Chapter 395 Selene stood frozen, her entire body stiffening at his words.
âWade?â

= Menu As if on cue, the officials grasped the gravity of the situation. Without hesitation, they turned their attention to the invading Alpha and launched their attack. The battlefield erupted into chaos once more as they clashed with his men, their sole aim to eliminate the enemy Alpha and bring an end to the war.
Nathan, however, remained unbothered. He merely shrugged, unfazed by the bloodshed around him, and continued as if their battle held no importance to him.
âThatâs rightâWade,â he confirmed, his voice laced with bitter amusement. âGamma Curtis was my father. And you all killed him.â
Seleneâs eyes darkened with shock.
Nathan pressed on, his tone growing colder with each word.
âI was the son of his first wife, though he never once acknowledged me. But he made a promiseâhe swore he would help me take control of this pack. Then, that bastard betrayed me. He wanted his precious daughter to become Luna instead.â
Selene stared at him in disbelief, unable to reconcile the man before her with the friend she had once known.
Nathan took her silence as an opportunity to spill every dark truth he had buried for years.
âIn the end, I suppose I got lucky,â he sneered. âMy father and his family died together. If they hadnât, he would have kept fighting for Rubyâs claim. I did that girl a favor, reallyâI kept the truth hidden for her. I was the one who switched your name with hers in the hospital report when Kaneâs father asked me. I lied to Kane about Rubyâs condition. I was the reason he never knew the truth about your children.â
Seleneâs wolf let out a low growl, but Nathan wasnât finished. His next words sent an icy shiver down her spine.
âKane would have accepted those children from the start. But I made sure you believed otherwise. I twisted your thoughts, planted the fear in your mind. I manipulated you into thinking Kane would kill them. Thatâs why you left.â
Though she remained in her wolf form, the shock was evident in her posture, in the way her breath hitched.
âNo... thatâs not true,â she protested through the mindâlink, desperation lacing her voice.
Nathan smirked, as if reveling in her pain. âOh, but it is. Want to hear more? Kaneâs father was never as sick as you thought.
That was my lie too. I manipulated everyone and forced you to give me Graysonâs cure. Why? So that when I killed your brother, no one would be able to save him.â
Seleneâs entire body trembled. The more Nathan spoke, the more the world crumbled around her.
For years, she had trusted him. She had believed he was a friend, someone who had looked out for her 16:12 74.11%
#Menu and her children. But now, the truth unraveled before her like a nightmare.
âI was the one who tipped off Alpha Hunter,â Nathan continued, his tone growing more sinister. âI wanted Kane to rush to your rescue so you could both die together. But my plan backfired when Kane killed him instead. I was the one who gave Hunter those poisoned stakes, intending to wipe you all out. But that fool-â Nathan scoffed. âHe was too weak to even land a proper hit.â
Seleneâs mind reeled, every word cutting deeper than the last.
âHow could you, Nathan? I thought you were my friend,â she whispered through the link, her voice barely holding together.
Nathan let out a low chuckle and shook his head, as if pitying her naivety.
âFriend?â he repeated mockingly. âOh, Selene... Iâm going to be your husband soon. And do you know what the greatest accomplishment of my life will be? Killing your beloved exâhusband.â
Seleneâs stomach twisted violently.
Nathan took a step closer, his gaze sharp with cruel satisfaction. âKane always thought he was untouchable. But the fool never realized someone was one step ahead of him.â
Then, with a smirk, he dropped the final blow.
âI was the one who supplied Alpha Draven with the poisonous stakeâjust as I did with Hunter. Do you know why Kane is struggling to recover? Because I poisoned him long before this battle even began. He trusted me as his doctor. I treated him for months, injecting a slowâacting toxin into his system, weakening his wolf bit by bit. And now... thereâs no cure left in this world that can save him.â
Before Selene could react, the enemy Alphaâhis patience long since lostâbarreled through Kaneâs officials, shoving them aside as he charged toward her.
Unlike Nathan, he didnât care for words or revelations. His only goal was to kill Selene and claim the Nightfall Pack for himself.
She had been so consumed by Nathanâs confession that she hadnât noticed the imminent danger.
Finnâs voice roared through the mindâlink, urgent and desperate.
âSelene, move!â
But it was too late.
