The Alpha and His Hidden Omega Chapter Twenty One
Kian’s POVThe screen of my phone burned bright between us, the blurry snapshot of River leaning against the theatre studio brick wall staring back like a warning carved into pixels. River’s jaw set hard, his warm woody alpha scent shifting instantly into something sharp, guarded, and borderline territorial — the same protective edge I’d seen surface back during the hallway altercation. Only it is much thicker, heavier, rolling over me in slow, deliberate waves. I tucked my phone tight against my chest, half‑tempted to delete the message before it could burrow any deeper into my thoughts, but I knew we would need it as proof later.River stepped back just enough to pull out his own phone, his thumb flying across the screen as he dialled Hunter without hesitation. His voice was steady, but the tight, clipped cadence gave away how worried he truly was. “We’ve got a problem. They sent Kian an anonymous threat with a photo of me waiting outside his theatre class. Round up the pack, and yo
The Alpha and His Hidden Omega Chapter Twenty
Kian’s POVA quiet, playful murmur rippled through my group of theatre classmates, soft enough that only those standing close could catch it, and I could feel my cheeks burning hot under River’s unwavering gaze. I gave my classmates a quick, flustered half‑wave, silently begging them to leave me to this awkward, charged moment. And thankfully, they showed me mercy as one by one they grinned, waved back, and drifted away. Although, with them snickering quietly as they headed toward the main campus path. Within thirty seconds, it was just the two of us, standing a few feet apart against the sun‑faded brick wall of the theatre studio.I gripped the strap of my backpack tight enough that my knuckles whitened, forcing out a shaky, confused laugh to mask my rising panic. “River! Uh — what are you doing here? I thought you had clinical rounds all afternoon with the rest of your pack, aren’t you supposed to be stuck in the hospital wing right now?”River pushed off the wall and took one slow,
The Alpha and His Hidden Omega Chapter Nineteen
Kian’s POVThe late‑afternoon sun slanted soft, honey‑gold through the oak trees lining the art department walkway, gilding the edges of paint‑splattered easels stacked outside the sculpture studio, and catching flecks of dried clay scattered across the pavement. I’d lingered by the department’s outdoor water fountain for an extra two minutes, double‑checking my backpack for my annotated script and the hand‑drawn character reference sketches I needed for today’s Performing Arts and Theatre first ever seminar, when a flicker of movement against the studio’s rough stone wall snagged my attention.My shoulders tensed on instinct, the faint, familiar prickle of unease skittering down my spine before I could name why.Oh no. This cannot be happening right now.Leaning there, one shoulder propped casually against the wall, was a tall, sharp‑faced alpha in a crisp, tailored blazer. He is obviously not from our department. The man was far too sleek. His aura and clothing were so out‑of‑place
The Alpha and His Hidden Omega Chapter Eighteen
River's POVThe question hung in the air, sharp and sudden, cutting through the tension in the room.Zane closed his journal, looking between us — at Hunter’s furrowed brow, at Jax’s indignant expression, and finally at me — standing by the window, my jaw set, my mind already racing three steps ahead.Caleb’s gaze settled on me, his eyes narrowing just slightly.“Kian is your childhood friend, isn’t he? That explains Kian. But this…” He gestured vaguely at all of us. “This level of concern, this readiness to go up against families that could ruin all of us in a heartbeat… it’s not just about doing the right thing, is it?”Silence stretched out, thick and loaded.Caleb’s eyes went from me to Hunter, then back to me again. And slowly, a look of quiet realization dawned on his face.“Someone better tell me the whole truth,” he said, his voice calm but leaving absolutely no room for evasion. “Right now.”Hunter whipped his head in my direction and smirked, “So? Will thy alpha of ours be h
The Alpha and His Hidden Omega Chapter Seventeen
River’s POV It is exactly two days after that incident with those bastards. The moment Hunter was back at the condo, he sent a quick message to his assistant to go run and find out who those three are. I stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows in his room, staring out at the city lights flickering to life below, arms crossed tight over my chest. My jaw ached — I realized I’d been clenching my teeth for the better part of an hour. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it again: Kian standing there, small and quiet and trying so hard not to tremble, while those three alphas loomed over that poor omega friend of Kian’s like vultures. And Kian had been right there. Too close. Too exposed..Hunter leaned back against the edge of his desk, watching me with an amused glint in his eyes that was starting to get on my last nerve.“You’ve been pacing back and forth across my rug for twenty minutes, Riv,” he said, crossing his arms. “What is up with you man? You’re more tightly wound than when we pul
The Alpha and His Hidden Omega Chapter Sixteen
Kian’s POVI laughed softly, rubbing the back of my neck, feeling a little sheepish at his dramatic reaction. “Whoa, calm down. It’s not that big of a deal. We were just neighbors, that’s all. Our families lived next door to each other for years, so naturally we’d see each other around. We weren’t… like best friends or anything.” My voice softened a little. “Actually, my alpha sister was the one who was lowkey close to River. They were practically inseparable growing up — always studying together, or training together, or hanging out on our front porch talking for hours. I was just the little kid who lived next door, you know? I’d sometimes sit with them and listen in, but… River and I were never really close, not like that. Just polite. Neighbors who said hello in the hallway and helped each other pick up mail when someone was away.”I looked down at my hands, smiling faintly at the memory. “My sister was amazing, though. She never treated me differently, not even when… well, not eve
