All Chapters of Hiding the Alpha's Heir: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"Mama! Mama! Wake up!""What..." I groaned in annoyance when Sander was waking me up. "Sander... I am still sleepy..." I said, not wanting to open my eyes."But Papa and I prepared you for breakfast."I groaned and laid on my stomach to bury my face in the pillow. "Later..." I didn't get enough sleep last night so I really wanted to sleep more."Papa...""We can wake her up later.""But how about the food we cooked for this morning?""Hmm... I'll try to wake her up then."I felt my bed sinking beside me. Then a large hand caressed my hair causing me to have shivers. "Wake up, seraphim. Or do you wish for me to wake up in a different way?"I immediately opened my eyes when I heard Desmond's voice whispering to me. I turned my head beside me and saw that it was really Desmond and I was not dreaming."W-What are you doing here?" My eyes widened when his eyes glowed in lust as they raked them through my body.Desmond smiled sheepishly. Then he reached the strap of my night dress and pulle

I wiped the tears that fell from my eyes. Damn it... I should have not reminisced about our past. Why did it become so memorable to me? Why is that memory still sitting in my heart?I quietly left Desmond's chamber before I returned to the north hall, feeling dejected. I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling. Somehow I rejected going there. My hand crawled to my neck where I was holding the other ring—my wedding ring—which I already made as a pendant.I never threw this away and still managed to keep it by my side. But I never wore it to my ring finger on my left hand anymore because I already thought that it was futile to think to myself that I was still married to him.I managed to wear it from the time I removed my bangle. Ah, yes. That bangle was still in my flat. It was a good thing that I managed to wear this pendant. I was already planning on passing this down to Sander and having him keep the pendant but I was afraid he might lose it.Now that I recall. I caught Desmond looki

Sander had been feeling more cheerful for tonight. He was excited that he would have us on his bed to sleep.I couldn't say no to this little man. I promised myself that I would let Sander experience having a complete family. I must do what it takes even if it means of enduring Desmond by my side.I was just done taking a bath and wore a night dress. I went straight to Sander's bedroom, hearing soft giggles from him and deep chuckles from Desmond.Knocking, the laughter gradually dissipated. Desmond was the one who opened the door, having our son in his arms."You're here now, Mama," Sander exclaimed happily.I gently tapped his nose. "Of course. I promise that I will be here, right?" Or rather, Desmond begged me not to spoil the fun for Sander. I could have just ignored him the whole night and just focused on Sander.And that was how I was going to do it. I would ignore him.But my eyes betrayed me. I glanced at Desmond when I heard uneven breathing from him only to see him looking a

The ceremony...Desmond was finally making his move that he would be going to introduce Sander as the next heir of the House of Marquis Verlice and the next Alpha of the Rising Diamond pack.The act that he wished to discuss with me was just a decoy. In reality, he was really making a decision without me.I opened the door of his study room without bothering to knock. I came to see Desmond who was wearing his spectacles as he always did in the past as he looked at me to meet my darkened expression."No," I immediately said as soon as I locked the doorknob. "You are not going to do this to me, Desmond."He clasped his hands together and looked up as if he was a god. He didn't even falter even though he saw that I was mad right now. "Our pack members deserve to know that their Luna and our offspring are here already."My blood boiled more upon hearing this. "I am no longer a Luna here and Sander is not going to be the next Alpha, I told you," I said through gritted teeth.With my words,

I was silent the whole ceremony for Sander. I tried my best to put up the best smile because I didn't want to ruin this day for my son.He was now introduced as the son of the Alpha. Now that Desmond made this bold move, it meant that any movement from me that I would do something to separate him from this pack would be courting death.Shit... He was moving quickly as I expected. I should have known better.While Sander was busy playing with the other children, I came to see Declan and Mariana."So long, sister-in-law?" There was sarcasm smeared in his tone.I scoffed. "Long time no see, Declan." Then I glanced at his mate. "Mariana.""It has been a long time since we saw each other, Seraphina," Mariana said with a smile."You still dare to come back here after what you have done to my older brother?" Declan said through gritted teeth. His amber eyes were sparkling in anger."Declan..." Mariana hushed him, shaking his head. But Declan expressed that he was displeased that he was being
