Chosen by The Alpha King Chapter 24 Ann's Arrival.
(Ariel's POV)I was taken to a guest room upstairs by Ann. As I thought, the windows were rooms and I got a room facing the back of the palace. Ann moved and parted the velvet curtains until some light streamed into the room. Outside the windows, there were guards on patrol. I counted about four. They had a gun slung across their body. The fence was so high, I would have difficulty climbing it. I might even get caught. I looked further, there was a black gate, it was smaller than the gigantic structure called city gate at the entrance of the compound.I could make out two forms, I was guessing they belonged to Elijah's guards. I wondered how many guards he had and I am sure if I totaled them I would count at least 15. I shuddered at the thought of being caught by these men. And every one of them had muscles that could scare the shit out of a kid.I looked down and I noticed the distance between the floor and my room was too wide. I was likely to break a leg if I fell off from this hei

(Ariel's POV)Sighing, I woke up, the weight of uncertainty pressing on my chest. I turned to Elijah. "What was the outcome of your discussion with the elders? What is my fate now?" His fingers caressed my skin, igniting sensations I had never experienced, but I refused to let myself become accustomed to this."Humans are slaves, and you know this. There's no way werewolves would allow slaves to rule them," I told him, a moan nearly escaping as his fingers brushed against my nipples, sending shivers through me.I contemplated what would happen if Elijah claimed me. It would shatter the pride of the werewolves and tarnish their reputation. I could envision their wrath directed at me, their creative tortures. I couldn't let that happen. I looked eagerly at Elijah, waiting for his response.He regarded me sharply, his eyes darkening. I could almost taste his anger, but I was determined to hold my ground. His rage would not kill me."Nobody—nobody—will help me make this decision. Nobody h

(Elijah's POV)I knew what my uncle found out and I think that was why he was here.The council was under Lucian's thumb, he was the ruler and so every member of the council obeyed him. That was why the council hindered every decision I made, and every move I made.I am wild. I hate being restrained, I hated the feeling of being caged, I loved to fly, I loved to be allowed to fly the height I wanted. This was the reason I agreed to find my mate. Finding my mate was on the way to get out of his control and I wanted to get out of Lucian's control. His restraints were beginning to suffocate me.In Lucian's plan he wanted to stuff the Council's daughter down my throat. He wanted me to marry her. And if I allowed him, he would only have one more spy on his side. Letting my uncle put a leash on me was something I will not let happen.I will not allow him to shove his control down my throat. Maybe he thought I did not know the evil he had committed behind the perfect uncle mask he always wor

(Ariel's POV)I was woken up early in the morning by Ann. We had to get to work, today was the day for Elijah's selection that was to be broadcasted live and we needed to prepare. The broadcast would show all the aspects of the royal life including the palace and we needed to clean and get everywhere and everything tidy and ready.Nothing made me happier than this selection. It meant Elijah had finally given up on me and was going to pick a better Luna. Just as long as I was no longer his mate, I was happy.I was cleaning the large hall when someone poured water all over the place I had just cleaned. I looked up sharply, it was a female and she was a wolf. "Go ahead, clean the floor, that is all you are good at." She taunted me. She went a tad to throw the bottle in her hand to the floor, "Pick it up, human or should I say maid." Her lips curved to one side. I was burning with fury. "You see, being a maid fits you and that is all you are good at. Oh, you thought you would be the Luna

(Ariel's POV)While I am still getting over my shock, Don re-entered the room. During my time here, I didn't even see these siblings to get together. Others would've doubt if they're really close. But I sighed. Ann and her brother Don, the beta almost never meet up due to their different ranks and work schedule. After all, Don was always out for work with Elijah."I came back to ask how you are doing, Ann," Don asked his sister."I am doing well and how are you doing too?" Ann asked him back, smiling as usual."Very well, thank you." I almost laugh at how rigid the beta is. This is your sister for crying out loud, I facepalmed myself internally."Do take care of your health too. Take your necessary meds and don't forget to ask for me when necessary.""I won't. Take care of your own health and avoid injuries often. Your cheek looks bruised already, stay away from anything that will injure you, Ann." My breath hitched as he talked about her cheek, I loved that he was concerned about her

(Elijah's POV)I was surprised by Ariel's thoughts. Her way of thinking was unique and caught me off guard, I found it very interesting. Every day I was bombarded with reasons to be glad I found her. She made life more interesting and I planned on keeping her by my side for a really long while.I mulled over her thoughts and remembered what my cousin, Vincent, had said about humans. Vincent never believed that humans needed excessive protection no matter how weak they seemed. He saw the strength in the seemingly weak humans. He spoke up for humans often and sometimes I did not understand why he did it but now I did.My gaze fell on Ariel and for once I saw what he meant. I recognized their strength. Perhaps I had been too stubborn with this one. I shook my head. I had a lot of things to work on. It amused me how a human had made me rethink something I had believed in for years, she even made me begin to think in a different dimension too. I felt elated and energized for what was to co

(Elijah's POV)After giving instructions to my guards on patrol. I strolled into the house and headed towards the boy's quarter to meet Vincent. It had been a while since I last saw Vincent and it was good to have him back. I wouldn't even have known that he was back if it weren't for Don to spot him, sneaking back into the mansion.Vincent had been very helpful to me. He had been out there moving pack by pack and getting me all the intel on all the Alphas of each pack. Vincent was very handy, he had even gone undercover with the rebels getting necessary information for me. But just the day before he was due to penetrate the Moonstone Park, he suddenly went missing.I tried to find out what kind of danger he could have encountered but I was unsuccessful. I didn't know what danger he is in or how he entered such danger that made him disappear but his words on the last phone call we had just before he disappeared spoke about him falling in love with a human.I was not surprised though.

(Elijah's POV)I got to the door of the boy's quarters and knocked before pushing the door open.Vincent was lying on his back, his phone above his face, as heard at the door. I think he was waiting for whoever was behind the door to come in. Immediately he saw me, he sat up.Nodding slightly at me, "Elijah, You are back already. Welcome, your beta informed me you were out with your mate and so I came in here. I did not expect you back though." I could see the amusement twinkling in his eyes as he mentioned my mate."We left quite early, so it is not a surprise that we are back now," I said, keeping my face neutral, I refused to smile.Vincent rose from the bed looking at me warily, I knew I had caught him off guard with my neutral face, he fidgeted with his phone. He covered his right hand with his left hand and stretched out his right hand for a handshake.I almost lost my composure then, "Your Highness!" He greeted, his back slightly bent. I reached out with my right hand and took

Chosen by The Alpha King Chapter 87: Teaching Emily A Lesson.
(Ariel's POV)I hummed a tune as I got dressed for the day. I was excited to show my marksmanship, especially to the people who had not seen me in action ever but underestimated me. The look of shock and awe on their faces would make my day.I whistled and moved my hips to the tune I was humming while I brushed looking at myself in the mirror. I felt giddy.I spat out the spittle in my mouth and gazed at myself in the mirror. “You are amazing,” I hailed myself.“You are beautiful. You are smart. You are the brightest. See the adoration in their eyes because of your awesome talent. You are powerful.” I continued to hail myself looking directly at myself through the mirror.My cheeks high, my head straight, my face stoic, and my words firm.Truly, I felt powerful. Today was my day, it felt good to do something you excelled effortlessly at. I was looking forward to the shooting round. I may not know a lot of things but I understood weapons.I knew each gun just by looking at them, I iden

(Ariel's POV)I woke up to Elijah cleaning me up tenderly, my hands were no longer bound. He was drawing soothing lines over the rope mark, washing it with soap, and willing the marks to disappear.I sighed contentedly and leaned into him as he washed me. His hands massaged my shoulders gently, I was really sore and I let out a moan.“If you keep moaning like that, I would be tempted to take you here and now,” Elijah's husky voice whispered in my ear.I stiffened, I had enjoyed the sex, allowing myself to indulge in the passion and enjoy it but I was not ready for another one. I was too sore. So I tried to contain the moan that threatened to break out of my lips. Elijah was too gentle in washing me and it was making me feel so good.I relaxed and enjoyed his care. I felt helpless against Elijah’s childish attitude towards anger. The moment he was jealous or angry he showed it by trying to mark me and dominate me with sex. I was helpless against his behavior.But I wouldn't deny that t

(Elijah's POV)It's been a few weeks since I saw Ariel. I missed her so much. Dealing with the whole assassination thing was taking up my time. Each day I had lots of work on my desk and I hadn't been able to go see her.I missed her smile, I missed her body, I missed sex with her. I was craving her touch. Tomorrow was the day of her match but I needed to see her today.So I cleared up my desk early, pushing aside the rest of the work. The Moonstone file glared at me, calling for me to attend to it but I closed it right back and left to go see her.Thoughts of her riddled me as I walked down the hallway, my wolf was excited to see her, he whistled a happy tune in my head, and my body was excited to finally see her and have a proper conversation with her. Well, I hoped I would have a proper conversation with her.Every time we attempted to have a decent conversation, we always ended up with one of us angry. I knew it was bound to happen but I hoped it would be different. A man can hope

(Ariel's POV)The postponement of the contest also gave me ample time to recuperate. I had been worried about how I would perform in casts or with limps. It did not help that I had overheard some people talking and they said the next round would be shooting practice.I hoped my leg would be properly healed before the next contest. Shooting was my forte, my knowledge of weapons gave me an advantage and so I was looking forward to this section. I did not want anything to jeopardize my winning chances.25 days later, my leg was fully healed. I could stretch it, walk without limping, run, and put the whole pressure on that foot without wincing or hissing in pain. My leg was completely healed.“I am damn excited that my leg is completely healed now,” I told Raven, flexing my ankle, my cheeks turned up very high in a smile.“I am happy for you, mi lady.” She handed me a branch of the rose flower she had plucked and curtsied while at it, we laughed together.The echoes of our laughter resoun

(Vincent's POV)“I am here to escort Ariel back to her room,” I announced the moment I entered the office. Although my gaze was intent on Ron, I could feel Ariel roll her eyes. Her antics amused me.“Your eyes would soon fall off with the amount of time you roll them,” I told her. She muttered incoherent words under her breath and I chuckled.I did not mind riling her up every once in a while, I did not get the opportunity often.I had rushed here the moment my investigation had clicked that Ron was part of the resistance. He was connected in more ways than one with the resistance.It did not surprise me, I was wary and hesitant when Elijah suggested that he bring him in as Ariel's personal physician. I did not dissuade him but I did share my reluctance with him.But Elijah wanted someone he knew and someone that Ariel could be safe with after the near-assassination experience. I believed that nobody was worth trusting or was even safe to be with at the moment. Everybody was a damn su
Chosen by The Alpha King Chapter 82: Elijah's Arrangement.
“What did you say you are doing here?” I asked Ron again when the initial shock wore off.He sighed. “Elijah arranged for me to be here,” he dropped another bombshell.“Elijah arranged for you to be here?” I asked in confusion, almost shrieking. That thought felt absurd, what was Elijah thinking?“Yes, due to your injury. He said he wanted you to recuperate in a quiet and comfortable environment.” He replied.The wheels of my mind began to turn, so that was why Elijah did not let me stay back in my room or go to the infirmary for this treatment. No wonder he had insisted that I get a new primary care physician.It still did not make sense to me that he chose Ron to be my primary physician. Wasn't he always jealous of Ron? What happened? What changed?Something felt suspicious and not knowing what it was kept me agitated.“Come and sit down, so I can examine the wound.” Ron patted the small bed in his office.I hesitantly climbed the bed with difficulty refusing his help, my movement a

(Ariel's POV)Ten minutes after I'd woken up, I still lay in bed with my eyes open, I was still tired. I allowed my mind wander to the conversation I had with Vincent the night before. My eyes followed every object I could see in the room but I did not sit up.Another ten minutes later and I stretched my body finally ready to step out of the bed. I sat up and looked around, adjusting my body to the new day. I was a little disoriented.My ankle throbbed and I hissed in pain, rubbing soothing circles around it. Gently, I dragged myself off the bed and into the bathroom. I took my bath, making sure water did not touch my wound and then I gently re-dressed my wound. I popped a few pain killers to get rid of the pain I woke up with.When I was done, I headed towards Raven's room to check on her. I had been in severe pain yesterday plus Vincent and Elijah did not leave my room so I was not able to check on her.I felt bad that I had not checked on her and her wound until now so I hastened m

(Ariel's POV)As soon as Vincent walked out with a heavy face, Elijah entered his face wary, glancing between me and Vincent's back curiously.“Am I missing something?” Elijah asked, looking curious.I shook my head, “Nothing.”“Why did he leave with that expression then?”“I don't know. It's nothing.”Elijah stared at me warily and then shrugged, “It did not look like nothing to me.” He muttered very lowly, I almost did not catch on.“We found your assassin's,” Elijah informed me.I perked up, “Really, did you find out who sent them?” I asked genuinely interested in knowing who must have wanted me out of the way. I was certain the killers came for me and Raven was just unfortunate to be with me at that time.Elijah frowned, “No. I was still in the process when they killed themselves,” My face scrunched up in confusion.Elijah stared into space, his face bristled with unleashed anger, “I was interrogating them when they just began to bleed to death. Turns out, they had a pill in their

(Ariel's POV)I sat frozen and unmoving, my hand trembled lightly as I pondered on Vincent's question.“I want to know about your father.”The statement kept running in my mind even in my immobile state. I refused to acknowledge the question, what did he want with my father?I was not expecting the question, what had my near death had to do with my father? I had barely survived from the ruckus earlier and here he was questioning me about a man who had since died.It kept me on edge. Why did he ask about him all of a sudden? I thought about what we had been discussing.‘Yes, we were just discussing his reasons for appearing in the palace today.’ I thought. So how did the conversation include my father?I paid him no attention, my mouth shut, as I looked around the room instead, my eyes falling everywhere but in Vincent. I felt his gaze sharply piercing, waiting for an answer.And when I could not stand it anymore, I bent under his gaze.“What do you want with him?” I managed to ask.“I
