CHAPTER 12

ERIC’S POV

I didn’t know what came over me. But I couldn’t just stand there and watch him hurt her. I hated seeing her hurt. I hated seeing her cry. I hated seeing her in pain. So I intervened.

My hand moved on its own to hold Nolan’s wrist, stopping him from digging her face into the bowl of mashed potatoes for the third time. I mean, who the fuck does that? Who on earth punishes someone like that just because they refused to eat? Who on earth tortures or punishes people the way he does? No human being should be allowed to experience that amount of pain.

My fingers curled tightly around his wrist, my grip firm and brute as if to squash his wrist bones. A dark cloud of anger overshadowed me. One I haven’t felt before. Not even in all that time I used to fight at the Blood Pit.

I felt something beastly take control over me. More than anything, I wanted to haul him across the room and smash his head against the wall till his brains spilled out. I could do it because

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   The Confrontation

    CHAPTER 81ADRIANNA’S POV“Eric…” Her voice wavered somewhat emotionally as she called my name, before reaching out and pulling me into an unexpected hug.But I didn’t hug her back. I just stood there, barely moving, reeling in the shock of seeing her and the painful sting of betrayal that seared my heart. It was clear she was my mother. I didn’t quite expect this to be the first thing she would do on seeing her long-lost son. The son she dumped like garbage and forgot about. She hugged me like I hadn’t been away for ages, like she’d known me forever.When she pulled away from the hug, she stepped back, settling in her initial position. She cleared her throat slightly and tried to regain her composure. The sight of me and that hug had probably stirred emotions.“You look well,” she said. Was she expecting me not to?“Thank goodness you made it safe and sound. Where is your luggage?” She asked, her eyes flicking to my sides, scanning around before they fell on Simon. “Did you forget

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   The Arrival

    CHAPTER 80 ERIC’S POV It was a dark sedan, discreet, not so showy or flashy as to attract much attention. It also had tinted windows, so you couldn’t see who was inside. I liked it that way. It wouldn’t draw the wrong kind of eyes, and no one would notice Adrianna and me were inside on our way. We went outside. As we did, I took Adrianna’s hand in mine, holding tightly as though if I let go I might end up losing her forever, trying to fight back the anxiety churning in my gut. She looked up at me and smiled, the look on her crystal blue eyes soft and reassuring. The driver was a tall, middle-aged man dressed in a simple black suit. He had a kind face, his smile quick and easy as he tipped his cap in greeting. He introduced himself as Simon, the Blackwell family’s chauffeur, and helped pack the few things we brought with us into the car. “Thank you for everything,” I heard Adrianna say to Coach Steele, her voice filled with genuine gratitude. “Honestly… I can’t thank you enough.

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   Leaving

    CHAPTER 79ERIC’S POVAll that time I worked for Nolan, I developed a deep-rooted hatred for him, Hermes, and everyone of them seeing the disgusting things they did. I hated that there was anything like Alpha Kings, I hated that they had an association, an alliance where they did all the bad things together. I hated that they got away with everything they did. I hated that no one dared to raise a brow over it. I hated everything they stood for, everything about them, and wished to be the one to take them down someday.But now, I’m about to take up that position, about to become the very thing I swore to destroy. Tell me, what does that make me? A hypocrite? A monster in the making?Heavens know that I didn’t want to do this. If Adrianna hadn’t convinced me, I would have never agreed to do it. I’m doing this for her sake, for the sake of those around me. If going to that kingdom and meeting the strangers who call themselves my parents will ease the terror in her heart… If stepping into

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   Our last night

    CHAPTER 78ADRIANNA’S POVI let my hand down from his shoulder, blowing out a breath as I rolled my eyes in exhaustion. I growled internally, trying to summon every ounce of patience I had left. I never knew him to be this stubborn and it was starting to stress me out. Today was one of the most hectic for me, for us, and no doubt tomorrow will be just as demanding. Coach Steele had mentioned that a ride would be made available first thing tomorrow morning to take us. With how distant he mentioned the kingdom was, it could take us hours if not days to arrive at our destination. The least we could do now is have a sound sleep to be better prepared for tomorrow.“You’ve known Coach Steele longer than I have. Do you really think he’s capable of keeping something that important from you if he knew about it?” I asked but Eric didn’t answer. The question made him uncomfortable as he looked away, his jaw twitching as silence settled between us, heavy with everything he didn’t want to admit.

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   A Scare

    CHAPTER 77ADRIANNA’S POVEric stood in front of the room's open window, his hands on both sides of the frame, about to jump. “Eric…!” His name burst from my chest as I rushed to him.I snaked my arms around his waist, wrapping him up tightly and burying my face into his back. But my small frame wasn’t enough to hold him back. He could still jump if he wanted to. But then, he will be pulling me along. That way, we can die together because there was no way I’d let him do this, leaving me all alone when we hadn’t even achieved a quarter of everything we dreamed of together. Fulfilled all the promises we made to each other.“Please don’t do it…” I pleaded as tears welled up in my eyes. “I’ll be by your side every step of the way. You’re never going to be alone in all of this. If you don’t have anything else, anyone else to hold onto, you’ve got me, love. So please, don’t do this…”“What are you talking about, Ad?” He asked, sounding puzzled as he turned to face me. “Do what?…”Wiping my

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   The Only Way Out

    CHAPTER 76ADRIANNA’S POVCoach Steele’s sudden revelation about Eric’s birth and true identity caught me off guard. I was stunned beyond my wildest imagination. Never in a thousand years would I have thought Eric to be someone of royal blood.The thought of it unsettled me deeply because I was afraid that if Eric accepted and took up that position, he might turn out like Hermes, Nolan, and the rest. He’ll be no different from those monsters who ruined me. But after Coach Steele made that last statement, I found myself hesitating, torn between my fear and desperate hope for what seemed like our only route to survival.Can his acceptance into the world of royalty really save us from this dangerous situation we’re in? Save us from The Association? We’re finally going to stop running and hiding like prey being hunted.After abandoning him for thirty years, they suddenly appeared out of nowhere—not even in person—demanding he return and claim a kingship he knew absolutely nothing about.
