All Chapters of The Alpha Hidden Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ariel Brent. POVIt was high time I left.The signs were everywhere. I had reached that point in my unlucky life.I, Ariel Brent, despite living for twenty-two werewolf years, still wasn't capable of doing a lot of things. A lot. I didn't even own my freedom.Maybe my heart would have ached a little if I wasn't staring at the screen of a withdrawing machine that boldly displayed my life savings.I was proud of myself and even if no one else would feel the same, Esther would. My sister would never fail to celebrate my small wins and the amount of money that was being displayed on the screen of the withdrawal machine wasn't so small.The sum of money was earned through hard work and when I eventually achieved my long-time dream of owning a diner, it became less hard to earn money. That was how I have been able to support my sister through the years since I owed my existence to Esther.Half of my monthly earnings always went to her to show my gratitude and also support her in my little

Ariel Brent My eyes found his face as I awaited his response. I understood that I was rushing the process, acting desperate and too forward but I didn't expect a man like Xavier to react the way he did to my request. He blushed. His toned skin couldn't hide the redness of his cheeks when he blushed and he appeared even more attractive to me. The proximity was messing with my mind and I forget about my fear when he blushed and just stared at me… I wondered what he must be thinking. Perhaps he thought I was a wayward female. I felt the need to explain to him and did dese the dominating emotions swiveling around us both. I wasn't used to being this close to a male. “I need the mark to tell my family that I have a mate. They will need evidence.” I uttered shyly yet nervously. The marking process was supposed to be sacred if it was happening between true mates or lovers but in my case, it was more of a necessity. “It might seem to you like I am in a rush but I have explanations and

Ariel BrentSay something to him, Ariel. Anything at all.“Answer me, Ariel or should I leave-”“I am trying to think of the best way to explain this to you, Xavier. Please calm down-”“You mean I should calm down and allow you to lie to me? Come on, Ariel.”We both didn't allow each other to talk, the way he was calling my name with anger didn't give me that mushy feeling. It made me sick, in fact.“Why will I lie to you, Xavier? I came here because I had to. Let me explain myself before you jump to conclusions.”I beseeched Xavier and he folded his arms, and leaned against his car, waiting for the explanation I had for him. I understood that he was angry that I attended but was it necessary?“My brother-in-law is the Alpha of this pack and he asked me to attend the banquet. I couldn't refuse and when you marked me, it was too late to back out of the initial arrangement.”I did my best to explain, letting Xavier know that I was still under Alpha Coles’s author for as long as I rema

Ariel BrentI was still looking around the big house when my cell phone started to ring. My eyes rolled as if they had a mind of their own when I saw that Xavier was the one calling me. I answered the call but focus on finding my way back to the living room where my box was still lying.Getting lost in this house would be easy.“Why aren't you opening the damn door!”His voice hit my eardrums and I didn't fail to hear the anger in it.“What door—”“The door to the house, Ariel. I have been knocking for ages. How did you fail to hear the banging sound?”Xavier interrupted. I felt bad for keeping him waiting by the door but the house was large enough for me not to hear him knocking on the front door and didn't he have a key? The key I found by the flower pot beside the entrance was what I used to enter the house and I assumed it was a spare key.I rushed to the living room and unlocked the door. Xavier’s face look swollen when he entered the house and I bite my lips, seeing that he was

Driving into the compound where the banquet was being held, a group of men who turned out to be security for that night rushed to welcome me. Laying out a red carpet, they all bowed as I majestically made my way into the hall.I have never really liked attention but I'm used to it. The wolves present, both male and female, tried to take pictures and yelled my name as I walked past them. I kept a straight face, ignoring their greetings. I've been called cold hearted because I rarely showed any emotion, maybe it's true."Our mate is here." Karl growled, signalling that Ariel was here.What?What is she doing here? Why did Ariel come to the banquet again? Did she also want to meet the Alpha King? Did she also want to get his attention and win his heart like the other females here? I guess I was too quick to believe that she was a good werewolf.With a frown on my face, I entered the banquet hall and immediately, loud screams filled the air, my subjects were always excited to meet me.
