NovelsFreeChapter 423 #Manu Selene froze for a moment, her hand instinctively hovering near her stomach. Slowly, she pressed her palm against it, her gaze fixed on Kane.
"What do you mean we don't need another? That's our child, Kane," she said softly, her voice trembling.
Kane's expression darkened as he frowned at her. "Do you really want another baby, Selene? We already have an heir and an heiress. I don't want more children. You and the twins are enough for me.
His words struck her like a blow. Before she could even share the news about the life growing inside her, he had already dismissed it as something unwanted. A deep ache spread through her chest, and her vision blurred with unshed tears. She turned her face away from him, trying to mask her pain. Slowly, she rose from the bed, her movements deliberate.

Without looking back, Selene bit her lip to keep her emotions in check. Taking a shaky breath, she replied, "I'll be back in a little while." She didn't wait for a response. She walked out of the bedroom, her steps brisk and her heart heavy. As soon as she was out of sight, tears spilled over, streaking down her face. She wiped them away quickly, trying to compose herself as she made her way to the balcony.
On her way, she ran into Wren, who stopped in her tracks. "I didn't tell the Alpha's parents about Leo's fever, just like you asked," Wren informed her, her tone careful.
"Good," Selene murmured, her voice subdued.
Wren's eyes narrowed slightly as she studied Selene's face. "Luna, are you alright? Leo will be fine," she offered, assuming Selene's tears were for her son.
Selene forced a weak smile. "Yeah. You can go rest now, Wren. Your Alpha is with the children." "Oh, alright," Wren said hesitantly before stepping aside.
Selene continued toward the balcony, her thoughts a swirling mess. She needed fresh air, a moment to herself. The excitement she'd felt about telling Kane the news had vanished, replaced by a hollow sadness. She had hoped this twould be different-he had missed so much when she was pregnant with the twins, and he'd openly regretted not being there for her. So why now, when they had another chance, was he so against it? What had changed in him? What was she suppos. The child was already growing inside her.
do now? The cool night air brushed against her skin as she stepped onto the darkened balcony. She moved toward the railing but stopped abruptly when she noticed someone else there. A tall figure stood in the shadows, the faint red glow of a cigarette flickering in the dark.
"Storm?" she said, recognizing him.
Gamma Storm turned toward her, startled. He quickly flicked the cigarette away, letting it fall to the ground below. He straightened, showing her the respect she deserved as Luna. "Selene, what are you doing out here?" She avoided his gaze. "I just need stalone," she muttered.

Storm hesitated, then gave her a small nod before stepping aside.
Selene walked past him ed past him gripping the railing tightly as the silvery moonlight se illuminated her face. She closed her eyes as silent tears streamed down her cheeks. When she married Kane again, she had believed her life would change for the better. But now, she felt like she was moving backward, trapped in a cycle of disappointment and heartache.
"Are you crying?" Storm's voice broke through the stillness, startling her slightly. He sounded genuinely m surprised. Selene had always been careful to keep her emotions private, even when Kane had gone missing. Only after his retum had anyone seen her shed tears in public.
She turned to face him slowly, her eyes glassy and red-rimmed. Storm's expression softene as he fooked at her, and she knew he already understood. He was one of the few people who knew about her pregnancy.
Her voice cracked as she whispered, "Storm, he doesn't want this baby." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
