THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 112 (SHE IS MY MATE)
ANNA’S POVThe hurt in my heart stopped and I felt everything within me freeze. My eyes blinked. It was as if the kiss reset something in my head and when he broke away and looked at my eyes and then said those words, my heart cracked.My soul felt confused. My anger was relenting but my head was still mushy from the kiss and as our eyes met, I did the very first thing my head could think of.I swiped my hand across his cheek and slapped him.“How dare you profess an emotion you know nothing about? How dare you play with that word like this?” I cried, not even caring that the dumbest man in the realm was looking into my eyes and causing all of these emotions deep within me while I cried.“I am not playing Anna. I mean every word I said—” I didn’t let him finish as I slapped him again.My head was becoming clearer and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. The more my wolf rejoiced at the confession, the more irritated I became.“You spend the night with her and then you co
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 113 (CUTE PROBLEMS)
ANNA’S POVPreparations for the ball began in the palace and my mind refused to get settled. There was something fishy about the whole arrangement that just didn’t sit right with me. Why would Lartes want my father here? It wasn’t even news that Lartes didn’t like me, so calling my father for a celebration that was totally uncalled for especially after the attack that happened, didn’t seem like a very smart thing to do…I was pacing around the room, trying to think of a way to get to my father before Lartes did but all means seemed blocked. I couldn’t reach him, and it was—My thoughts came to an abrupt stop as the smell of fresh white roses spread over my nose. My brows knitted and I turned around to find a large bouquet in my face.I followed the hands holding the bouquet and my eyes narrowed as they met with Xavier’s. “What’s the meaning of this?” I gritted as I glared at him.We had a major situation coming and all he could think of was to get me flowers at a time like this.“The
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 114 (FALLING IN LOVE)
XAVIER’S POVI could see in her eyes that she didn’t believe me. She didn’t trust me, but I was determined to make her see how much I meant the words I said to her.As soon as Anna left the room, I scurried out in the direction of the kitchen and called one of the maids.“Yes, my prince,” she said with a bow.“I need a bunch of jasmine flowers or lavenders; can I get them in our garden?” I asked. I had no idea what the flowers even looked like, if I did, I would have gone to the garden to find them myself.“I am sorry my prince, the king requested that all colored flowers be taken out. I am afraid we only have white lilies and white sunflowers,” she said, and my heart sank.“So, you have no idea where I can get lavenders and Jasmine?”She started shaking her head slowly and then stopped to smile. “Oh yes, the flower shop in town should have some. And I am sure it will be at a discounted price since most of the fresh samples he has come from the palace garden,” she said, and I wanted t
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 115 (LARTES FIRST MOVE)
ANNA’S POVMy heart was swelling with the sweet scent of the flowers and all I wanted to do in that moment was hug him and the flowers together, but I knew I had to stay in control. My father might need me, but I had to focus and take emotions out of my thoughts.“Thanks,” I mentioned, taking the flowers from him. I got up from the vanity chair and moved to the bedside table where he had placed the white roses and I fixed the jasmines in them. “But we should get going now…”Xavier came to stand by me and offered me his arm, “Sure, after you my lady,” he teased, and a small smile played on my lips.For the first time, I found his humor cute and not annoying even after all the tension I was put in. As our hands came into contact, a warmth filled me and for a few seconds, I forgot all about my problems and just took in the comfort his arms brought.When we got down to the hall, the music was already playing, and the place was packed with people from all over the kingdom. My heart was in
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 116 (THE REJECTION)
XAVIER'S POVThe whole idea of the party my uncle had organized was to cause either pain or humiliation to Anna and it was breaking my heart that she was letting it get to her.The moment we got to the hall, worry clouded her beautiful eyes as she searched for her father —which I was starting to believe Uncle Lartes had not even invited in the first place or he had something even more sinister planned.I tried my best to make her comfortable and forget about the issue at hand or even try not to show it so that my uncle wouldn't get the satisfaction he craved.Maybe it was working but the moment my uncle took the microphone and requested that I dance with Kira, I knew he was planning something crazy —and Anna was not going to handle it.If it was left to me, I wouldn't even have attended the party to begin with and when he requested that I dance with Kira, I would have declined but Anna made me do it.And now as I held the very clingy Kira on the dancefloor, I couldn't help but feel ir
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 117 (A DISCOVERY)
XAVIER’S POVHer response echoed in my head about a million times before my brain finally registered what it meant. I cocked my head to the side and forced a smile to appear on my face.This had to be a joke.Our relationship wasn’t very stable, but Anna wasn’t dumb. She would know I claimed her in front of everyone not just because I meant it but because I was also trying to defend her honor and dignity in front of my uncle and everyone…“What do you mean?” I whispered but my voice echoed in the hall and that was when I remembered that the damned microphone, I snatched from the men was still in my hands.Murmuring erupted amongst the people, and I could feel their eyes on me as they watched and stared at me with huge eyes. Some even started snickering but I still felt nothing. This had to be a mistake.Anna looked pale. Her eyes were glistening with unshed tears, and she was already on her feet. From my position —despite the distance— I could feel her breathing coming out rough and p
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 118 (THE HEART OF A PRINCE)
XAVIER’S POV“What did you say?” My heart’s rhythm changed yet again and this time it wasn’t just the pain of what Anna had done but I felt a sharp prick deep within and I found myself struggling to stay in control of my wolf and the bond that sizzled inside.Kira waved her hand dramatically in the air and stepped away from the wall.“I said Anna had a lover. Rather than ask me what I said, I thought you would be curious as to what happened to this guy… a sweet promising guy if you ask me…” she drawled as she strutted to the bed.I wanted to ask her. Heck, I was dying to know about this person who had taken the place I wanted to take in her life… but a part of me knew that all this was just a game to Kira, and I shouldn’t let myself fall for it.“Hmm, I see that you are struggling in your head… tsk, poor guy.” Once again, she waved her hand in the air like she was speaking to a child, “I’ll tell you the little story.”My mouth hung open. I couldn’t say the words I needed to make her
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 119 (BOXED SITUATIONS)
ANNA’S POVMy wolf was in pain, but I couldn’t bring myself to ignore the warnings on the back of the photo I had squeezed in my hands. Tears were pushing to drop down my eyes, but I stayed strong. I wouldn’t let Lartes see how much his plan was affecting me.When I left the ballroom, his men directed me to a chamber in the lower levels of his side of the palace and I was told to wait till the coast was clear.I stayed there, fighting the pain in my heart. I couldn’t even imagine what Xavier must have been thinking at that moment. The look in his eyes was something I could never erase from my mind for years to come.The memory was forever going to remain a scar in my heart, and I knew trying to forget it was impossible. I tried to keep my mind off it though, but it was useless.Xavier’s handsome face contorting into pain as I said those horrible words caused my heart to stir over and over.It was the cruelest thing I had ever done, and I hoped he would forgive me for it. Even if he ev
