Once The Alpha's Little Secret, Now His Greatest Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Ever's POV “Back to work, you lazy lot!” Matron Agnes snapped. “I knew it. Three rations a day and now you're all fat and lazy.” “Shoo, shoo, to work!” she called as she shooed another set of Omegas, who ran off in giggles. “And don't make me repeat myself!” she yelled after them. “The Alpha has returned, and I want this place looking decent before he gets here. If he sees even one dirty window, we're all finished.” My hands froze against the window I was cleaning. The Alpha had returned? “Did you hear?” whispers and giggles from the other Omegas reached me. “Alpha Hagan's back.” The cloth slipped from my fingers. He was back. A mix of panic and excitement hit me as I stood up in anticipation, amidst the busyness of the pack house. It'd been a month since he left for Moonstorm. And he'd left me without a word as to how long this stay was going to take. Yes, this wasn't the longest we've been apart, but I couldn't contain the bursts of excitement I felt this past month waitin

Ever's POV Reluctantly, I stood up. The others helped her get dressed while I headed towards the door anxiously. I bit my lower lip, not knowing how to act as I got closer to the door. My heart raced frantically against my chest as I pulled the handle, revealing him standing there. A mix of emotions swept through me. I wanted to scream at him, hug him, kick him all at the same time, but I forced myself into composure. His eyes rested on mine for a while. They held a mix of emotions too. Only that I couldn't properly name them. Without a word, he slid a note into my hand. “Hagan?” Rhaeya called out from behind and interrupted whatever was going on between us. His cold demeanor returned. He breezed past me like I wasn't even there to begin with. I squeezed the paper into the fold of my palms. Kia extended a questioning gaze to me, and I reassured her with a subtle nod that everything was okay. Only that it wasn't. I was barely hiding my unease as she approached him in her bathrob

My head fell back as I shuddered with every caress, ready to take in the heat that would follow. I snapped back to reality. Wait! We were here. Out in the open. “Hagan, stop…” I tried to break free from his grip. “Someone could... someone could catch us here,” I protested. “Then let them.” He didn't stop. His large hands slid down my thighs and parted them. I flinched as he yanked me closer. Close enough for me to feel the heat between us. He locked me in a breathless kiss as his hands unstrapped the chemise at my waist. “Uhh, Hagan,” I shuddered as the warmth of his lips trailed across my neck and raw heat ensued. He brought his face closer to mine, our gazes locked. “Can I?” He gestured, eyes low, his low tone sending shivers down my spine. Without a reply, I roughly crashed my lips onto his. My

Ever's POV As usual, the Matrons rang the morning bells to wake us up. We all got up and got ready for the day's assignments as we headed to our stations. I was in the cleaning department and Kia was in the kitchen department. Some days, it was reassigned, and some days it remained the same. Whatever assignments we were given, we always found a way to meet. During ration breaks. After daily routines. Or whenever we glanced past each other. We always found a way to communicate. I would occasionally sneak to her station sometimes during her kitchen assignments, and she'd share the food she'd hidden with me. Now that we were only on one ration a day after the stunt we pulled... Well, technically, I pulled... and dragged Kia into, the habit would prove very useful to us. Plus, the bread she always took out wasn't as dry and moldy as the slop we were served. When we'd completed our daytime assignments, we would finally meet for ration break. I stood in the crooked line-up, looking ou

Ever's POV I turned to see who had spoken and it was someone else under a cloak. I couldn't see his face clearly either but the guy beside me seemed to recognize him as he rolled his eyes at the gesture.The merchant furiously collected it. And glared at the guy before leaving. As usual the crowd dispersed once the drama was over. Kia was happy to have her coin back and so was I.“I told you not to come here” The cloaked guy pulled the other one into a corner while they argued nonstop.Kia and I attempted to leave before they called us back. Neither of their faces were fully visible as they had it covered with cloaks. You could only see their eyes. And we couldn't tell their status as they both wore armbands.“Ladies, forgive our manners” The one I had met earlier from the lake stood in front of us. “I'm Zeke and this is my friend, Abe” He introduced, gesturing to the guy who has just paid for him.Oh they were friends, I thought to myself. That explains the familiarity. “May I have
