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,”

  • FROM REJECTED TO BECOMING THE ALPHA KING'S OBSESSION    Chapter 25

    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

    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,

    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

    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 BAILORE“So good… faster Alpha… Harder,” She moaned loudly, and in response to her demand, the slapping of naked bodies became more audible.I held the rag tightly in my hands, rubbing against the wall, refusing to back at them. I couldn't even if I wanted to. The pain in my bones was too much to bear, but it was nothing compared to the torment in my soul.I couldn't stop the sob that escaped my throat, and the tears that followed after.“You take me so good,” Garrick moaned, thrusting deeper and faster into the woman he was fucking. She was just another one of them, his randoms or whores. Whichever way he decided to call it.My hands balled tightly and I couldn't take the pain anymore. My knees buckled and I collapsed on the tiles, writhing in immense pain from the mate bond. Yes, he was my fated mate. Alpha Garrick of the Red River Pack was the wolf the goddess decided was the right choice for me. The man who was supposed to be my better other half. Who was supposed to love me

    AYLA BAILOREAs usual, I was given a ton of work to do during the ceremony. But that didn't stop the plans we made to escape. Emily should already be waiting for me at a hidden spot close to the pack's border.I glanced around the kitchen as soon as I was done washing the dirty dishes. The ceremony just ended and most of the pack members were still having fun and enjoying the after-party including Alpha Garrick.This was my chance to slip out without anyone noticing me. Hopefully, by the time Garrick discovered I was missing, Emily and I would be long gone.I successfully made my way out of the kitchen and took the quickest route into the woods that would take me to the pack borders.It wasn't easy running with my legs, I bet it'd be much easier if I had my wolf. Luckily I found Emily just in time with our small bag.We made our way to the end of the pack, avoiding patrolling guards. Security was not as tight at the pack borders and I sent a thanks to the Moon goddess. Then we ran, u

    AYLA BAILORE This was wrong. A bad idea. And it was going to be my end. I had all these thoughts as I was seated in a beautiful room and these women sent by Arnold dressed me up with the most expensive clothing and jewelry. They had even done my hair and applied some makeup.Now staring at myself in the mirror, I couldn't recognize myself. I looked different. I looked…“...Beautiful,” Arnold's deep voice startled me from behind. I jerked involuntarily, and my eyes instantly connected with his through the mirror.He cocked his head sideways, staring at me. “I knew I never made a wrong choice,” He smiled darkly. “Preparations have been made. And prospective she wolves have started making their way into the palace. We are late as it is, but I guess, it's the perfect way to make a grand entrance,” He said, but I remained quiet, having a feeling he had more to say. “I've made the right changes. You'll keep your name. Ayla Bailor of the Iron Claw Pack,” He added, and I couldn't stop the g

    AYLA BAILORE I threw quick glances around but I couldn't find where the voice had come from. Or had it been my imagination?Before I could speak, I heard a sudden movement behind me and turned just in time to see a tall figure of a man stepping out from the flowers. I glanced around for a second, before bringing my attention back to him. Has he always been there?“They are not the cause of your problem, you know, and certainly not the reason you clumsily fell from up there. Someone dedicated their sweet time in raising those,” He lifted his finger, pointing at my hand and the ground.To my surprise, I was gripping a bunch of delicate flowers together in my grip, I'd even uprooted a few, I didn't even know. I'd been so caught up in my own thoughts that I… I paused suddenly, sending a quick glance at him.“I'm sorry about the flowers, but I wasn't clumsy and definitely didn't fall because I wanted to. Someone pushed me—”He cut me off with a sharp, annoying chuckle. “Because you were

    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

    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
