Once The Alpha's Little Secret, Now His Greatest Regret

Ever's POV “This is the third time this year we're catching you both out of your stations…without permission” The senior Matron let out, her voice full of frustration as she wrote our names down again in the black list.If I were given a shekel for everytime my name had entered that list, I'd be richer than many merchants in the pack.“It seems we haven't been punishing you both properly” She let out. “I don't think cleaning the outer pack house is enough punishment for two meatheads who never obey instructions” she lashed out.“For the whole of this week, while the other omegas sleep. You both will tend the horses and keep their stables clean” She wrote down.Kia and I glanced at each other, relieved.“And…” She continued as we both jerked back in anticipation. “I’ll be cutting short your daily rations. One ration a day and that will only be mid-day when you're done with cleaning the royal pack houses” She penned again.“Luna is also going to be needing extra assistance getting to k

Ever's POV I couldn't explain the amount of relief I felt hearing that from him directly.I broke free from his hug and stood face to face with him, making sure he understood how unhappy I was with him.“You have a lot of explaining to do” I folded my arms, awaiting his explanation.“Sit first?” He offered. “No. Explain yourself first” I told him.“It's a long story. Are you sure standing is really the best option” His voice cooed.“Fine,” I shrugged, trying so hard to hide how happy I was to see him after all these weeks. But I'd never be fully happy without knowing what was going on between him and Rhaeya.“Who? What? Why's she here? Why didn't you say anything when Beta Roy called her your Luna? What happened during your leave?” All the questions I had kept in since noon dropped one after the other, not giving him time to register one before I dropped the next.He lowered his gaze, the way he usually did,. anytime he couldn't find his words.“Do you really want her as your Luna?

Ever's POV:“Who's there?” I asked again, dressing up fully. I took quiet steps, drawing closer to where the sound came from.I cleared the path between and found a man laying there, wincing in pain. He had sustained an injury on his foot.It was late at night and this man just popped out of God knows where. I wasn't about to risk my life helping someone I didn't know anything about. His face also looked very unfamiliar, not like I knew everyone in the Pack but if I had seen him somewhere before, I would know.My heart skipped a beat as I thought.“Could he have seen Hagan and me getting all cozy?”“Please help.” He let out, startling me. “I was just passing by when my leg hit this stone out of nowhere”I let out a deep sigh of relief. So he probably hadn't seen it. He would've caused a huge scene by now. I wondered if he was highborn too. He definitely wouldn't let it go if he was. He'd have started raining insults on me like most of them did and no way would he let me go without cal

Ever's POV:I stood still, trying to process whether I'd heard her right. “Why, I don't really understand what you mean Luna” I finally managed to ask as the air around me began to feel hotter.She sat down on one of the stones beside a tree and tapped the one beside her, gesturing to me to join her. I didn't even notice I had been fidgeting the whole time. I instantly dropped my fingers and joined her.“I have them too” She began, staring out into the garden as I stared at her, surprised. She looked at me, smiling.“I don't know why I'm telling you this but it feels like you might understand them better than anyone I know” she said, trustingly.Was she opening up to me? Of all people? I cursed beneath my breath as she continued.“I've had dreams of him since the first time we met but couldn't really understand them” She began. Who was she talking about? Hagan? Or someone else, I thought to myself.“But he never seemed interested in me for some reason” She looked down, averting her g

Zeke's POV “You know you could have gotten us in trouble today” Abe told me as we headed back towards the lake's path.“But I didn't” I Shrugged.“But Alpha, you can't keep acting this way. The elders are bound to hear about this eventually and it won't end well” Abe wore his usual worried look. I dropped the cloak's mask I was wearing and he dropped his too.“I didn't make you my Beta so you could spend all day whining about me licking the elders' feet” I told him, stretching as I pulled off my cloak too.“We shouldn't have come here,” he said again.“You didn't seem to think that when you were laughing your head off with you-know-who.” I eyed him and he coughed, almost choking in utter embarrassment.“I was gathering information” He tried to explain, sweat breaking from the corner of his forehead. “And her name is Kia” He murmured, turning his face away.“Of course you were” I laughed. “ I can imagine how helpful the information you got when you were lost in her eyes would help u
