Varessa's POV

~~~•••~~~~

I tightened my grip on Rachel's clothes and reached for the edge of her mask.

“Let's see what you're hiding behind this thing.”

“Your Majesty, please!” she pleaded, trying to pull away.

“Why are you so afraid of me seeing your face? What are you hiding?”

“Varessa!”

Keiran's voice stopped me.

I turned sharply. He was approaching us, his expression hard as he looked at my hand gripping Rachel.

“What is going on here?” he demanded.

I released her clothes and stepped back,

    Varessa's POV~~~•••~~~~I tightened my grip on Rachel's clothes and reached for the edge of her mask.“Let's see what you're hiding behind this thing.”“Your Majesty, please!” she pleaded, trying to pull away.“Why are you so afraid of me seeing your face? What are you hiding?”“Varessa!”Keiran's voice stopped me.I turned sharply. He was approaching us, his expression hard as he looked at my hand gripping Rachel.“What is going on here?” he demanded.I released her clothes and stepped back, quickly composing myself.“Nothing serious, my King. I was only asking Rachel a few questions.”“By grabbing her like that?”I forced a smile. “She was being disrespectful.”Keiran looked at Rachel. She immediately lowered her head, one hand moving to adjust her mask.I noticed it again, that mask. She protected it as though her life depended on it. Every time someone came close to her face, she became tense and defensive. It was beginning to draw my attention, and I was determined to find out w

  • ALPHA KEIRAN'S CONCUBINE    CHAPTER 51: Danger Lurking In

    Neira's POV“Tell us what happened at the palace. How have you been coping?”Elen sat beside me while Lily placed a cup of tea on the table. They had both been waiting for me to talk since I arrived. I didn't even know where to begin.“It hasn't been easy working at the palace and trying to keep up with the disguise,” I admitted, wrapping my hands around the cup. “Every day feels like I'm walking on dangerous ground. I have to be careful about everything I say and do.”Lily pulled a chair closer, her eyes widening with keen interest. “Has anyone become suspicious of you?”“Not exactly. But Keiran has been paying more attention to me than I expected.”Elen studied my face. “And what about your feelings for him? You once loved that man. Has being around him brought any of those feelings back?”I looked down at my tea. “Something happened last night,” I confessed.Both women stared at me. Their expressions made my pulse quicken.“What happened?” Lily asked.I hesitated before answering.

  • ALPHA KEIRAN'S CONCUBINE    CHAPTER 50: CLOSE TO BEING CAUGHT

    Varessa's POVI kept my head lowered as I listened to the elders discuss the evidence against my household. Every word they spoke made my blood boil, but I couldn't afford to let my anger show.After everything I had done to secure my position, I couldn't afford to let my cover be blown, not now. I clenched my hands beneath the table, forcing myself to remain calm.“Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?” one of the elders asked.I slowly raised my head, letting my eyes fill with tears.“I don't know who is behind this, but I would never betray my husband or this kingdom. Someone is clearly trying to use me to create trouble between the King and me. If they succeed, they will have an easier time bringing down the throne.”The elders exchanged looks.“Perhaps we should give the Queen time to prove her innocence,” one of them suggested.“I have nothing to hide,” I replied. “Investigate whoever you need to investigate. But I will not accept being treated like a traitor because s

  • ALPHA KEIRAN'S CONCUBINE    CHAPTER 49: A DANGEROUS DISCOVERY

    Keiran's POV I woke up and reached across the bed, expecting to find Rachel beside me. But my hand met only cold, empty sheets. I opened my eyes and looked at the space beside me. She was gone. Memories of the previous night came rushing back. My hands touched my lips as I remembered how good her lips had felt against mine and how comfortable it had been having her in my arms. It felt strangely familiar. Neira was all I saw while Rachel was in my bed last night. It was crazy, yet it felt so good. I couldn't help smiling at the thought. I got out of bed and reached for my robe. "Rachel, who are you?" A sharp knock at the door pulled me out of my thoughts. “Yes?.” Draven walked in carrying a folder. “Good morning, Your Majesty.” “What is it?” His expression and the way he looked at me made my jaw tighten. “We found something strange during the investigation into the recent attacks.” I took the folder from him and opened it. Inside were copies of supply records, delivery notes

  • ALPHA KEIRAN'S CONCUBINE    CHAPTER 48: The Things I Can't Forget.

    Neira's POV My eyes widened in disbelief. I could only stare at him. Keiran stood before me, breathing heavily, his eyes darker than usual. “Your Majesty, what are you saying?” “My wolf wants you.” I swallowed. “But I am only your daughter's caregiver. You should go to your wife.” His expression hardened. “This has nothing to do with Varessa. My wolf doesn't want her.” I stared at him, struggling to believe what I was hearing. Was this really happening again? The first time, I had been a helpless captive under his authority. Now, I was a masked caregiver who had come to the palace simply to earn a living. Did he always go after women he considered vulnerable? First a captive, now a poor caregiver who couldn't even afford to lose her job. I had once thought he was a good man, but perhaps I had been wrong. Was he simply the kind of man who took advantage of weak, helpless women? “Your Majesty, we are in the princess's room,” I reminded him. “Someone could walk in at any moment.

  • ALPHA KEIRAN'S CONCUBINE    CHAPTER 47: It's You My Wolf Wants

    KEIRAN'S POV I closed my eyes. No, I shouldn't be thinking about her.The door opened again, and Draven walked inside. He stopped when he saw me gripping the window frame.“Keiran?”I didn't answer immediately.He came closer, studying my face. “What's wrong with you?”“Nothing.”“Don't give me that. You look like you're about to tear the room apart.”I turned away from the window, breathing through my nose. “I'm going into rut.”Draven's expression changed. “Now?”I nodded.He looked towards the door Varessa had just walked through. “Then why did you send your wife away? Wasn't she the one who could help you through it?”I let out a frustrated breath.“It's not Varessa.”Draven frowned. “What do you mean?”“It's Rachel.”He stared at me as though he hadn't heard correctly.“Rachel? The masked woman?”“Yes.”“How is that possible? You barely know her. What does she have to do with your rut?”“I don't know!” I snapped, pressing a hand against my forehead. “That's what makes this so st
