FROM REJECTED TO BECOMING THE ALPHA KING'S OBSESSION Chapter 12
AYLA BAILORE I was in pain all over as I stepped out of the large hall. I had barely touched my dinner, I had no appetite, not with everything that happened today. I had almost died but yet made it to the next round along with eleven other contenders, including, Lara, Maddie, and that bitch, Mia. I left the mansion, taking a stroll. I had no idea how I'd gotten so far to the garden, but somehow I was pleased. The garden was beautiful, whoever was taking care of these flowers was doing a pretty good job. I limped closer to the rose flower, plucking one, ignoring the cut from its thorns. They were beautiful flowers, yet dangerous. Just like the Estonia flower. A cold chill ran down my spine just remembering the nightmares I was trapped in. It was so strange and at the same time felt so real with Esmira there and that dark shadow that swallowed me up. Frankly, I might have been dead if Lucian had come to rescue me a second later. I felt a tightness in my chest at the reminder the K

AYLA BAILORE Lying to the Alpha King was dangerous. It was stupid and the worst mistake ever. But none of that mattered right now, not when my body was so paralyzed with shock and tears filled my eyes as I watched Lucian fight off the rogues. A fear like no other gripped my chest at the thought of something bad happening to him. With another swipe of the King's wolf claw, one of the rogue wolves fell to the ground, just as a few wolves hurried to where we were, and without hesitating, Lucian's wolf tore apart the other wolf, detaching its head from its body, bathing the air and the trees in blood.Immediately the other wolves shifted back to their human form and so did Lucian who took the shorts that were passed to him by one of his warriors.Luckily, I found the strength to get up from the ground, pinning myself to a tree, hoping with all my might I could just vanish, but that was impossible, not with Lucian's dark gaze on me.“Spread out, make a clean sweep of the entire borders.

AYLA BAILORE Eden's fingers wrapped around my arm, as she pulled me down the hallway, the next turn we took led us to my room. She held me tighter, her fingernails digging deep into my flesh as she pushed me hard into my room.I snatched my hand from her rough hold, now rubbing the reddened bruised skin. I turned to face her. “What is the—”Before I could finish my sentence, I felt the harsh impact of her hand against my cheek and with her hand around my throat, she pulled me against the wall.“I know why you're here bitch?” Her hold tightened. “Lucian may not see through you but I can. Whatever voodoo spell you've cast on him ends now,” She leaned closer, while I struggled hard to breathe. Every attempt I made to push her off was futile. “You're nothing but a whore, that I know. Stay clear off Lucian, get out of here while you still can or I'll ruin you in ways you cannot imagine, wolfless runt,”Her last words made me freeze, my eyes went round and my struggle against her ceased as

AYLA BAILORE My heart was beating fast and hard in my chest, and for a split second I was confused, I didn't know what to do. This crystal stone right here could be the solution to all my problems. With it, I could strike a deal with Arnold to get out of the Selection contest, and I could get Emily back and we'd disappear, travel maybe West,, and keep a low profile for the rest of our lives. The thought of that alone was too tempting.I dropped the lamp on the closest table, taking careful strides closer to the glass stand holding the crystal stone. The more I stepped closer, the more I was hit with its ethereal glow. It was beautiful. Almost spellbinding as though it was calling out to me, begging me to reach for it. I felt like I was being compelled, all I wanted to do was feel it in my hands.I lifted my finger, reaching out to it, its glow almost blinding and I could feel its warmth already, but just as I tried to touch it, I realized it was impossible.I tried again, and my hand

AYLA BAILORE I breathed in deeply, then exhaled, trying my hardest to stop this mild trembling in my bones, and the reckless nervousness that was ever growing.“Your majesty,” I curtsied, giving myself just those few seconds to get my act in order. A smile found on my lips as I met Garrick's wide grin. The pool of darkness beneath his eyes taunting me.Garrick moved closer to stand beside Lucian as he greeted Dane, before shifting his dark eyes on me. “And you must be Ayla Bailore, I am Alpha Garrick of the Red River Pack,” He introduced, pulling his hand up for a shake.“It's nice meeting you,” I took his hand, ignoring the slivers of emotions that seeped into my soul. And I hated the familiar sparks and desire that burned through me at the contact. It made me slightly nauseous. As much as I hated the man before me, I couldn't fight the mate bond. “And I shall head back to the mansion, it's getting late and I am already tired as it is,” I sent Dane a smile, before bowing my head be

LUCIAN BLACKTHORN I sighed in frustration, pulling away from Ayla, and keeping enough distance between us, but that alone wasn't enough to get the smell of her delicate blend of vanilla and jasmine with a hint of lemony freshness out of my system. This was torture, and worse, she didn't even feel the bond because she didn't have a wolf. It scared me to think about the possibility that she may never get her wolf, and never realize we were fated for each other. I had asked Triss to look into Ayla's condition and I have yet to get feedback. But until we figured out what was wrong with her wolf, I had to keep her safe and well. I almost lost it a few days ago when she was attacked in my own territory. Ayla could have lost her life if I hadn't gotten to her at the precise moment. She could have been dead.This wasn't the first time unidentified wolves crossed into my territory. They smelled like eastern rogues but belonged to a pack. Someone was controlling them, and there can be only o

AYLA BAILOREIt was evening and we had just five minutes left before the challenge officially began. I escaped the crowd needing some time to myself for a minute.For today's challenge, I was dressed in a dark blue leather vest and a pale blue tank top. Navy leather pants completed the look, along with tall boots that reached my knees and a bow and bag of arrows strapped to my back. Lucian was right, I could already tell today's challenge would be far more dangerous than the last, and I wasn't even sure how I'd survive it.I shut my eyes, leaning deeper into the tree as I took deep breaths to calm myself. My eyes were shut when my next breath carried the musky smell of rosewood. Garrick. My spine stiffened and my eyes snapped open as I felt his heated breath against my skin. In one swift move, he turned me around and pinned me against the tree, pressing his body against mine so that I could feel every inch of him. I felt the sparks I hated so much come alive.“Alone at last, little m

AYLA BAILOREConsciousness tugged at me, but I was too tired to get up. I heard a rustling sound to my left. Someone was here. I opened my eyes, breathing deeply. I was in bed, with familiar white satin sheets in my large room in the royal mansion. For a second my body felt like it'd been run over by a car, then it all came rushing to me. The challenge. Lara being unconscious and then the magical horse.I turned left and found Lucian leaning against the wall close to the window. He wore his usual cold, expressionless mask, just watching me. “How are you feeling?”“Okay, though my head hurts like hell,” I tried to get up when I felt something on my forehead. A stone-like crystal. I was about to ask what it was when I noticed I was wearing a thin black lace slip. “Who changed me?”Lucian stepped forward, brows raised, expression dark but unreadable. “You almost died, and that is the first thing you ask about?” I rose up, leaning against the headrest, inhaling his heady winter forest s

TRISS LANNISTER “Hello, sister,”I drew in a shuddery breath as my hand flew to my lips in disbelief.“Devoss?” I whispered as a series of emotions rammed through me. It'd been years since I laid eyes on him. He'd never been one to stay in one place, especially not here in the North, always on the move from one region to the other. It didn't matter as long as there was even a fraction of hope that he could find our little sister or at least prove she was still alive.“It's good to see you again, Triss,” At his words, I lunged forward, wrapping my arms around him and I wasn't surprised he leaned in. Devoss had taken my decision to join Lucian's coven quite better than the others.“It's good to see too, brother,” We took solace in his warmth even if it was just for a minute before we pulled apart and my eyes locked with those gray eyes. “What are you doing here?”“Our brother played himself right into another's plans. What he gave Ayla wasn't poison. But someone took advantage of it, a

TRISS LANNISTER It'd been hours. Long frustrating hours I locked myself in the spell room in the witches’ quarters. I have tried every spell, and gone through every book of witches. But nothing. There was no possible way to figure out what the colorless, tasteless poison was.I had extracted a few drops of whatever poison was found in Lucian's spilled drink, and the little glass bottle found in Ayla's room with my magic. It also matched what I extracted from the bodies of our warriors who were murdered. It was no doubt the same poison.But what I couldn't figure out was what poison it was exactly. There were many poisons out there, and it was almost impossible to not discover their roots or origin, especially through magic, but this one was an exception. All the more reason I did not believe Ayla had anything to do with the murders.Yes, she may have laced something in the King's drink. According to Lucian, she confessed to that much, although Lucian had kept that confession between

AYLA BAILOREMy brows crinkled. Frankly, I was completely lost, as I scrambled my brain trying to figure out who this man was. I had never met him before, and the look Lucian was giving me told me I should at least know him.“Apologies for coming late. You have the wrong culprit behind bars. Ayla Bailore, she's innocent,” He said, and my heart skipped a beat only for a moment. At least someone else also believed I didn't do it.Lucian pulled up from his chair, his eyes were dark, and not one of the emotions he had shown me earlier was on his face as he turned to face the man. I could feel the palpable tension that crackled in the air, even Lucian's men that had entered with the man were on high alert. It made me wonder just who he was.“Alpha Alexander,” Lucian almost growled out as he called the unfamiliar man's name and that was when it hit me. He was the Alpha of the Iron Claw Pack. Had Arnold sent him here? I wasn't sure what his being here meant for me. I had heard stories from W

ALEXANDER LANNISTERI always knew it. I fucking knew it. That one day that hot-blooded brother of mine was going to be the death of all of us. I was seething with rage, hell, I swear I was going to murder him myself once I saw him.I marched into the mansion, with the only seemingly reasonable brother of mine, Devoss, stalking straight to my office. It'd been weeks since I last walked these hallways. I had urgent matters to tend to so I had to travel South to meet Devoss leaving Arnold in charge of the pack. And that was a fucking mistake. Given his anger issues and unstable history, I should have known he was a fucking time bomb waiting to blow off. Unfortunately, this time he planned on taking us all with him.As I reached my office, I dismissed the two witches guarding the doors. They belonged to the coven in the Iron Claw Pack, the same coven my maternal witch grandmother led during her time.Once we stepped in, I found the fucking brother of mine pacing through the large office,

LUCIAN BLACKTHORN Blackness snuffed out my vision as I stormed out of the dungeon, marching towards my office, fuming with so much rage. No, it was worse than that. I couldn't possibly begin to identify the myriad of emotions bubbling through me, and the worse part was I hadn't gotten a fucking name from Ayla. “The Supreme heads have gathered,” Eden burst through from only the goddess knew where matching my strides as I made my way to the door of my office. “The inner court is also present. Everyone is waiting for you—” “Not now!” I didn't even spare her a glance, I was on the verge of losing it and Nero wasn't even helping matters. “Everything points to her. The poison was found in her things, the same poison that was in your drink, and the very same that had murdered our warriors—” I reached for the doorknob, losing what little was left of my control I had left, breaking it from the door. “A fucking minute, Eden!” I growled, my eyes glowing my usual golden and the emerald gree

AYLA BAILORE“I know you're a spy,” Lucian tapped his fingers against his glass before placing it down on a small table close to him. “I remember the night you snuck into my bedroom, Ayla. Anyone who dared attempt what you did would have had his head ripped out the second he was caught but with you…” He gazed intensely into my eyes before he shook his head as if deciding against something. “I never saw sense in why Esmira insisted on a Queen Selection contest, but now I do. Maybe this was the goddess way of bringing you to me. I know nothing I say would make sense now, not until you get your wolf. But Ayla, I want you to know you can trust me,” He bridged the distance between us, cupping my face in his hands. “I don't know what your relationship is with Arnold, and I know it can't be good. But I swear by the moon, I'd never hurt you. I wish you could feel the extent of what you mean to me. Arnold don't do anything without an ulterior motive, tell me what's going on. Let me help you,”

AYLA BAILORE My fingers trembled as I wrapped them around the small object. My heart was already in my throat. “Tonight?”He nodded, picking up his drink. And I wondered just how he could plot to kill the King in the middle of a party with so many wolves around. Despite the blasting music that made it impossible for any wolf's hearing to eavesdrop on our conversation, Arnold didn't strike me as a person who was so careless.“And how am I supposed to do that?” I tried to calm myself.“Simple. Empty the contents into the King's drink tonight, and—”“I mean, get that close to the King. He's always around people, and if something happens to him with me around I'd be the first suspect,”“You're forgetting I have spies in the kingdom and according to my sources, the King was in your bedroom throughout the night. That tells me you can get close enough. Remember this isn't a choice, you and Emily's life are on the line so you choose, whose life matters more,”My hands tightened and I couldn'

AYLA BAILORE I was just leaving my room for the first time since morning. After Lucian left I hadn't gone back to sleep, I couldn't even if I wanted to, not with every thought of mine wondering what Lucian had to say to me, even worse, ask of me. I needed to speak to Arnold fast. And find out how Emily was doing despite Garrick's threat. And I needed to get my head out of my thoughts and think about how I'd get into the Stone room tonight during the ball. This was my only chance. Apparently, the Stone room would be opened during the ball while the magical precious orbs we had collected from the forest would be kept safely there, so the perfect opportunity to sneak in and check if the goddess stone was there. I couldn't completely believe everything Triss said about the stone being lost, Arnold seemed to be certain that the stone was in the palace. So I had to give it a try, the stone could solve my problems with Arnold and get Emily and me successfully out of the North.I wasn't s

TRISS LANNISTER Acacia picked up her cup of tea. “You know just because it feels like an ancient matter, that doesn't mean everyone has forgotten about it. The words are still very much imprinted on the stones,”The very same words that King Eric had obsessed over. The same words had filled him with greed and hunger for powers that weren't meant for him and even now everyone was still paying the price for his cruel actions.“Everyone remembers Triss. Many are still searching. Power, and magic, are two things that corrupt even the purest of souls. Just like the words on the stones. She's like a gem they'll all seek for different reasons. So precious everyone would want to claim. That's her destiny,”“You speak in the present tense, Acacia. She's gone, just like Cora, and Brad,” I said, ignoring the whispers in my head.“Even you don't believe that,” She sipped her drink so calmly like we were talking about the weather, or deciding on what our lunch would be, and not something as serio
