The Alpha King’s Regret Hiding His Secret Twins

POV
**FOUR YEARS LATER**
I sat by the window, gazing out at the forest and lake that stretched out like a giant carpet around the mansion. It was so peaceful. I sit in tranquillity as I remember about the crazy journey that brought me here. My life took a huge U-turn giving me another chance. A chance that I hadnât expected at all was given to me. To liveâ¦.
âKiara!â A strong and dominant Alpha voice reached my ears as I heard the back door open and I turned around to look at Aries. The head alpha of the Blood Stone Pack.
There he stood, chest bare, shirtless and flexing his hard muscles. His arm and chest were inked with tattoos. His joggers were hanging low, giving me an eyeful of that V- line. I rolled my eyes at his bizarreness. I bet if the pack female wolves would be here they would be drooling by now.
His long black hair was still damp, and I could tell he and his pack members just back from a hunt⦠with myâ¦

Alpha Aries was the one who saved me. That night, when I took a jump off the cliff, I thought this might be the end of me. He showed up⦠like a light in the darkness. That is what he is for me.
He and his pack member were swimming in the lake and enjoying their time after hunting. And I was found near the shore like a mysterious package. And he took me in by giving me a roof above my head.
The Blood Stone Pack, a pack which I never knew existed. It is just across the lake and many donât even know it existed. As much as I had studied from the books and the meeting which I attended with himâ¦.. This pack was never mentioned. For me, it is an unknown pack isolated from every other pack.
So, it was a small pack consisting of only five thousand members. When Aries found me they were the ones who took me in, treated me up. And I woke two weeks later only to meet with grey eyes that were so similar to that of Killian. But it wasnât himâ¦.
I started renewing from this pack. Aries saw some potential in me, especially my skills, I was a Luna and together we decided to expand his pack. He had always idolised this plan⦠And I was here just to return him the favour for saving me. We started forming alliances with other packs which are not under Madcrest⦠And I hope to never meet him again. That is why I always try to run from it.
Aries played the frontman- the face of the pack- while I was the secret who was always there to back him up. But all the protocols, rules and meetings were held through me

only.
When I was in my last month of giving birth to my twins. Yes, twins, I was pregnant with two children, Hanna, and Ryker⦠They are making me stronger.
I still wonder why Killian didnât accept the rejection⦠Because I was dead for him and for my pack too, a few members who survived the attack from the Rogue King. After getting better I wanted to go back to them but from what courage I would face them. For running away?
Aries had found that they were doing better not so much because in the war mom and dad were sacrificed. Aiden is doing fine on his own and that is what matters to me. Four years ago I lost everything: my mate who betrayed me, my parents and my
grandmother who sacrificed themselves for me.
That dark past had changed me a lot. And that includes my emotions too. I just only love my children. I am living for them only. I had closed all the doors of love from my heart not wanting anyb*dy to enter.
Aries didnât say anything to me but I could see in his eyes how much he wanted me. But I had shut everyone out after what happened to me in the past. If I donât give a person a chance or reason to hurt me. I wonât be disappointed.
Before I could dwell more into my past, the air filled with laughter, the delightful sound of little feet racing on the wooden floor. Their tiny footsteps echoed towards me, and just that alone brought a huge grin to my face.
Thank you, Moon Goddess. Thank you for blessing me with these two munchkins. Thank you for giving me a taste of the love a mother holds in her heart.

âMummy!â A little voice ran through the corridors as I shut the laptop off giving one. last email to the pack which needed my attention. There are many sick people in his pack. And they donât have any doctors. So I decided to give them a little help.
âMummy look, I beat Aries again,â Ryker said and puffed out his little chest. I laughed looking at Aries who was busy with Hanna playing with her.
âThatâs amazing so what did you win this time?â I asked as I stared at a similar pair of
grey eyes.
Both Ryker and Hanna adapted my burgundy hair but the features are so similar to him⦠Hanna has a splitting image of me and Ryker has a splitting image of himâ¦
âHe let you
win so that you wonât be disappointed,â Hanna said as she jumped off Ariesâs lap and ran towards me. I stretched out my hand as they both came and hugged me.
I laughed as Hanna stuck her tongue out at her brother. Teasing him and a beautiful

little scorn settled on Rykerâs features. She always likes to tease his brother knowing how little patience he has and gets angry every minute.
âNo, he is not,â Ryker said as he looked at me before continuing âI beat him this time,â He said before nodding his little head agreeing with his own statement.
âYeah! Yeah! You won. Now tell me what you wanted?â Aries said and walked towards me leaving a little to no space as his eyes stared at my son. Rykerâs little fingers scratch his chin as he thought of things he could ask Aries.
Aries has always been protective towards them.
I laughed at his reaction. My heart danced with joy, overwhelmed by the sheer love I had for them. Every day, I get up, they are the reasons I keep breathing. The reason Iâm still living. They are my everything, my great love. Mine only.
Hanna whispered in his ears everything they could eat. She has a sweet tooth. Desserts, chocolate, late-night sleeping, hiking, camping just outside the mansion⦠And Aries. and I looked at each other knowing very well that they are just two little naughty kids.
But in Rykerâs eyes, something else shines. My mischievous one. I still have a huge grin on my face but it fell sooner when I heard his next sentence.
âI want to go outside this pack, go to the lake house mummy always talks about and want to meet my uncle,â he said. And my smile fell. I gulped as I thought of avoiding this.
I was very clear to them where I came from. How much love did I get from my parents? From Aiden and from my pack. Because somewhere that pack still belongs to me. And they always wanted to go and meet them but I donât want that.
Seeing me silent, Aries tried to change the subject. He knew about my past. I told him everything, why didnât I?
He has always been with me, helping me raise these troublemakers from day one. Every step of the way, heâs been there- even during the birth of them. Just when I thought I had nothing left, he kept me going.
âOkay, who wants to drink chocolate milkshakes?â Aries asks changing the subject, knowing perfectly how much they like it. And that too made from his hand. Both of them jumped excitedly, forgetting the things Ryker just asked me before.
âSo go to the kitchen and take the ingredients out. We all are making it together and whoever reached the kitchen first. They will get more cuddles tonight,â he said.
âYeah!â they shouted in union running towards the kitchen direction.

âKids not so loud,â I called forward to the two munchkins.
I let out a sigh, the kind that comes from deep within. When theyâre out of sight, I peel away the warmth- the soft exterior I save just for my kids. Itâs like the mask I put on every single day, shielding the hate from whatâs really beneath.
âEverything alright?â Aries shoots me a concerned look as my gaze lingers in the direction my children went away. I am well aware that Ryker, deep down, has always yearned to uncover his roots. He sensed he didnât quite fit into the puzzle here. He might not have all the official status yet, but sooner or later, heâs gonna start questioning why he feels different.
How far can I keep dodging his question? Rykerâs one-of-a-kind, destined to be the alpha king, and thereâs no escaping the truth. One of these days, Iâm gonna have to tell him. But not now. When heâs ready to handle the weight of it all, thatâs when Iâll have to come cleanâ¦.
