The Alpha's Hidden Heir Chapter 31
ERINThe howl faded into silence, but neither of us moved. Jake sat rigid beside me, his breath coming shallow and fast, his eyes fixed on the darkening horizon like he could see his father standing there. The confession hung between us, raw and unfinished, and I understood with sudden, painful clarity that he'd only told me part of the truth. There was more. There was always more. But for the first time since discovering my own tangled heritage, I recognized the weight of secrets carried too long alone.I didn't push. I didn't demand explanations or timelines or promises that everything would be okay. Instead, I shifted closer until our shoulders touched, let my warmth seep into his cold skin, and waited. The way I wished someone had waited for me all those years I'd hidden behind Beth's lies, terrified that the truth would destroy the fragile life I'd built."I left when I was nineteen," Jake said finally. His voice sounded scraped raw, like the words had been locked behind his teet
The Alpha's Hidden Heir Chapter 30
ERINThe silence in the medical wing lasted exactly thirty-seven seconds before it shattered. Connor arrived first, his face tight with the same expression he'd worn at the massacre site—controlled fear barely contained behind Alpha authority. Maya followed, clutching files I recognized as Moonblood research. Then Marty, hovering at the doorway like he wasn't sure he had the right to be there but couldn't make himself leave. They'd all heard. Word traveled fast in a pack under lockdown, faster when the news involved their pregnant Moonblood heir experiencing symptoms no one could explain.Nadia repeated her findings three times, using smaller words each time as if that would make them easier to accept. My wolf was awakening. Not the gradual emergence most shifters experienced through adolescence, but a sudden, violent blooming of power that had been suppressed for two decades. The cramping wasn't danger—it was transformation. My body was preparing for something unprecedented, somethin
The Alpha's Hidden Heir Chapter 29
ERINMarty stood in the center of the pack house common room like a man watching his own execution approach in slow motion. The lockdown had trapped him here, surrounded by wolves who remembered what he'd done, cut off from the pack he'd tried to rebuild from ashes of guilt. His phone buzzed constantly—messages from Crescent Moon wolves demanding answers, demanding their Alpha return. But Connor's orders were absolute. No one in. No one out. And Marty was caught in the middle, watching his second chance crumble while five bodies cooled in a clearing two miles away.I shouldn't have felt anything watching him suffer. This was the man who'd abandoned me, who'd chosen cowardice over fatherhood, who'd let me grow up believing I was worthless and unwanted. But something had shifted in me since learning the truth about my bloodline, about the massacre, about all the ways our lives had been shaped by forces neither of us understood. Marty hadn't just failed me—he'd been failing himself for t
The Alpha's Hidden Heir Chapter 28
ERINMy mother's voice on that recording played in my head on a loop, even as Jake pulled me toward the door. The sound shouldn't have been possible. Elena died twenty years ago, her body burned along with the rest of my pack, her voice silenced before I was old enough to remember it clearly. Yet there it was, captured on a dying patrol leader's phone, woven beneath a sound that made my wolf want to crawl out of my skin and run until we reached the edge of the world. Something was very wrong. Not just wrong—impossible. And I needed to see it for myself, needed to stand where those wolves died and understand what was hunting us now."You're not going anywhere near that scene," Jake said, his hand firm on my arm. "Whatever killed them could still be out there.""Then it'll find me eventually anyway. At least this way I'll know what I'm facing." I pulled free, met his eyes with the steel that had been building inside me since the day I learned who I really was. "I'm done being protected
The Alpha's Hidden Heir Chapter 27
ERINThe name Elena echoed in my skull long after I woke, like a bell that wouldn't stop ringing. My mother's voice had felt so real, so close, that I kept reaching for it even as morning light burned through my curtains. Jake slept in the chair by my door, his head tilted at an angle that would hurt later. He'd stayed all night, watching over me like I might shatter. Maybe I would.I touched my stomach, felt the flutter there that had become familiar these past weeks. The baby was awake too, restless, as if she'd heard her grandmother calling from wherever the dead go when they still have things to say. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, no longer caged, no longer silent. She remembered things I didn't. She grieved for people I'd never known. And somewhere in the space between her memories and mine, my mother waited with secrets I wasn't sure I was ready to hear. The dream had felt different from normal sleep. More like a door opening than a story my mind invented. More like a visitati
The Alpha's Hidden Heir Chapter 26
ERINThe pack house erupted in chaos the moment I walked through the shattered doors. My wolf's emergence had transformed everything—my senses, my strength, my very presence in the room. Wolves who'd ignored me for years now cowered. David stood at the podium, his scent finally unmasked: smoke, rain, and underneath it all, the metallic tang of old blood."The Moonblood heir," someone whispered. Then louder: "She has a wolf!"David's face remained calm, but his heartbeat betrayed him. I could hear it racing, smell his fear seeping through expensive cologne. Twenty years of hiding, and I'd exposed him just by walking in."You can't be here," he said smoothly. "This is pack business. You're not—""Not pack?" I stepped forward, glass crunching under my feet. "I was born pack. Moonblood pack. Until someone murdered my parents while I slept in the next room."The crowd shifted, uncertain. Half had voted for David moments ago. The other half waited for someone, anyone, to take charge. Jake p
