Hiding the Alpha's Twins 15~ The Apology
~Avery~ "Mom, there's no 'calming down' here. He embarrassed me in front of everyone. He's arrogant, proud, and just impossible to work with. I don't think I can handle working with him any longer," I vented my frustrations to my mother over the phone, hastily stuffing my clothes into my suitcase.The incident at Thornwood Empire had left me seething. King seemed to have taken it upon himself to infuriate me intentionally. I had hoped for a bit of professionalism since he had been in this company business before me, but instead, he chose to flaunt his arrogance and pride. My mother's attempts at soothing my anger were futile; I could barely contain my frustration. I had already made up my mind that as soon as our call ended, I would call Marcus and tell him that the deal was off and to come and pick me up first thing tomorrow morning. I also planned to relinquish control to Tia and run out of this frustration after that call. Despite my mother's gentle persuasion to take a
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 16~ Ruined Lunch
~Avery~ My office felt like a personalized haven, vast and welcoming, with an interior that seemed tailored just for me. The colours and arrangements resonated deeply with my preferences, creating a space I was genuinely fond of. King and his team had outdone themselves, and although I hesitated to admit it, I was certain King had chosen these particular hues knowing they were among my favourites. While we didn't talk much when we were married, we had shared little talks about our likes and dislikes, and other trivial things. It warmed my heart to realize he remembered my favourite colours. Back in Blue Moon Pack, Duncan had employed me as his confidential secretary, which made both of us always together. My office was also nice and comfortable, but it had been in a corner beside his office, nothing as spacious as this.Throughout the rest of the previous day, after King departed from my home, he occupied my thoughts and had even haunted my dreams even though he was the last pers
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 17~ Pang of Jealousy
~Avery~ I stepped out of the car, not waiting for my assistant to turn off the engine. With a forceful push, I shut the door so hard it seemed like the windows might shatter. Fuelled by emotions I struggled to name, I marched towards the house. I had tried to convince myself that I was having a mood swing, after lunch and nothing more. I wasn't jealous that King and Regina were publicly displaying affection for me to watch. Entering the living room, I let my handbag fly from my grasp, watching it sail through the air before it made a soft landing on the sofa. With a heavy sigh, I dropped onto a sofa, the day's frustrations weighing me down. "Welcome, ma'am," my housekeeper muttered, and I almost jumped out of my skin.I looked at the older woman and sighed, rubbing my temple. I didn't remember this woman from my first stay here, but she had been very nice since I came here, though I couldn't tell if she was only being nice because of my status or if she was just a good perso
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 18~ The Ball
~Avery~ When I finally arrived at the rooftop ball party, it was already bustling with elites from different packs, mingling under the canopy of twinkling stars. It was a beautiful sight, and I enjoyed the entire ambience and atmosphere. I got out of the elevator and made my way in slowly and graciously, noticing as King turned to see what caught everyone else's attention. I saw the shock etched in his face, as he saw me and also noticed the flash of hatred in the eyes of his clingy princess, a.k.a. Regina. I only flashed a slight smile his way and passed them as if I had never seen them in my life before.Most people in this room had seen me and King together five years ago. I was that timid little girl who always hid in King's shadow, unnoticed while he basked in the limelight and the adoration showered upon him by others, particularly the ladies. I moved straight towards Alpha Cassius who was already walking towards me with a warm, welcoming smile. That was when the whispers
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 19~ In Her Place
~Avery~ “You two seem quite close,” one of the Alphas standing with us remarked with a teasing grin. “No!” I blurted before I could stop myself. "We’re not fond of each other in that way and are not close. We’re merely partners, discussing work matters.” Turning towards King, I sought his agreement. “Isn’t that right, King?”A flicker of something unidentifiable crossed King’s gaze—was it annoyance or anger? Then his jaw tightened, puzzling me. I wondered why he had that expression. Surely, he wasn’t expecting me to tell these men that we were close. We were married, but that had been a long time ago, and even then, we were not close. “Honey?” a soft female voice interrupted us.Our attention shifted to Regina, who stood not far off, offering King a warm smile, blatantly ignoring my presence. I couldn’t help but smirk inwardly, stepping back from King as if giving them space. “Hey, love,” King greeted, moving towards Regina and gently tucking a lock of her hair be
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 20~ The Attack
~Avery~Fear wrapped its cold fingers around my heart as I was surrounded by the chaos of screams and the menacing growls of our attackers. Everyone was running helter-skelter, and from where I was huddled, I could see them. The rogues fierce and powerful, were pushing people aside without mercy. They were searching for something or someone. I couldn't help but wonder how these wild, unruly rogues had managed to break into Alpha Cassius' pack, let alone disrupt his party. But they were known to be brute and reckless. Shivers of fear ran down my spine as the thoughts of my kids raced through my mind. Tears sprang to my eyes as I recalled how my conversation with my mom had ended that evening. I wished I had not been too harsh on her. If only I could take them back. I felt utterly defenceless and was torn between the urge to transform into my wolf form and the desperate hope for a miracle. I made a silent prayer to the moon goddess to save me.Suddenly, a rustling sound from behin
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 21~ Accusations
~Avery~ The morning sun hadn't fully risen when the shrill ring of my phone jolted me awake. A warmth enveloped me, a comforting presence that I quickly recognized when I turned around. There was King, lying right beside me, his arms wrapped around me, caging me to him. In a rush of panic, I pushed his arm away and checked beneath the blanket to see if I was fully clothed, a sigh of relief escaped me when I found my clothes still on. My quick movements caused King to move in his sleep. Not wasting a moment, I reached for the buzzing phone on the nightstand, noting it was my mom calling. "Good morning," King's voice, thick with sleep, greeted behind me.I glanced back at him, my look sharp enough to cut through the early haze, before slipping out of the bed. With the phone in hand, I made my way into the bathroom, making sure to lock the door behind me for a bit of privacy. "Hello, mom. Good morning," I whispered into the phone. "Hello, Avery. I hope you had a go
Hiding the Alpha's Twins 22~ Confession
~King~ I strode through the hospital entrance, flanked by two guards who held the double glass doors open. I was still seething from Avery's outrageous accusations this morning and her determination to cut me out of her life like a freshly sharpened blade. I admit I wanted her back, but I didn't appear desperate. Why was she acting as if my mere presence stung her? My subjects bowed as I made my way through the sterile hospital corridors, heading towards the room where Kristopher was admitted. He had fought valiantly, but before help could come, he had been deeply wounded and was still unconscious from so much loss of blood. This attack bothered me so much. It hadn't happened in my pack, but it had been aimed at someone under my protection. I had barely slept last night, thinking about the entire ordeal. Why was Avery the target of the attack? I had sent words to Alpha Cassius. He lost a lot of his members in the attack, but this issue had to be addressed properly. I was already mad
