Chapter 89 Kane Get 5>

Menu As soon as I crossed the border, an overwhelming urge hit me–I wanted to turn back and bring that woman with me to my pack.

Rationally, I knew I should have stayed put until I received the report, but my instincts were pushing me in the opposite direction.

The pack she belonged to was her brother’s, and if my suspicions were correct, nothing would stop me from taking her and those children.

‘Am I really thinking about her again? Wasn’t it supposed to be just about those kids?‘ The thought unsettled me. ‘What if she comes back? What would I do then?‘ I shook my head, trying to clear my mind.

Every time I closed my eyes, her tear–streaked face surfaced in my thoughts. It dragged me back to the past–to the days when she had been my wife. I had hated her then. Every time I was near her, I never missed a chance to remind her of her so–called betrayal. Back then, her eyes would well up with tears, just like they had today. I had always convinced myself that she was just acting, putting on a show. But today... today, something felt different. It was as if, for the first time, she wasn’t lying.

So why couldn’t I believe it when she spoke of spending a night with another man? There was nothing to suggest that her twins were mine, no hints, no signs–so why couldn’t I simply dismiss this feeling in my gut?

A notification buzzed on my phone, snapping me out of my thoughts. It was a message from Finn, asking when I’d be back. I quickly replied, letting him know I was on my way.

As I was about to lock my phone, my gaze landed on my photo gallery. I opened it and stared at a simple yet heartwarming drawing–a couple with their children. I remembered Luna taking my phone after finishing her sketch, capturing a picture of it. She had told me she always struggled to complete the man’s face, but today, for some reason, she had finally managed to do it.

It felt deeply personal, as if she had drawn her own family. Her parents, her brother–they were all there. A pang of guilt crept into my chest. She had grown up without a father figure.

“I swear,” I muttered under my breath as I locked my phone, “if the report confirms what I think, I’ll bring you and your brother back with me. You deserve to have your father in your life. You won’t have to keep acting like you’re alone in this world.”

The drive from the border to my apartment took four hours, but the journey didn’t exhaust me. Instead, an odd sense of anticipation buzzed inside me, keeping me alert.

As soon as we arrived, I stepped out of the car and turned to my driver. “Take some rest,” I told him.

He blinked at me in shock, as if he had never heard such words from me before. Maybe he hadn’t.

It was still early morning when I entered my apartment. Finn was already inside, waiting for me.

“I’ve been losing my mind over here,” he said, standing up from the couch the moment he saw me.

I gave him a brief nod and started heading toward my bedroom.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” he asked, frustration clear in his voice.

“To take a shower.”

Finn scoffed. “Are you kidding me? I’ve been going crazy waiting for you, and you’re just gonna take a shower? Kane, are you even serious right now?”

Turning back to him, I said, “Give me a few minutes. I just need to clear my head first.”

He exhaled sharply but didn’t push further. I stepped into my room, letting the door shut behind me.

The cold water cascaded down my body, washing away the tension in my muscles. For a brief moment, I allowed myself to relax.

My hands pressed against the tiled wall in front of me as my mind drifted back to Selene.

‘If those kids are mine, why did she sign the divorce papers? Why did she do it? What the hell was she thinking? Was she lying to me this whole time? Was she planning to stay with another man?‘

The mere thought of her with someone else made my body tense up all over again. Even after all this time, after our divorce, the idea of her belonging to another man was unbearable.

By the time I stepped out of the shower, I had forced my emotions back into check. I quickly dressed in a suit, running a towel through my damp hair as I exited my bedroom.

Finn was pacing back and forth, looking more anxious than before.

“Are you finally ready to talk?” he asked, clearly at the end of his patience.

I nodded and told him everything that had happened yesterday. His eyes widened in shock when I revealed that I suspected the twins were mine.

“Kane,” he said cautiously, “we need to wait for the results. You can’t just claim them as yours without proof.”

I shot him a sharp glare. “I know they’re mine,” I said firmly. “I feel it. That boy–he was distant, like he was pushing me away, and it... it affected me. And that girl... there’s something about her. She feels familiar, like someone I should have always known.”

Finn looked at me, uncertainty flickering in his eyes. He was worried I was letting my emotions cloud my judgment. But deep down, I knew the truth.

“They’re mine,” I repeated.

Finn sighed but nodded. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number, putting it on speaker.

“Did you arrange it?” I asked as the call connected.

The doctor picked up, and Finn wasted no time in relaying what we needed. I took over the conversation, making it clear that everything he needed would be provided, but I wanted the results fast.

The man on the other end sounded nervous but quickly agreed. He even said he was honored to assist me with something so important.

“You’ll be compensated well,” Finn assured him before ending the call.

He turned back to me, his expression serious. “What if the results come back negative? What will you do then?”

Before I could answer, another voice cut through the room.

“What results are you talking about?”

I turned toward the sound, my gaze landing on Ruby as she stepped inside. The door had been 14:27 63.55%

She walked up to me, her tone soft but probing. “Kane, are you hiding something from me?
