The Player Hides His Past Ao3 Novels & Stories

He opened up to me about his mate and everything, and I have been hiding things from him all the time. "I'm so sorry, Aiden . I didn't mean any of this to happen. I never talked about my past because I wanted to leave that story behind and build a future with you. When you mentioned coming to Silver Claw, I couldn’t muster the courage to tell you.

"Then, one day, I was cleaning up his study and accidentally knocked over a wooden sculpture on his desk. He shoved me away and told me I wasn't allowed in there anymore. That was when I noticed the name 'Beatrice' carved into the base." By the time I finished, I couldn't stop crying. All these years, I never dared tell my parents any of it.

And now, here I was, pouring my heart out to them about the same man. Wasn't that just proving them right all along? After listening to my story, my parents fell silent.

One slip would ruin me. Not when suspicions were already rising. Not when Darius Blackthorn was casting his shadow so close next to mine. "You all right?" Darius asked as he breezed in and sat beside me. "Yeah..." I hissed as he rubbed the ointment on my wound. "Good. Now about the whole couple thing..."He let the sentence hang, and I squirmed in bed. The Hide That Binds Gossip swirled around me like that second skin which, once added to a body, could never be

Why did I always have to act like a jerk in her presence? Perhaps my eagerness to shy away from the subject affected my ability to communicate better with the people around me, especially with my mate. Honestly, I didn’t feel the need for her to know the dark secret lurking inside me. My dark past would only add to her burden, so I chose to hide it from her. Besides, I had no plans on telling anyone that my wolf was sleeping inside me or the truth behind the silver cage and its significance to my past. The door creaked, revealing Beta Hunter’s playful face. When he noticed the pile of papers on my desk, he shook my head in disbelief.

He thought he was being so clever, hiding behind a screen, whispering his sins into the void, thinking that because he looked like a ‘good’ boy, no one would ever suspect or find out that he was harboring such filth. I scrolled to a particularly graphic paragraph, the one where the protagonist describes the exact sensation of being ruined by a man he shouldn't want. My mind had immediately gone to Aaron too when I first read that paragraph, especially because of the descriptions. And that was even before I started seeing them together. The phone made a clicking sound as I took a screenshot. Then I opened a hidden folder and dropped the file inside, a small smile tugging at my lips. “What are

His eyes darkened when talking about it. Xevia looked back at the ground, lost in deep thoughts. "Yeah i know, My father is a warrior with a nameless tomb. Did he deliberately hide his identity?" The old alpha nodded. He continued to stare at her. Xevia could feel the intense gaze burning her skin. It was uncomfortable. She shifted her glance back at him but kept her distance since he was sitting directly across her.

Neither of the two gave way to their true feelings for the other, just for Serafina's sake. And speaking of Serafina... "Give..."

Silas lowered his voice just enough to sound reasonable. “If there’s nothing to hide, bring her out. Let council verify the claim. Let the pack see your control.” “No,” I said. His brows lifted. “Then you admit you can’t.” My wolf snapped up inside me, furious at the implication. I kept my face empty. “You want to see her,” I said. “You want to put your scent on her and call it concern and then use her like a pawn.”

The truth I was hiding from Ariana… Was the very truth that would change her life forever. And somewhere out there… Lucas was still walking freely. Unaware that the past he had buried years ago… Was about to come back and destroy him. To be continued…
