The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 40. Elijah: Under the Moonlight
Delilah's smile curled at the corners of her lips, visible from the side of my eye. She appreciated the little things as if they were extraordinary. Even though we were just having dinner.I wondered if I had lost that sense of excitement over time. Even enjoying the breeze blowing through the car window? I've forgotten how to enjoy life.I admit it."My king? Why aren't you eating?" Delilah turned to look at my plate."Not very hungry.""Then why did you bring me here if you didn't want to eat?""I just wanted to take you to dinner. That's all."Delilah didn't answer; she just lowered her head slightly with a gentle smile.Am I being too obvious? Or do I look weak in front of Delilah?I feel as if Delilah's gaze exposes me as if she can see my darkest side. Even when I've broken her, she's always gotten back up again despite the many times I've hurt her.I watched Delilah eat her food with enthusiasm.This is just a simple treat, but she looks so happy. I really made Delilah suffer,

We arrived at the castle after midnight, and the gatekeeper immediately opened the gates. As the car pulled in, several maids stepped out of the main entrance, forming a line as they waited for us to leave.So much for secrecy when we wanted to meet Bishop discreetly. Why do all the maids know we’re coming? It seems ridiculous.“My king, my queen,” the maids greeted us as Elijah and I walked past them.The maids followed us from behind, heading for the left wing of the castle where Bishop quarters were located. That’s where Elena was. We made two turns, passed three small gardens, and finally arrived at the Bishop’s residence.In front of us was a small gate guarded by two wolves. After the small gate, I saw three doors lined up on the left and right sides of the corridor.The guards immediately opened the door on the left.“Elder Bishop has been expecting you, my king and queen. Please come in,” the guard said in a polite tone.The moment we stepped inside, I could smell the scent of

Our lengthy discussion finally ended, but the conclusion remained unclear. What had happened to me had to be investigated through the lineage of the previous pack, the Davenport Pack. I kept quiet, though, because I didn’t want Elijah and Bishop to know that I wasn’t Papa’s biological child. It wasn’t the right time yet, or maybe it was something I didn’t need to reveal.Since it was too late to return to the mansion, we decided to spend the night at the castle. Elijah and I slept in the right wing, which was eerily quiet. No one was around in this area, which is almost twice the size of the mansion.I could hardly sleep, thinking about the possibilities Bishop had laid out. Even though Elijah and Bishop tried to reassure me that I wasn’t necessarily a descendant of the Celestial Moon pack, I was still worried. Bishop had said that what had happened to me was a blessing. Since the Celestial Moon Pack had been cursed in the past and had become a forgotten myth, if I were their desc

“Let go of me!” I hissed angrily.I tried to pull away, but the damn guy twisted my arm behind my back. I let out a groan, but no one dared to help me.“Don’t make a scene. You’re just a lowly creature.” The guy sneered, laughing along with his friends.“Elijah...” I whimpered.“Who’s Elijah?” the guy chuckled quietly. “Your boyfriend?”“Her king.”The voice came from behind the guy, and suddenly, the grip on my arm loosened. I immediately pushed his hand away, and he and his friends groaned and bowed.I stepped back, relieved to see Elijah standing across from me. I was so grateful to see him there.“Lesser wolves,” Elijah growled.Those who had attacked me were now kneeling on the ground, their faces flushed as they clutched their throats in pain. The people around us stared, confused by what seemed to be a strange show.Elijah walked over and pulled me into his arms, his expression filled with concern. “What have they done to you?” he asked.I shook my head. “Let’s go home. Please,

I left my room and jogged lightly down the corridor, intending to go to Aunt Disa’s room. But I was stopped abruptly by Vincent, who suddenly appeared at the intersection.“Queen Delilah.” Vincent offered a thin smile. “Please, no running in the hallway. You’re about to be crowned.”I giggled, embarrassed. “I’m sorry, Vincent. I was in a hurry to see my aunt.”“Oh, could it wait a moment? King Elijah wishes to speak with you in his room.”I nodded quickly. “Yes, sure. I’ll go see King Elijah now.”Vincent walked beside me, and I couldn’t help but notice something different about him. He seemed slightly cheerful, though I couldn’t put my finger on why.The door to Elijah’s room was open, and I could hear voices inside. Vincent knocked on the door, and I stood in the doorway to greet Elijah.“Good afternoon, King Elijah,” I said.Inside, Elijah was with Eugenia. The king stood before a mirror while Eugenia stood behind him, helping him put on a fur coat.“What do you think, Delilah?” El
Last Updated : 2024-11-16The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 45. McKinney Pack Castle
The McKinney Pack residence is well outside town, a quarter of a day's drive. I shared a car with Elijah and Vincent. Our car was part of a convoy with the other royal wolves leaving the castle.Bishop wasn't attending the event, but some of his sons represented his pack. One thing I noticed was that Elena wasn't coming to the hunt. When I arrived at the castle, she was nowhere to be seen."Why isn't Elena with us?" I asked, just to satisfy my curiosity."Elena doesn't have an Alpha, Delilah. She-wolves aren't allowed to join the hunt unless they're Lunas," Elijah explained."So this is like a competition for males to show off their strength and ego?" I teased.Elijah laughed heartily. "I'd rather not answer that. How about Vincent does instead?" he said between laughs."It's not about ego, my queen," Vincent smiled.It's more like a sporting event where the king can judge which pack can be a pillar of the kingdom's defense. That's why each pack competes to be the best, to earn the ki

I had no idea when Elijah came into the room, but by morning, he was beside me. My disappointment from yesterday still lingered because of what Blanche had said, but if I mentioned it to Elijah, it would ruin everything.I decided to shower quickly, get dressed, and lay Elijah’s clothes down before sneaking out of the room. The hallway was already crowded with Alpha wolves. They nodded respectfully as I passed.“Queen Delilah, you’re up early,” Orson, Blanche’s husband, greeted me.“I just wanted to see what the atmosphere was like here.”“How about Blanche joining you, my queen? She’ll be ready in a few minutes.”“Maybe later. I’d rather walk around alone right now.” I flashed a smile and quickly made my exit. “See you soon, Orson.”Half running, I went through the corridor until I reached the castle’s front yard. The maids were busy preparing breakfast for the royal wolves.“Good morning, Queen Delilah,” they greeted me in unison.“Good morning.” I cleared my throat quietly. “I want

I closed my eyes as I heard the Lunas gasp and the Alphas scream. When my eyes opened, Elijah still stood, but the apple had fallen from his head.I noticed Elijah was holding the arrow that had almost hit his eye, broken in two. Damn it! Why didn’t the arrow aim slightly higher and just hit the apple? I put Elijah in danger with my inaccurate shot. I felt the urge to run, but I was shaking so badly I could barely stand.“My king!” the royal alphas rushed over to Elijah.“Are you all right, my king?”Elijah threw the arrow to the ground, looking calm. I froze, once again guilty of a fatal mistake. Surely, Elijah would scold me.Elijah’s footsteps approached, and I panicked even more. Quickly, I bowed deeply to him.“Forgive me...” I choked out.“Good,” Elijah told me. He smiled. “I didn’t expect you to aim your arrow at such a vital spot.”I stood up again, confused. “But you told me to shoot the apple, my king.”“You don’t aim at the apple at a critical moment, Delilah.”The royal

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
