The Secret Daughter Book Novels & Stories

When we arrived outside the house, the divorce attorney was already there with drafted divorce papers. With the front door open, we crowded into the small house. While Keith was shocked, Whitney, who was cradling the baby, was startled by the commotion. “What are you doing, Naomi? What’s the meaning of this?” As always, Whitney grilled me. Judging by the look on her face, she had no idea that I knew the family’s dirty little secret. “What’s this, babe?” Keith’s quiet charm made me sick to my stomach. At least, we would have nothing to do with each other after today. I closed my eyes.

“There’s one traitor in this room today, and that traitor is not Amelia.” The mumbling rises even further among the elders. I push back, rounding the table in slow strides. “Elder Simion, why did you keep your second daughter a secret from the pack?” “What?” the other elders ask in unison, their heads turning to Simion. “He has another daughter?” Simion snarls at me. “Don’t taint my name just so you can save this⁠—”

Liora Vale had always loved the quiet. At twenty-one, she worked the night shift at the old city library. Most people thought the job was boring, but Liora loved being alone with the books after midnight. The tall shelves felt like old friends. One rainy night, while sorting the rare books section, she found a strange leather book hidden behind others. It had no title. When she opened it, the pages glowed softly. Words appeared. Choose a story. Bring him to life. One night only.

Even the blood still running down my forehead seemed to turn cold. So in her eyes, her eldest daughter was just an unsightly embarrassment, something that couldn’t compare to Suri in the slightest. I struggled to my feet and started toward the door. I didn’t want to stay here for even one more second. I didn’t want to watch Mom and her precious Suri clinging to each other while I stood there like a stranger. However, before I could reach the door, Mom blocked my path. Frowning, she rummaged through a box, pulled out gauze and antiseptic, and shoved them into my hands.

“My father left everything to me. The inheritance. The company. The shares. The properties. All of it.” I rested my head on his shoulder. “Not Ben. Me.” He still didn’t say anything, just gently ran his fingers along my arm. “And he said… it was decided when I was a teenager. But no one ever told me. Not my dad. Not my mom. No one.” I let out a short, dry laugh. “Isn’t that funny? The daughter they kicked out for being a disgrace is now the heir to everything. Like they suddenly realized I mattered… after I had a child with a Romanov.”

My heart stopped. “Watch where you’re going,” the all-too-familiar voice of Sabrina sneered. Before I could react, she had grabbed my jacket, pulling me close, her eyes narrowing. “There's no need to hide it,” she whispered, her voice dripping with malicious glee. “I know all about your little secret.” Panic gripped me. “Please, Sabrina,” I begged, my voice trembling. “You can’t tell anyone.” A cruel smile spread across her face. “Oh, I won’t. But it’ll cost you. From now on, you’re my little servant. My errand girl. Do as I say, and maybe, just maybe, I won’t spill your precious secret.”

“I’m sure the little human girl’s mother would want a woman present. My impression of Clementine wasn’t that she’d care about something like that. If she did Margo wouldn’t be the type of woman I’d trust to look at for my daughter around a man I didn’t know. I stayed in the living room ignoring Margo until she decided she would go into my room and sleep in my bed. I didn’t bother arguing with her, I slept in the living room instead. In the morning I checked on the girls and was relieved to see Aaliyah was perfectly fine and there were no incidents. My niece and her cousins were all still completely in their human forms so our secret was preserved. I wondered for a second if Clementine would

Why aren’t they sleeping? I smile and turn my attention back to my parents. “Oh, I forgot to tell you I found Katie, and she has been keeping another little secret.” Katie wiggles beside me and mumbles, “Our precious little secret, Cass.” I lean over and kiss the top of her head out of the view of the phone. My parents may not be able to handle all of this, but they already know exactly how I feel about her, and they support me.

Adam interrogated as he twisted his arm even more. "Ahhh!" He winced. "B-Because..." "Because?" "That person knows the place where the secrets were hidden." "What secret?" "From what I h-heard, that person is a child of some organization. I forgot the name. But she is… they said… she’s a Mage’s daughter.” “Mage?” “Y-Yes. And they are looking for her to get something.” If it is a mage daughter, Adam could only think of one person. ‘Maxine? They are looking for Maxine?’

she snapped. His voice boomed on the other end, a strange intensity to it. "I know the truth, Karina." Karina arched her brow, her patience thin. "If you have nothing important to say, hang up. I won't entertain your nonsense." He cut in, his tone firm. "I know about your secret." "What secret?" she asked bluntly. "You have a daughter," Aidan stated, his voice unwavering. Karina's lips parted in shock. "What are you talking about?"
