Hiding the Alpha's Twins 19~ In Her Place
~Avery~ “You two seem quite close,” one of the Alphas standing with us remarked with a teasing grin. “No!” I blurted before I could stop myself. "We’re not fond of each other in that way and are not close. We’re merely partners, discussing work matters.” Turning towards King, I sought his agreement. “Isn’t that right, King?”A flicker of something unidentifiable crossed King’s gaze—was it annoyance or anger? Then his jaw tightened, puzzling me. I wondered why he had that expression. Surely, he wasn’t expecting me to tell these men that we were close. We were married, but that had been a long time ago, and even then, we were not close. “Honey?” a soft female voice interrupted us.Our attention shifted to Regina, who stood not far off, offering King a warm smile, blatantly ignoring my presence. I couldn’t help but smirk inwardly, stepping back from King as if giving them space. “Hey, love,” King greeted, moving towards Regina and gently tucking a lock of her hair be
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 20~ The Attack
~Avery~Fear wrapped its cold fingers around my heart as I was surrounded by the chaos of screams and the menacing growls of our attackers. Everyone was running helter-skelter, and from where I was huddled, I could see them. The rogues fierce and powerful, were pushing people aside without mercy. They were searching for something or someone. I couldn't help but wonder how these wild, unruly rogues had managed to break into Alpha Cassius' pack, let alone disrupt his party. But they were known to be brute and reckless. Shivers of fear ran down my spine as the thoughts of my kids raced through my mind. Tears sprang to my eyes as I recalled how my conversation with my mom had ended that evening. I wished I had not been too harsh on her. If only I could take them back. I felt utterly defenceless and was torn between the urge to transform into my wolf form and the desperate hope for a miracle. I made a silent prayer to the moon goddess to save me.Suddenly, a rustling sound from behin
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 21~ Accusations
~Avery~ The morning sun hadn't fully risen when the shrill ring of my phone jolted me awake. A warmth enveloped me, a comforting presence that I quickly recognized when I turned around. There was King, lying right beside me, his arms wrapped around me, caging me to him. In a rush of panic, I pushed his arm away and checked beneath the blanket to see if I was fully clothed, a sigh of relief escaped me when I found my clothes still on. My quick movements caused King to move in his sleep. Not wasting a moment, I reached for the buzzing phone on the nightstand, noting it was my mom calling. "Good morning," King's voice, thick with sleep, greeted behind me. I glanced back at him, my look sharp enough to cut through the early haze, before slipping out of the bed. With the phone in hand, I made my way into the bathroom, making sure to lock the door behind me for a bit of privacy. "Hello, mom. Good morning," I whispered into the phone. "Hello, Avery. I hope you had a good night's sle
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 22~ Confession
~King~ I strode through the hospital entrance, flanked by two guards who held the double glass doors open. I was still seething from Avery's outrageous accusations this morning and her determination to cut me out of her life like a freshly sharpened blade. I admit I wanted her back, but I didn't appear desperate. Why was she acting as if my mere presence stung her? My subjects bowed as I made my way through the sterile hospital corridors, heading towards the room where Kristopher was admitted. He had fought valiantly, but before help could come, he had been deeply wounded and was still unconscious from so much loss of blood. This attack bothered me so much. It hadn't happened in my pack, but it had been aimed at someone under my protection. I had barely slept last night, thinking about the entire ordeal. Why was Avery the target of the attack? I had sent words to Alpha Cassius. He lost a lot of his members in the attack, but this issue had to be addressed properly. I was already mad
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 23~ Kram
~Avery~ I turned the key in the lock and pushed open the door, leading the way into the new apartment with my mom and the twins following close behind. The place was spacious, just right for all of them. Divah, my help, had assured me it was safe and comfortable, and I had fallen in love with it the moment I walked in. It would serve as a perfect sanctuary for my mom and the twins until I got things sorted out. I was surprised to see that Jane, my new friend from Blue Moon Pack, tagged along with my family. Jane was reliable; I had put her to the test in various ways, and she had shown herself to be trustworthy. She had been recommended to me by my mother's friend whom we hid in her house then. When we had first met, she had just lost her job and had volunteered to look after Julian and Julia while Mom and I were at work. "Welcome home!" I exclaimed with enthusiasm as I turned around to face them. But Mom just stared at me blankly. I had put on dark shades to hide the brui
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 24~ Dinner Party
~King~ Our bags were whisked away to our rooms by servants as the King of Kram guided us into his grand party. It was a sight to behold, filled with men and women dressed in royal attire, oozing with regal charm. Avery and I felt somewhat out of place in our English clothes, but no one seemed to pay much attention to us. As we strolled through the gathering, all heads turned to acknowledge the king's presence with respect. King Omar made his way to the grandest table, where everyone bowed in reverence. King Omar took his seat at the head of the table, while I sat beside him. Avery chose a seat far away, opposite me, between two handsome young men with charming smiles. It irked me. Had she taken offence at my introduction of her as a business partner to Omar? But I doubt that. "You seem quite distracted," Omar observed, his words drawing my attention away from where I was initially focused. "Do I?" I replied, trying to focus on him. The king had decided to tell me a
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 25~ The Sting of Rejection
~Avery~ King wasn't saving me from the men when he suggested I retire for the night. I was truly enjoying the company of the men I was sandwiched between. I learned that they were princes. But in truth, I was tired and needed to rest. Besides, staying there all night just to avoid being alone with King wasn't a viable option. Not after the intense gazes he had been casting my way all through dinner. And the way my body reacted to his scrutiny worried me the most. No matter how much I tried to deny it or caution myself, I knew deep down that I still wanted him. But that didn't mean I was going to give in to him because things were very complicated now, and the lives of my two precious children were now involved. As we walked side by side, heading back to our various rooms, I walked mechanically beside him, making a conscious effort to keep a safe distance between us. I also tried to occupy my mind with other thoughts that didn't involve his power and strength— in bed. But those
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 26~ Stings of Rejection 2
~King~ Fuck Avery. My body ached, and my blood sang with the most unbearable frustration I had ever experienced. I still couldn't shake off the memory of last night and how it had ended. Avery had flat-out refused to have sex with me, even though her body language had been screaming out objections as she pushed me away. No woman had ever done that. No woman had ever rejected me. My phone rang for the second time, prompting me to toss aside the blanket, finally abandoning any hope of sleep. Reaching for the cell phone on the nightstand, I slid out of bed and slipped into my slippers. I shuffled over to the big bay window, throwing the curtains open to let the morning light flood in. Kram's morning sky was clear as crystal. I cracked open the window, and the exotic blooms from the palace gardens drifted in, mingling with the heavy fragrance of lilies that perfumed the room. It was over a few hours since she kicked me out of her room, still, I couldn't get my mind off
