FROM REJECTED TO BECOMING THE ALPHA KING'S OBSESSION Chapter 15
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

LUCIAN BLACKTHORNIf there was anything I never wanted was to be apart from my mate, even if it was for a second. The matebond had a way of messing with one's mind and emotions. I'd promised myself to stay away from her since I discovered many mysteries surrounding my mate and her mysterious relationship with Arnold and Garrick.I promised myself I'd keep my distance, at least until the Queen Selection was over, and she realized we were mates. That was the only way I could trust her. The Lannisters were only a fraction of the people who wanted me dead. I had plenty of enemies who were after my throne and would want me dead. I'd been able to survive this long, by surrounding myself with a small circle of people I could trust. And I wished Ayla would be one of them. She was my mate and will be my Queen. So I needed her to be on my side.Hopefully, after I returned tonight, I'd be able to get through to her and make her trust me enough to be honest with me. Tonight would determine if the

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

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

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'
