All Chapters of The Alpha's Real Heir: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Ace is still missing, and here you are, with an appetite for a drink.” I heard him, but stayed quiet. I wasn’t in the mood for chit-chat. Today was overwhelming. I was tired. But I couldn’t sleep because of the Ace situation. The whole house was noisy. Alpha said, “I saw Ace this morning. He was excited about the coronation. What could’ve happened to him?” He was staring at me. I shrugged. “How is that my business? Whether he’s missing or not is none of my business.” My tone was harsh. Ace is missing, so I can’t drink water anymore? “Don’t lie to me, Miranda,” Alpha said, serious. “Ace would never go missing as long as you’re here. Unless it has something to do with you.” I frowned, confused. “What do you mean by that?” “Where is Ace?” he asked again. “I don’t know.” He nodded, then headed for the door. He was leaving. I stopped him. “Aren’t you going to explain what you meant?” He turned. “I don’t know what I was saying. Just fo

“Ace, where are you?” I asked, pressing receive. No reply. Loud music in the background. “Ace! Ace!” I called. “Ace, Alpha, your mom, everyone is worried about you. Where the heck are you?” Impatient. Still no reply. But the call was still connected. _Beep._ A message. “Come to this address. I just sent it.” Then he hung up. I checked my phone. An address. Close to where the humans live. Maybe even in their territory. I frowned. “What was he doing there when the whole pack was worried?” I asked no one. I was about to report to Alpha when another message came. “Don’t tell anyone.” I stared at it, frowning. But I listened. I didn’t tell anyone. I took my bike and went to the location. When I got there, it was a bar. 90% of the people were humans. I went to reception and asked for Ace. He was in a VIP room. I was directed there. What I saw shocked me. On Ace’s table: 12 bottles. Maybe more. He just turned 18 today. And he was dr

“What happened yesterday, Ace?” Alpha asked in a serious tone. I couldn’t reply. I was thinking of an answer. What was I supposed to tell him? That I found out Miranda is my mate? No. I can’t. I have to talk to my mom first. “Nothing happened, Dad,” I said. He smiled slightly. “What happened to you then? Why weren’t you at the coronation? Why did you go to a bar and get drunk? Do you even know how you got home yesterday?” His last question got me thinking. I didn’t know how I got home. But it had to be Josh. “Ace!” Alpha called, pulling me from my thoughts. “Dad... I... I found my mate yesterday. And I have a problem with her about what happened.” Berry gave me the idea. It was stupid. But I hoped it worked. “You found your mate already?” he asked. I nodded. “Did she reject you?” “No... I mean...” I scratched my head. “I don’t think I want to talk about it, Dad.” To my surprise, he nodded. “But next time, don’t be so reckless. Remember,

“Mum.” I was already in tears. “Shh.” She put a finger to her lips. “The only person who helped me was an old woman. Sent by the Moon Goddess. I don’t know what an old woman was doing in that heavy rain that day. All I knew was she was the reason we’re still alive. She took me in. Me and my newborn. You. She didn’t have family. So it was easy for us to live with her. Every day since you were born, I did everything to give you what you needed. Shelter. Food. Clothes. Later, the old woman died. Her distant relatives came to claim her body. And her properties. Including the house we lived in. The old lady had a gold chain. I took it. I know it was wrong. But that was the only way we could survive. I sold the chain. Used the money to start a new life. I suffered, Ace. So much. Do you know how many times I thought of dumping you at an orphanage? But I didn’t. I couldn’t. I love you too much. I didn’t want your life ruine

Alpha Brian Pov I was in the study, going through files, when Rose came to me. She came to ask who Miranda’s father was. I was baffled by the question. What gave her the right? The way she asked it got me wondering what made her think that. Although I knew Miranda wasn’t my daughter... I didn’t understand what she knew. Apart from the Queen Mother, Penelope, and me... no one else knew. I didn’t understand where she got the information. But she was persistent. I told her Miranda was my daughter. She didn’t buy it. She was so sure Miranda wasn’t mine. Then later she said, “Maybe Penelope cheated on you.” And that was true. But I wasn’t going to agree. I asked where she got the information. That’s when she told me: Ace’s mate happened to be Miranda. My heart sank. I never wanted anyone to find out Miranda wasn’t my daughter. But the Moon Goddess had her own plans. If Miranda is Ace’s mate... that means Miranda is bound to be the future L
