Hiding the Alpha’s Heir

Desmond

She nodded.

“You are lying,” I growled, feeling insulted. “Seraphina has no relatives nor even has a sister. Her father is dead.”

Who was this woman? Really.

Her aura screamed that she looked powerful and looked like from the highest military rank based on the medal of honor she had in her military uniform.

She scoffed. “I am actually her half-sister from the mother’s side. Her older sister actually. And I know that you were Sicilia’s ex-husband and mate.”

I creased my forehead with the way she uttered Seraphina’s name. “Sicilia? That is not her name. Her name is-”

“Seraphina Beryl, yes, I know that. Sicilia is just Seraphina’s other name,” she said in a beaming tone.

That made me bewilderment. Sicilia… I didn’t know why but that made me shiver down my spine. It felt like that name sounded… mystical for some reason.

“Where is she then? Why are you even here? And who are you really?” I hated repeating myself but it looked like she was diverting the topic.

“Love, I have taken all her belongings just as you told me.” My eyes darted to the man, who was wearing a red royal knight uniform that had the crest of the Waevalon Kingdom, bringing a suitcase in his hand.

The woman who claimed to be Seraphina’s sister glanced at him. “Thank you, love.” It looked like that was her mate based on how they looked at each other lovingly. I felt envious all of a sudden. “As for my dearest fourth sister and my lovely niece, Marquis Verlice…” She smiled sweetly. “It is better that they are far away from you. I understand that you will experience a second time around having your pup taken away from you because of-”

“Give them back to me!” I couldn’t contain my anger as I attacked her.

I did not need to worry because if she was from the military, I was certain that she was a well-skilled royal soldier.

I formed my hand into my claw and was about to land my fist on her when I felt myself being thrown back to the wall. With that, I saw her mate she was with whose fist was raising.

His face darkened when his hazel eyes glowed in red color. I shivered when he growled immaculately. I felt my legs wobbly for the power he was emitting right now.

Who was this man?

Why did he have the same power as Alpha King Azarius? Was he a Lycan, too?

Why did he look familiar?

“You must have a death wish wanting to spark a war between the Waevalon Kingdom and the Sowinski Kingdom, Marquis Desmond Verlice,” he said in a cold, fathomless expression. “Perhaps, shall I report your discourtesy to your Alpha King?”

“I just want them back! Why can’t you simply return them to me?!” Annoyed, I positioned myself to attack them.

“That’s enough, Desmond.”

I straightened my back upon hearing Alpha King Azarius’ tone. I turned my head to see him arriving wearing a green royal uniform.

They picked that color because the de Carteret royal Lycan family members had forest green eyes.

“Y-Your Majesty…” Frightened, I immediately knelt before him, lowering my head.

He walked towards me and halted in front of me. “Stand up and raise your head.” I did as he told me.

I met his kind expression before he turned at the two couples. “On behalf of him, let me apologize for his adversary behavior, Claudian, Rachelle. He must have not known that you are the Alpha King and the Luna Queen of the Waevalon Kingdom.”

My jaw dropped. Now I knew why he looked so familiar! That man who punched me to the wall was the Alpha King of the Waevalon Kingdom, Claudian Alexander IV! How could I forget about his face?!

I had seen him before when he had his diplomatic missions here in the Sowinski Kingdom!

And the woman he was with… I knew her!

It was no other than Rachelle Simon-Alexander, the first Luna Queen who joined in the rogue war and led her own brigade.

She was well-known for being the first female who entered the military of the Waevalon Kingdom and managed to become a Commander in a short period. After earning merits, she earned the General position.

Her reputation plummeted before for keeping her first pregnancy from Alpha King Claudian while she was in the rogue war along with her brigade. She became the talk of all the kingdoms.

“It’s fine, Azarius. Rachelle’s plan is not to reveal who we really are so we will see Marquis Verlice’s surprised expression,” Alpha King Claudian said, chuckling.

“It works though,” Luna Queen Rachelle said, glancing at me with a huge grin on her face. “So, do I need to introduce myself, brother-in-law?” She slightly tilted her head. “I know you already know me so there is no need for that.”

I clenched my hands, wanting to bark but I did not want to show my discourtesy to them anymore. I wouldn’t want to embarrass His Majesty because of me. But I wanted to know where my mate and my daughter are right now.NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Your Majesty, I beg you. They take my mate and my daughter.” I turned at His Majesty, Alpha King Azarius.

“I am afraid I cannot help you this time, Desmond.” I creased my forehead. “Rachelle arrives here in our kingdom because she is on her mission to look for her sisters.”

“Half-sisters, Azarius,” Luna Queen Rachelle corrected him.

“Right.” Alpha King Azarius chuckled. “Half-sisters. And Lady Seraphina Beryl is one of her sisters she has been looking for.”

“If Her Majesty, Luna Queen Rachelle has found Seraphina, why does she need to take her away from me? Even my daughter is with Seraphina!” I couldn’t help raising my tone, frustrated now that I couldn’t find Seraphina because this Luna Queen who was grinning like an idiot took them away from me.

“And your son, Sander,” Luna Queen Rachelle added.

“What?!” I was horrified.

She crossed her arms over her chest. “By the time you arrived here, Azarius had already announced a royal decree to take my nephew from your pack. They cannot defy it since it is a royal decree from your Alpha King.” She stepped forward as her expression became earnest. “Once you return, you will never see your son there, brother-in-law.”

“Why would you do that?!” I was already blinded by anger upon hearing what Luna Queen Rachelle said. Just before my fist landed on her face, Alpha King Claudian stepped up and halted my hand, growling a warning at me.

“Hurt her again and I swear, I am going to kill you here right here, right now.” Alpha King Claudian pushed me away with his face darkening.

“Desmond!” I flinched when Alpha King Azarius called my name in his cold tone.

I looked at him, about to cry. “They took away my family, Your Majesty! They can’t do this to me! What did I do and they are doing this to me?!”

I didn’t care if I was raising my voice at His Majesty right now. I was more worried about my family who they took away from me.

Why?

What was their motive to do this to me?

“Don’t you still get it, Desmond?” Luna Queen Rachelle asked, looking at me. “I am punishing you for hurting Sicilia.” She stepped forward until she was in front of me. Even though I was towering over her, she held so much power that made me want to kneel before her right now. “I am punishing you for hurting a deity that became your mate.”

I froze. What did she say? “Deity?” I parroted. I hurt a deity?

She nodded. “Yes.”

“L-Like the Moon Goddess? Seraphina is a deity?” What the hell?

A nod came from her again. Her eyes turned enigmatic. “Yes. She is Sicilia, the Goddess of Fertility. Seraphina is one of the daughters of my mother, Moon Goddess.”

The moment she said that I had chills down my spine, not knowing what to say.
