All Chapters of Alpha Kane's Omega Mate.: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Julia's pov The next day, I stood outside with Penelope, watching as my brother and Kane drove off from the pack house. The car’s distant hum faded, but the uneasy weight in my chest only grew heavier. Something was going to happen,I could feel it in my bones,my hair stood up on alert and my instincts pricked my soul,Gray would attack , now that Kane was gone.All day, I clung to Penelope. There wasn’t much else to do. We threw ourselves into chores, cleaning, cooking, and prepping the guest rooms. Anything to keep our hands busy, anything to distract me from the gnawing feeling in my gut. In the garden, we pulled weeds and trimmed the hedges, the crisp scent of earth and plants doing little to calm my nerves. We worked in silence, the weight of what was left unsaid hanging between us.As the sun began to dip in the sky, casting everything in that golden light that would usually feel comforting, Madam Gloria found us. Her voice cut through the quiet like it always did, a little too s

Kane's povI could feel Alex’s nerves from across the room. He stood there, practically glued to the wall, his feet tapping the floor rhythmically, like he was trying to shake off whatever was running through his mind. I’d seen people nervous before, but this was different. It wasn’t the jittery kind of excitement you’d expect from someone about to head out on their first business trip. No, this felt...heavier.I tried to dismiss it at first, thinking maybe he was just not used to flying or something. After all, not everyone enjoyed traveling. But the way his eyes darted around the room, and the way he kept clenching and unclenching his fists, made me think there was something more going on.“Is something wrong?” I finally asked, keeping my voice casual, not wanting to push too hard.Alex's response was quick, almost too quick. "No, it's fine. Don’t worry about it."His tone was flat, dismissive. I didn’t know Alex well, but I wasn’t stupid. Something was definitely bothering him. If

Julia's povI sank deeper into the silence, my mind swirling with thoughts I didn't want to confront. Penelope's hand was still cold, lifeless in mine, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn't shake the weight of guilt pressing down on me.Then, as if on cue, there was a soft groan from the bed.Penelope.I shot up, gripping her hand tighter as her eyes fluttered open. Her gaze was distant at first, unfocused, but then slowly, they settled on me. My heart stuttered, relief flooding through me. “Penelope? Can you hear me?”She blinked a few times, her lips parting as if she was trying to form words but couldn’t quite manage it yet. Her throat must have been raw, her body still weak. But she was awake. She was here."J-Julia…" her voice was barely a whisper, but it was the most beautiful sound I’d heard in what felt like an eternity."I'm here. You're safe." I leaned closer, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. "Don't try to talk too much, okay? Just rest."Her eyes softened,

Kane's pov I lay there, watching Julia sleep, the rise and fall of her chest so steady, so calm, like the world outside didn’t exist, like everything in my life hadn’t just been turned upside down by her. The way her face softened, completely relaxed in her dreams, hit me harder than I wanted to admit. I could still feel the warmth of her skin against mine, could still taste her on my lips, that faint hint of sweetness that lingered in my mind. Her pink lips—soft, inviting, perfect. And her hair… God, her hair, so soft between my fingers when she clumsily tried to match my rhythm, each moment with her feeling like it was made just for me.She was adorable. A little unsure, maybe, but it only made me want her more, made me want to protect her in ways I never thought I would want to protect anyone. It was like she had crawled under my skin without even trying, and now she was just… there, like she had always been. My wolf stirred within me, his instinct to claim her, to make sure ev

Kane's pov.“Alpha Kane,” Hudgens said, his voice calm, a chilling facade barely concealing his anger. “What is this rumor about you choosing that low-life omega over my daughter?”I blinked, genuinely thrown off. “What rumors?” I replied, barely containing my surprise.He tilted his head, his lips twitching into a dark smile that held no warmth. “A lot has been said, Alpha Kane. So tell me, what game are you playing?”I held his gaze, feeling my own irritation rising. I wasn’t in the mood for these games, least of all from him. “I’ll have you know that I am not one to be insulted, Alpha Hudgens,” I said, my tone low but firm, making sure he knew I wasn’t here to play along. “I've done nothing to your daughter. I simply decided to give my people the choice—to let them have a say in who will stand by my side as their Luna. Isn’t that what a true leader does?”Luna Karla’s face twisted into an angry scowl. She slammed her hand down on the desk with a loud bang, startling me. “No relevan
