THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 31 (LET VIOLENCE RAIN)
ANNA'S POV"Um... he went out," I answered slower than I normally would and paying close attention to his expression."Ooh... " The Alpha answered, looking thoughtfully."Thank you for the shopping trip my King," I said quickly, eager to take his mind and the conversation off Xavier."Are you sure you are? You declined my offer," Alpha Lartes said.I could hear a tinge of anger in his voice. I knew instantly that this was a man who was not used to his offers being rejected and my rejection had gotten to him."No, my King..." I said immediately eager to clear his anger.Although I was happy I had bruised his ego with my refusal, there was no way I was going to win his heart over if I showed him I had no regard for him."...I ask that you don't see it that way. I am still very much tired from my trip and the party yesterday and I felt a shopping trip would be very tedious for me and that was why I declined your offer. I hope you don't take it to heart," I said sincerely with a bow."Of
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 32 (A NEW DISTRACTION)
ANNA'S POVBoth the Alpha and I were distracted from our conversation as we watched the young lady walk towards us.She was about my age although her eyes looked older, the telltale signs of hardship and a painful life aging young eyes.She walked with her head high and purposeful steps but one could see that it was all a mask for the fear that was in her.She looked entirely out of place, her bland, cheap clothes a striking contrast to the magnificence and beauty of the palace.She looked unsure and there was a hesitant look about her, as if she was not entirely certain about what she was doing.Her whole demeanor attracted me to her and I was eager to know what she was here for.Her eyes flitted from Alpha Lartes to me while our eyes were both fixed on hers.She went on her knees when she got before the Alpha but I could see the struggle it took her to do it. Immediately, my heart went out to her."My King, I am your humble servant, Abigail Penwell," the lady said and I was amazed a
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 33 (THE CONFIDENT SNITCH)
ANNA'S POV"What do you have against the prince?" Alpha Lartes came to my rescue as his words drew her attention —even though it was reluctantly, she moved her eyes away from me.She was silent. The whole room was silent as we waited on her.She looked calm on the outside but I could see that there was a waging war inside of her. She was in a dilemma and she was regretting her actions."Do you know what happens to people who waste my time?" Alpha Lartes asked as he leaned forward towards her.My heart started to race on her behalf.I did not know who she was. I had no idea as to what she had against me but I was scared for her. I did not want her to die.She took a deep breath and then she started, "My King, I am here today to assure you of my allegiance to your throne and rulership," as she said this, she went down on one knee.There was a pain in her voice. She sounded as if every word that came out of her mouth was a dagger that was piercing through her soul. It was not a pain cau
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 34 (CLASH OF LYCANS )
ANNA'S POVOnce again, the room was as silent as a graveyard."I need a name," Alpha Lartes said.Abigail was quiet.I said a prayer to the goddess to come to Xavier's aid. As much as I hated the fool, I couldn't let him die.Not now and not by Lartes' hands. If anyone was going to kill Xavier, it should be by my hands and on my terms."What is the name of this person you talk about?" Alpha Lartes asked again. I could hear his anger growing in his voice.He was trying his best to keep his cool. I could see from the rhythmic tapping of his feet that there was a rampage broiling inside of him."I am scared my King," Abigail said."Scared of what?" Alpha Lartes bellowed. "I have assured you your life and I don't intend to go back on my words. If you tell me what I need to know, you will live. But if you refuse to talk, then so be it," Alpha Lartes said his voice threatening.I could see the emotion I had noticed about her as she first walked into the throne room. It was regret.She now k
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 35 (MISPLACED TRUST)
XAVIER'S POVI had been on my way to my room to change when the sound of my uncle's growl drew my attention to the throne room.I was shocked to have heard my uncle's growl as he had not taken matters into his hands recently and had left it to the guards and so I was amused and on my way to see who was unlucky to have brought my Uncle's feral wrath on them.I walked to the throne room and it was not till I reached the door that I saw in amazement who was the benefactor of my Uncle's wrath."Abigail!" My wolf cried within me in panic as I saw what my uncle was doing to her.I did not let any other thought cross my mind and immediately, I lunged to save her.I thought I had let out all the anger in me already but seeing Abigail's throat being squeezed like a sponge, a new anger arose in me and it built up in a matter of seconds.I knew that my strength was no way near my uncle's since he was a much older Lycan but I knew if I fought smart, I was going to be able to win him and so I did.
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 36 (THE HUMBLING FACTOR)
XAVIER'S POV I held my breath as I awaited my death sentence.Abigail still did not glance at me even as my uncle referred to me.I had always thought that I was not scared of death but right now, as I awaited Abigail's response which could lead to my death, I realized that no matter how tough one was, death was its humbling factor."Do you know what I will do to you if you don't talk? I will sit you upon a hot stove, your hands tied behind your back while you watch as I rip out the tongue and eyes and every single body part of your family members piece by piece till all that was left was an unrecognizable block of torso," My Uncle said in a voice so genuine and sincere one had every cause to believe he was going to make good on his threat."I won't kill you. You shall live, daily on the brink of death, wishing so dearly for it but never getting it," My Uncle continued.My Uncle was never one who threatened. He felt like it made him look weak. He believed in just doing and no one wou
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 37 (SAVED BUT SHAMED)
ANNA'S POVHer face was determined but I could see through her and I saw how she contemplated betraying Xavier or not.I was worried because just like her, I was not sure she was not going to betray him.Once my family was involved, I would pick my family over any other thing."Help me, goddess," I prayed.If Xavier lost his life today, my people would die with him. This was not just the end of his life but me and my people as well.The coward was the reason I was in the palace and without him, I would have no use thereby no alliance between my pack and his."I need to do something!" I said to my wolf."Don't you dare! What do you think the Alpha would think if you stepped in?" My wolf discouraged me but I did not want to believe her."You are supposed to be gaining his trust, not losing it!" My wolf added.She was right. But the situation was looking bleak. I needed to do something. Not only for my people's sake but for his as well. I did not care what would happen to the incompeten
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 38 (THE CHASE)
ANNA'S POVI listened for her footsteps but I could not hear anything. She was obviously careful so her footsteps would not make any sound.I sniffed the air trying to see if I would pick up her scent but there was totally nothing. She had masked her scent too. She was wise. She had made sure no one would be able to track her down.I should have given up since the odds were not in my favour but I could not let her get away. I needed to meet her. I needed to understand what was going on because it did not make sense to me.I knew that Xavier had a hand in the rebellion against his Uncle thanks to what happened the first day I arrived but I still could not believe that a coward like him who could not even stand up to his uncle would be able to lead an entire gang so notorious it made the almighty Lartes worry and would earn such loyalty from them.I needed to know if he was just an informant from the palace, a role which would make much sense as cowards were known to be snitches, or if
