Semua Bab Awakening Of The Hidden Alpha Heiress: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter 20 FREYA'S POV “Because he is your husband, Freya. He deserves to know if you’re being threatened by someone. Whatever he chooses to do is left for him to decide.” She sighed. My heart wrenched a little in guilt. I didn't have to snap at her like that, she was only looking out for me. I let out a deep sigh, letting her words sink in. “You have to tell him.” She urged. "Alright. Alright, I was going to tell him anyway." I whispered, too exhausted to protest. "Tonight." "Yes, Aurora," I said. "Tonight." It took me about an hour to finally pick up my phone and give Caelan a call. I knew I was being unreasonable; calling Caelan to tell him about my day, shouldn’t even be a problem. But for some reason, it felt weird. I wasn't used to this kind of attention. Rowan had never been a shoulder for me to cry on. Never even gave me a listening ear, when I needed someone to talk. So I learnt to be independent. I wanted to fight every battle myself, just like the wor

Chapter 22 Freya We had a lot of free days to prepare for the next assessments so I spent most of the time studying in my room, hanging out with Aurora or holding more study sessions. I was still weary of Selene so I made sure to avoid her at all costs, at least until the next assessments. Caelan started visiting a lot, too often for the “I was just passing by” excuse he kept using. I knew for a fact that he was never just passing by and I wasn’t complaining. I enjoyed his company so much that I started to look forward to his visits. Watching him sit on my bed and ramble on about a meeting he had was the highlight of my evening. “Everyone was against me today,” he whispered, running his fingers through my hair as my head rested on his lap. “These men dwell on what past leaders did, forgetting that times have changed,” he explained. I had no idea what he was talking about. I was too lost in the little fantasy we’d created to care. “What was the meeting about anyway?” I asked

CHAPTER 24 FREYA'S POV The way he said ‘to me’ was not aggressive. It wasn't loud. It was simply the tone of a man stating a fact that he considered non-negotiable and was mildly surprised needed to be stated at all. Kieran looked between us once, and I saw the moment he figured out what was between me and Caelan. "My apologies. Congratulations to you both." He tilted his head gracefully and moved away into the crowd without another word, choosing a direction that put a significant number of people between himself and Caelan. I turned to look at my husband. He watched Kieran go for a moment longer than necessary. Then he looked at me, and his expression shifted — the edge still there, but something else underneath it now. I pressed my lips together very hard. "Are you trying not to laugh?" he said. "Absolutely not," I said, but burst out laughing anyways. Something crossed his face that was almost embarrassment, which was so unlike him that it made me laugh again. "You kno

Caelan POVThe night was still young except for her soft whispering breaths, ringing through the night. I lay in the bed, next to Freya, my gaze fixed on her calm face. She was too beautiful, a wonder to behold and her aura was undeniable. I could not stop thinking of how strongly I felt for her. The attachment that I could not hold back. The undeniable crush, the pull to her personality. “Freya…” her name escaped my lips before I could hold back and I felt my heart pang in a familiar way. She shifted in the bed as though she heard her name, some strands of her silky hair falling on her full lips but fell back asleep, as quickly as she'd stirred. I felt my chest tighten as I quickly remembered how she'd halted our intimate moment earlier. I knew what it was. Maybe she didn't say the exact words but I knew it was heartbreak. I knew the signs of a recovering woman. She was battling with the rejection from that fool, Rowan made her experience. The thought of his name and all th

CHAPTER 28Freya POVIt didn't end there. No. Their observations were more than I was willing to listen to or take in but I found myself compelled to hear it all. I wanted to make an excuse for him. It felt awkward sitting there and saying nothing. “Maybe he doesn't want to be known. Maybe he is genuinely keeping his identity away like I once did when I was with Rowan. As a matter of fact, I still do. That doesn't make him a bad person.”Mother shook her head. Iris let out a sudden spat of her hands to get my attention in the very silent room. I felt edgy in my seat with their piercing gazes on me. “I don't think it's the same as your case, Sister. There's definitely something shady about his own secret identity.”“You're right as always, Iris. Only that Freya may be too attached to him to notice it.”It felt like a gang up. Mother didn't stop. Her expression gradually became unreadable. It was impossible to discern any emotion behind her deadpan gaze. She confronted me with s
