The Alpha King’s Regret Hiding His Secret Twins by Isaiah

Kiara POV

“Yes… Everything is alright,” I replied, shutting my eyes and tilting my head back on the couch head post, letting the moment sink in, soaking up the tranquillity.

“Kiara…” He called out my name in his deep husky voice, interrupting my peaceful moment. I cracked open my eyes, meeting his dominant gaze.

I heard him sighing as he walked towards me, still bare-chested. His eyes burning with desire, a hunger for love that was crystal clear. Sometimes, I can’t even make eye contact with him. I don’t know if it was because his eyes looked so similar to his… or was it because he is something to me… Something more… something deeper?

I feel the exact same gravitational pull that I was familiar with. Which I felt with Killian and it was always like this and I couldn’t quite put my finger on the feeling. This shouldn’t be happening, right? He would nowhere near be my second chance mate. It was not right to feel this way with him. Not when I don’t want to register this feeling

anymore.

He yanked my arm, pulling me up. I stand in front of him. “Kiara, I know this might not be the right time to discuss it, but I want to ask you something. I know I have been giving you very clear signals, that I want to have something with you,” he spilled, and goosebumps erupted in my skin.

I don’t remember when Aries started to develop feelings for me but one look and anyone would tell that he wants every bit of me..

I have to keep my heart beat in a steady state as it wants to jump out of my chest. I don’t want to have any romantic feelings with him… or anyone else. I only want revenge… I know using him to destroy Killian’s pack is quite a daring plan I plotted but because of Killian I had lost many things in my life and destroying the precious thing he worked for is what would give me salvation and peace I have been looking for all these four

years.

I wanted the Madcrest pack to feel the exact same pain and fate which my pack faced. It don’t want to stop now. I know using Aries as a tool for my revenge is the shadiest move I have ever made in my life, but after facing death, this experience wouldn’t faze me a

bit.

His hand gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. The touch sparked something within me. And I can see him struggling to control himself. I wanted to ask him if he also felt the same electric sensation which I felt… whenever we are this close with each

other.

“I want to give Hanna and Ry the love they should receive from their father. I know Hanna looked up to me as her father’s figure, and I must admit that this feeling is making me greedy for you with each passing year I spent with you,” he confessed as his breadth, fanning my l*ps.

I closed my eyes as I bawled my hand into a tight fist. Taking a deep and calm breath, I opened my eyes. I took a step back and I could see pain and disappointment in his grey eyes. “Hanna and Ry will always be yours as much as they are mine, Aries. I was indebted to the care and love you have given them. I truly couldn’t ask for anything more… But I can’t think of romance,” I declared.

As uch as it hurts to say these words to him, I can’t let myself love him… Not when there’s still so much on my plate…

I turned my back on him, walking straight to the door. Desperate to escape from this room which was weighing with heavy tenison. Sure, I may not have a wolf in me

anymore, and I might have become weaker. That is the reason I always try to be careful. I can’t stand his Alpha aura……

But his next sentence froze me on the spot, making me clench the door kn ob until my knuckles turned white. “You still haven’t gotten over your mate right?” His words hit me like a punch to the gut. My jaw tightened when he mentioned him.

I had told him what happened to me and my pack but I didn’t mention Killian’s name or his pack….

His words catch me off guard. I tried to control my anger which was ready to burst. “I haven’t gotten over him?” I snarl at the very idea. It was a good thing that my hands were fisted as if they wanted to rip at my own hair for the flashback that just hit me hard.

The memory of the separation from my parents. The memory of asking for help from him and his betrayal left me to fight with fate. The memory of how I was this close to losing my children…. It all flooded back.

A wave of nausea churns within my stomach, and I have to concentrate on my breathing to keep it in check.

“He was the reason my parents got killed and my innocent pack member suffered a catastrophe… my brother who still didn’t know that I am alive… How could I get over that, get over the things he did to me?” I mutter, my words trailing off as they become a personal mantra of hatred for him.

He is the cold, ruthless alpha who should taste his own medicine… and I had made a promise to myself that I would get my revenge….

“Then why are you not giving me a chance? A chance to build a family with you? I know

the past you have faced is not easy to forget… Kiara… But I will do everything in my power to make you forget those nightmares which still haunt you,” he insisted as he grabbed my hand in his hold. It’s the same fisted hand and he gently unfurls my fingers, his touch soothing the spot where my nails had done some damage.

“I needed some time to wrap my head around this, Aries. I hope you will understand the time I take to accept your feelings…” I told him.

A smile stretched across his face, and the scent of roasting chestnut wafted through the room. And I felt that if I had my wolf in me, she would be jumping up and down now.

“Let’s go to the kitchen before those little rascals turn the kitchen upside down…” He suggested, and I chuckled as his hands went to my waist.

After the little chocolate shake date and some mischievous antics in the kitchen, they finally settled down for the night. Aries had some business with the Beta, and the pack members were out there getting their night training in. Arie being the alpha he is, always did the rounds at the border to make sure everything was on point.

“Can we have a bedtime story, Mummy… pretty please?” Hanna begged, doing the whole cute hands-together prayer move that made me always give in to her wishes.

“Alright, one story and then straight to the bed,” I agreed.

“Now, what story do you want to hear?” I asked.

“The choice is yours, mummy,” Hanna replied, and I tucked her in, planting a k*ss on her forehead. Ry strolled over from his bed to join the two of us.

For now, I had them sharing a room. I knew the day would come when they’d want their own space, but for the time being, they found comfort in each other’s company. It also eased my nightmares, knowing they were together in one room, making it simpler for me to check on them throughout the night.

“How about “Beauty and the Beast?” I suggested this because after doing so much work in the day. Arranging the meeting with packs and dealing with their issue. That is the only story that came to my mind. But sooner a chuckle left my l*ps when I saw Ry rolling his eyes.

“Seriously, Mum? A love story..” he groaned, as his little hand folded over his chest.

“Ry, I like love stories… You are not easy to please,” Hanna teased, elbowing her brother in the chest.

“Okay! Okay! Hanna don’t tease your elder brother,” I said, but she playfully jabbed him.

again. I shook my head as I turned my attention to Ry. “I don’t remember any of the stories Arics told you so bear with me,”

“There once lived a girl called Belle…” I started as they both snuggled up under the duvet.

“She lived with her father in a small village who was an inventor…”

“Where is our father, Mummy?” Ry’s question hit me like a punch to the gut, knocking everybit of air out of my lungs. I hadn’t mentioned their father, and although I expected these questions when they grew up, not at this tender age of four. I swallowed, feeling a lump form in the back of my throat making it difficult for me to speak up.

“Sorry Mummy, I didn’t mean to sadden you,” Ry climbed over the bed, wrapping his tiny arms around my waist, looking up at me.

“You haven’t, dear,” I whispered softly to him, drawing my fingers through his hairs, assuring him that he could always ask me anything, no matter how difficult the topic. might be.

“Did he hurt you? Was he mean to you?” Ry asked quietly, his eyes fixed on me.

“I want to know about Daddy too,” Hanna chimed in. As it was easy for me to talk about him. I chuckled softly and leaned forward to cup the side of her face.

“Your father is a busy man… he has lots of work to do. But I am certain that when you both get older you will be able to meet him then.”

“Yeah!” Ry

shouted in excitement, as he thrusted his little fisted hand in the air dancing

in celebration.

“Then I can’t wait to grow up fast, so that I can meet him,” Hanna exclaimed, as she joined her brother on the bed. Both of them jumped in happiness.

I watched them revel in the joy of the idea of meeting their father one day. But deep down, I’d do everything in my power to prevent that meeting. They didn’t need to know what kind of man he was. It was better for him to be busy, away, and to meet them one day. That seemed like the kinder option. They were mine, mine alone.

A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. Aries stood there, wearing a black. t-shirt which fitted to him like a second skin.

“These monsters are still not asleep?” he laughed and walked towards them grabbing both of them and trying to fit on the bed.

I chuckled softly as I listened to Ry complaining to tell him the stories of his hunting. and all. They were almost asleep when Aries’ phone rang. His expression darkened by

“What happened?” I ask him.

“A pack from among us was attacked by the rogue king and they needed our help.”
