Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 18: Old Times
"Is he always out every morning and comes back this afternoon?" I asked while I was sewing the fabrics.It was already my second day working here at Desmond's hotel and I have a helper. It was Sir Elron who was also dependable on helping me to sew. I was surprised that he could also sew as well. I used the pattern parts from the time Niscia and I made Desmond's first tuxedo so it was easy on my side-cut fabrics and I didn't need to retake Desmond's measurement.Though even though it was only my second day, I noticed that Desmond usually went out a lot and would later be back this afternoon."Are you talking about Alpha Desmond?" I nodded as an answer while he was busy pouring some tea into my cup. I thanked him and managed to smell the black tea. "Indeed. He is busy working on something at the nearby town.""I see." I nodded my head, didn't want to ask some further questions as I didn't want to pry about Desmond's life. I just wanted to avoid knowing what life he has right now.We con

Desmond's eyes were blazing in anger as soon as each second had passed by. He didn't bat an eye that he had slapped me."Rejecting me is your best decision?" He sneered. "If that is so, then why did you even accept our mate bond?! You even married me, Seraphina!"I gritted my teeth. "I later found out that you were not the best decision I ever made, Desmond! That was why I left you. I left you because I cannot take you for being an absurd moron! You should not have become my mate!"I was too hurt by that time he knew that I was infertile and did not even dare to tell me. He consulted someone to be a surrogate mother thinking that he was helping me yet he did not realize he should have been truthful from the very start.Then, the things he did by sleeping with other women... I would never forget those memories that slapped me with the reality that Desmond would dare to choose to hurt me over and over.I hissed in pain when he had my hair with his hand, gripping it so tight so he could

"Just drop me here to the plaza," I said meekly when we were in the town where my flat was located."I'd love to escort you to where you are living, seraphim."I froze and glared at him as I could feel my heart pounding so fast. Blood rushed to my face, frightened at his words."No, thank you, Lord Verlice," I said calmly, not wanting him to know that what he said was making me nervous. "I'd rather go there alone," I said coldly.Desmond stretched out a smirk. If I was still living with him and didn't reject our mate bond, I could have sworn that I would get to be swooned by that kind of smile he was having right now."Now, now. Do not be so cold to me, Seraphina." He leaned forward and took my hand. I felt shivers down my spine when he brought my hand to his lips. "It is not as if we did not share the same bed earlier. Hmm?" he said, teasing."Because you forced me to!" I said through gritted teeth and took back my hand."Oh?" He had an amusement smile smeared on his lips. He took my

"By the next two weeks, I would be able to finish your tuxedo," I said to Desmond when we were having a morning meal on the balcony. Again.Actually, he threatened me again to eat with him for one week straight which was why I have no choice but to obey or he would inform Madam Ibanez of my disobedience."We will be leaving. You are going to come with me today," he said, ignoring my statement earlier as he wiped his mouth."What?" I looked at him, creasing my forehead as I finished my meal. "But I need to finish..."He butts in. "Why every word I say you keep on questioning them, Seraphina?" he said. His tone smeared with a coldness that sent shivers down my spine.He was trying to intimidate me. But I knew better how to fight him back, I guess."Because what you are saying is always filled with absurdness," I reasoned. "I am working as a seamstress for my employer and you are trying to ruin my schedule..."Desmond squinted his eyes. His hand on the table clenched. The veins on his ar

I didn't know how long we were traveling but I only realized we had arrived at the destination if it only weren't for the carriage stopping at an establishment.Desmond was the one who got out before he turned at me and opened his palm. Glaring at his hand, I was hesitant to accept it.My attention was not on him when I looked up to see the establishment in front of me. I blinked and managed to misstep on the stairs. I almost shrieked from tripping but then Desmond was quick enough to catch me in his arms."Careful." I held onto his shoulders, almost panicking. I could even feel my heart pounding so fast because I was not quick enough to analyze the situation.Instead, I was inside my ex-husband's arms. Our bodies were pressed against each other as we looked into each other's eyes. Our lips were a few inches from touching each other.At that moment, something awakened inside me that made my blood run cold. The whisper had me petrified...'Mate.'Desmond and I gasped in unison as our e

My knees wobbled at his husky whisper. His lips were teasingly caressing my earlobe. I closed my eyes and softly gasped when his hand reached for my cunt.I jumped to my feet and held onto his blazer when his fingers were playing with my clit causing me to spread my legs and offered myself to him."I haven't gotten started yet, you are all wet for me, seraphim..."I opened my eyes and met his lustful gaze. My breath became heavy as his finger kept brushing my clit up and down."Oh, god..." I leaned back to the wall as my eyes got droopy from the pleasure. I saw Desmond watching me with amusement in his eyes as he knew that my body would easily respond to his touch.The worst thing was... our mate bond suddenly reconnected. Because of it, I was getting deeply aroused each second Desmond was pleasuring me."What do you want, seraphim? Tell me..." he said as he lifted up my skirt and exposed me."Desmond..." I gulped when he unbuckled his belt and tied my hands with it. "I... I don't wan

I slept through the whole afternoon, tired from today's event. Desmond decided to go to any establishment. He even went to speak with a party decorator and even asked for my opinion.I was thinking by that time if he was preparing for Declan's birthday or his nephew, Daniel's birthday but I remembered that was impossible since the birthdays of those two were near the end of the year.I only woke up when I was already in the arms of Desmond and smelled his scent as my... mate again.I didn't know why the Moon Goddess reconnected our mate bond again but I was not happy to learn about this fact."Put me down this instant!" I said, half-embarrassed as he was going upstairs. "People are watching!" I immediately hid my face and buried it in the crook of his neck because I saw people looking on our way.That way, I came to smell the combination of orange, citrus, and cedarwood. With his scent, I could easily distinguish that he was really my mate.Desmond chuckled. "Who cares?" I shivered wh
Last Updated : 2023-01-09Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 25: Distract Him
I spent my whole evening finishing my work.Unfortunately, Desmond was watching me the whole time. He wouldn't remove his gaze away from me. He kept staring at me while I tried my best to concentrate on sewing his trousers."You know what is best to do at this point, Seraphina?" Desmond asked.I tried so hard not to yawn and focused my eyes on the needle I was using. "To sleep, yes," I said, not interested in engaging in conversation with him.He chuckled darkly. "Are you that sleepy?" he asked softly.I didn't answer and just released a sigh. I was too tired not to say anything. All I wanted was to finish this. I felt like I was returning to the same workload back when I was working at Madam Ibanez.Ah, yes. I would be able to finish this tuxedo and would return to that kind of environment soon.I was worried about Sander. I hope he is alright and is cooking his own meal right now. He must have been worried as to why I hadn't arrived home. I looked at the wall clock and saw that it w

Hiding the Alpha's Heir Epilogue
"Are you certain that you have no task for today?" I asked for the nth time as we headed to the kitchen area to grab snacks for the three kids who were near finishing their tasks.Desmond helped me prepare for their snacks but after a while, he hugged me from behind and couldn't stop sniffing my scent. "You sound like you want to shoo me away... I am sulking, seraphim." I could tell that he was pouting. "You know that we are on vacation.""Hilarious..." I leaned on his back and stayed in that position for a while.We were both enveloped in the silence that was so peaceful. Both of us were purring at each other's presence until I felt something poking behind me which made me frown."Desmond..." I warned him and pinched his arm."Aww!" He stepped backward and caressed his arm that I pinched. "That hurts..." He frowned."We can't do it right here." I shook my head.Desmond chuckled. "Ah, yes. It is not the two of us now. We have kids." I could feel my cheeks getting in heat right now beca
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 100: The Last Breath
"Wrong answer! Wrong answer! Wrong fucking answer!" Hazel said, losing her mind already as she kept stabbing Sander's chest until Sander screamed in pain while there was blood oozing from his chest. "Papa...! Mama...! Please help me...!" "Sander!" I cried. "You motherfucker! How fucking dare you!" Desmond attacked her by using his wolf speed. He tackled her down by holding her neck, gripping it. "Bring her to the prison cell! Bestow her a hundred lashes! You do it, Harvey!" he ordered angrily. "Sander!" I rushed by my son's side as he fell to the ground, coughing with so much blood. "No, no, no... Summon Anderson!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, panicking more. "Mama..." Sander groaned in pain, crying. "It hurts..." "I know, baby..." I decided to tear the skirt off my dress, not minding if it was a customized one. "Help me to wrap this," I said to Desmond as my hands were shaking right now. "Sander, son... It will be alright, hmm?" Desmond asked, already shedding tears as he
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 99: A Violent Upheaval
"Desmond..." I looked at him, worried upon hearing that.That woman... That fucking leech...She took Sander as her hostage! How dare she!Desmond growled so loud, grabbing everyone's attention as he had Harolyn in his arms. "Harvey, Oakley," he called after dispatching his elites and the pack warriors to look for Hazel."Alpha."He shot Harvey a glare. "We are going to talk later. She took Sander!" His voice raised. "You said that she will not cause a problem for me anymore, Harvey!" He grabbed Harvey's collar causing Harolyn to cry, frightened at his father's action."Papa..."Harvey gasped, horrified. "S-She is, Alpha. I-I didn't know that Hazel would be acting like this..." Then he looked at Harolyn who was sniffing, worried about her."You should've known better! She is your fucking sister, you dumbass Harvey!" Desmond couldn't help shouting at him causing everyone to look in our direction."P-Papa... Please don't be mad at Father..." Harolyn sobbed.I stepped forward even though
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 98: Luna of the Rising Diamond pack
"Desmond?""Hmm?""Do you still need to watch me getting measured?" I asked, looking at him in his reflection while he looked so alluring learning at the wall as he had Saoirse in his arms. "Are you finished with your Alpha duties?"They needed to measure my size because Desmond insisted that I need a new dress to wear to my upcoming Luna ceremony.Yes, Luna ceremony. Desmond and I sealed our mate bond again. We marked each other again to solidify our mate bond. It meant that I would become his pack member at the same time as the Luna of the Rising Diamond pack."Why? Don't you want me here?" Desmond frowned, looking like he was sulking.I playfully rolled my eyes. "I am thinking that you are not finished with your tasks." As soon as they were finished taking my measurement, I walked straight to him and tiptoed so I could kiss him fully on his lips.In my peripheral vision, Desmond covered Saoirse's eyes before he removed his hand after we finished kissing. He said that our daughter w
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 97: Love Prevails
To start anew with courtship, Desmond took a day off from his Alpha duties and decided to take me to the town. We dated and went to eat some delicious meals in a restaurant."I could have wished we brought our pups and the twins," I said as I suddenly missed them already.Desmond nodded. "But this time, it should be only the two of us, Seraphina. I really want you all for myself for this day."I tried my best not to exert a smile since it made me feel ticklish from what Desmond said, especially since he brought my hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. My wolf and I felt ticklish after that."Thank you for giving birth to our pups, seraphim. It must have been hard for you to leave because of how jerk I was before." He heaved a sigh. I could see how regretted all of the actions he had done in the past.It was clear that he would want to ask for my forgiveness. He never pressured me that I should forgive him now. He was being patient and more considerate to me now."You will not be
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 96: Hard to Get
"Mother!""Hezekiah... Harolyn..."Desmond and I watched their reunion as Hazel hugged her twins and rained them with kisses. Desmond intently watched them with his earnest expression. He was really watching them with wariness."What?" Desmond asked, surprised. His heart was racing so fast right now that he caught me looking at him.I inhaled slowly, having his amber eyes piercing me. "Um... I am glad that you bestow Hazel a chance to be with her twins." Even though Hazel threatened to kill me. She was just blinded by jealousy. I was certain that she would not do anything that would displease Desmond.I hope so.Desmond heaved out a sigh before he returned his glance to Hazel and the twins. "Actually, I am still hesitant to let Hazel see our twins. I still have no assurance that she really changed." He lowered his eyes to the ground. "But if you say that she really changed then I will believe you, Seraphina."His tone was soft and gentle. It was still unusual for me that Desmond was b
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 95: Hazel's Hostility
"What punishment did you bestow to Desmond, Mother? Why did he act like that?" I said as I sat beside Her and hugged my mother.Mother caressed my hair. "He has a fear of abandonment, dear. I just made it worse and bestowed on him some nightmares.""He has what? Fear of abandonment?" Then it hit me. If Mother meant that abandonment, was this the time that Desmond developed this when I left after finding out that he had an agreement with Hazel?"Yes," Mother answered the question I had in my mind. "Ever since that he forced you to return to his pack, Desmond is already paranoid and wants you to keep at bay. He does not want you to leave again. I know you have seen his desperation to fix your mate bond.""But the thing he did is to control me through that process until I felt suffocated with his actions." It almost resulted in Desmond wanting me to separate from Sander and I almost lost Saoirse when I had her in my belly."Indeed." Mother nodded. "Remember when you tried to make some te
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 94: His Fear
I was shocked when they called me that. Mama? They really called me that, right? And I freaking softened after that.I looked at Desmond, expecting that he heard what they whispered at me but his attention was on our daughter which he bestowed on her nannies. Saoirse was taken care of by the newly hired two nannies which Desmond himself picked. Since we needed to have a conversation, it would have been better if our daughter had not been present here."As you know, Hazel is not present here, Seraphina," Desmond began when the three of us were left here in the dining hall. I nodded as a response. "I already took custody from Hazel two years ago since she had been defying me so many times." He glared at Harvey.I shivered since he did not change the way he conversed with his people. But it seemed like he acted differently since Hazel was involved."I see." I already knew that... Mother told me what was happening in Desmond's pack. She made sure that I would not remain clueless until suc
Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 93: Something Change
"Oh, is this my baby Saoirse?" Desmond asked, looking at Saoirse in my arms after he carefully put down Sander to the ground.Nodding, I spoke. "Yes," I said softly as I wiped the tears. I turned to Saoirse who was slightly tilted her head, looking at her Papa. I gently held her hand. "Sweetheart, honey." She looked at me. "That's Papa, hmm?""Da-da?" She pointed at Desmond. I nodded and smiled. At that moment, Saoirse clapped her hands. "Da-da!" she exclaimed.Desmond cried more when our daughter reached out to him. "Saoirse..." He hugged her with so much gentleness. "You have grown up so well, my daughter..."I placed Sander by my side as I watched them having a reunion. I looked at how he adored Saoirse as he sniffed and kissed her forehead. Saoirse giggled after that.Then Desmond's eyes lingered on me which made my heart skip a beat. I decided to curtsy before him. "Greetings, Marquis Verlice."There was melancholy written in his eyes when I greeted him formally. "Greetings to yo
