Hagan's POV

“How's the building coming along?” Elder Owen asked from across his council seat.

“We should be done in a month or two,” Roy, my beta, replied.

“And after storage, it'll be enough to cover the whole dry season and the seasons when planting becomes difficult,” Abe added.

“It's a pleasure to have had your support in this, Alpha Zeke,” Elder Owen expressed to Zeke, who looked like he had barely been listening through the whole meeting.

“Alpha Zeke, it was an honor working with you,” he

    Hagan's POV“How's the building coming along?” Elder Owen asked from across his council seat.“We should be done in a month or two,” Roy, my beta, replied.“And after storage, it'll be enough to cover the whole dry season and the seasons when planting becomes difficult,” Abe added.“It's a pleasure to have had your support in this, Alpha Zeke,” Elder Owen expressed to Zeke, who looked like he had barely been listening through the whole meeting.“Alpha Zeke, it was an honor working with you,” he tried again.Zeke's attention was completely drawn to something outside the window. All eyes turned to him, puzzled by his silence.“Alpha Zeke!” Abe nudged him.“Right. Yes.” He snapped back to the meeting. “Abe is right.”Abe facepalmed, failing to hide how fed up he was with Zeke. The more time I spent working with him, the more I wondered if he even considered this an alliance or just something he used to pass the time.“Elder Owen here, Alpha, was thanking you for the kind support you've g

  • Once The Alpha's Little Secret, Now His Greatest Regret    Chapter 43 - Chaos in the Market

    Ever's POVI clutched my veil tightly, turning my face away in an attempt to avoid his gaze.“I...I'm not hungry, so just get yours, and I'll wait there for you,” I whispered behind Rhaeya in an attempt to flee.“What? Why?” She held me back. Please no. “You don't like the buns?” she asked, concern etched across her gaze.Rhaeya, please not now.“Should I get you girls the buns? Is there a problem?” the merchant's voice reached us again, and I stiffened.“What? Is there something wrong? Something you spotted? I thought you wanted to get one too,” Rhaeya persisted, and I just wished the ground could open up to swallow me.“Hello? Girls?” he called again. Rhaeya turned this time.“So sorry for the delay, sir. We would like to get one bun,” she replied.I clung tighter to my veil, turning away entirely.“Your friend, is she shy?” he asked.He noticed me?Oh Goddess, I was so done for. What if he recognized me and talked about Zeke, and then Rhaeya started asking questions? And everything

  • Once The Alpha's Little Secret, Now His Greatest Regret    Chapter 42: A Market Adventure I

    Ever's POVI turned to see one of the guards, eyebrows furrowed, standing still as his eyes raked over us. Our outfits, our veils, and our pale faces all together. Rhaeya and I exchanged panicked glances, not knowing how to bail ourselves out.“Are... Are you going somewhere, Luna?” he asked.Rhaeya and I adjusted our veils, still unable to reply.“You look different today. Do you need Alpha Hagan? Should I go call him?”“No!” Rhaeya and I screamed in unison.“I'm fine, Eric. You don't need to involve Hagan,” Rhaeya assured him, pulling off her veil. “As a matter of fact...” she said, inching closer, her gaze now more serious. “Hagan should hear no word of this,” she stated, waiting for a response from him, to which he nodded, swallowing hard.“Yes, Luna,” he replied, lowering his gaze.I was amazed at the impact Rhaeya had even on the royal guards. She even knew all their names in such a short period. I, on the other hand, barely knew the names of the Omegas I was currently working w

  • Once The Alpha's Little Secret, Now His Greatest Regret    Chapter 41: Under disguise

    Ever's POVMy eyes raked over the outfit from head to toe in utter disbelief. Her blonde hair was also let down and unstyled, and I noticed she'd stripped herself of all jewelry.“Luna, why?...”“You must be surprised, right?” she beamed, like she'd accomplished something important. “Do you think this look could pass for an Omega? I just grabbed the closest hand-me-down I could get.” She let out a laugh, still puzzling me.“But why?” I asked her. “Is there somewhere you're going?”She turned and headed for the mirror, straightening her hair with the brush as she sat.“Did anyone see you come in?” she asked.“No,” I replied.“Anyone outside?” she followed with another question.“No. Is there something wrong?” I asked, brows raised. Her facial expressions were hard to read. I didn't know what to make of...this. My eyes scanned her outfit once again.“You know...” Rhaeya's voice cut through, still brushing her hair as she turned to me. “Since my arrival here, I've never gone past the Pac

  • Once The Alpha's Little Secret, Now His Greatest Regret    Chapter 40: Without You

    Ever's POV My eyes shone as I jumped at her in excitement, partially wrapping her in a warm hug as I cautiously held the dishes. We both stilled, melting into the warmth of our embrace, like we could stay here forever and time could just keep going. I missed her so much. Her warmth, her scent. That smile that told me she definitely had a lot of gossip to share, I chuckled. We eventually broke free and I just stared at her, smiling. “What's it been now, years since we last saw?” she asked, teasing. “Even decades,” I said, and we both laughed. But it wasn't a lie, though. It felt like decades since we last saw. “Yes. As I was saying,” she pouted, crossing her arms. “You forgot all about me. Didn't even bother to come to the ranch.” She glared at me. I sighed, not knowing how to explain to her the twists and turns my life had officially taken. “I'm sorry,” I said, tugging at her arm as I made a face to ease her. She side-eyed me for a while, then eventually gave in. “Well,

    Ever's POV:“He doesn't seem very... happy,” Zeke smiled at Rhaeya after Hagan stormed out. “Did I say something wrong?” he questioned sinisterly. “Or maybe...” His gaze turned to me, and I lowered my scrutinized eyes. “...I offended someone important to him?” he said, and a lump formed in my throat. Rhaeya's gaze turned to me.“We're highly honoured to have you at this breakfast, Alpha Zeke,” she said, her voice unusually filled with gloom. “But this is a breakfast table, not the right time to discuss politics and Pack affairs,” she said, and he smiled again.“Well...” he said, raising both hands in surrender. “You have my apology for that... Luna,” he offered.“Forgive our Alpha. He has the tendency to be bursting with ideas at rather unpleasant moments and not when he's actually called upon to give them,” Abe apologized, his eyes shooting daggers at Zeke.“I always knew you were a meathead, brother. I'm not surprised,” Aya said, happily chewing down her food.My gaze moved towards
