Menu Kaneâs expression remained composed as he regarded Magnus, his eyes calm and unwavering.
âThereâs no need to bow to me anymore. Youâre the head Alpha of your own pack now. Iâm not your Alpha any longer,â Kane said evenly, his gaze briefly shifting to Magnusâs parents and Axel before settling on someone else in the room.
As his eyes landed on the figure near the couch, Selene instinctively looked away, avoiding his piercing stare. Kane didnât linger on her for long, turning his attention back to Magnus.
Magnus studied Kane intently. He had always harbored a deep resentment for the man, blaming him for the pain his sister had endured. In his eyes, Kane had been nothing more than a criminal. But now, with circumstances having shifted drastically, Magnus couldnât deny the truthâthis man seemed to be the only one capable of standing by Seleneâs side.
Fateâs decision to bind them as mates suddenly felt less like a cruel twist and more like an inevitability.
When Axel had informed Magnus earlier that morning about Selene and Graysonâs situation, heâd resisted the idea at first. But this wasnât his life to dictate. Selene had endured enough suffering, and Magnus knew he had no right to interfere in such a personal decision.
Magnus finally spoke, his voice steady but laced with a hint of humility. âAlpha, I never thought Iâd find myself bowing to you. But I canât ignore what youâve done for my family. Itâs beyond anything I could have imagined. Thank you for watching over them while I was gone. As for the pack, itâs yours now. I canât take it back.â
Kane remained silent for a moment, his expression unreadable, before gesturing toward the couches.
âWonât you at least allow me to sit down?â he asked, breaking the tension in the room.
Evelyn, eager to ease the discomfort, quickly chimed in. âAlpha, please, take a seat. That was rude of us. Iâll get breakfast ready, and I hope youâll stay and share a meal with us before leaving.â
Kane gave her a small nod of acknowledgment, and Evelyn, relieved, hurried off to the kitchen.
Everyone settled into their seats, except for Selene, who stayed rooted in her spot by the couch. Kane didnât so much as glance in her direction again.
Breaking the silence, Kane addressed Magnus. âI never intended to accept your submission permanently. My plan was to return it to you before I officially claimed it. When I went to war, it wasnât to take your pack. My priority was your safety while you were unwell, so I held off on making any declarations. I want to apologize for how I handled things with your sister and the children.
Thatâs why I acted harshly toward your parents. It wasnât right.â
Alpha Malcolm shook his head firmly. âWhat youâve already done for us is more than enough. If anything, we should be thanking you.â
Kane then made it clear that Magnus would need to take back control of his pack. It wasnât something Kane wanted to keep, and he was resolute in his decision to hand it over. Magnus, though reluctant, had no choice but to comply. He assured Kane he would never forget the gesture and promised to be there if Kane ever needed anything in return.

< Chapter 377 +5Bonus Evelyn called everyone to the breakfast table, where an uncomfortable silence hung in the air.
Kane eventually broke it, turning to Magnus. âHowâs your health? Iâve heard Graysonâs an excellent healer. He did a remarkable job saving your life.â
Menu Magnus nodded. âAxel told me about the situation. Gamma Curtis orchestrated everything, trying to ruin my life by pushing his real daughter into my future.â
Selene, who had been silent throughout the meal, froze at her brotherâs words. Slowly, her eyes lifted from her plate and drifted toward Kane.
