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

Chapter 33

Kiara POV

The morning was spent preparing for the upcoming visit from the Ecl*pser pack beta and his mate. I readied the guest house for them to stay in case the meeting did not go the way Aries wanted.

And I have been assigned the job of preparing lunch for Aurora. She was the best at these things. And her amazing dark chocolate-flavoured bro wnies were reserved for the dessert. The dishes were mainly meat. Aries wanted this meeting to be perfect and I didn’t want to disappoint him.

Aurora was the total opposite of Lucia. If Lucia excelled at being a fighter to protect the pack. Aurora was skilled at filling the pack members’ stomachs up to the brim. My relationship with Aurora is as good as it was with Lucia. She reminds me so much of her… And I don’t understand why I remember her so much after four years.

“Are the dishes ready?” I asked as I helped her decorate the dining table.

“Yes, all done..” She smiled. I nodded before walking out of the kitchen, only to stumble upon Ry.

“Now where are you running off?” I asked. My hand is on my hips as I stare at him. His head was secured with a helmet, and his new trainer set was on which was a gift from Owen. I sighed at his unruly character. Not again..

“Mummy, can I go to ride a bike,” he pleaded, giving me those puppy eyes from where he learned these things?

“Ry I already told you that I can’t come with you. I had to make preparations for the arriving guest, and Aurora was busy. Why don’t you play in your room today?” I tried to coax him, but no, he listened to none. After so much bickering, he finally went with Aries, as he told me that he needed to receive the guest from the pack gate only.

I was busy talking with Aurora when Owen came.

“Where is Alpha? He is not responding to the mind-link, and the guests are already here..” Noah said and I furrowed my brows didn’t he say he went to receive them from the pack main gate only…

“I will try calling his phone…” I said to Noah as I turned to Aurora. “Can

you escort them to the main living room? And please take some drinks to entertain them. Meanwhile, I will bring Aries,” I said.

“Yes sure,” she said as she started preparing the drinks for the guest. I pulled out my phone from the jeans pocket as I couldn’t now have the blessing of mind-link and even,

if I could I didn’t belong to this pack which made it quite difficult for me to understand their emotions and feelings.

I tried calling him, but he still was not picking up my call and Noah tried mind-linking, but we got no response.

“We can’t make them wait any longer, Kiara. Why don’t you go and talk with them?” He suggested and I sighed before nodding my head.

“Welcome Beta,” I greeted the Ecl*pser Pack beta, who stood and gracefully greeted me with a warm smile.

“It was a pleasure to meet you, Luna. My Alpha and the pack are indebted for the help you did that day, saving the injured,” he said, and I couldn’t help but frown in confusion. Luna… He must be mistaken, as usually, in the absence of Alpha, the Luna receives their guest. But why Noah isn’t correcting him. I thought, so I decided to correct him but before I could I heard the sound of plumbing in the bathroom that was on the ground floor.

“I think there is a mistake..” I tried to correct him when Noah cut off.

“Please have a seat, it must have been a long way to come here,” he said, and soon I heard the bathroom door being opened. I decided to ask why they were doing this later. I put on a smile, turning to greet the female Beta when I froze on the spot upon seeing her….

“Welcome,” I turned to greet her with a smile when my eyes met with her, mouth dropped open.

Lucia was standing before me. She looked so different. A different in a good way. Her shoulder-length hair was now gracefully reached to her waist. And she was even wearing makeup. She looks a lot more girly this time.

“Kiara?” Her mouth moved, but I couldn’t hear my name that had come out through her l*ps. As I hear only the thumping of my heart. She was the female Beta of Ecl*pser Pack but I hadn’t seen her that day.

“Kiara, is that you?” She asked loudly this time as if she wanted to confirm that I was really standing in front of her and not a ghost.

She rushed towards me, pulling me into a bone-crushing hug as the tears started to gather in my eyes. I had been hiding perfectly all these four years, and from one moment to another, I stumbled back to my past.

Aurora, her mate and Noah looked surprised by this.

“I thought you were dead?” she asked in her broken voice, and I didn’t know how to

respond to her. It was quite a difficult moment for me but what’s even scarier is that, what if she told Killian about this.

I needed to put distance between us. I grabbed her shoulder, pulling her away from me. She got confused by my act but didn’t say anything.

“So far yes,” I replied shortly.

“You both know each other?” Her mate asked, trying to break the tension that had come

upon us.

“Kiara is the closest person to me… She was Luna before I met you,” her eyes flashed to him, and I knew she had told him about me through their mind-link.

When she disclosed my identity, Aurora and Noah’s faces were etched with shock and confusion. I sighed, this is getting out of hand. Where the hell is Aries.

“How long have you two known each other as mates?” I ask, trying to change the subject.

“It has been two years. I met Lucia in a mating ceremony organised by the Madcrest Pack. The Alpha King was reluctant to leave her as she was one of the best warriors in the world, but Lucia decided to come with me. When the attack happened, we were not present in the pack that time,” He explained. This is the reason I didn’t see them last

time.

“Beta Nikolai, why don’t I tour you around the pack until the alpha of the pack comes back? I think he was busy with something. I hope you won’t take it to heart for his absence,” I suggested, trying to show my hospitality to them. As much as I wanted to run away from this situation I had already put myself in. Aries, I saved time. I thought before I toured them around the pack.

Lucia tried to talk to me, but I didn’t give her any chance. We started from the alpha. house, to where they would be staying, to the small hospital which was built when I joined this pack. Our training ground where the members were training.

I bet Beta Nikolai liked everything, by the way, he seemed enchanted by the development we had done to the pack. This was a very crucial step, and I didn’t want to miss this. This is the thing through which we can win their trust for them to join our hands.

I was using the techniques which Killian uses whenever another pack visited. I learned. this from him. After we are done, we get back to the pack mansion. It had been an hour or more, and Aries still hadn’t returned. And it was now making me worried.

“Noah, could you please look for them? It’s been half past an hour, and they still haven’t returned home. I am getting worried,” I said to Noah, who nodded his head.

He was about to go when I heard Ry and Hanna running down the corridor…

Lucia’s eyes glared at me before she turned her head to watch them enter.

“Mummy… Mummy… look, we collected blueberries from the field so Aunt Aurora could make us my favourite pie,” Hanna laughed, filling the living room. And I want nothing more than to pick them up and hide them behind me.

My eyes went to Lucia, who was looking at them without batting a bit.

“I am sorry Beta Nikolai, the kids took up my time. I hope you understand,” Aries said, exuding his alpha aura, and I glanced up at Lucia, who was looking a bit hurt by this.

“Come on, kids, let’s clean you up,” Aurora said, understanding my worry as she rushed them up to their room.

“I hope my Luna has shown you around my pack, so let’s get to the business if you. don’t mind,” Aries said as he walked towards the coaches, but not before k*ssing me on my cheeks, and Lucia growling at him. Aries raised an eyebrow at her but didn’t budge as he went to my waist.

What the hell is wrong with him today? I removed his hand from my waist as I excused myself. I could hear their voices from the kitchen as they discussed about the treaty for protection.

I thought I had hidden better, but her voice took me by surprise.

“We all thought that we had lost you, and here you’re enjoying your life with another alpha…” Lucia said. Her face was etched with many emotions, but disappointment and sadness were the most prominent ones.

“Lucia, I don’t want to talk about the past.”

“Why wouldn’t you? It was you who left all of us behind, Kiara. Alpha King…” As soon as she said his name, furry rose through my chest as I saw red in front of me.

“Don’t say his name. He was responsible for everything that happened to my pack, Lucia. My pack was the first one which suffer the wrath of that rogue Alpha King, making me lose my parents and even my grandmother. I was in the hands of the dead when this pack opened the arm for me… for my kids,”

“And you think Alpha King wouldn’t accept you when you returned to the pack. And worse of all, you had hidden his kids… the official heir of the Mad Crest Pack,”

“Not his Lucia they were mine, only mine..” I snapped at her.

“Kiara, why did you hate him so much? It was you who took his happiness from him? How can you be this cruel, not even listen to him,”

“I hate him because I asked for his help when I was in a dire situation when we were battling for life. I asked for his help, and do you know what he replied to me? He said that by rejecting him I had to face this sh it. I don’t deserve to live…” I yelled this time.

“I was not happy with whatever happened to me, Lucia. I had only received a cold. shoulder from him, and at last, he even ignored my pleas and left me to die. And you told me it was not fair to him if I hid his children,” my chest was heaving. I knew by now the tears had wetted my checks.

Lucia looks confused as she asks, “You asked for help from him and he didn’t help you,” I nodded.

“Oh, Kiara, I didn’t know you went through so much,” She said and hugged me. This time I couldn’t hold back the longing I had felt for my friend and cried my heart out.

We were sitting in the kitchen as Lucia helped Ry and Hanna to bake a pie for them. I can see from her face that she was happy to be by their side. I heard footsteps as I looked to my side only to find Beta Nikolai.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Kiara. You were the same as Lucia described you,” He said as he took a seat beside.

“She was really disturbed thinking that she had lost you. She told me how much you did for her and for the pack. If I were in place of Alpha King I would be regretting by

now,

And couldn’t help but think, will he ever regret the things he had done to me?
