Finn stood abruptly, his unease evident as he addressed Kane. "Kane, what are you saying? Why would Raven want to protect Nyx? What's his connection to her? He's never even left the Iron Crown
Pack."
Kane didn't look up, his hand flipping open a file as he muttered, "That's exactly what you should've asked him. Why did you come back with only half the story?"noveldrama
Finn hesitated, his voice quieter now. "Because I thought..."
Kane cut him off sharply, his eyes meeting Finn's with a cold intensity. "And that's why you shouldn't blindly trust anyone." He paused for a moment, letting the words sink in, before continuing. "The only person you should trust without question... is your Alpha."
Finn exhaled heavily and slumped back into the chair, his exhaustion catching up to him. Relief washed over him, knowing Kane wasn't the father of Nyx's child. He had been so worried about Kane's reaction to the situation that he hadn't seen another option but to visit Raven for answers.
His gaze flickered to the bandage on Kane's forehead. Beneath it lay a wound that Finn knew would never heal. It wasn't caused by any werewolf-it was the work of a powerful wizard. Finn suspected that the injury was the source of Kane's occasional pain and the unsettling way his eyes kept changing color. Kane refused to admit it, but Finn was certain that whatever had been done to him was still taking a toll.
"But you argued with Selene that night," Finn said, his voice laced with concern. The memory of Kane's fury was still fresh. Their fight that night had stemmed from it.
Kane leaned back in his chair, letting out a deep breath. His dark eyes softened, returning to their natural black. "If I hadn't provoked her by saying those things, she never would've chosen to stay."
Finn's eyes narrowed. "And what about the pack company? Your reputation? Selene's already taken
control of the business."
Kane's response was immediate and dismissive. "None of that matters. She can take over the entire pack if she wants to, as long as she stays in front of me."
Finn studied him for a long moment, confused by Kane's calm acceptance. "Do you remember what Raven's spell did to you? You thought your own children weren't yours. You believed they were another man's blood, and yet you were still willing to accept them. Now someone's telling you this child is
yours-"
Kane interrupted him, his voice steely. "That was different. Are you seriously comparing Nyx to my woman?"
Finn leaned forward, his frustration mounting. "Then who's the father of Nyx's child? Why is she lying? Is it just to become Luna of this pack? Are you planning to kill her?"
Kane shook his head, his expression unreadable. "If I'd wanted to kill her, I would've done it the moment I woke up and found her beside me in bed."
Finn winced at the memory. He remembered how Kane had nearly killed Nyx that day. It was something Nyx herself had recounted to Selene. The tension in the room grew heavier as Finn's mind churned through the implications.

"What's your plan, Kane?” Finn finally asked, his voice low. "There's no way you're this calm without something brewing in that head of yours."
Kane's lips curled into a slow grin, a glimmer of amusement flashing in his eyes. "I'll let her 'run the company' if that's what she wants. It'll strengthen her." He leaned forward slightly, his tone dropping to something almost conspiratorial. "Why don't you talk to her? She won't listen to me. I tried that night. She's too hot- headed-just like your Alpha." He smirked, briefly rubbing his neck as if recalling the force of Selene's grip.
Finn's frown deepened. "And what about Nyx? What's your plan for her?" Kane's grin faded, replaced by a cold, calculating expression. “Nyx is shielding her child from me, trying to fulfill her family's ambitions. First, find out who the bastard is that got her pregnant. Then, let her think we believe her lies. Let the Shadowveil Pack stay in their little bubble."
Finn hesitated, his concern plain on his face. "Are you sure we can handle this?"
Kane's jaw tightened, his gaze sharpening. "The Shadowveil Pack has already shown us their worst. Those were dark days for you, for me. There were moments
I thought I'd never make it out alive. But I'm not afraid anymore."
Finn nodded solemnly. He remembered those days well-the pain, the fear, the uncertainty-and the toll it had taken on Kane.
Kane leaned forward, closing the file he had been leafing through. His tone was final, resolute. “I am not my father. If a page from the past has already been turned, I won't leave it for my son to deal with in the future. I'll end this story myself. Permanently."
