I walked sneakily out of the house at 5:00 in the morning. I didn’t want to raise my father’s suspicion if I went out of the house in his sight. I’m just going to go to the tournament, have fun, and go home! Nothing’s probably gonna go wrong… right?
I looked at the flier on my hand and read the details. So, it’s a combat-type tournament for ages 18 to 25. All residents of Kvenland Village are invited, so I’m expecting some affiliates of the council to participate in the competition. It was still early in the morning, so I went to the park to practice some of my moves. I settled near the playground and let myself get lost in training.

Ah, shit.
I lost track of time, and now I’m going to be late. I ran toward the arena while glancing at my watch. I was still about 2 kilometers away, but it was only 3 minutes until the registration. I ran even harder until

Emery“Congratulations to this year’s winner— Mer!”The crowd roared as I raised my hands up in victory. I glanced at my now conscious teammates, and they threw me congratulatory smiles. I also looked to where my father was, but I saw that he looked anxious. Why is that?The MC started speaking once again, “Aside from the $10,000 cash prize, our winner will get the chance to meet with the ever-respected Council!”The crowd exclaimed in envy and awe, but I stood frozen on the stage.My father threw me a knowing look as I bit my lips. Fuck, is this a prize or a punishment?“Congrats, Mer!” Cy and the other members came to greet me cheerfully. I received the cash prize and decided to distribute the money equally among us. They tried to refuse at first, saying that I should just keep it, but I insisted. They gratefully took the money then went on their own ways.The MC guid

Emery6 months laterI laid down on the couch while binge-watching this new show called Squid Game. I screamed at the screen when Sangwoo betrayed Ali.“Fuck, no! Ali, don’t believe that evil bitch! Keep your marbles. No, no, no.”I groaned in annoyance when the masked guy shot Ali down. Welp, there goes my favorite character.I angrily munched down on the pistachio ice cream that was on my lap. I heard laughter behind me and saw my dad watching me in amusement.“Did you like him that much? I think what the other guy did was reasonable. He also has to stay alive.”I glared at him. “You don’t understand! He lost fair and square, but Ali still trusted him because they were friends. Do you go around killing your friends?”He put his hands up in the air, “Okay, okay. I won’t argue with you anymore. Geez, pregnant women are horrifying.”&ld

Emery3 years laterThe past three years have been uneventful but in a good way. Nothing grande really happened. It was only the three of us. It was peaceful. We tried to keep Arlo away from the public’s eye because he looked too much like his father, but he’s growing up and becoming more curious about the world. It’s getting harder and harder to keep him away from the public. I feel like Mother Gothel.However, we don’t restrict him too much! We just try to steer clear from large crowds and anyone affiliated with the council. I don’t know whether it’s because of his acquired genes, but Arlo doesn’t feel like an ordinary child.He’s been growing at a rapidly fast pace. At the age of 3, he can already read and write. Along with that, he is about a whole foot taller than the average three-year-old. Each day, he also resembles his father even more. The color of his eyes is the only feature that i

EmeryMy dad stammered, “What— What are you talking about? Daughter? My daughter died along with my wife more than 15 years ago. Where are you getting your nonsensical thinking from, Klaus?”Klaus chuckled, “Oh come on now, Crassus. Don’t regard me as a liar. I heard it come from your own mouths. About how this young woman right here called you dad when you went and visited the council room about four years ago. I wouldn’t dare share my suspicions without any confirmation and evidence. So, I did some digging around. And I must say, you did such a great job hiding this matter from the council, Crassus. But, I think I did a better job finding out the truth.”My mind was racing, and I couldn’t think properly. Why wasn’t I more careful? Fuck, what’s going to happen now?My dad held onto my hand to comfort me, and Klause awwed at the sight.“Such a sweet father-and-daughter pair

EmeryI peeped out of the entrance door and saw three brooding figures clad in black cloaks. I froze as I leaned against the door.“What are we going to do, dad?” I asked helplessly.“Let’s have Arlo get to safety first, then will take it from there.” My father was also anxious, but he put up a brave facade.I went to Arlo’s sleeping figure and gently woke him up. I felt bad as he was rubbing his eyes out of tiredness, but we had no other choice.“Mommy’s sorry for waking you up, but do you want to play with mommy right now?”Arlo looked up, confused. “Play?”“Yes, let’s see who can hide for the longest time, okay.” I carried him up to our room and placed him in the walk-in closet. I kneeled in front of him and gently smoothed out his hair.“If you hide here until mommy comes and gets you, I’ll make sure to buy you any

EmeryArlo was fine now, munching on some chips that I bought from a lady passing by. We boarded a train bound for Lucia County, where the Blood Shadow pack resides. I turned away from Arlo to hide my tears. I looked at the swiftly passing trees instead and wondered what it would be like if dad was with us right now.I shook my head and tried to smile. He’s probably in a better place now, holding my mom in his arms and finally living the life that they always wanted to live. I glanced towards Arlo. I have my own family now. It’s time for me to protect him with everything that I have, just like how my parents did for me.I saw him yawn through my peripheral vision, so I placed his head on my lap and let him fall into slumber. I looked at his peaceful sleeping face while I stroked his soft cheeks. I would do anything to let him keep this peaceful face of his. I would never allow anyone to ruin our family, even if it’s just the both

KairoI sighed as I opened my eyes from yet another sleepless night. I looked toward Amelia’s sleeping figure and wished that it was someone else instead. It’s been about four years since she left, but she’s all I could ever think of. Is this the consequence of my selfishness four years ago? If I wasn’t so stubborn, would I have been happier now?A lot of questions still linger in my mind— Has she been doing well? Is she living a better life now? Does she have someone else who holds her in her sleep?The last question made my head hurt, so I got up from bed and splashed my face with cold water. I didn’t bother waking Amelia up. I just went downstairs to the kitchen to have my usual breakfast.I thought about what happened during the past few days. Amelia and I’s child, Devyn, just celebrated his 4th birthday, and it’s one of the rare moments where I felt genuinely happy. I might feel indiffere

EmeryI sneezed upon waking up; the dust on the ceiling must have fallen while we were sleeping. I looked at Arlo’s cute sleeping figure and brushed the dust away from his face.We have a lot to do today. First, we have to get the house cleaned up, then we have to go to the mall to buy some clothes and other necessities, and after that, I need to find a babysitting service that can look after Arlo while I try to hunt for a job.But before any of that, I need to cook some breakfast for the both of us. It’s a good thing that I’ve packed some dry pancake batter; otherwise, we wouldn’t have anything to eat this morning.I went down quietly to the kitchen so as to not wake Arlo up. Then after cooking some pancakes, I gently shook him awake so we could start the day.We finished eating our breakfast, and Arlo was now sitting on my lap, playing with a Rubik's cube that he was able to pocket before we left our old hou

Third Person’s POV On a warm evening in April, the Ford family members are all gathered at one table. Emery prepared their favorite foods, and it seemed like things were going well. They looked like a perfect family, and they are! However, Emery and Laura started talking hushedly and giggling as the dessert was served. Kairo leaned closer to her lovely ladies in an attempt to hear their conversation. Laura turned to her swiftly and scooted closer to her mom. “What are you doing, dad? Can’t you see that mom and I are talking?” Kairo pouted and bitterly ate his black forest cake. “You’ve changed. You used to tell everything to daddy. But I guess you’re too cool for that now.” Laura is now in middle school, and Kairo has been feeling melancholic these past few days. He feels like time is moving too fast, and his once cute children can now live without depending on him. Laura sighed and pushed her seat back in its original placement. “I always tel

Dalton“You signed me up for what?” I asked incredulously as I looked at my group of friends. They were all looking at me with wide eyes, and I couldn’t help but sigh out.Emery fiddled with her fingers and avoided my gaze. “We kind of signed you up for a speed dating event.”I threw my head back and pinched the bridge of my nose. “Out of all things that you could have signed me up for, you signed me up for speed dating? You could have signed me up for a hotdog-eating event, horseback racing, corn tending, you could have even signed me up for a Japanese karaoke reality show, and I wouldn’t hesitate to agree. But this! This is too much!” I said and shook my head.Karina went over to me and shook my shoulders. “Oh, come on, Dalton! All of the events that you’ve suggested are even weirder than the speed dating event! We saw the ad on a very reliable site, so you don’t have to worry about its l

I let out a deep breath as I felt the bright and vibrant sun lightly hitting my closed eyelids.Wait… Sunlight? Why am I feeling sunlight?I always wake up before sunlight.I jolted up from my bed and checked the time on my phone.8:00 AMWhat the fuck! Why the hell didn’t my alarm go off? I looked at my set of alarms and saw that they were all turned off. I slammed my phone down on the bed and screamed the name of the one and only culprit.“Arlo! You motherfucker!” I screamed while making my way downstairs to find that bastard. He was sitting on the dining table, leisurely sipping his coffee.“Oh! You’re awake. Good morning, brother. Great day, isn’t it?”I walked closer to him and slammed my fist down the table. The mug

ArloI looked at myself in the mirror and could not help but whistle in satisfaction. Staring back at me is the most handsome and charming man that I’ve ever seen. Of course, that man is me. The music in the background only amplified my beauty, and I couldn’t help but look at myself in wonder.However, my self-loving session ended when someone turned off the music. I turned around to scold the culprit and saw my mom.“Mom! What are you doing in my room? Privacy, please!” I said exasperatedly.She gave me a tired look and went beside me. “Arlo, please. I love you very much, and you’re a very handsome boy. But you’re turning borderline narcissistic. You’ve been hanging out too long with your uncle Dalton. I need to speak to your father about this.”I gestured towards my new shoes and complained. “But Uncle Dalton’s a cool guy, mom! He just bought me some new shoes for my first day of s

Third Person’s POVEmery stood anxiously by the door while Kairo bounced in excitement. It has been a while since they’ve gone out on a date, and today, they finally got the chance to do that. Kairo went all out and booked an expensive hotel just outside the city for Emery and him.“Are we really leaving our kids to him?” Emery asked.“Hey! What’s wrong with me?” Dalton asked, distastefulness heard in his voice. “Just look at the kids! They’re so behaved now that I’m here.”After Dalton said that statement, Laura pushed off the contents of the living room table while Arlo chased Devyn with a worm. It seems like the house became more chaotic with Dalton just being there.Emery looked at him incredulously. “Are you serious?” She turned back to Kairo and held onto his shoulders. “Let’s have our date some other time, okay? Maybe when the kids get older.”

KairoToday, Emery is taking Arlo and Devyn to their monthly haircut, so I had to stay at home to take care of baby Laura all by myself. Laura is now three years old, and she’s the most energetic that she’s ever been. She wasn’t awake yet at the moment, so I had some time to breathe for myself.Emery had just finished arranging the boys’ bags when I went behind her to give her a back hug.She chuckled and turned around. She brought her arms around my neck and gave me a peck on my pouty lips. “What are you acting like a big baby for?” She asked softly.“You’re leaving me alone,” I whined.Emery chuckled. “I’m only going to take the boys for their haircut. It’s only going to take two hours at most. Besides, this is going to be a great opportunity for you to exercise your fatherhood. You haven’t even tried being alone with Laura now that she’s a toddler.”
The Alpha's Hidden Child Special Chapter: The First Words
Third Person’s POV Time flew by pretty quickly, and baby Laura is now a year old. Being an exceptional baby, she quickly developed the skills of a toddler, even as an infant. At a year old, she can already walk and write basic letters. She can even hum a tune! However, what is strange among all of these, is that she hasn’t uttered her first words yet. There were plenty of times when it felt like she was finally going to say her first words, but she sure does know how to play push-and-pull. Since everybody’s anticipating her first words, they’ve placed bets among themselves on what her first words are going to be. The group of friends was sitting on the floor in the living room. Along with them were Arlo, Devyn, and the grandparents. Crassus slammed his foot down the floor and intimidatingly looked at all of them. “I’m telling you right now. Laura’s first words will be ‘mama.’ It will always be ‘mama.’ Every other child that I’ve known

Third Person’s POVEmery is currently nine months pregnant, and everyone inside the house has been walking on eggshells. Her belly has protruded so much that she couldn’t even see her feet, and the gang feels like she’s ready to give birth at any time. All throughout the week, there have been many false alarms, and I guess this day was no exception.Karina and Emery were sunbathing near the pool while gossiping about the new human settlers just near the borders.“Did you see the way those girls looked at our mates? I couldn’t believe that they have the audacity to take their numbers when we were literally next to them!” Karina rambled.“Right? And can’t that blondie even see my baby bump? Like hello?

The Alpha's Hidden Child Special Chapter: The Disastrous Gender Reveal Party
Third Person’s POVThe group of friends was currently sitting down on their living room couch, huddled over Kairo’s laptop. It was pretty late at night, so the kids had all gone to sleep. They were currently watching gender reveal parties on a video platform.Different kinds of snacks were laid down on the table, and only the sound of the videos, along with their munching, could be heard in the room. They were on their fifth video now, but each member’s reaction was still lukewarm. Tired from all the mediocre gender reveal parties, Dalton roughly shut down the laptop and stood up.“I’m sick and tired of these videos. They’re too boring! It’s not enough for the unborn child of the strongest Alpha in the world and a Lycan. We need to go beyond all of these! We need to invite every pack that we can and show the world just how precious your future child is. Who’s with me?” He exclaimed with exaggerated motions.
