THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 57 (THE BARGAIN)
XAVIER'S POVI tried my best to stay calm not wanting her to know that her words had gotten to me. It had worked and I couldn't help myself from smiling when I saw the look of anger on her face when she realised her words did not affect me.But she was cunning. She knew exactly what she was talking about. She was the one with the knife and she knew that I was only delaying the inevitable. Anna wasn't stupid.I had been hoping ever since that she would not take what she had seen the day she had arrived between Harrison and I to heart but I knew there was no way she would not. She was a smart girl. And I still could not understand why she even protected me instead of letting me perish on that day.There was a lot of mystery surrounding the woman before me.One thing I knew was that she was not going to go to my uncle with her findings. I was sure of this because I knew she would have gone to him with it a long time ago. She would have not even needed to inform me before doing it.She wa

ANNA'S POVI hated how he made me feel. I did not know how, but he had a hold on me. I couldn't explain but I felt him and this only fueled the anger within me.Looking into his eyes was so difficult because it caused me to feel some type of way I could not explain. I had a weird feeling in my stomach as if something was fluttering around and I wished I could catch whatever it was and smash it with my feet.When he first asked me what I wanted, I did not know what to say. I had not planned for such a question from him so I had not thought of an offer. In fact, I had not planned for all of these to happen. It had all unfolded this way because I had been desperate to have my clutches on him. I had been desperate to see the power I would have on myself to ascertain to him that I was the one in charge just in case what had transpired yesterday had caused him to feel otherwise."Are you sure you are not just desperate for his attention?" My wolf asked me.I wished I could rip her out of m

XAVIER'S POVI was unable to grasp any reason why Anna, the witch, would want me.When she added that she wanted all of me, I could not help it. She had aroused the beast inside of me once again and all I craved was to pin her against the wall and take her.The same desire swimming in her eyes was enough to push away any sense of reasoning I had."But you swore an oath never to have sex with her," My wolf reminded me."Oaths were meant to be broken," I replied to my wolf without thinking.I was not the same person I used to be. I could not understand who I was. Who this witch had turned me into.I could not hide my desire for her. My breathing increased just as my blood rushed all over my body making every part of me come alive, especially my cock.I closed my legs in a bid to hide the bulge that was going to peek through my trousers because of my arousal but the witch was not making things any better.She had a cocky look on her face as she enjoyed what she was doing to me. She knew

ANNA'S POVI knew he wanted me. I saw it in the way he looked at me and in the way his breath quivered with need.I wanted him too. I wanted him so bad that my vagina pulsed with need but I refused to accept it and it was for that reason that I had walked away from him. I knew that if I had spent another second near him, I would have my panties at my knees and his cock up my vagina without thinking.But I think what made me lust for him the most was the realisation that I had sexual power over him.Finally, away from him, I could finally think straight.I needed a plan. Now that I had made my intentions clear to him I needed to push through.I needed to let him know that I was his ally and to prove to him that I was capable of helping him win the war. But I needed to show him that I was doing it as a favour to him and not because I had an interest in what was going on.As I sat thinking about my plan, I was distracted by the ache between my legs. No matter how I tried I could not t
Last Updated : 2023-08-31THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 61 (THE UNBRIDLED PRINCESS)
ANNA'S POV I was dumbstruck at his comment.I froze, looking at him, not able to move my body.I gazed into his eyes hoping to catch a glimpse of what was running through his evil mind.Could he have perhaps beat me to the chase? Had he found out my real motive for being in his court?I watched as he chewed, his eyes also on mine."I have come to find that there is no meat as tender as that which hated thee," Alpha Lartes spoke through a mouth full of meat. His expression was stern and stoic, not allowing me to read his thoughts.I nearly gasped as I remembered the possibility of him reading minds.I immediately filled my mind with the images of the sufferings my people back at home were going through. If he could read my mind then I would want him to have a look at what he had caused.But on second thought, I changed that image. That was when I realised that such a devilish man like him would find joy in the images of the suffering he was causing my people rather than feel remorsef

ANNA'S POVI could feel a snarl building up in me and I felt my claws coming out.My lips parted ways to allow for my wolf teeth to appear.I was going to end this whole drama once and for all here and now.I started to turn ready to pounce on him and throw all caution to the wind but a guard briskly walked into the room, interrupting my moment of madness."Your Highness, The Alpha of the West is here," the guard said.I had one more opponent to face but I did not see it as that. I saw it as another opportunity to fully unleash my anger.I let out a low grunt as my wolf fought to take full control of my body.She felt I was wasting time and wanted me to attack so fast but unlike her, I was always well-prepared before a hunt. I never went on a hunt without first assessing my prey's strengths and weaknesses, especially at this time when my opponent was stronger than I was.Alpha Lartes did not say a word to the guard nor did he take his eyes off me. I could still feel them on me and I k
Last Updated : 2023-08-31THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 63 (CONFRONTATION)
XAVIER'S POVI had been anticipating her entry ever since I had picked up her scent.It took all the strength in my body for me to focus on the book in my hand and not raise my head to look at her as she entered.I was already struggling to read the pile of reports in my hand and her presence only made it harder.Before her arrival, I wanted to get up to speed on all activities and I had gone to get the reports. Even though we were just a band of rebels, we always made sure we kept records of our dealings.I had gone to our meeting spot in the palace and had picked up the records there.This witch had successfully wrapped me in her wiles so much so that I did not understand why I caught whiffs of her scent in the passages leading to the hideout. It was as if she had been there.I knew it had to be my mind playing tricks on me because there was no way she had been able to find that place out. It had taken my uncle's army years to try to find it and they still had no success so it was
Last Updated : 2023-08-31THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 64 (THE NEED FOR TRUTH)
XAVIER'S POVI watched as a cloud of sadness passed over her face. It happened so fast that if I had not been carefully watching her, I would have missed it.She did not say anything immediately and I understood this was because she was trying to gain the composure my last words had caused her to lose."You say I am not part of you?" She asked with a strong voice devoid of the sadness I was expecting her voice to carry.I did not answer her question. I sat quietly watching her.A small smile started to play on her lips and I wondered what could be going on in that despicable mind of hers.She took two slow steps closer towards me making her stand over me. I braced up for a confrontation.Although I was still relatively bigger than she was even when sitting, her standing over me gave her an imposing stature.My wolf growled."You know if I am not a friend, then I have nothing else to be than a foe. Are you sure you want me as an enemy Xavier?" She said strongly, she then kept quiet all

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
