Once The Alpha's Little Secret, Now His Greatest Regret 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

Hagan's POV“We've been waiting over an hour.” Elder Owen sneered, his feet tapping impatiently against the floor. “This generation has no respect for elders,” he complained. “You!” He turned to Marcus, who'd been sweating uncomfortably since Zeke refused to show up. “Didn't you tell your Alpha what time the meeting was to hold?” he shot.Marcus swallowed, unable to find words.“Well...” he said, not a hint of confidence in his tone. “I'm sure Alpha Zeke will be here soon. Something must have been holding him up. He'll definitely come.” He swallowed hard.“He better do so!” Elder Bright chipped in. “We don't have all day here. I still have other assignments to get done before the day ends.”I rolled the dice on the Greymark layout, checking out each side. I was here, but my mind was stuck in the night before. I hadn't seen Ever since yesterday. I'd passed by Zeke's chambers earlier to see if she was there, but she wasn't. I needed to talk to her, badly.The sound of the doors flying o

Ever's POV“Please…” Mila's drained voice pleaded. “I'll find a way to pay you back.”Her pleas fell on deaf ears as the Omegas whose feet rested on her face stepped down harder and Mila writhed in pain.Before I could stop myself, I found myself stepping in. “What's going on here?” I asked, and they all stiffened, freeing a crying Mila.“Well… Senior,” one nervously began. “You know Mila has been a pain in our ass for such a while. She even collected gifts from us, knowing fully well she would not be chosen as Head Maiden. And now, she will return everything!” She turned to Mila and they all glared at her. Mila's face was still glued to the floor, unable to stand. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.I never liked her one bit, especially when she picked on Kia and me. But now, I couldn't help but feel sorry for what she was being put through.I let out a laugh, clenching my fists. And they all looked at me like I was crazy.“Is this how loyal you guys are?” I slowly let out, an

Ever's POV: The sun's warm rays graced my eyes as they fluttered open. My eyes glanced through the room. It looked so much better in broad daylight. You would never guess it had ever been abandoned.A knock drew my attention to the door.“Hey, Ever.” Mila's voice gently cut through. “I mean Head Miss,” she nervously corrected.I shook my head in laughter.“Our Alpha and Luna Rhaeya have requested we prepare a full breakfast for everyone and serve it in the dining hall,” she stated.On hearing his name, the sting of what happened last night returned. I brushed it off as soon as I could. Wallowing in thoughts like that was the last thing I needed at the moment. I slid out of my mattress on the floor, washed my face and mouth, and proceeded to open the door.“Just Ever is okay,” I told Mila, and she smiled.“Okay... Ever,” she said. “Nice place you have, by the way.”“Speaking of that, how'd you know I'd be here?” I asked, brows furrowed.“The other Omegas. You know, word spreads fast.

Hagan's POVMy conversation with Elder Owen last night replayed in my head as I sat silently at the dining table.“So you're saying most Alphas keep mistresses either way. Luna or not?” I asked.“Yes. It's very much normal,” he said, clutching his robe. “But may I ask why you're asking this particularly?” He raised a brow. “You don't strike me as the type to keep mistresses. Or do you plan to?” he asked.I stared down silently for a while, letting the question sink in. I wanted so badly to make Ever Luna and make everyone know she was mine. My mate. But I couldn't. For her safety and mine, we couldn't. So maybe this wasn't such a bad idea to try. Make her my mistress first. Then maybe announcing her as Luna wouldn't seem so hard anymore.And at least then… we wouldn't need to hide our intimate affairs anymore.“Are you?” Elder Owen asked again, seeing as I was lost in thought.“I honestly don't know,” I sighed.“Do you have anyone particular in mind?” he asked, and my mind replayed th

Ever's POV:“He doesn't seem very... happy,” Zeke smiled at Rhaeya after Hagan stormed out. “Did I say something wrong?” he questioned sinisterly. “Or maybe...” His gaze turned to me, and I lowered my scrutinized eyes. “...I offended someone important to him?” he said, and a lump formed in my throat. Rhaeya's gaze turned to me.“We're highly honoured to have you at this breakfast, Alpha Zeke,” she said, her voice unusually filled with gloom. “But this is a breakfast table, not the right time to discuss politics and Pack affairs,” she said, and he smiled again.“Well...” he said, raising both hands in surrender. “You have my apology for that... Luna,” he offered.“Forgive our Alpha. He has the tendency to be bursting with ideas at rather unpleasant moments and not when he's actually called upon to give them,” Abe apologized, his eyes shooting daggers at Zeke.“I always knew you were a meathead, brother. I'm not surprised,” Aya said, happily chewing down her food.My gaze moved towards
