would take her mother away from them.

She didn't want that. She wanted her mother to stay. Forever.

"Mom, let's go to the pack house today," Luna suddenly blurted out.noveldrama

Selene's hand froze mid-motion. She turned to her daughter with hesitation. "Why?"

"Let's visit Grandma and Grandpa."

Selene bit her lower lip, setting her spoon down on the plate.

Grayson immediately sensed her reluctance and decided to step in. "Sweetheart, are you missing them? Don't worry, you can visit them tomorrow. Let's spend tonight with your mom, okay?"

Luna frowned but nodded, though she wasn't happy about it. She turned to Leo, who had been eating quietly beside her, and whispered,

"Why is Uncle Grayson answering for Mom? I almost had her convinced."

Leo sighed before flicking her forehead lightly. 'Don't be ridiculous. You know how Mom is."

Luna rubbed her forehead, pouting. "But don't you want them to be together too?" Leo's gaze shifted toward his father, who was watching their mother with an intense, unreadable expression. For a long time, Leo had misunderstood him. He had thought his father was cold, but now he realized Kane wasn't heartless at all. In his own way, he had always been there-for them, for their

mother.

Leo believed his father was the best choice for their mother.

Despite their young age, their minds were constantly shifting. They were just children, easily influenced by the world around them. The things they saw, the small moments they absorbed, all of it shaped their understanding of love and loyalty.

Meanwhile, Kane was seething.

He had been watching Grayson the entire night, noticing every little thing he did- the way he subtly brushed Selene's hand whenever he reached for something, the way he leaned just a little too close when he spoke to her. Kane considered himself a patient man, but how much patience did love require? Was it even love if he had to constantly restrain himself?

His self-control shattered when Grayson boldly took Selene's hand and whispered something into her

car,

And the worst part?

She was enjoying herself,

Kane's jaw tightened. Could she not see what this was doing to him?

A sharp, possessive fury boiled in his chest, and he was seconds away from snapping-about to demand Grayson let go of her-when his phone rang.

The sound barely registered at first, but then he answered it without taking his eyes off Selene.

"Alpha."

Theta Gideon's voice came through the line.

"Speak," Kane commanded, his tone ice-cold.

The shift in his voice made everyone at the table pause. Even Grayson released Selene's hand, turning his attention toward him.

“Alpha, we have bad news."

"Just say it,” Kane muttered, though his gaze was still locked onto Selene's hand- the one Grayson had just let go of. His expression was unreadable, but beneath the surface, a storm was brewing.

And then, just like that, his carefully controlled mask cracked.

Because Theta Gideon's next words hit him like a punch to the gut.

"Verity Wade escaped from the pack hospital."
