The Secret Gets Out Novels & Stories

“No, you don’t! By tomorrow, the entire pack will know. The secret you fought so desperately to bury—it’s all coming out now.” Through all of this, Clara sat in silence, watching.

Barely audible. He kept reading. But ma'am, my advice is this: you better start running. Because very soon the secret is going to come out. It's just a matter of time. Liam's hands were shaking. He walked to the window. It was open. Wide open. Like someone had climbed out or at least considered it. Damned. Something must have happened. Someone had been here. Maybe the police. Maybe Avery had seen them coming and running. He pulled out his phone. Dialed Officer Mackenzie.

He cannot understand how the crowd turned on his face so suddenly. From the sea of angry faces below, Haley frantically waves both arms in the air, jabbing a finger toward the massive screen lighting up the wall behind Amara’s head. Amara freezes instantly, his brain slow to register what is happening behind his back. But the exact moment his neck turns and his eyes catch sight of the video, his legs give out completely. His body collapses onto the wooden stage in a messy heap. This secret tape was never supposed to come out to the public. How did it leak from the dark? The dirty deal happened deep inside Alpha Merritt's most exclusive private club. Who in their right mind would risk their l

She makes my skin crawl so bad—I wanna squeeze her neck. "Look at her. I never knew she'd ask someone out," Poly chuckled, whispering to Diana and Freda. "She shamelessly told Sugar she loves him. It’s all over the internet. She’s a big flop. Her clout is ending her," Freda spoke, and my blood boiled. I wanted to punch them so hard when I saw Andrena, Crocs, and Christiana walking from a distance. One thing I know: if my secret keeps leaking, it’s either one of these girls—Andrena or Christiana.

I raised an eyebrow, needing to have it all laid out. I knew, somewhere deep down, that I should ask more questions. But in the moment, I repeated the one that mattered to me most. “I’m not a secret anymore?” “Not from Beth.” I saw the faintest hint of conflict in his eyes. Even so, hearing the words again felt like a forklift had just been lifted off of my soul. Beth knew. Danny chose me. I was no longer a secret. Between that… the relief that my earlier insecurity was proven wrong… and the way the mate bond sparks pulled at me… I was a goner.

I could still feel that heat wrapped tightly around me, as if one push would break the final barrier between us. "I-I fell asleep back here earlier," I said, my voice uneven. "I accidentally triggered the mechanism on the bed. Can you… turn it off for me?" My breathing had grown heavier without me realizing it. But instead of pulling away immediately, Clarissa seemed to shift her weight lower against me, as if the reaction only made her more excited. Then, after a pause, she stepped away and unplugged the bed. Without power, the restraints released almost instantly. The moment my arms and legs were free, I instinctively stood up.

I miss him terribly and I'm dying to know how he's doing after he got punched by Charles yesterday. I know I should have told them, said something at least. But something about keeping it a secret thrilled me, to keep going on. The sneaking, the quickies, the short kisses in the hallway, I felt so badass. They thrilled me and brought out my wild side, a side I didn't know I had until I met James. At least for now, my consolation is that Elizabeth understands me, she doesn't support my actions, but I know she understands where I'm coming from. And probably she can speak to Charles, so that he forgives me.

Is he clumsy? Nevertheless, it'll make it easy for me. I asked the maid to prepare tons of snack so it'll buy me time. Then I installed an audio bug, meters away from the office so I could hear if someone's coming. 'So, let's do this within five minutes.' I did exactly what they instructed me to open the secret door. After placing the book diagonally, the huge shelve has split into two. I'm not that surprised but looking at the dark cleared pathway at the center made my mouth wide opened. No seconds to lose, I entered the space. It is much cooler inside the dim secret room where all I could see are table, a laptop above it, boxes of drugs in sachets and the single warm yellow light above tha

It was a text on my phone that woke me up the next morning. The whole world would soon know about everything. The secret you both are keeping. If you don't want to be exposed send Thirty million dollars in the next hour. The clock is ticking. My heart was pounding in my chest. Thirty million, how am I supposed to get that. Does the person truly knows about our secret, who could it be, what do they want? These questions kept on going through my head. I don't even know whether to tell Travis. I was really confused, different things started going through my head and I felt like my brain wasn't functioning.

As everyone settled at the enormous table in the large conference room, Clyde turned to Jace with an intense look. The Secretary sensed that heavy hours lay ahead, Clyde’s demeanor convinced him that the Palace secrets had been discovered, the truth laid bare. He took a deep breath, knowing that he would have to be very convincing to avoid punishment, to escape the consequences of his actions. Clyde would not spare him if he knew the truth, his loyalty tested and found wanting. His breathing became irregular, and his heart raced uncontrollably, it was a frantic drumbeat against his ribs.
