The Alpha King's Regret: Hiding His Secret Twins

Chapter 5

Kaira POV

Alejandro's steady support on my arm never left me, and I felt my head spinning with the weight of everything that had come to light in just one night. It was like a hurricane had swept through my life, leaving me in a state of disarray.

"You should rest, Luna. You don’t look well. Do you want to go to the doctor Eve, or should I call her here to check up on you?" His concern was. evident in his voice as he gently guided me to sit on one of the plush couches in my room.

A frustrated and bitter laugh escaped my lips on its own when I heard him still calling me Luna. "I think you should change the way you address me. Alejandro. I was stripped of that position last night.” I said, my voice laced with resentment.

He let out a sigh before sitting beside me, "Kiara. I know what Killian did to you is unforgivable, and I know you had no knowledge related to this change in position, and if you believe me, I don’t either. That was until I saw Rihanna last night."

"Where was she all these years? Why didn’t anybody share this with me?" I asked, feeling like a fool.

"Alpha Eric had made sure that she didn’t stay in the pack when he found out that you were Alpha Killian's mate. Some of us know that he is too weak for her," Alejandro explained. That reason still didn't snuff out my curiosity for her to be here.

“And where is Alpha Eric? I didn't get any calls from him. He didn’t come last night to attend the coronation," I continued because if he was present here this wouldn't have happened to me. He always looked after me when I entered this pack. Now he just vanished into thin air. And as far as I don’t want to think about it, all events didn’t fit well.

"He has informed us that the things he is dealing with are going to take a little more of his time. As for the changes, he didn’t know about them, but we'll have to inform him. Then he'll decide what’s going to happen in the future,” he said. What's more important is that- What he's doing and still hasn't finished it yet. It's been like six months or more since he went to the Crescent Moon Pack.

"Anyways, I would not overthink what you just saw. I know that Killian wants you. You had created a secure place inside his heart, Kiara. Maybe he still has feelings for Rihanna, but he would not leave you. He is just feeling guilty towards her," Alejandro said

"Why is he feeling guilty?” I couldn’t help but ask.

"Rihanna was banished from the pack by Alpha Eric. She was lucky that one of our smaller packs took her in at the order of Killian, but Alpha Eric never wanted her in the pack to return," Alejandro disclosed. That was something I didn’t know; actually, I didn’t know anything about their relationship. But why was she banished from the pack?

Banishment is a harsh punishment and usually. no one is allowed to make any communication with them. But Killian ignored that rule and even brought her back to our pack and appointed her as Luna. What is he actually thinking?

“Banished? Then why is she here? Lucia didn’t say that she was banished from the pack. She mentioned that she left the pack. “As I said, only a few of us know that she was banished.” he reasoned.

I was about to ask the reason for her banishment when the bedroom door opened and Killian walked in. The moment his eyes landed on Alejandro and me sitting close, a growl escaped from his throat.

Alejandro was quick enough to stand up. I rolled my eyes at his behaviour. What with this sudden possessiveness? Just a few minutes ago, he had his arms wrapped around another girl's waist.

I didn't want him near me, so I decided to leave the room, but Killian's firntgrip on my wrist stopped Fr mre. I looked up at him, his eyes flickering between enchantitig stormy) grey and angry amber-ted. As if iMie is controlling his walf'so he doesn't kill anyone. And I gouldn't help but wonder, who didthe want to protect or attack, Alejandro or me? "Rihanna is now staying here with us in the Alpha house," He said. I stared at him, not knowing if I had a say in this or not because it felt more like an order than a request or piece of information.

"Didn't Pack’s guest house have enough space for her?” I questioned. I wanted to take back my words, but I couldn’t because they had already reached his ears. I will not back down from him or from her.

"I'm not asking you, Kiara; I'm telling you,” he asserted. Yes, that's what I thought.

“Okay.” I reluctantly nodded my head. Emotions swirling inside me.

"And she needed someone to help her understand the pack's development Many things have . changed Strice I took the reins. And I don't have time to spare. You have to help her,’ he stated nonchalantly as it was just a simple task. But it ignited a fire inside me. Hew could he ask his fated mate to Took after his ex-lover? What did he take me

for?

“I thought you appointed her as Luna, you know she is eligible for the title,” I said.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Kiara.” my name rolled off his lips in a sensual way but I know he always calls me like this. “This is an order from your mate and most importantly as the alpha of the pack. I would choose whomever I want to get the title. You are my mate and you've to idly follow and stand beside me.” He ordered.

That's when a sudden dizziness overcame me, and this time it was so overwhelming that I lost my balance. I was about to fall flat on the floor when Killian's quick reflexes kicked in, and he caught me around the waist.

"Kiara!" Alejandro's concerned voice reached my ears, and I found myself resting on Killian’s shoulder for a few moments.

"Kiara, are you all right?” Killian asked, his voice filled with panic, and I couldn’t help but feel a relief wash over me—at least he cared about my well- being.

"Alejandro calls the pack doctor. Hurry.” He ordered as he scooped me up into his arms and laid me gently on the bed. What is happening to me? This feeling is very new to me. And I couldn't pinpeaint it.

“Kaira, look at.me." He said softly,

and my eyesimmediately went to

him. His grey eyes were soft and ~

filled witt concern. I wanted to

speak w with him, but I couldn't get

any wetds out right now. He stared

até like he wanted to readme. It

was always like this someof the

time he stared as if he was reading

me.

“Kiara, what happened to you? I just saw Alejandro rushing out of the room,” Again, that shrill voice broke this moment. And I closed my eyes. My hands balled into tight fists, controlling my wolf so she wouldn't go crazy and hunt her down

"Oh, did I disturb you guys?” She asked with her so-called sweet voice. And Killian put distance between us. Her eyes hurt as if she was the one who was his mate and not the other way around.

I‘ll come back later. Take some rest," She said it hurriedly, her voice breaking slightly as if she had caught her mate cheating on someone else. Killian looked at me and then at her before following her, leaving me alone again.
