The Alpha Hidden Mate Chapter Thirty One
I woke up the next morning with a sense of anticipation and nervousness. Leaving my fake home with Ariel had been a difficult decision, but the pull between us was undeniable. Now, I needed to return to the palace, but one burning question consumed my thoughts - why had Ariel been invited? And who had extended the invitation?As I made my way through the grand halls of the palace, my mind was consumed with these questions. I needed answers, and I knew that my grandmother, Regina, would be able to provide them.I found Regina in her study, surrounded by books and papers. She looked up from her work as I entered, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and concern."Xavier, my dear, what brings you here so early in the morning?" Regina asked, her voice filled with warmth.I approached her, a serious expression on my face. "Regina, I need to talk to you about something," I said, my voice filled with urgency. "Ariel received an invitation to the palace. Do you know anything about it?"

ARIELChloe and I exchanged a glance of disbelief as we stared at the coat in my hands. Xavier's name, clear as day, was imprinted on it. It was undeniable evidence that he was not only hiding something, but that he was also the Alpha King himself."He's the Alpha King?" I whispered, my voice barely audible. "But how? Why would he hide his true identity from me?"Chloe's eyes widened with realization. "Ariel, think about it. The Alpha King has always been a figure of power and authority. If Xavier revealed his true identity to you, it would have changed the dynamics of your relationship. He probably wanted to be sure that you loved him for who he was, not for his position."Her words made sense, but it was still difficult to process. I had fallen in love with Xavier, not knowing the truth about his true identity. The weight of the secrets he had kept from me suddenly felt heavier than ever.Just as Chloe and I were about to discuss our suspicions further, the sound of footsteps interr

Ariel——As I wiped away my tears, I took deep breath and looked into Chloe's eyes. It was time to reveal the truth, to unburden myself from the weight of the secret that had been consuming me."Chloe," I began, my voice steady but filled with trepidation. "There's something I need to tell you. Something that I should have told you a long time ago."Chloe's eyes widened, her curiosity piqued. "What is it, Ariel? You know you can tell me anything."I took another deep breath, gathering my thoughts before I continued. "You remember when Xavier and I told everyone that we were mates, right?"Chloe nodded slowly, confusion evident in her expression. "Yes, of course. It was a surprise to everyone, but we were all so happy for you."I looked down at my hands, unable to meet Chloe's gaze. "The truth is, Chloe... Xavier and I were never really mates."Chloe gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "What? But why? Why would you lie about something like that?"Tears welled up in my eyes once again

XAVIER—I watched as Ariel slept peacefully on the couch, her gentle breathing filling the room. She looked so serene, and a sense of protectiveness washed over me. I couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions as I continued to work, my mind divided between the tasks at hand and the woman who had just confessed her love for me.Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, my beta entered the study room, a sense of urgency in his expression. "Xavier, I apologize for interrupting, but there's an urgent matter at the palace. The Alpha requires your immediate presence."I sighed, knowing that duty called, but I couldn't bear to leave Ariel alone at home, especially at this late hour. I looked at her sleeping form, contemplating what to do. I couldn't possibly ask her to come with me, as it was against protocol for a non-royal to be present during important meetings.However, I couldn't just leave her here without knowing she would be safe. After a moment of contemplation, I made a decisio

ARIEL——I watched Xavier carefully, my heart heavy with the knowledge of his true identity. It pained me to see him continue to lie, to pretend that he was just a guard when I knew he was so much more. But I couldn't reveal that I knew his secret, not if it meant losing him for good.Every time he spoke about his duties as a guard, a pang of sadness echoed within me. I wanted so desperately to tell him that I understood, that I knew he was the Alpha of our pack. But the risk was too great. If I exposed his secret, it could put both him and the pack in danger.As Xavier continued to explain the dangers that came with being close to him, I felt a mix of frustration and longing. I wanted to be by his side, to support him in every way possible. But I had to respect his decision to keep me safe, even if it meant keeping me at a distance."Xavier, I understand," I said softly, my voice filled with a mixture of resignation and sadness. "I don't want to put you or the pack in danger. I'll tru

Ariel—-Regina's words echoed in my mind as I sat there, grappling with the weight of Xavier's secret. The thought of losing him, of being replaced as his mate, tore at my heart. But Regina was right, communication was crucial, and I needed to have an open and honest conversation with Xavier.As I contemplated the next steps, Regina's voice broke through my thoughts. "Ariel, does Xavier know that you're aware of his true identity?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.I shook my head, my voice barely above a whisper. "No, Regina. I haven't told him," I admitted, my heart sinking. "I'm afraid that if I reveal that I know he's the Alpha, he won't want me anymore. He'll see me as weak, as someone who can't handle the responsibilities that come with being an Alpha's mate."Regina's eyes filled with empathy as she reached over and gently cupped my face. "Ariel, you underestimate Xavier's love for you. He chose you as his fake mate, and he cares deeply for you," she reassured me. "You

Xavier——Xavier's mind raced as he absorbed Regina's words. The realization that Ariel was his true mate sent shockwaves through him, leaving him both elated and filled with regret. How had he kept this secret from her for so long? And why did Regina seem so urgent in discussing this now? Questions swirled in his mind as he hurriedly ended the call and made his way back home.As I entered our empty home, my worry intensified. Ariel was nowhere to be found, and her absence only fueled my growing concern. I paced anxiously, my mind consumed with thoughts of what could have happened. Had something gone wrong? Was she in danger?My heart pounded in my chest as I replayed my conversation with Regina. The weight of Ariel's question lingered, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her inquiry than met the eye. I couldn't help but be suspicious of Regina's constant probing and urgency.Unable to wait any longer, I grabbed my phone and dialed Ariel's number. It rang and rang,

She needed Esther's guidance and support, knowing that she was the only person she could trust with this information.As the phone rang, Ariel's palms grew sweaty, her nerves getting the best of her. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself as she waited for Esther to answer."Hello?" Esther's voice came through the line, filled with warmth and concern."Esther, it's Ariel," Ariel said, her voice trembling slightly. "I need to talk to you. It's about Xavier."There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, before Esther responded, her voice filled with understanding. "I've been waiting for this conversation, Ariel. I know that Xavier is the Alpha King."Ariel's breath caught in her throat, shock and relief flooding through her. She had expected Esther to be surprised by this revelation, but instead, she sounded as if she had

Xavier couldn't shake off the anger and resentment he felt towards Alpha Cole for his actions towards Ariel. Despite Ariel's reassurances and their agreement to be cautious, Xavier couldn't let it go. He needed to confront Alpha Cole and make it clear that he would not tolerate anyone disrespecting or harming Ariel.With determination in his eyes, Xavier made his way to Alpha Cole's office. As he entered, Alpha Cole looked up from his desk, a smile spreading across his face."Xavier! What a pleasant surprise," Alpha Cole greeted, extending his hand for a handshake. "I've been meaning to talk to you about some business opportunities. I think we could benefit from collaborating."Xavier ignored the offered hand and instead crossed his arms, his expression cold and unyielding. "I'm not here for business, Alpha Cole. I'm here to address your behavior towards Ariel."Alpha Cole's smile faltered, confusion replacing his initial enthusiasm. "I'm not sure what you're referring to, Xavier. I'v

She tried to keep her face neutral, her eyes betraying none of the fear that was threatening to consume her.Alpha Calvin's gaze didn't waver. He studied her for a moment, his expression unreadable. Ariel held her breath, her eyes darting to the staircase where Xavier was hiding.

Xavier —Xavier took a deep breath, formulating an excuse in his mind. "Alpha Calvin, the truth is that I've never believed in the concept of a mate bond or connection. I've always valued personal freedom and the ability to choose my own path."Alpha Calvin's brow furrowed, a mix of confusion and disbelief evident on his face. "But Xavier, you've always been a staunch advocate for pack unity and the traditional values of our kind. It's hard for me to believe that you would reject such an integral part of our culture."Xavier met Alpha Calvin's gaze, his eyes steady as he continued with his fabricated explanation. "I understand how it may seem contradictory, but I've seen too many forced pairings in the past that have led to unhappiness and discord within packs. I simply refuse to subject myself or anyone else to that."Alpha Calvin's expression softened slightly, but his skepticism lingered. "I see. So, you're suggesting that love and compatibility can be found outside of the mate bon

Chloe was taken aback by Ariel's outburst, her confusion evident on her face. "Ariel, I don't understand. Do you know who the Alpha King is? I mean, nobody has seen his face, so how could you possibly know about any marriage agreement?"Ariel quickly gathered her thoughts, realizing that she couldn't reveal Xavier's secret identity as the Alpha King. She took a deep breath, trying to compose herself before responding. "Chloe, I... I've heard rumors, but I don't have any concrete information. It's just something I've heard people talk about. I didn't mean to react so strongly."Chloe's expression softened as she sensed Ariel's discomfort. "Oh, Ariel, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I should have been more careful with my words. But if there's anything you need to talk about or if you want to share something, please know that I'm here for you."Ariel nodded, a mix of relief and guilt washing over her.
