Alpha King's Caged Mate Chapter 51 Night in Cottage
AIDENWhen Steven Caddel and I finished our talk about the goings-on in Windsburn Island, it was very late. Night had already fallen and the sky outside of the Caddel’s cottage window was a deep, dark blue. The sky was dotted with stars and the moon cast silver rays below.Though it made me sad to leave the family’s home, I knew I needed to sneak back to the castle. I was worried to jinx it, but I wondered if the servant I had changed clothes with and tied up had been found.I certainly hoped not because otherwise, I would have to make up an excuse to satisfy the official’s questions. I knew he would inquire where I’d gone and there was no way I could betray the Caddels and the miners I’d spoken to today.Steven told me that Frederick was quite literally the spokesman of the Fox family on this half-enclosed island.“To put it more bluntly, that man is practically this island’s ‘king’,” the one-proud leader of the Caddels said bitterly about the official. “He executes the orders from H
Alpha King's Caged Mate Chapter 52 They came to kill
AIDENEverything happened in a flash.Charlotte and Emma were awakened by the sound of shattered glass and jumped, a fearful scream coming from the little girl’s mouth as her mother shielded her. Steven rushed over to the bed to protect his wife and daughter, meanwhile, I sprang into action.I didn’t hesitate as I lunged at the black figure and tackled him to the ground. We hit with a sudden thud, my body crying out from the force, but only for a moment.My canine teeth elongated on instinct, my nails sharpening to claws as I pinned the intruder down. He was taller and broader than I was, but that didn’t matter to me. I’d taken down men larger than him with ease, and he would be no different.“Who are you?” I snarled but the figure didn’t reply. He didn’t seem to care about answering me, opting only to thrash and attempt to push me off of him. I held firm, my claws sinking through his sleeve and into his skin. He growled in pain but uttered nothing more as he continued to buck.Just f
Alpha King's Caged Mate Chapter 53 He couldn't die
AIDENPain coursed through me like lightning, so intense that I nearly sank to my knees in shock. It came in waves, my vision blurring slightly as I nearly passed out, but I managed to override the pain. As the guard removed the blade, I spun around and kicked him with all of my might. He was knocked out cold.“Go!” Steven demanded again as he shook the two men holding his arms off. “Their target is you. We’ll be all right. You have to get out of here now!”I knew from the pain and the blood pouring down my shirt that my shoulder was deeply wounded. I needed to go if I didn’t want to die, but I couldn’t just leave them behind again.“Who’d take care of Evelyn if you die?” Steven questioned with a bellow. “You made a promise!”He reached my side and managed to kick away an approaching guard. “There’s a way out through the woods. Go straight there, use your surroundings to hide you. You’ll have to rely on your senses but you can do it, Aiden. Now, go, before you lose your chance!”I cle
Alpha King's Caged Mate Chapter 54 Farewell
EVELYN“This is horrific,” Leila whispered to me as the portrait painter bent to wash his brush. Her long-lashed golden-brown eyes rolled dramatically as she rubbed her shoulders and stretched her legs.I wanted to reassure her or at the very least reply, but before I had the chance, the painter quickly straightened his back and scowled at Leila.“Lady Leila, please hold your position and don't move,” he said firmly, annoyance in his tone as he returned to his canvas.Leila grimaced and then resumed her posture, a forced smile on her full lips.“Sorry,” she muttered.It had been two days since Georgina Madden’s death, and Anastasia Elrod decided the best way to cheer the ladies up and bring to an end the gloomy feeling in the palace was to invite an esteemed painter to do portraits of the ladies.The stout middle-aged painter was a man named Pierre, and though he didn’t look like much, he was the most popular and well-known portrait painter in Hescor.Apart from serving the royal fami
Alpha King's Caged Mate Chapter 55 Addison's questions
EVELYNMy stomach twisted into knots as I followed Addison into one of the meeting rooms. I hadn’t expected Leila to turn down the head of the Madden family’s request but I didn’t know what Addison wanted to talk about. Behind my back, I felt my hands start to sweatI hadn’t heard much about Addison before, even back when I was considered highborn. She was only five years older than me, but there was an aura about her that made her seem even more mature, older even. There was a sharpness in her eyes, a stillness in her posture.It made sense.Ruling over the entire Madden family at such a young age was quite an undertaking, and since they were in charge of the law and punishment in Hescor, it likely wasn’t an easy job. Anyone would seem cold if they were under as much pressure as she was.When we entered the room, Addison gestured forward.“Take a seat,” she instructed, and after I sat without question in the nearest chair, she elegantly lowered into the one opposite me. She didn’t sp
Alpha King's Caged Mate Chapter 56 The Madden Sisters
EVELYNI left my talk with Addison feeling strange in a way I couldn’t place. Why hadn’t the attacker killed me? And what had she been doing there in the first place?I had the sneaking suspicion that the head of the Madden family might have found something in this investigation but if she did, she didn’t let me know.“I would prefer if this conversation remained private between us,” she said before I left. “But if you want to tell the Alpha King, I won’t stop you.”I assured her upon my parting that I wouldn’t tell the King, and I was being truthful. I had no intention of relaying any of this information to Cole. In fact, I didn’t want to see him at all, not after what happened yesterday in his study.Every time I thought of him, I felt disoriented, like my mind and body competed with each other. There were too many opposing feelings and thoughts that I felt entirely on edge, giving me fewer and fewer reasons to want to be in his company.I wonder if he feels the same, I thought to m
Alpha King's Caged Mate Chapter 57 Death of King's Guard
COLEThough being the Alpha King of Hescor wasn’t always easy, there was something about this day in particular that made the position feel intolerable. I had never been so annoyed before and could hardly contain my irritation as I exploded at the guard standing before me in my private study.“What do you mean by you found nothing?” I shot a glare at him. “You found absolutely nothing on the grounds, no sign of the attacker among the staff? The attacker just disappeared into thin air?”I scoffed at the mere thought of such a thing. This was ridiculous beyond comprehension and my temper was rising with every passing second.The guard looked a bit terrified by my questioning. He lowered his head at once and hunched his back. “I’m sorry, Your Majesty-”“Are you sure you checked all the staff?” Flynn interrupted his groveling. “Was the investigation conducted to the best of your abilities?”“Yes, Beta Flynn,” the guard replied obediently, raising his eyes to meet his. “All the palace staf
Alpha King's Caged Mate Chapter 58 How to curb the fox
COLEAs a heavy silence hung in the room, I studied the guard carefully. I couldn’t yet tell if he was telling a lie or not. His tone said one thing but his words told another. I had little reason to believe that something like this had happened to my King’s Guard, and the fact that Lord Marcel was the one delivering this news to me was highly suspect.My temper swelled at the idea of being conned, but I breathed deeply and slowly, gradually calming down with every inhale and exhale. It would be useless to get riled up under circumstances like this, even though I wanted to rip the throats of the guard and Marcel. I had to stay level-headed so I could get to the bottom of this strange claim.Beside me, I noticed that Flynn’s posture had slumped slightly and that his lips were parted in disbelief. Shock was all over his face, and I was surprised by the display but unsurprised at the same time. Aiden, Flynn, and I were all quite close with one another, but my Guard and my Beta were espec
