THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 18 (HIS MOTHER'S RING)
XAVIER'S POVI had lost track of time and when I arrived at the front of the bar to meet my carriage, it was almost ten p.m and I was so late.My uncle had informed me of the welcome party and engagement announcement he had planned for the green-eyed witch today.And I had promised him I was not going to attend and he had threatened to lock me in the dungeon.Not that his threat scared me, but I knew if I was locked up, I would not have the opportunity to oversee my affairs of taking back my birthright and I currently had no time for delays.Quickly, I jumped into my carriage and I didn't have to say a word, my driver knew what he had to do."Yah! Yah!" The voice of the driver called out on the cold night as he whipped the horses urging them to run faster.I would have preferred to run in my wolf form, the air coursing through my grey fur, my paws slapping and lifting off the bare Earth, easing my mind and connecting with my true form but I had no time to clean up lest I mess myself u
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 19 (A MYSTERIOUS ALLIANCE )
ANNA'S POVI felt guilty as I ate.I was sure my father had eaten his daily ration of the boiled dried corn which had become our staple meal for years now.With every bite of the roasted venison and deep-fried chicken, my heart grew heavy with guilt but I tried to fix my mind away from the sweet food to stay in control.Naturally, my eyes went to Xavier. My supposed husband, who had come late for the engagement. I was disappointed.I had expected him to be more of a man. I hoped he would refuse to show up to our engagement. But I was not shocked. He was a coward after all.He hated me. I saw it in his eyes as he walked in and I was the least bothered, after all, the feeling was totally mutual. Yet he came.Fool.Moreover, he did not hate me yet. After I had left his pack in ruins, then he would know how much he should have hated me.My eyes returned to the party and a smile lingered on my lips.The party was actually splendid even though I had spent it with mixed emotions –happy that
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 20 (DREAMS AND SCREAMS )
ANNA'S POV "We will see about that," Alpha Lartes finally answered me and I only smiled bowing my head slightly in answer.I turned my face back to the party in a bid to avoid all conversations and to not further add to the mistake.I had made myself vulnerable in the eyes of the Alpha. My interest in the affairs of his pack was uncalled for and had definitely raised suspicion toward him.The more I commented on the matter, the worse the situation became. So, I strained my focus on the party.We spent the rest of the party totally oblivious to one another and it was a relief for me when it finally came to an end.I was escorted back to the chambers I shared with my betrothed by two armed guards.I knocked on the door to the room but I got no response. I knocked a second time and still got no response.I then opened the door and stepped into the room.It was dimly lit with the lights turned off and the only source of light was from the fireplace.My eyes fell immediately on the figure
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 21 (THE BEAUTIFUL SPY)
XAVIER'S POV I knew something was totally wrong even before I opened my eyes. I woke up to find that I was stripped of my clothes and laying on a bed.I was shocked. This was not the way I had fallen asleep last night.The intense banging in my head and the foul taste in my mouth, including the foul breath, reminded me of how I fell asleep last night."No!" I heard someone beg beside me and I turned to see the scared face of my supposed bride to be beside me.She was so frail and small on the bed that it had been hard for me to notice her under the blanket.I watched as she suddenly jerked up from sleep, panting and filling me with disgust. Not just that the sound of her beating heart was just too loud and it was irritating my wolf's ears.She looked scared and confused but I did not care as I suddenly realized she must have been the one who moved me."What the fuck did you do to me?" I asked her.She swiveled her head sharply towards me and I watched as the fear on her face quickly
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 22 (THE EVIL ROOMMATE )
XAVIER'S POV I walked out of the bathroom with a towel around my waist and a clear mind —the exact opposite of how I had walked into it earlier on.I could think straight now and I felt the confidence course through me. My shoulders were squared and my legs moved with purpose and strength.My evil roommate was still on the bed where I had left her. I could feel her eyes follow me as I walked around but I totally ignored her and I went straight to the vanity table.But my decision to ignore her went down the drain as soon as my eyes settled on the vanity table."What in the world is all of this?" I bellowed rhetorically in anger as I saw the chaos on my vanity table.I remembered leaving only a handful of skin care products there earlier and I was shocked to find the entire place swarming with a lot of products and to make it worse, I could not even catch sight of my products.My wolf growled with anger inside of me. I became livid. How dare she waltzed into my room and start claiming
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 23 (TOO YOUNG TO RULE)
XAVIER'S POVI had always nursed this deep-rooted fear of my uncle ever since I was a kid. I had watched him rip out the beating hearts of eight men at once without breaking a sweat and all these he did in his human form and for this reason, I knew he was not someone to mess with.Even in his human form, one could see his Lycan features. His beautiful frame could not mask the terrible strength he carried within him and the danger in his eyes –eyes which were looking straight into my soul at the moment without flinching.My blood ran cold within me and it took me a moment to get myself together to be able to answer his question."I am going out," I answered with a small smile that didn't reach my eyes."That I can see but what I want to know is where exactly you're going?" My uncle asked before putting a bloody piece of meat in his mouth.I watched as he chewed the meat, his jaw moving as his powerful teeth ground into the flesh.In those split seconds that passed, I realized a very st
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 24 (SPARKS OF RED)
XAVIER'S POVWe arrived in no time and I jumped off the carriage onto a muddy path, my feet eager to carry me to where I wanted to be.I took the path, watching out for the puddles of animal urine and feaces as I walked.I could hear the loud voices of two adolescent boys fighting inside the tiny little cottage that had once belonged to Mr. Penwell but was now left in the hands of his eldest daughter, his ailing wife, and two errant boys.I knocked on the little door thrice in quick succession and moved backward waiting for an answer"Who is it?" I heard a lady's voice ask from inside the house and something in my chest caught.I did not give her any answer.Soon I heard approaching footsteps and then the little door creaked open.A smile crept onto my sad face as the beautiful face of my friend and comrade came into view."Good morning Abigail," I said with a smile, all of sudden my anger seeping away. Her face was really a cure for a sore heart."What the fuck are you doing in my ho
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 25 (BROKEN HEARTED PRINCE)
XAVIER'S POVI was stunned once again today as I heard the crack in Abigail's voice as she spoke."Mother warned me, she said it was all a misunderstanding and I was never fit for a prince but I still held on to my hopes that one day you would see how I felt for you. But after all, I have done for you! After all I have passed through for your sake you still never found me worthy," Abigail said.This time when she spoke, there was no anger in her voice and her eyes. All that was left there was pain. Too much pain.The only time I had ever seen Abigail in such pain in all the times we had known each other was when she had opened up to me and narrated how she had found her father's head in a box."Abigail..." I called softly, moving forward my arms outstretched reaching for her but she shifted back, lurking behind the door, using it as a shield between us."Don't touch me, Xavier! Don't! Not with those hands which you have caressed your bride," Abigail said."Abigail, please! Just give m
