The Alpha King's Regret: Hiding His Secret Twins novel 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.
