Hiding the Alpha’s Heir

We were having a peaceful dinner with Declan, Mariana, and Daniel when Declan spoke up.

“Is Daniel no longer an Alpha candidate in the Rising Diamond pack, brother?”

Desmond squinted his eyes at Declan. “Let’s not discuss that in front of our kids, Declan. This matter should be discussed with adults only,” he said frigidly.

That earned Declan a silence. I knew that even if he already got married and had a family, he would always follow his brother’s command. He knew when to shut up but he didn’t know when to shut up if he was going to slander me.

Desmond glanced at Daniel. “How’s your study, Daniel? Are you guiding your sisters, too?”

Daniel nodded with a smile. “Yes, Papa Mund. As their older brother, I also applied your teachings,” he said politely.

He nodded his head. “Good to know.” He drew out a smile.

I knew that Daniel had a soft spot for Desmond. He also cherished his nephew just as I cherished Daniel before.

Desmond turned at our son. “Have you enjoyed your ceremony, Sander?” he asked in a gentle tone.

Sander’s sullen face brightened up when Desmond asked him that. “Papa’s pack members welcomed me warmly,” he said, nodding. “I even got a chance to have new playmates unlike before.”

“Oh?” Declan spoke up. “Don’t you have any playmates before, Sander?”

He shook his head. “They keep teasing me that I don’t have Papa with us because I only have Mama.”

As soon as Sander said that, all of the people’s eyes shifted to me.

I sighed. Not again… “Before you can say that I am a selfish mother, you should ask Desmond why I left in the first place, Declan,” I said with a sweet smile, glaring at Declan. “Isn’t it your fault, right, Desmond?” I glanced at Desmond who was also looking in my direction.

He didn’t say anything but he surely was fighting me with the same intensity of glaring.

“I have made some cathedral window gelatin!” We both snapped back when Mariana beamed. “Shall we have our dessert? It shall fill our appetite.” She glanced at Elron and nodded.

I looked away and finished my meal before I glanced at Sander, taking the napkin to wipe the side of his mouth. He smiled at me but he looked worried.

“Eat more,” I urged him to finish his meal. “No dessert until you finish it.”

Sander frowned, nodding. I gently combed his hair before our dessert was served.

“Sander’s seventh birthday shall happen next month.” I creased my forehead when Desmond started another conversation on the table while eating the gelatin. My son’s seventh birthday… How did he… Of course! He knew Sander’s birthdate… “I have already taken care of the buffet, venue, and the clothes we are going to wear.”

I almost barked at him if only I remembered that Sander was here. I didn’t want to traumatize my son again. I must talk to him in private.

“Oh, really?” I said in a sweet tone. “How thoughtful of you that an Alpha like you takes this matter into his hands,” I said meaningfully. “Perhaps, I think you should have consulted me as well. I would like to take part in preparing Sander’s birthday celebration,” I added, smiling sweetly.

Actually, this kind of matter should be handled by the Luna of the pack. All the event celebrations should be handled and hosted by her, not the Alpha. That was one of the tasks of the Luna of the pack.

Desmond smiled. “Fret not, seraphim.” I secretly gnashed my teeth, hearing that freaking endearment again. “‘You’ have already taken part in preparing our son’s birthday celebration.”

That perplexed me. Taking part in preparing? “Since when?”

He didn’t answer me and turned his head at Declan. “I am looking forward to you bringing my nieces, too, brother. I am certain Sander is thrilled to meet his other cousins.”

Declan exchanged his glances between me and his brother. He looked unsure because my question hadn’t been answered. For certain, I looked composed yet I looked annoyed right now that I was being ignored by this bastard.

“Uh… Sure thing, brother. Mariana and I shall bring our daughters as well on our next visit,” he said, unsure.

The dinner ended well. Mariana, Declan, and Daniel rested in the guest room in the south hall.

It bewildered me since when I hadn’t arrived in Desmond’s life, his guest rooms were located in the west hall. But ever since I married him and changed how to run a household, I noticed that after seven years, the same arrangements I made were still applied.

Like the guest rooms in the south hall where they were first located in the west hall. I made arrangements that it was supposed to be in the south hall. Until now, the arrangements were still the same.

Or perhaps, Desmond was just too lazy to even change it.

“Have a good night, little man,” I said softly and kissed his forehead.

Sander smiled before he turned at Desmond when he tucked him in as he was combing his hair with a soft gaze in his eyes.

“Papa, I want to go to Elian.”

He looked surprised. “Elian?” Then his eyes shifted to me. My heart jumped after that. “Did Mama tell you about the vacation house?” he asked while looking at me before he turned his attention to Sander.

Before Sander could answer, I spoke. “I told him that it has a man-made pond and a lake there. Sander loves bodies of water so he wants to visit the vacation house.”

A half-baked truth… I must keep my agenda hidden.

“Ah… I see.” Desmond nodded. “If so, don’t you know that I gifted it to your Mama when we married each other?” he asked, looking at me meaningfully.

I looked away when I couldn’t handle his stare. My wolf was feeling giddy as well. I scolded my wolf because this was too much for me to handle.

Sander shook his head. But he giggled afterward. “Papa loves Mama so much. I can tell that you spoiled Mama before.”

I felt like there was a lump in my throat when he said that. Sander was right. Desmond spoiled me and never failed to shower me with affection.

Desmond chuckled, kissing his forehead. “I have loved your mother more than anyone else.” My heart leaped when he looked at me. “She was my world before.”

I silently scoffed. Was? Did he use the past tense? Ah, of course. His new world was Hazel. How could I forget about that?

“And now, you are here, Sander. You and your Mama are the people I love the most. You both are my world now.” He gently combed his hair using his fingers.

Sander smiled. “I love Papa and Mama, too. I am happy that I have Papa now as well.”

I could feel my chest tightening. I tsked and clapped my hands before I could shed some tears. “Well, time to sleep, sweetheart.” I had to halt this talk now before my emotions would blind me again.

“Hmm!”

I kissed his forehead one more time before I stood up. Desmond kissed his forehead as well and looked at him with adoration.

“I shall make arrangements to have us go to Elian. You will love it there, son,” Desmond uttered before Sander excitedly nodded and closed his eyes.

We quietly left his chamber. I followed him when he was going downstairs and was about to go in the direction of his study room.

“Is there something that you need, seraphim?” He turned at me. Gone was the tenderness he had earlier.

“The dinner a while ago…” I paused. “What you said that I have already taken part in preparing for my son’s seventh-”

“Our son, Seraphina. Our son,” he corrected me and faced me. “Don’t just claim Sander as if you made him on your own. I also contributed before you conceived him.” His face darkened, unhappy with the choice of words I did.

I rolled my eyes. “Explain,” I said, diverting the topic. “I have never helped you in anything-”

“Don’t you just ignore me here, Seraphina?” He growled and took strides towards me.

I panicked. “What…” I couldn’t finish my words when in an instant, I was leaning against the wall. Roughly. Being in pain, I glared at him. “Des-” I was about to scream when he covered my mouth with his hand.

Then he drew closer to me until there was no space left between us. “Let me remind you that I hate being ignored here, Seraphina. Don’t you know that I punish those who dared to ignore me, hmm?” he whispered huskily but his voice was masked with a threatening tone.

I squinted my eyes at him, trying to remove his hand from my mouth.

Desmond really had a great temperament. This was one of the things which were annoying about him but I had learned to accept him.

“Hmm!” My voice muffled under his palm. I couldn’t even remove his hand from my mouth.

Desmond smirked and sniffed my scent. “Your scent makes my wolf want to lunge at you, Seraphina. I missed your naked body and your moans.”

I tried to struggle but to no avail, Desmond was stronger than me. I ended up having my chest rise upside down when his lips started grazing on the sensitive spot on my neck.

“Hmm! Hmm!” I pushed him off me.

Finally, Desmond allowed himself to be pushed away. Having a sinister grin that could make all women swoon by it, he shrugged it off like he did not do something by trying to reprimand me.

“I have been touching myself, seraphim. You can help me relieve me, what do you think?” he said in a teasing tone. “You know, I would like to do it in my study room…” He wriggled his eyebrows.

I hadn’t recovered from what he did when he approached me and took my hand to place it in front of his bulging crotch. My eyes widened because of that. Our eyes met. I could see the lustful gaze he had been trying to hide.

“Relieve me, seraphim…” he whispered huskily as he guided my hand to hold his hard cock that was covered with his undergarments and trousers. I licked my lips because of that. My breath became uneven as well.

“No…” I muttered.

I closed my eyes when his lips started leaving some wet kisses on my jaw, causing me to pool down there. My wolf was eager to be touched by him again. “Stroke me, seraphim. My cock missed your hands, your mouth, and your cunt.”

I yanked my hand back when he was growing harder than earlier. But Desmond halted me and kept pressing his bulging crotch to my hand causing me to bite my lower lip.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Shit… I hadn’t done anything yet. He was freaking hard right now.

“Desmond…” I looked at him with droopy eyes. I was feeling aroused right now. This feeling would make me regret everything later. “Stop…”

But he didn’t.

Instead, he pulled down the strap of my night dress and revealed my perky breasts. “Mine…” he said possessively before he suddenly latched one of them which made me gasp in surprise.

“Desmond…!” I said in a harsh whisper and flinched feeling his warm mouth on one of my nipples. “Fuck… Stop it… Oh!” I gasped when I felt something gushing down there.

He sucked it like he used to do. It was rough yet it was so good. I couldn’t stop myself to moan but I covered my mouth afraid that Sander might wake up from our ‘business’ here. While I kept stroking him, still covered with his clothing, Desmond held my back and bestowed a good sucking sound on each of my nipples.

“Des…” I couldn’t utter a word and kept pressing my mouth. I had to hold back or else, everyone would be woken up.

When Desmond was done, he raised his head, grinning. “Let’s do this some other time. Perhaps, in our vacation house again, hmm?” he said as he pulled up the straps so my bare breasts would be covered.

“You wish…” I pushed him away from me and immediately distanced myself from him.

“I will surely have a good night,” Desmond said teasingly as I was on my way upstairs having a flustered face.
