The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 28. The Queen's Fatal Mistake
I sat on the high stool and stared at the hairpin that had brought disaster. It lay on the kitchen island, wrapped in a cloth, still stained with blood. I sighed and looked at those gathered around me—Vincent and the maids.“My queen, I know it was unintentional, but please don’t dwell on it. King Elijah will be fine,” Vincent said.So I should be able to relax after stabbing Elijah, even if it was accidental? I don’t understand why he suddenly collapsed and is now unconscious.Vincent even had to call Bishop, and together, they tended to Elijah until his condition began to settle.What shocked me the most was learning that the hairpin contained silver—a poison deadly to our kind, second only to wolfsbane.I couldn’t wait to see Elijah now, even though Bishop had been watching his condition. How could I not panic even more?Tears fell again as I cried in silence. I never wanted to hurt Elijah despite the pain he often caused me. Deep down, I felt like the worst person in the world.“M

"My king! Stop!"Vincent quickly pulled Elijah's hand from my throat, and Bishop dragged me back. We all felt Elijah's fury, and it was terrifying. Even in his weakened state, his presence was overpowering."Please, my king. Calm down," Vincent pleaded, his voice strained.Elijah exhaled, then let go of Vincent's hand. We all breathed a sigh of relief as his anger seemed to subside."She tried to kill me," Elijah said in a flat tone, pointing at me. "Why are you still allowing Delilah to be here?""It was an accident, my king," Bishop defended. "Queen Delilah was only defending herself.""By stabbing me with a silver object?""Queen Delilah didn't know."Elijah struggled to sit up on the bed with Vincent's help. I stood frozen in fear as he fixed me with an intense gaze. But I shrank back next to Bishop, too afraid to approach."Your hand isn't hurt, Delilah?" Elijah asked suddenly.I shook my head. "No, my king.""Then how were you able to hold the object without hurting yourself?"I

“Ugh!”I grimaced as Delilah’s hips accidentally landed on my stomach wound. She gasped and quickly shifted, kneeling beside me with a look of concern and panic in her eyes.“My king, I’m sorry,” she squealed.“It’s all right,” I replied, not wanting this damned wound to ruin the heat between us. I didn’t care about her accidental stab; I figured we’d call it even if I could “stab” her all night in return.I cupped Delilah’s neck and pulled her face close to kiss again. I wanted to hear her moan, to feel her writhe beneath me until she had nothing left to give. She returned my kiss with even more passion, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. I gently pushed her back, making sure she was comfortable as my hand found her breast, squeezing slowly but firmly.Her body rose, her heavy-lidded gaze sending my thoughts reeling. I moved down and kissed her deeply before taking her breast in my mouth, making her moan louder. The sound was beautiful and made me want more.I bit, sucked, until

I was relieved Elijah wasn’t angry, but his face had been somber lately. I didn’t know what was bothering him, though I was afraid it was because of what I’d said a few nights ago.Yes, those words... I told Elijah that I loved him.He hadn’t responded that night or said anything, even though we’d had such a wild, unforgettable night together. But now I began to question my own words.Was it too much?I knew it wasn’t just Elijah’s influence; it was all me. And now I regretted it. A slave like me loving a king. How foolish!“Queen Delilah?” Vincent’s voice startled me.I turned and gave him a smile. “Hi, Vincent. I was just admiring the garden’s beauty,” I said quickly.“Of course, my queen. If it brings you peace.”“What is it, Vincent?”“King Elijah would like to see you in his office.”Elijah wants to talk to me? That’s unusual.Usually, he bursts into the room and starts yelling.I nodded and got up, walking to Elijah’s office with Vincent at my side. When we arrived, Vincent open

Kat and Flo helped me with my makeup and hair. This time, my hair was styled in a simple chignon, but I felt it was missing something."Should I add a pin?" I asked them both."Well... there is a beautiful pin that would look lovely on you, my queen," Kat quickly opened the accessory box. It was a flower pin that would go perfectly with your outfit.I shook my head. "I want to wear the white pin—the mysterious gift."They both gasped, obviously startled and even took a step back. I took the cloth-wrapped pin from the drawer and placed it on the vanity."My queen, this is dangerous." Kat's face turned pale. "Why are you wearing it?""I think now is the time to wear it, to find out who sent it."I tucked it carefully into my bun. It was perfect."Queen Delilah, please don't be so careless. If King Elijah finds out, he'll be furious," Flo pleaded.I knew that Elijah almost lost his life because of that pin. He would be outraged if he knew I was wearing it to a tea party as if nothing had

All I could do was sit on the edge of the bed, sobbing and holding Aunt Disa's hand. She was still unconscious, just exhausted, but seeing her look so worn and battered tore at my heart."What happened to you, Auntie?" I whispered desperately.Dark thoughts crept in. If Aunt Disa was like this, what about Dad? After I disappeared, did Tracy and Benson treat my father horribly?"Delilah?"Elijah's voice startled me. I turned to see him standing in the doorway. He came in and patted my shoulder gently. "Let your aunt rest, Delilah."Even though I didn't want to leave, I obeyed Elijah. We walked out of the room, and Elijah held my hand."Is your aunt on your mother's or father's side?" Elijah asked."My father's younger sister. My birth mother didn't have anyone left in the pack."Elijah just ran his hand through my hair. "She'll be fine. Don't worry."I nodded, looking at Elijah. "Is it okay for her to stay here temporarily, my king?"Elijah looked over. "She can stay as long as she nee

Dinner in the dining room rarely happens, and tonight, I have to eat there with Aunt Disa—and, of course, Elijah. Aunt Disa looks much better and seems cheerful because Elijah invited her to dinner. Elijah mostly listens to Aunt Disa's stories while I remain silent."The situation in the pack doesn't seem to be going well," Elijah comments. "You can stay here until things are settled there.""My king, I know this is bold," Aunt Disa pauses, "but may I ask for your favor?""How can I help you, Disa?""Could you fix what's happening in the pack? So that Delilah can return and become Luna for Jeremy." Aunt Disa sighs. "They love each other. Jeremy and Delilah are fated to be mates."I noticed Elijah's cold gaze turn to me and then back to Aunt Disa. Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable, like I was betraying Elijah, but at the same time, it felt like I was cheating on Jeremy."Delilah will not return to your pack, Disa. She is already part of mine," Elijah says firmly.Aunt Disa is visibly shoc

“It seems we need to meet with Elder Bishop soon about...” Elijah paused, “...the anomaly that’s happening to you.”Elijah’s words made me nervous. Do I have some kind of disease, or could this be a curse? I felt a wave of worry.“This isn’t a curse, is it?” I asked quietly.Elijah shook his head. “No, Delilah. But I can’t be sure until we talk to Elder Bishop and find out the cause.”“You’re not going to do anything to me, are you?”Elijah shook his head again. “Of course not. I just hope Elder Bishop can come up with an explanation.”I gave a weak nod. “All right, then, my king. Thank you.”“Try to calm yourself.”“I am calm; I want to check on Victoria.” I sighed. “Oh dear, I feel so guilty. Can I see her and apologize? I didn’t mean to hurt her, my king.”“No need.” Elijah tilted his head slightly toward me. “What for?”“But...”“I’ve already asked Vincent to dismiss her. She won’t be your tutor anymore.”Elijah stood and walked to the window, opening it wider. The late afternoon

The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 65. Home Again?
I woke up abruptly and looked around the room. Jeremy’s perfume filled the air. This was his room; I was sure of it. Even though he’d moved to a more spacious place, I knew his scent.But here, in my heart, I didn’t feel anything. Just emptiness.Instead, fear crept in. What about Elijah? Where was he now?I got out of bed quickly, even though my head still felt dizzy. I walked to the door, which was slightly ajar.“You’re awake, Deli?” Jeremy stood and looked at me.I stepped back carefully, my guard up. But Jeremy kept coming closer, trying to grab my hand. I slapped his hand away and stood defensively.“Why did you do that?” I yelled. “Why did you make me leave my King Alpha’s mansion?”“Deli? What did he do to you?” Jeremy’s face filled with worry. “You’re home now. You’re here with me, with all of us. Please, calm down.”Tears welled up and finally spilled over as I began to sob. This wasn’t what I wanted. I wanted everything to be as promised. If things stayed like this, there w
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 64. Be Mine
I forced a laugh because Elijah's statement made me feel semi-panic. I don't know if he notices my fake laugh, but this conversation needs to move on quickly. I lean over and kiss Elijah on the top of his head. It was a bold move, but what else could I do?Suddenly, Elijah looked up, pulled my neck, and locked his lips on mine. I didn't have to fake it. In fact, I was very sad that I couldn't help Elijah. My position only temporarily distracted him.Elijah got up without breaking our kiss. We walked hand in hand to the bed, and he carefully lowered me onto it. "I like the smell of your body," Elijah whispered after breaking the kiss. Elijah's finger traced the middle of my chest, and his eyes were still on me. I couldn't escape Elijah's power, like my body was following some buried instinctive desire. Elijah's hand moved to the bulging part of my body, squeezing and pinching. I bit my lower lip and felt the heat overflow. "All right, we're going to sleep now," Elijah said suddenly
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 63. When Wolves Collide
Tension filled the air. Watching Elijah and Jeremy's confrontation made me panic. There was no pride in being fought over by two alphas like this—only the certainty of dire consequences. Why is this happening to me? "My king, please." I approached Elijah and shook my head weakly, trying to calm him. "Please, I don't want any trouble here." My eyes flicked to Jeremy, who looked disappointed I had chosen to stand by Elijah. I appreciated Jeremy, but there were more pressing matters to attend to. Jeremy should have understood; I had already explained everything to him. Jeremy had acted rashly, challenging Elijah and demanding to take me back to Pinecrest. But what I wanted was to resolve my issues with Elijah first. Only then could I return to my old pack. Now, instead of resolving the matter with Tracy, a new problem has arisen. "She's not your slave!" Jeremy declared firmly. "Let her go, now!" Elijah's anger flared. "Who said Delilah was my slave? I've said from the beginning that
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 62. The Truth Revealed
My body trembled as my eyes locked with Tracy's. I shouldn't be afraid, but the pressure she exerted and the memories of her trying to kill me made my courage waver.Tracy grinned, probably thinking she could meet me and win."King Elijah! This woman doesn't deserve you!" Tracy shouted.Elijah remained calm, his eyes shifting between Tracy and me. Meanwhile, everyone else in the room was muttering, visibly uncomfortable for Jeremy, who stood with the same calm expression as Elijah."And who deserves me?" Elijah asked Tracy.Hearing his answer, Tracy was startled. "Obviously not her!""But Delilah is my mate," Elijah replied. "And you're out of line to accuse my Luna of being a traitor in your pack. Here she is the queen, and you will respect that!"Tracy stammered. "But... but I can explain! Everyone in the pack witnessed it - Delilah ran away because she cheated on Jeremy. She left with another man.""You mean me?" Elijah raised an eyebrow. "I didn't steal Delilah. The truth is much
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 61. The Alpha's Meeting
I was incredibly nervous. Today, the outsider alphas came to the mansion precisely one week after I met Jeremy in Oak Valley. Riddick, along with other alphas from nearby towns—Pinecrest, perhaps—was on the guest list. I wasn’t sure if Jeremy would attend, but deep down, I knew he would show up.“I don’t think you should meet these alphas, Deli,” Aunt Disa said bluntly as she stood behind me and brushed my hair. “I have a bad feeling about it.”“Like what?”“Jeremy might show up.”Of course, Jeremy would be here. He promised to take care of things with the Davenport pack and then return to me.I hadn’t told Aunt Disa about my secret meeting with Jeremy. I just didn’t think she needed to know. She wouldn’t tell anyone, but her body language could give it away. If she seemed uncomfortable around Elijah, suspicions might arise.But maybe I should tell her now.“When Jeremy gets here, I think it’s the perfect time to tell the truth,” I said.Aunt Disa’s eyes widened in shock. “What? Are y
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 60. Elijah: The Brat Alpha and the King
Why is Delilah acting like that? She was staring out the window, lost in thought, and I knew she was hiding something. I couldn’t be sure if she was hurt by my decision. Delilah’s demeanor was too calm. If she was still upset, her eyes would have shown a trace of resentment when I entered the room. But she didn’t. “Vincent?” I called quietly and knocked on the door. Vincent opened it for me, and after I entered and sat down on the daybed, he closed the door and stood nearby. “Delilah didn’t go to the spa, did she?” I asked. “Why do you ask, my king?” “Just answer me.” Vincent nodded. “She met with Alpha Jeremy of the Davenport pack.” Hearing this irritated me a little. How dare Delilah lie to me? Still, I couldn’t barge into her room and demand that she spill her tea. Yet, part of me was afraid that Delilah would reveal everything to that brat of an Alpha. When I saw the Jeremy boy enter the meeting hall, he boldly met my gaze. No wonder—he’d just met with Delilah. It was no
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 59. Secret Meeting
My mind went blank as I tried to explain to Jeremy, but he had already led me into a quiet alley. His breathing was heavy, and he growled softly, his intense gaze sharp and intimidating.“Why?” he asked again.I could have told him everything, but my tongue felt tied, and my body shook. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do. All I could do was hold back tears, but it was useless; my tears flowed freely.“Please, just let me go. I can’t explain right now,” I said.“Did you leave the pack because of another wolf?”“No!” I said firmly.Jeremy grabbed both my arms. “Whose scent is marking you? I can smell it.”“Stop, Jeremy. You don’t know what’s happening to me!”“Then tell me!” he snapped, frustrated. “Just tell me everything, Delilah! By the moon goddess, I’ve always loved you! I want to see you every day and every night!”My defenses crumbled, and I couldn’t stop myself from sobbing. Jeremy’s tight grip turned into a warm embrace. In his arms, I felt the comforting scent of the ho
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 58. A Familiar Scent
As dinnertime approached, Elijah returned to the room and went straight to the shower before rushing to get dressed. I sat quietly on the edge of the bed, stealing glances at him. Even though he had already rejected me, watching him like this made my heart race uncontrollably."Is there something you want to tell me?" Elijah asked suddenly, looking at me with a slight smirk. "You've been stealing glances for a while now.""I-I..." Why was I stammering?"You must have something on your mind," he added.I cleared my throat quietly. "May I take a short ride outside the estate? Vincent will accompany me."Elijah nodded quickly. "Yes, sure.""Really?""I'll be attending a dinner with the Alphas soon," Elijah said, changing the subject. "Luna Rita might invite you to dinner as well. If you want to go out, just let her know.""Thank you, my king."Elijah hurried out of the room, leaving me alone. My heart raced at the thought of being invited to dinner. I had no idea what I would talk to R
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 57. To Oak Valley
Elijah seemed serious about his plan. A few days later, he took me to Oak Valley, a small town between Pinecrest and Alderwood.I couldn't understand why he insisted that I come with him. Although this matter had nothing to do with me, I refrained from protesting or questioning his motives.We arrived in Oak Valley, a quiet, peaceful town. Surprisingly, most of the stores were closed for lunch, so the streets seemed almost deserted. Unlike Alderwood, where noon was the busiest time in town, this place felt quiet yet eerily still.We soon reached a large estate in the center of town. From the outside, it was clear that the three-story building, with its classical design, radiated wealth. There was a large fountain in the front yard, and a line of maids stood at attention, waiting to greet us."Whose place is this?" I whispered.Elijah leaned in and whispered back, "A powerful Alpha in this town."The maids led us to a spacious living room in the mansion, where an elderly couple stood t
