The Alpha’s Hidden Heiress Chapter 196
ARIA'S POV Just when I thought that I was done answering unexpected questions, someone else suddenly stood up, his pen ready over his notepad. “Ms. Aria,” he began, “you mentioned your identity as the Griffith princess earlier. Why did you keep your identity hidden for so long?”The whispers started again, but I took a deep breath. “My identity wasn’t something I intentionally hid,” I replied. “It was just not relevant to my work. I wanted to build a career based on my talent, not my name.”The whispers grew louder, and another reporter quickly followed up. “Did your family know about this? Were they supportive of your decision to stay under the radar?”I hesitated for a moment before answering. “My family has always supported me in their own way. They understood that I needed to find my path independently.”A woman in the crowd raised her hand, her tone sharp. “Does that mean the Griffith Alpha approved of you working as a designer instead of taking on more... traditional duties as

ARIA'S POVI ran through the foggy forest, feeling my heart pound in my chest. The damp leaves crunched under my feet as I pushed forward, desperate to put as much distance as possible between myself and the life I was leaving behind.Behind me, I could hear bone-chilling howls that made my blood run cold. Two gray wolves were on my tail, their large forms barely visible in the fog. I could hear their heavy breathing and the sound of their footsteps as they got closed in on me."Stop running, bitch!" one of the werewolves yelled, his voice harsh and threatening.I felt sick to my stomach, but I had to keep going. “Leave me alone!" I shouted back, my voice hoarse and breathless.The other let out a cruel laugh. "Leave you alone?? Dante, the man you claim to be your husband, he killed our parents, our family. And because of him, we were forced to become rogues. Now, we will make him pay by killing you!”My mind reeled. Alpha Dante, the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack and my husband of t

ARIA'S POVAdam helped me out of the forest, his arm wrapped around me protectively as we made our way to his sleek black car.The drive to the hospital was a blur of streetlights and worried glances. I couldn't shake the feeling that my world had been turned upside down, again.We pulled up to the emergency entrance, and before I knew it, I was being whisked away in a wheelchair. Adam's voice boomed through the halls, demanding the best care, the top doctors.Soon after, I was in a comfortable bed in what looked more like a luxury hotel suite than a hospital room. Doctors and nurses bustled around me, checking my vitals and asking questions I could barely focus on answering."Adam," I whispered, reaching for his hand. "You really don't need to go through all this trouble. I'm fine."He squeezed my fingers gently. "Shh, little sister. Just let them take care of you."The head doctor, a kind-faced woman with salt-and-pepper hair, came over with a clipboard. "Well, you've been through q

ARIA'S POVThe phone slipped out of my fingers and landed on the bed. Dante's words echoed in my head, each one feeling like a knife twisting in my stomach.“...you are not allowed to get pregnant with my child. If you are, you better get rid of it. Immediately.”I sat there, numb, staring at nothing. How could he? How could he be so heartless?"Breathe, Aria," I whispered to myself, but the air felt thick, choking me.Minutes crawled by. Or was it hours? I couldn't tell.Suddenly, a loud buzz cut through the quiet.My phone.I glanced at it, feeling a mix of hope and dread. Maybe Dante had…With a shaky hand, I reached for the device. "Unknown number," the screen read.I let out a frustrated sigh. "Great. Just what I need. Some telemarketer trying to sell me crap I don't want."I almost tossed it aside, but something made me hesitate. Call it a woman's instinct or just plain curiosity, but I found myself opening the message.Just then, I gasped and quickly covered my mouth with my ha

ARIA'S POVHah! Happy? Dante was happy? While my world was crumbling around me, he was happy.I pressed myself against the wall, trying to make myself invisible. My heart was pounding so loud I was sure they could hear it."Linda," Dante's voice was gentle. "I promise you, I will do everything in my power to care for this child. I'll make sure that the little one grows up safe and loved. I will not let you both down.”He will not let them down? He was supposed to be making those promises to me, and not to Linda. What the hell was wrong with him?The room started to spin, and I felt like I might be sick right there in the hallway.I couldn't hold back the sob that escaped my lips. Quickly, I clapped a hand over my mouth, but it was too late."Did you hear something?" Linda asked.I heard footsteps approaching the door and panic surged through me. I couldn't let them see me like this - broken, pathetic, with tears streaming down my face. I was Aria, the princess of the Blood Moon Kingdo

ARIA'S POVI stood there, feeling my heart race, as I looked from Dante to Linda, then to Agatha, and finally back to Dante.The words were burning on the tip of my tongue, begging to be unleashed. I wanted so badly to scream. But as I opened my mouth, ready to let it all out, I saw Agatha's face.There was worry obvious in her expression, and the way she leaned on Linda for support. It was like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over me. The fight drained out of me in an instant.What good would it do to cause a scene? Especially with the servants hovering nearby, their curious eyes darting between us. I already felt humiliated enough, and I could see the way they looked at me as they walked by."I... I just needed some time alone," I said at last, the lie tasting bitter in my mouth. "I should have let you know. I'm sorry."Agatha's eyes narrowed slightly. "You needed some time alone?" she repeated, her voice laced with doubt. She shook her head, sighing heavily. "I don't have th

ARIA'S POVI stood in front of the mirror, smoothing down my plain blue dress. It wasn't fancy, but it was the nicest thing I owned.Three days had passed since Dante last spoke to me, and now here I was, getting ready for his mother's birthday celebration."It will only be for a few hours," I whispered to my reflection. "Just remember to smile and be polite."The moment I stepped into the grand hall of the Crescent Moon Pack's mansion, I felt out of place.Werewolves in designer clothes chatted and moved around, their laughter echoing off the high ceilings. I clutched my carefully wrapped gift tighter, searching the crowd for a familiar face.Out of nowhere, someone forcefully bumped into me. I stumbled, nearly dropping the gift."Watch where you're going!" a sharp voice snapped. I looked up to see a tall woman in a white dress glaring at me. "The help should know better than to get in the way."My cheeks burned. "I'm not-""Oh, let her be, Vivian," another woman cut in. "She's proba

ARIA'S POVI just stood there, feeling like a deer caught in headlights. My eyes burned with unshed tears, but I blinked them back fiercely. There was no way I was going to give these people the satisfaction of seeing me break down.I opened my mouth to defend myself, but Agatha cut me off with a sharp wave of her hand."Shut up!" she snapped, her voice filled with hate. "You've said quite enough, you little rogue."The room fell quiet as Agatha glared at me with a look that made me flinch a little. I felt small, so damn small, under her cold gaze."Do you have any idea," she began, her voice low and dangerous, "what you’ve done to this pack? To our future?"I swallowed nervously, confused. "What… what do you mean? What have I done?”Agatha's laughter was cruel and sharp. "Oh, don't play dumb, dear. It doesn't suit you." She then turned to address the crowd. "This... rogue," she spat the word like it was poison, "has ruined the future for our pack's future generation. The next heirs o

ARIA'S POV Standing on the stage, with the lights shining down on me, I could feel the weight of every pair of eyes in the room. The air was filled with whispers, astonishment spreading through the crowd like a wave.“Wait, is that really Aria?” one woman gasped, her voice loud enough to carry across the hall.“It can’t be,” another muttered. “The same Aria? The former Luna without a wolf? Alpha Dante's ex-wife?”A man beside them leaned in, his tone filled with disbelief. “She designed this jewelry? This masterpiece?”I held my head high, feeling my heart race in my chest as I looked out at the crowd. I didn’t need to see Linda to know she was somewhere in the crowd, her lips likely pressed into a tight line as she tried to keep her composure. The memory of her mockery earlier hurt, but now it only fueled my determination.In the midst of the whispers, I lifted the microphone, and the room slowly fell quiet, except for the occasional hushed remark.“Good evening, everyone,” I began

ARIA'S POVThe day of the launch had finally come. My heart raced as I stood in the waiting area, taking deep breaths to calm myself. Evelyn had already gone ahead to the venue full of energy as she prepared to impress the guests. I told her I would follow shortly. This was my first public appearance, and I needed a moment alone to gather myself.I adjusted the green satin dress Evelyn had chosen for me, its fabric cool against my skin. I felt a strange mix of excitement and fear. What if they don’t like my work? What if I mess up? My thoughts spiraled, but I shook my head. “No, Aria, you’ve worked too hard for this. You belong here,” I whispered to myself.As I smoothed my dress and prepared to walk into the venue, my phone buzzed in my clutch. For a moment, I considered ignoring it, thinking it might be Evelyn or some last minute update about the launch. But when I glanced at the screen, I saw “Mother” flashing, and my heart softened.I swiped to answer, holding the phone to my

DANTE'S POVThe moment Aria left, her image stayed with me, as if burned into my mind. She had looked so elegant in that green dress, the satin flowing around her like ripples on a calm lake. Her skin had seemed even more radiant against the fabric, smooth and untouched by the world’s harshness. I clenched my fists at my sides, silently cursing myself. Months had passed since I last saw her, and not once had I tried to talk to her, not even to explain. What kind of man was I? I was always so… dumb.“Dante! Dante!”Linda’s voice cut through my thoughts, sharp and urgent. I turned to see her staring at me, and for a brief moment, I thought I saw something fierce in her eyes—a flash of anger or jealousy. But it disappeared just as quickly, making me wonder if I had imagined it.“Are you even listening to me?” she asked, her voice laced with annoyance.“Sorry,” I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck. “What did you say?”“I said,” Linda began, her tone cold, “we need to find a suit fo
The Alpha’s Hidden Heiress Chapter 192
ARIA'S POV The boutique’s atmosphere suddenly felt suffocating, the air too thick to breathe. My hands clutched the fabric of the dress I was wearing, and my mind raced. The last time I had seen Linda and Dante was months ago, and back then, everything between us had been sharp edges and unspoken resentment. So why now, as they stood just a few feet away, did Linda smile warmly as if nothing had ever happened?I couldn’t move. My feet felt like they were glued to the floor as I stared at them. Time went by, and I suddenly realized that I must have been standing still for longer than I thought because, to my surprise, Linda was the one who came up to me."Aria, are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost," Linda's voice was cheerful, her smile wide. “It’s been such a long time!”I blinked, trying to process what was actually happening. Was I imagining things? Friendly? Warm? Linda? The woman who once made it clear that she couldn’t stand me? The same Linda who was always ready

ARIA'S POV My day started with Evelyn arriving at my house. She barely let me finish my morning coffee before dragging me out the door.“Aria, we have two days until your big launch, and we have to find you the perfect outfit. Something bold, something unforgettable.”I rolled my eyes but let her pull me along. “Evelyn, it’s just a launch. I don’t need anything too extravagant.”“Just a launch?” She stopped in her tracks and turned to glare at me. “Aria, this isn’t just a launch. It’s your debut! Everyone will be looking at you. You need to look like the star you are.”Evelyn took me to D.M., the most luxurious boutique in the city. Even from the outside, the store screamed luxury. The glass doors sparkled, and the golden lettering of its name shone in the sunlight.“Evelyn,” I said hesitantly, “this place is... a bit much.”“Exactly,” she replied with a grin, grabbing my arm and pulling me inside.The moment we stepped in, staff members greeted us with warm smiles and excellent mann

ARIA'S POVThe next day, I thought Evelyn might have forgotten all about the idea of a launch. After all, she had a habit of getting overly excited about things and then moving on to her next big idea. But when we met up, I quickly realized I was wrong.Evelyn greeted me with an energy that could light up a room. “Aria, I’ve been thinking about it all night,” she said, sitting down across from me.“Thinking about what?” I asked cautiously, though I already had a sinking feeling.“The launch, of course!” she exclaimed, her smile widening. “It was all I could think about. We have to do this, Aria. It’s going to be incredible!”I sighed. “Evelyn, I thought you were just throwing the idea out there yesterday. I didn’t think you were serious.”“Aria, you can’t keep a piece like ‘Tears of the Mermaid’ hidden.”And just like that, I found myself cornered, her eagerness too overwhelming to ignore. “I really don’t know if I can do this,” I said, fiddling nervously with the edge of my notebook
The Alpha’s Hidden Heiress Chapter 189
ARIA'S POV The gentle hum of the plane engines was a soft background noise, and the dim cabin lights made it easy to drift into sleep.I leaned back against my seat, exhaustion weighing heavily on me. Everything from the past few days replayed in my mind—Kieran’s fierce battle, the feast, his final words as we parted.I wasn’t sure when I finally closed my eyes, but when I woke up, Adam was gently shaking my shoulder.“Aria, wake up. We are home,” he said softly.I blinked, trying to shake off the sleepiness. The sight outside the window confirmed his words: the familiar tarmac of home greeted me, and standing there were my parents and Ryan.The moment I stepped off the plane, my mother rushed forward and pulled me into a tight embrace. Her arms were warm and trembling slightly as she held me close.“You’re safe,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “You’re finally home.”Tears welled up in my eyes as I hugged her back. “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you. I prom
The Alpha’s Hidden Heiress Chapter 188
ARIA'S POV The palace was quiet now, but the air felt heavy with everything that had happened. Alpha Mason was gone, and the rebellion was finally over. Kieran was still standing on the grass where the final fight had ended, his shoulders straight, but his eyes distant. His victory was clear, but there was no celebration in his stance.Adam and Finn stood a little away from me, deep in conversation. They were talking about our return home. “We need to leave soon,” Adam said, his tone firm. “Aria has helped Kieran just as she wanted, so her mission is complete, and it’s time to go.”I heard Finn agree, but my attention wasn’t on their words.My gaze lingered on Kieran, and I felt a tug in my chest. He looked alone, even with so many of his people surrounding him.“I need a moment,” I said softly, walking away from Adam and Finn before they could stop me.“Kieran,” I called gently as I approached him.He turned, his expression softening when he saw me. “Aria,” he said, his voice low
