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
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 120 (BAD TIMES)
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
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 121 (SET THE PLACE ON FIRE)
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 122 (THE BATTLE)
XAVIER’S POVMy brain shut down as the screams of the people I had come to know as my friends and true family burned in the flames.My heart stopped beating and things seemed to happen in slow motion. I saw their faces contorting in pain, yet no sound came. I turned to see the evil grin on my uncle’s face as he watched my reaction and enjoyed the pain on their faces.Then my eyes landed on Abigail and that was when it dawned on me that this was truly happening. She was unaffected. Never staring at the people —our people. Her eyes remained on me, and I asked myself how did we get here?It was then reality struck me. Everything came crashing back and shock took over my body. I heard the screams, and I felt the heat begin to grow.The shock took a few seconds to wash off me but when it finally did, I let out a deafening scream and my vision turned red. All I felt was anger and rage. Heat waves radiated out of my body, and I felt the rational part of me break out.I couldn’t let this happ
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 123 (JOURNEY THROUGH THE SEA)
ANNA’S POVWe were far into sea for at least two days when they finally let me out of the box.“Where is my father?” I yelled at them, but they didn’t even respond. They just moved on to the next box and when they opened it, my father stepped out, coughing.Tears brimmed in my eyes as I ran to me. “Oh father… I am so sorry,” I cried wrapping my arms around me.He hugged me back, rubbing his hand slowly over me. “It is fine my dear child. It is all over now,” he said in a broken voice, and I realized that it was truly over.We had lost everything. Our land, our status… everything. And it was all my fault.Tears brimmed in my eyes, but I held them back. I still had my father to protect and take care of. We might have been broken but we were not dead yet.Still clutching his back, I let my eyes roam around the place we were in. We were in a cargo ship with nothing but boxes surrounding us. I couldn’t see a cabin anywhere around. It was more like a long floatable vessel that transported u
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 124 (MEETING HIS SISTER)
ANNA’S POV“Hi, I am Xena and please pay no attention to Charles here. You don’t have to use my title,” she said with a laugh, but I was still too shocked to speak. I only stared at the resemblance I wanted to deny but staring at me right in the face.I couldn’t tell if it was just a figment of my imagination, or it was truly staring at me in the face.Have I tried to avoid thinking about Xavier so much that he was now etched in my mind? And I was seeing him in everyone?Her eyes twinkled with worry, and she turned to bold guy who I now knew was Charles and he nodded his head. It was a code that she understood very well because when her eyes returned to me, the smile on her face returned.“You are welcome to the island of Peace. Please, come with me, I will personally show you a place to stay,” she said and waved her hand in the air.My brows raised as for a second, I thought she was going to make magic or something, but two guards appeared before us and they bowed to her.She smiled
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 125 (CHEATING DEATH)
XAVIER’S POVI had failed.Tears flowed out of me, and I couldn’t even feel the pain from my injuries anymore because the pain from my heart was stronger. I had failed everyone. My parents, my friends, my sisters and Anna.He would have certainly given her a similar faith and I gave him the chance to escape without killing him. I screamed in frustration praying that time could be stopped and I would have a second chance to reverse the days so I could kill Lartes for his crimes.I didn’t even care if I didn’t become the next king if Lartes wasn’t the one sitting on that throne my father had worked so hard for.The pain ate at me. The guilt destroyed me and when I had used all my energy, I prayed for death to take me or give me one final chance.It was a hopeless situation, and my body was probably broken without repair, but my soul was stronger than it had ever been. My wolf was wounded and probably dying but I had just one prayer.And it was that I returned. Even if it was in another

ANNA’S POVXena becomes a very good friend of mine. She came around every day to check on us and how we were fairing. Her sweetness was still too good to take in but as time went by, I became more and more comfortable with her.I even started looking forward to her visits as she healed the part of my heart that missed Xavier. Spending time with her was like being with Xavier —it wasn’t exactly the same, but it just made me feel like I was close to a part of him.It didn’t complete heal the guilt, but it helped me survive through it. I still cried at night when I was sure my father was still sleeping. His gestures, especially in the last days had been everything to me. The flowers, I could still remember the smells of the lavenders and I wished I could turn back the hands of time and tell him how I felt.It was difficult sleeping on a bed where he wasn’t there. I tried not to think about it, but I couldn’t stop. I knew that there was no one to blame but me yet I prayed that time could
