CHAPTER 33

ERIC’S POV

Most of the maids were done with their duties for the day and had retired back to their quarters, the ones coming from outside the castle also returning to their respective destinations. As Alpha Nolan’s head bodyguard and the castle’s chief of security, I relieved the other guards of their duties for the night since I had the right to do that. And they were grateful, not suspecting anything.

With Alpha Nolan gone, there wasn't much to do in the castle. The other guards were at the bar drinking and being loud about some random, insignificant stuff I had no interest in.

I left them, lying that I was tired and needed to retire to my chamber for sleep. They taunted me, saying a man of my caliber shouldn’t go off to bed so early at night like a princess. But I didn’t care. I didn’t mind. Definitely not today or…. ever. They didn’t know that was the last time they'd seen me.

I wondered if they’ll miss me or hate me when I’m gone after they realize that I bet

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   The Real Truth

    CHAPTER 54ADRIANNA’S POV“He’s like a son,” Coach Steele said, regaining his composure in the blink of an eye as he lifted his gaze back to me. “I don’t mind giving him the world if I had it…”“Don’t you think you’ve said enough, old geezer?” Eric cut in, his voice tinged with forced nonchalance as he handed him the glass of water. His expression gave him away—awkwardly defensive, like he was more worried about cringeworthy feelings or more details that I needed to know spilling out if Coach Steele continued.“Pretty sure I didn’t even say more than three sentences,” Coach Steele said innocently as he accepted the glass of water.Eric ignored the remark and went ahead to ask, “Anything else I can get you?”Eric looked at him with a knowing look, the kind that said he already knew the answer to his question but was trying to be polite, just asking out of necessity.Quickly, Coach Steele sipped the water halfway and let out a satisfying breath, which showed he was really thirsty before

    CHAPTER 53ADRIANNA’S POV“Holy fuck Eric!” The man blurted out under heavy breath as he glanced at Eric, me, the broken glass pieces on the floor, and back at Eric. “You want to kill me?…”Eric retrieved his hands and let them down, a look of relief washing over him.“Relax,” Eric said as he went around and quickly looked at other parts of the house to make sure there was no one else in the house. “It’s just a stick… and besides, the former you would have seen it coming and done something to stop it…”“As you said, the former me,” he pointed out with a hint of exasperation. “I’m retired and getting to my late fifties. You seriously can’t expect my senses and reflexes to be as sharp as they were in my thirties and early forties. Not only did you scare the shit out of me, you also made me spill the water I was about to drink.”Exhaustively, Eric rolled his eyes and sighed. “I’ll get you another one and clean the mess up. You don’t have to worry about it. So… what brings you here? Why d

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   A Stranger In The House

    CHAPTER 52ADRIANNA’S POVAs I followed closely behind him, we walked in silence so sharp, it cut through me, making my insides bleed. My mind raced with different thoughts. Conflicting thoughts that threatened to wreck me apart.I wanted to tell him how sorry I was. I wanted to lie to him that I wasn’t trying to escape. That was the real reason I left: to go get that hidden money from my father’s house, and after that, return to the house. I wanted to tell him that Alpha Nolan was dead, and our pictures were flying around the kingdom because they thought we were responsible for it—a puzzle I couldn’t piece together no matter how hard I tried.Maybe he knew from how he reacted—so unbothered when those guys recognized him as the person in the picture and said he'd be coming with them. He wasn’t home almost throughout yesterday, so there was a possibility he was aware of it. But if he was then why didn’t he tell me about it? I wanted to know how Nolan died, who did it, and how on earth

    CHAPTER 51 ERIC’S POV “Who is the one smirking now?” I said with a smug grin spreading across my face as I looked down on him. Glancing up, I could see the other one had retreated, screaming for help as he ran for his life out onto the road like he had encountered a hideous monster. I wanted to chase after him and catch him. I wanted them to individually pay for what they did to Adrianna. But time wasn’t on our side; we needed to make it back to the house in the next minute. Nonetheless, I had marked his face, engraved it like a scar in my head. One day, we will cross paths, and that day, I’ll make sure he suffers a fate far worse than what I was doing to his colleague. “Your friend left you,” I said, returning my gaze to the trembling wreck on the ground. “How noble of him.” My voice dripped with sarcasm. “He ran before I could get my hands on him… which means, lucky you—you’ll get to fill in for him and take his share of the pain.” “Please…” he pleaded, pitifully, drag

    CHAPTER 50ERIC’S POV“Eric be careful…” Adrianna blurted out on seeing the weapon.I stopped in my tracks, but the raging expression in me was still there, deepening and becoming more intense with each passing moment.“Easy there tough guy,” Kanute said with a smug smile, the giggling noises from his fellow only making him double his effort, making him feel mighty and untouchable. “Take another step forward and I swear, I’ll blow your brains to a fucking pulp,” he said it like he meant it. “Now, get on the floor and put your hands over your head. We’re taking you with us.”“You said it like a fucking cop,” his fellow nudged him playfully and they giggled in unison, their faces lit with juvenile delight—smiles that only pissed me off more. This seemed like a fucking game to them, and they were enjoying it to the point of lunacy, like two kids high on chaos and too far gone to realize they were poking a beast.Normally, when people see me like this, they’re enveloped with a bone-deep f

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   Found her

    CHAPTER 49 ERIC’S POV I nearly lost hope, thinking I had lost her forever. Now out of the long hidden pathway that led out of the house, I couldn’t see her. There was no sign of her on the narrow roads, corners, or anywhere. She might have left this part of the kingdom already. The thought of that made panic curl around my spine like a serpent. ‘No…’ I tried to convince myself otherwise, holding onto the hope I knew I didn’t have. She didn’t know her way around this area so navigation will be quite difficult, slowing her down. I can still find her. I know I will. I just hope it’s not too late. It was still early in the morning—too early for the streets to be crowded. That worked in my favor. With fewer eyes around, the risk of someone recognizing me was low. I had left the house in a rush, without a hoodie, cap, or anything to conceal my identity. If anyone had seen that photo of us circulating across the kingdom, recognizing me would be as easy as solving a kid’s puzzle. Adr
