Chapter 376 Selene was stunned by the announcement. Her wide eyes darted toward her family, who seemed just as shocked as she was. In that moment, she understood why none of them had answered her earlier- they were all equally floored by the news.
Why would Kane do this? Magnus had already submitted to him during the war, relinquishing his claim to the Iron Crown Pack. Kane had no obligation to return it. There had been no promises, no negotiations. So why now? "Brother?" Selene muttered, turning to Magnus, hoping for skind of explanation.

"Alpha Kane... he's proven to be a very generous man." "I still can't wrap my head around this," Evelyn, Selene's mother, added, her voice tinged with amazement. “He announced this publicly? Just like that?" Axel, standing nearby, kept his gaze fixed on Magnus. His expression was sharp, as though he were waiting for his Alpha's decision.
Magnus shifted slightly, attempting to rise from his seat. Both Selene and Axel instinctively moved forward to help him, but before they could, Kane's men stepped in, lifting Magnus gently and helping him stand.
Magnus shook his head, signaling that he was fine, before turning to look at his parents. His voice was calm but resolute. "I can't accept the Iron Crown Pack again. That man fought for it. It wasn't just aboutsurrendering- it wasn't even my victory to claim. Kane killed Alpha Hunter himself and won the war on his own." Alpha Malcolm stood from his seat, placing a firm hand on Magnus's shoulder. His voice was laced with emotion. "Magnus, that pack is our home. Our ancestors built it with their blood and sweat. Alpha Hunter betrayed you-he was supposed to be your friend, and he turned on you. That's why you becsick and why the pack suffered. If you had been healthy, you would have won that war. You deserve to take back what is rightfully yours." Magnus smiled faintly at his father, but his tone remained firm. “Dad, I know you're thinking about what's best for all of us. Believe me, I've thought about it too. But I made my decision during the war when I submitted to Kane. He didn't just win the pack-he earned it. The way he protected all of you, the way he allowed us to live here with dignity and respect... I can't take that pack back from him. I won't. If we return to the Iron Crown Pack, it will be as members or pillars of the community-not as its royal family." Alpha Malcolm stared at his son for a moment, his pride evident. Magnus had always been a strong and honorable man, and today, he had proven that once again. There was no ego in his decision, only the desire to do what was right.
Selene, however, was still trying to comprehend everything. Her thoughts raced as she looked at her family. Nothing about this situation made sense. Why was Kane acting so... selfless? No Alpha would willingly give up territory, especially not an entire pack. Land wer 1621 +5Bonus Menu were fiercely territorial. But Kane had offered the Iron Crown Pack back to her brother-the brother of the woman who had divorced him and rejected him at every turn. It was unheard of.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she tried to piece it together. Why was Kane so different now? What was driving him? Magnus's voice broke through her thoughts. “So, the decision is final. I am not taking over the Iron Crown Pack- He stopped abruptly, his gaze shifting toward the window. A few sleek black cars had just pulled up outside the house.

Selene's breath hitched as she followed his line of sight. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the familiar figure stepping out of one of the cars. Alpha Kane.
He moved with the confidence and authority of a king, his powerful aura filling the space even before he himm entered. Everything about him NO radiated dominance, from the sharp cut of his suit to the way his men flanked him protectively. Even someone who had never met him would recognize his Alpha status instantly. As he entered the house, Selene's family instinctively bowed their heads in respect. Kane's presence demanded it-it was impossible to resist.
Magnus straightened his posture as Kane stepped closer. A warm smile spread across his face, and he greeted the Alpha with a respectful bow. "Alpha Kane, it's been a long time." 16 32 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
