The Alpha Hidden Mate Chapter Thirteen
Ariel BrentI was waiting for Xavier to answer my question. He sighed and rubbed his forehead before opening his mouth to speak."That was a messenger. He was directed here by one of the neighbors who know me as a warrior to ask me for the address of the Alpha King's home." He explained. I thought about his answer for a while before shrugging.I accepted his explanation, not just because it sounds legit, but because I didn't want him to get angry at me again."All right. Well, I have to get ready for work." I said, making my way upstairs.The diner has been closed since yesterday and I can't let that continue. It's my only source of income and keeping it closed will make me lose a lot of customers.I took my bath and put on a pair of jeans with floral long sleeved crop top to match. I let my hair down and admired myself a little bit in the mirror before grabbing my purse and heading downstairs.Xavier was still sitting and scrolling through his phone. Wasn't he going out today?"Hey."

ALPHA KING XavierAriel came home from her diner looking exhausted but she still insisted on cooking for me. I tried to convince her to forget about it but her stubborn self wouldn't listen so I allowed her. I sat in the living room, occasionally looking in the direction of the kitchen to check if I would steal a glance at her.Twenty minutes later, she came out carrying a tray which contained the food. She placed it before me on a stool and sat next to me. She looked excited, maybe because this would be the first time I'm tasting her food.I stared at the food, it didn't look familiar at all. She did mention that it was a local dish. I'm not used to these, being an Alpha King and all that."What's wrong? You don't like it?" She asked, narrowing her eyes."Um.. I don't know what this is." I answered honestly. She stared at me like I just uttered an abomination."What planet are you from? She teased."Just take one bite, I promise you'll like it." She urged.I had to summon the courage

Ariel BrentThere was that flame again…The same flame I had seen in his hazel eyes last night after he collapsed on my wet body. It was right there again and his eyes turned into a darker shade of hazel- if that was even possible.My breath hitched and I could feel myself turning into a bubble of jelly as Xavier moved his face closer to mine.I will be a fool to not know what was about to happen.Rather than fight him, I closed my eyes and waited to see if he would go through with this. Despite my inability to perceive strongly like other werewolves, the intoxicating scent of desire took over my nostrils and I became weak to my toes…I breathed, “Xavier…”Much to my surprise his name sounded sweeter to my ears and the way it rolled off my tongue made me release a low moan.He groaned in response, wrapping his firm hands around my waist. Again, my breath hitched.Why not?Aside from the embarrassment I felt all through the night, I also couldn't get Xavier out of my mind. The way he s

ALPHA KING Xavier"When will you stop?" I barked at Jaxon, whose annoying eyes had been on me ever since we left my second home this morning.My Beta had taken it upon himself to annoy me throughout the day, even though we were both dealing with serious issues.Jaxon retorted, "Stop what? Has it become a crime to stare at my Alpha? I am simply admiring you, Alpha King."I hissed, "Stop this nonsense, Jaxon. I don't want to have you beheaded."I threatened my Beta, but he merely chuckled as he drove us back to the main pack land. We had been inspecting the borders of the territory since rogue attacks had skyrocketed recently."It's been a long day, Alpha King," Jaxon voiced after a few minutes of silence, and I agreed with him.Until he added, "It's good that you have a woman to go home to. You must be excited, and tonight is the perfect night to continue what you introduced early this morning-""Park the car!"I lashed out with a voice that clearly announced my anger and seriousness.

ALPHA KING XavierI grabbed the entrance door with the intention of opening the damn thing.How did I miss the fact that she wasn't in the house?Karl grunted, “You are stupid. That's why. How can you not differentiate between her presence and her scent? She has her scent almost everywhere in the house for goodness sake!”My wolf beast was furious. And I was also mad at myself.Imagine how many hours I have wasted within the safe walls of our home while Ariel was out there alone… or scared.I stared at the chaotic weather as I beat myself for being unattentive.Although I wasn't scared, it would be stupid to leave the safe walls of the house. The wind was strong and anything could happen to me while I search for Ariel.“Are you kidding me!”Karl barked within me. My last statement must have sounded illogical to my wolf beast but I was the Alpha King and I needed to think twice before jumping into a storm even though my mate's life was in danger.Even though I was scared that I might l

Ariel's heart pounded in her chest as Xavier's words echoed in her mind. He had yelled at her, called her stupid, and now he was pulling her into a tight hug. Confusion swirled within her, mixed with anger and hurt. How could he treat her like this? After everything they had been through, after the connection they shared, how could he still be so cold and distant?She pushed against his chest, trying to break free from his grip. "Let go of me," she said, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and sadness.Xavier's eyes widened in surprise, and he reluctantly released her. "Ariel, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just worried about you. I thought something had happened to you."Ariel scoffed, wiping away the tears that had started to fall from her eyes. "Worried about me? That's rich coming from you. You've been avoiding me ever since I found out the truth about our bond. You've treated me like I'm some burden, like I'm not worthy of your attention."Xavier's expression

Ariel looked at him, her eyes filled with curiosity. "But why? Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? And why did you kiss me?"Xavier hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to answer. He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "Ariel, I've realized that I've made a lot of mistakes. I've pushed you away, treated you poorly, and I can't live with the thought of losing you. I want to make things right, to rebuild our connection and show you how much you mean to me."Ariel's expression softened, her eyes filled with a mix of surprise and hope. "But you do know that everything that happens between us is just fake?” Ariel said to Xavier as she stroked her neck where Xavier had marked her when they first met and agreed to mate each other for the circumstances they had.Xavier was speechless, unable to find the right words to respond to Ariel's statement. He knew she was right, that their initial agreement to mate had been based on necessity rather than genuine love. But in that momen

Ariel took a deep breath as she prepared herself for another busy day at the diner. She had decided to focus on work and put her complicated feelings for Xavier aside. It wasn't easy, but she knew it was necessary for her own well-being.As the doors of the diner swung open, customers began to flood in, their voices filling the air. Ariel put on a smile and greeted each person with warmth and kindness, determined to provide the best service she could.Chloe, her ever-supportive friend, was by her side, helping to manage the influx of customers. The two of them worked together seamlessly, a well-oiled machine that kept the diner running smoothly.Throughout the day, Ariel's mind occasionally wandered to Xavier. She wondered what he was doing, how he was feeling, and if he had truly meant what he said about wanting to change. But she quickly pushed those thoughts aside, reminding herself that she needed to focus on the present.As the lunch rush died down, Chloe excused herself to run s

Ariel couldn't believe what she had just felt. It was a surge of emotions and a connection unlike anything she had ever experienced before. But Xavier's sudden movement away from her brought a wave of confusion and disappointment.Xavier moved away from Ariel, his expression filled with fear and hesitation. He didn't want her to find out about the mate bond, not yet. There were too many uncertainties and dangers surrounding their situation, and he didn't want to burden her with the weight of their connection.Ariel, on the other hand, felt a mix of happiness and curiosity. She had always longed for a deep connection and love, and the mate bond seemed to offer just that. She couldn't ignore the pull she felt towards Xavier, the way her inner wolf seemed to want to bond with him."Xavier, what was that?" Ariel asked, her voice filled with wonder and excitement. "I felt something inside me, like my inner wolf was awakening. What does it mean?"Xavier's eyes flickered with a mix of emotio
The Alpha Hidden Mate Chapter Sixty Three
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

Ariel POV—-As Alpha Calvin's hand lingered near hers, Ariel's heart raced with unease. She desperately needed to diffuse the tension and prevent Xavier from revealing his presence. Just as anxiety threatened to overwhelm her, the sound of the front door opening provided a much-needed distraction."Hey, Ariel, I brought over some of those books you wanted," Chloe's cheerful voice echoed through the house.Ariel's eyes widened with relief as Chloe walked into the kitchen, her gaze immediately falling on Alpha Calvin. She paused for a moment, taking in the tense atmosphere, before a mischievous smile crossed her face."Am I interrupting something?" Chloe asked, raising an eyebrow playfully.Alpha Calvin quickly withdrew his hand, his expression shifting from intensity to one of composed authority. He straightened his posture and cleared his throat."Chloe, it's good to see you," Alpha Calvin said, his tone polite but distant. "I was just having a discussion with Ariel. Perhaps we can co

Ariel pov—-Ariel's heart pounded in her chest as Alpha Calvin's piercing gaze bore into her. She was at a loss for words, her mind racing to come up with a plausible explanation."He... he just left for work," Ariel stammered, hoping Alpha Calvin would buy her lie. 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. She prayed that he would remain unseen.Just then, she caught a glimpse of Xavier's silhouette at the top of the stairs. He was watching them, his body tense and ready to spring into action if Alpha Calvin made any sudden moves. Ariel's heart ached for him, knowing the fear and tension he must be feeling."Ariel," Alpha Calvin began, his voice stern. "I don't appreciate being lied to."Ariel's heart skipped a beat. Had he seen through her lie? She

Alpa Calvin ——Alpha Calvin stormed into his office, his mind filled with frustration and anger. He couldn't believe Xavier had rejected his offer, refusing to accept the potential mate he had presented. The audacity of Xavier's defiance ignited a fire within Alpha Calvin, fueling his determination to form an alliance with Xavier's pack.As he paced back and forth, his thoughts raced, strategizing the next move in this delicate game. He couldn't let Xavier's rejection deter him. The bond between their packs was crucial for the survival and prosperity of both.Alpha Calvin knew Xavier's reluctance stemmed from a deep-rooted fear of being controlled and manipulated. But what Xavier failed to understand was that the mate bond was a source of strength, not a tool of oppression. It brought unity and stability to packs, ensuring their survival in a world filled with dangers.Alpha Calvin's mind drifted to Ariel, Esther's sister who had claimed to have found a mate but never returned home.

The Alpha Hidden Mate Chapter Fifty Nine
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. She appreciated Chloe's support and knew she could trust her with her deepest f

Xavier couldn't bear the weight of his imaginary guilt any longer. As he imagined the conversation with Cole reaching a critical point, he abruptly stood up and excused himself from the meeting. Without a word, he walked out of the throne room and headed directly to the study room.As he paced back and forth, trying to gather his thoughts on how to make Ariel stop thinking about having a baby, his grandmother Regina unexpectedly walked in. Her presence caught Xavier off guard, and he quickly tried to compose himself."Xavier, my dear grandson, what troubles you so deeply?" Regina's voice was filled with concern as she looked at Xavier with a mix of compassion and worry.Xavier hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. He knew that his grandmother had always been there for him, offering wisdom and guidance in times of need. But the weight of his secret and the conflicting emotions swirling within him made it difficult to open up."Grandma, I... I have something to tell you," Xa
The Alpha Hidden Mate Chapter Fifty Six
Xavier couldn't bear the weight of his guilt any longer. He knew that he had to confront his true identity as the Alpha king and leave the house he had shared with Ariel. With a heavy heart, he made the decision to return to the palace and fulfill his responsibilities.As Xavier prepared to leave, his mind was filled with thoughts of Ariel. He couldn't help but wonder how she would react when she learned the truth about him. Would she be angry? Would she feel betrayed? These questions haunted him as he packed his belongings.Just as Xavier was about to head out the door, there was a knock. He hesitated for a moment, unsure of who it could be. When he opened the door, hisnbeta was already there to escort him and when he entered the palace he was surprised to see Cole, Ariel's sister's husband, standing there."Xavier, I need to talk to you," Cole said, his voice filled with urgency. "It's about the pack. We're facing a dire situation, and we need your support."Xavier felt conflicted.
