Chapter 238: Chapter 238

< The Alpha’s Hidden Heirs Chapter 238 The old man hesitated before slowly turning back around, his face pale with fear.

“I–I should be going h–home now. My wife is waiting for me,” he stammered.

Kane let out a low chuckle, raising his hand.

+5Bonus Menu A guard standing behind the couch stepped forward, pulling a gun from his holster and placing it in Kane’s outstretched palm.

“The money I gave you,” Kane said, his tone casual yet chilling, “wasn’t a reward. It was compensation -to your wife, for your life.”

The old man’s eyes widened in horror. “W–what are you saying?”

Kane cocked the gun, his smirk vanishing as his gaze sharpened into something lethal. His irises flickered an eerie red, and for a moment, the old man looked like he might collapse from sheer terror.

“You had the audacity to buy my woman for a night,” Kane continued coldly. “How many others have you trapped like that? That night–when she begged you to let her go–you ignored her. Instead, you sent your men after her, determined to destroy an innocent girl’s life.”

The old man dropped to his knees, pressing his palms together in a desperate plea. “Please, Alpha! I swear, I didn’t know she was yours! Have mercy!”

Kane shifted his gaze toward his men. “Don’t people call me ruthless?”

Theta Gideon nodded without hesitation. “Yes, Alpha.”

Kane smirked. “Then I suppose I should give them another reason to keep saying it.”

Before anyone could react, Kane adjusted his aim–from the man’s chest to a much lower target.

A gunshot rang out.

The old man let out a bloodcurdling scream, his body collapsing onto the floor as agony overtook him. Blood pooled beneath him, his suffering evident in the way his body convulsed.

Kane remained unfazed, his smirk still in place. Satisfaction settled in his chest–justice had been served. The man who dared to even consider touching what was his had paid the price.

Across the room, Verity’s breath hitched. Her wide eyes locked onto Kane, her mind struggling to process what she had just witnessed.

She had heard the rumors. Everyone in the pack whispered about Alpha Kane’s ruthless nature, his absolute dominance over those who crossed him. But today, she had seen it with her own eyes.

“The woman with a body worth billions,” Kane murmured, his voice breaking through her daze.

Verity flinched, turning to face him, terror evident in her expression.

“I–I’m not worth anything,” she whispered. “Please... don’t kill me.”

Kane’s eyes darkened. “Why did you do it?” His voice was sharp, cutting through the air like a blade. “Who gave you the nerve to sell her?”

< Chapter 238 Verity trembled. The shame of what had just happened–what she had allowed–was already unbearable. What did it matter now if she lived or died?

“You divorced Selene years ago,” she muttered, her voice shaking. “Why do you still care? You even broke up with your girlfriend and refused to sleep with her. Why? Couldn’t she seduce you?”

The tension in the room thickened instantly. Kane’s men stiffened, sensing the shift in his mood.

His gaze turned ice–cold as he replied, “I belong to one woman. No other woman could ever tempt me.”

A stunned silence followed.

Verity swallowed hard. She had never met a man like him before–someone so fiercely loyal, so unwavering. It terrified her.

Even Kane’s own men looked taken aback. None of them had ever heard him say something like that before. As if this side of him had never existed until now.

Then, without warning, Kane aimed the gun at Verity.

“Tell me the truth,” he ordered, his voice void of patience. “Or I’ll empty every bullet into your skull.”

Verity frantically shook her head. “I don’t–Ahhh!”

A gunshot rang out.

Pain exploded through her hand as she screamed, clutching the wound. The deep red of her blood quickly soaked into the quilt wrapped around her.

“This isn’t some damn movie,” Beta Finn snapped, watching her writhe in pain. “Our Alpha doesn’t give people time to think or scheme.”

Verity sobbed, but no one moved to help her. Her gaze flickered toward the lifeless body of the old ma n, and for the first time, she truly believed she was about to die.

She forced out a name, her voice barely above a whisper. “G... Gamma Curtis...”

Then, darkness overtook her.

Kane frowned, staring at her unconscious form. Finn, equally confused, voiced what everyone was thinking.

“Gamma Curtis?” he echoed. “Isn’t he... Selene’s adoptive father? What the hell did she mean by that?”
