The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 31. The Tea Invitation
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
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 32. Hidden Investigation
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
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 33. Aunt Disa's Arrival
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
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 34. The Wrath
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
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 35. Wrath and Desire
“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 36. Hidden Legacy
“Good morning, Auntie!” I greeted cheerfully.Aunt Disa, who was in her room, turned around and gave me a warm smile. I quickly stepped inside and closed the door behind me.“You weren’t in your room last night,” Aunt Disa said bluntly.I felt embarrassed and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “Yeah, about that...” I cleared my throat awkwardly. “I was with King Elijah.”Aunt Disa didn’t say anything; she just made a slight ‘oh’ face before picking up her cup from the coffee table and taking a small sip.“Did King Elijah tell you about being my tutor?” I asked, trying to change the subject.“Actually, no. But King Elijah met with me this morning before he left with Beta Vincent.”Yes, I had overslept because I couldn’t stop making out with the king most of the night. My face immediately heated up. The memories of what we did were still vivid in my mind. It felt like Elijah’s touch was still on me.“What did he say to you, Auntie?” I asked curiously.“He asked me to join his pack.
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 37. Forsaken Desires
"Vincent?"I call to the Beta as I knock on his room door. I hope Vincent is still in his room because Elijah seems to be sleeping. This is my chance to talk to the King's right-hand man.It doesn't take long before the door opens, and Vincent appears, freshly dressed and looking great. He gives me a respectful nod."Queen Delilah, good morning," he greets me. "What brings you here? This is not a place you're supposed to visit."According to the kingdom's rules, it's improper for someone of higher status to seek out those of lower status unless it's to confront or capture them. This is an outdated, unclear rule.I gently clear my throat. "I need to talk to you, and it's important.""Shall we talk on the back patio of the villa, my queen?" Vincent suggests.I nod in agreement and wait for Vincent to leave his room. We walk side by side to the back terrace. The morning air feels refreshing as I step outside and take a deep breath.I sit down while Vincent stands a few steps away from me
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 38. Is It Wise to Runaway?
I rested my chin on the table and watched Aunt Disa and the maids in the kitchen, cooking and laughing together. They looked so happy and peaceful; I wished I could feel the same way. Just like back in the Davenport pack, everything felt comfortable and carefree.But I wasn't fortunate enough to enjoy that kind of simple life.My mind was in complete chaos, replaying the past few days' events. I couldn't even bring myself to talk to Vincent because of my guilt. Let alone face Elijah; I was too scared to even catch a glimpse of him from a distance. I avoided him altogether.My eyes met Aunt Disa's across the room."Deli? What's wrong?" Aunt Disa noticed my somber expression.I tried to hide it, but it seemed impossible since I'm a terrible liar.I shook my head quickly. "Nothing."Aunt Disa returned the salad spoon to the bowl and wiped her hands. She walked over and sat down next to me."You wouldn't look like this if it was nothing," she said. "Come on, tell me. Don't keep your feel
