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

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

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

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

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

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

XAVIER’S POVAs I left Kira’s side, there was one thing that rang in my head. Anna was in deeper trouble than I had first thought and I knew that I had to find her as soon as possible —if not, it was going to get even more complicated.If I was going to find her, I had to go all out. I had to use brute force and to do that I needed support. I marched out of the palace, knowing that there was only one person in the entire realm who could give me the sort of support I needed and that was Nico.As I got to the corridor that led out, I felt my wolf twist within me. My mate’s bond dragged me back and I wanted to ignore it but as much as I tried to do this, the force intensified, becoming a pain so strong I had to give him.I turned around and it pulled me back into the palace.It was a crazy force I couldn’t explain but the hair at the back of my neck was erect, and goosebumps appeared on my skin. Even my heart started ramming restlessly in my chest. It was as if something terrible wanted

RYKER’S POVNico’s words made sense, but it wasn’t what I needed. I needed him to support me. I didn’t need his honesty. I wanted him to help me find Anna because that was the only thing that made sense to me.Because now that she was not here, how was I supposed to move on? What was io supposed to do? Where could I even start from?The ache in my heart intensified and my frustration increased.I left his hideout, disappointed and returned to the palace, hoping to get a new idea that might be helpful this time around. On my way, I took the last part I had followed her through when we had that last misunderstanding.Somehow, my legs led me to the shore at the end of the tree lines. I watched as the ships left the land and floated deeper into the sea till, I couldn’t see them again. For the second time in one day, my wolf pulled at me.It felt like someone was trying to tell me a secret and I couldn’t decode it. My insides were screaming at me to do something, but I couldn’t tell what i

THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 175 (THE BEGINNING OF THE END)
XAVIER’S POVAs the vessels landed on the shores of the island, a war cry was let out and everyone took position.At first, everything seemed perfect. The people in the town were packed away from the scenes. They were led to a safe location. Our aim wasn’t to kill them but to liberate them from the monster who was growing under their noses.As the people got cleared, we proceeded straight to the palace entrance with full attack, but it wasn’t met with force as the few guards present in the town were not even expecting what awaited them nor were they prepared for war.They were easily whisked away, leaving the gates bare. But as soon as we got to this point, that was when I realized that Kelvin knew we were coming. This wasn’t a surprise attack; it was a well-precedented attack.His men appeared from all sides of town as if they had been waiting for us to finish clearing the people away so that they would attack. They were more than we had anticipated and to top that up, their arrival
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 174 (CURSES AND WAR)
XAVIER’S POVLeaving Anna behind made me stronger. The further I got from the room, the more determined I became to end this war and curse once and for all.“Xavier, the men are ready,” Edna said as she joined me on the corridor as we headed out of the palace through the warehouse, which led us straight to the vessels.“The men are yet to be addressed and they are all waiting at the beach,” Charles said, and I nodded at him.“But there is one problem,” Nico’s voice filled the space and all three of us stopped to stare at him.There was a frown on his face as he joined us. “What is the problem?” I asked as he got closer.“We will have to do your coronation before you leave. It needs to be official before the realm’s flag can be raised.” Nico explained and I could already feel Edna’s hesitation beside me, but I had the perfect solution to this.“Call the elders, they shall be going with us,” I said and started walking away but Nico ran after me, stopping right in front of me.“But Xavi
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 173 (A PROMISE OF LOVE)
ANNA’S POVAs I got to Xavier’s chambers, I went straight to the bed, hoping I could get some rest but as I lay on it, there was nothing relaxing about it.Every scenario and circumstance kept playing into my head. My father’s kidnapping. The change of the details of the curse. The probability of Edna being Xavier’s half-sister and then Xena wanting to place her life on the edge of danger…How could I rest?Xavier’s plan was a full-on attack but what if… that one question held the key to the outcome of so many lives. It was true that with a perfectly planned attack with everyone’s support, we could win it, but would Nico change his mind?Unable to calm my head as the thoughts came moving in and out of me, I got up and walked to the window. Watching as the men outside, sat gathered in groups.It was Nico’s men and Xavier’s men too. They were sitting together in groups as if they had not just been enemies a few hours ago.A small smile danced on my lips. It was a good development and ma
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 172 (UNITING THE OCTAVIAN)
XAVIER’S POVThe room fell into perfect silence as they stared at me with shock in their eyes. My eyes narrowed especially on Nico who was trying to play me here like I was a fool.“So, according to you, it isn’t a crime for me to mate with my half-sister and also, it is perfectly fine if we go against what the elders said?” I said shaking my head and watching their reactions.While Nico had a defiant frown and I could guess that he was already scheming for the next words he was going to say to frame me up into his selfish wishes, Edna could no longer look at me in the eye.It was funny because the idea of her being my half-sister was still very strange to my head but nevertheless, as I said it and they were reacting like this, then it could only be true. The problem now was how they birth to her.“Xavier, listen to me,” Nico started up and I raised my brows ready to listen to his trash for a second time. “I know all this information is a little overwhelming but none of these stories
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 171 (WRONG BLOODLINE)
XAVIER’S POV“What?” We all echoed out in the room in shock.Our voice was of different intensity. Where Charles had the gentlest of them, I couldn’t control mine.“This is unbelievable. How can it be possible?” I cried out. I couldn’t believe this. “Edna can’t be an Octavian, from who? We all know that Uncle Lartes was never even into women to begin with! The man preferred men!”My eyes were narrowed, and my temples were squeezed into a tight knot as I tried to unravel the truth or even basic idea about the information that Xena had given me.“She is not from Uncle Lartes,” she whispered and the cloud of confusion in my head got even thicker.“How then?” I growled. “If she isn’t from Uncle Lartes, who then birthed her?”My father had just one brother and that was Lartes. If he didn’t have then whose child was Edna— as soon as the thoughts crossed my mind, I froze. This meant one thing, if she was an Octavian, then she was…“She is our half-sister?” I whispered, unable to say the word
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 170 (THE WRONG TALON)
XAVIER’S POVHer question left a ringing in my ears and the way she collapsed to the ground, caused a panic to start within me. I knew what her argument was based on was the right thing but why did loving her also feel right? Why did fighting for us, feel right?Haven’t we been through enough already?I left my position and went to her with a troubled mind of my own, but I was certain we could figure it out together. I reached out my hands to her and as they came into contact the flame spreading between us was the assurance I needed. This couldn’t be wrong.“Anna…” I whispered with a blank head but at least it was a starting point.She raised her sad tears filled eyes to me and I was about to start cooking up the first plan that came into my head when the door opened and Charles, the vessel captain, stepped in.He bowed before us and held the position. “My king, I have news from your sister, the queen of the island,” he said, and my brows rose instantly to my hairlines.“What about my
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 169 (MY HEART OR MY PEOPLE)
ANNA’S POVThe hours on the journey back were ridiculously cold and silent. Every man was to himself, and I couldn’t help but begin to wonder if there was something I missed while we were all there.As the water danced around its waves, I seemed to be the only one rational enough to notice. It got to a point that I became worried for the men as they could fall or worse could happen to them.But the goddess stayed with us. We got to the shores of Black Moon safely without any casualties. Yet the mysteries surrounding the men didn’t stop. Rather it seemed to spread even to the others as we got down.Even the men in Black Moon all seemed to carry around them a strange dark aura that felt wrong.“Let’s go see the King,” Charles said and we picked a representative from the two teams of soldiers we carried along with us.We were going to the head to the throne room but we were redirected to the conference room where we found Xavier, Edna and Nico all seated with long faces.My wolf was itch
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 168 (DARK AURA)
ANNA’S POVI tried to think of an explanation to what I heard, but there was none.Everything around me started feeling off, and my heart was no longer beating in the normal way.I pulled out my walkie-talkie, and I wanted to dial Charles, but with no idea where he was or how it was in there, I decided against it.I returned my device to my pocket and moved the one I got from my father and his diary into my backpack, then I did a double back to the vessel.There was nothing I could do but wait, hoping that he would have more information when he returned.“Princess Anna, we got an interception from Black Moon but the connection was not stable enough for us to pick up anything,” the man we had left as a scout on the vessel said.“Oh, we will try again later in the night, connection is always better then,” I said, based on what Xavier had told me when he handed the devices to me.It was what Lartes had used to pass information from Black Moon to the island. It worked, we just had to fin
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 167 (THE EYES OF THE GODDESS)
XAVIER’S POVI wasn’t even the one to reject it. Edna herself slapped her palms to the table and jumped to her feet.“No, uncle Nico. I am not going to be mated to him!” She cried out like I was some sort of plague but surprisingly I felt no hate towards her because it was a mutual feeling. I didn’t want to be mated with her either. I already had Anna.“Sit down Edna and listen to me,” Nico growled and for the first time since I have come to know him, I saw agitation in his eyes.But Edna had gone wild.She stepped away from the table and shook her head like she had suddenly become possessed.“Why should I listen to you?” She spat out and Nico narrowed his eyes and he searched for the right words to say but before he could even come up with them, edna continued.“No way! I have listened to you all my life. I have done everything you have wanted.” She beat her chest and pointed in my direction. “But you see this particular one, I am not going to do it. I am not even going to sit here a
