Keeping a secret from my Alpha mate

Kiara Kingsley had learned how to disappear. Exile taught her that—how to keep her head down, bury claws beneath skin, how to pass as human, how to raise a child in a world that would never understand what he truly was. For years, she believed she had succeeded. The past stayed silent. The pack stayed away. And her little Mat grew, blissfully unaware of the blood humming in his veins. Until the night he vanished. The hamlet spiraled into panic - questions,sirens,fear. But Kiara felt none of it. The air carried their scent.She knew exactly who had taken her little Mat. And she knew what it would cost to get him back. Returning meant facing Caspian Silverheart—her Alpha mate, the one man she never learned how to hate. The same man who had stood frozen and shattered as his father pronounced her banishment, sealing her fate before their entire pack. Kiara never blamed Caspian. Some sins were too heavy to share, and she had carried hers alone. To bring Mat back, Kiara knew she must return beyond the veil and face the one truth she had spent years avoiding. Some betrayals were written into fate long before love ever had a choice. Crossing the veil, Kiara expected judgment, hatred, and the ghosts of everything she had destroyed. What she did not expect was a world she no longer recognized. The pack she left behind had been reshaped. Power had shifted. Familiar laws felt dangerously flexible. And the silence surrounding her little boy’s disappearance was far too deliberate to be accidental. As old bonds resurfaced and buried truths began to stir, Kiara realized her exile may never have been about punishment. It may have been about erasure. And the laws governing blood, lineage, and power now circled dangerously close to Mat as well. Because Mat was not just her little boy. He was a convergence…of bloodlines, of broken oaths, of a future the pack was never meant to unlock. Now that she had returned, the lies holding their worlds together were beginning to fracture.

The Setup Alfha, a 19-year-old BBA student in India, begins an internship under Adi, a sharp and successful Branch Manager. What begins as a professional mentorship quickly escalates into a whirlwind romance. However, the dream shatters when Adi confesses that his initial proposal was a "mistake"—a suggestion from his roommates to help him recover from the depression of a past breakup. The Conflict Determined to keep her dignity, Alfha builds a "Professional Wall," treating Adi with cold, office-standard formality. Yet, the heart is not so easily managed. As Adi realizes the depth of his feelings for Alfha, he pulls her back in, claiming a "Two-Way Love"—he loves Alfha, but feels he "needs" his ex-girlfriend. Alfha becomes a public secret, living in the shadows of Adi’s double life. The Turning Point The arrival of Rony, a fellow Branch Manager and Adi’s best friend, changes everything. Rony becomes Alfha’s silent ally, revealing Adi’s secrets through muted conference calls. For the first time, Alfha hears the unfiltered truth: Adi is painting her as a "mentorship project" to his ex while calling her his "soul" in private. The Climax The "Two-Way Love" collapses when the ex-girlfriend betrays Adi again, announcing her marriage to someone else. Adi returns to Alfha in a state of total brokenness. Instead of offering immediate comfort, Alfha sets a New Boundary. She refuses to be the second choice or a secret anymore. She demands a public vow and total transparency. The Resolution Adi proves his devotion by confronting his roommates and publicly claiming Alfha as his partner. The story concludes with a real, heartfelt proposal in the same office where they met—no longer as manager and intern, but as equals. The "Manager’s Promise" is finally fulfilled, leading to their real-life marriage.

Honey? Last night he already threw a divorce agreement at her, what right does he have to call her that? In City A, Gu Qingchen is a long-lasting legend. He is a leading figure in the medical field and a major shareholder in a Fortune 500 company, capable of great influence in the business world. He only needed an obedient wife. Bei Ran was so 'obedient' that he never had to worry. The four-year marriage was just a matter of agreement, but who is the one lingering endlessly after the divorce? She accidentally fell into water at a wedding she was hosting, he said: "Beg me, you know I'm always responsive to your demands!" "Gu Qingchen, we're divorced!" Bei Ran couldn't stand it anymore! He laughed coldly: "Bei Ran, we've been married for four years, you have a five-year-old daughter, do you really want to die here?" Bei Ran was shocked, he knew? Would he fight her for her daughter? Gu Qingchen could never have imagined that the chubby little bun in front of him was actually his biological daughter! "Bei Ran, you hid it from me for five years, always flawlessly obedient before me, tell me, how should I punish you?" Gu Qingchen raised a bloodthirsty smile. Could she possibly not tell him there is also a son who looks just like him! Theater Version: The teacher informed Bei Ran that her son had used a scalpel in school to investigate the cause of death of poisoned small animals. Her daughter was causing a stir in school with her stock trading. In her anger, she said, "No one to take you to school today, take the bus yourselves." The daughter sought help from Gu Qingchen but got no response, so she said: "Yesterday, a pretty aunt stayed in Dad's office for an hour, and her skirt was super short." The twins truly had a shared understanding; the son said: "The station manager hugged Mom yesterday, even kissed her cheek, and said he would never let go!" Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen spoke in unison: "Trying to sow discord, you're still too naive, go to school yourselves!" The siblings shouldered their backpacks and went to take the bus, while the couple returned to the bedroom, closing the door behind them. She leapt onto him, her fiery temper on full display: "You actually stayed with that woman for an entire hour?" He was overbearingly domineering: "Damn it, which part of you did he kiss, I will seal his mouth with a scalpel!"
