The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 44. The Royal Hunt
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
The 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
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 46. Focus and Trust
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
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 47. Strange Things Before the Hunt
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 1. The Betrayed Luna
"Isn't she lovely?"Mom looked at me in awe, and I immediately felt shy. I was wearing a long white dress, off the shoulders. Earlier, Mom had said I looked like a moon goddess.Then Mom turned me around and showed me off to my two step-siblings, Benson and Tracy. They both smiled as we exchanged glances."Beautiful," Benson complimented, giving two thumbs up.Tracy quickly slipped her arm through mine. "Come on, don't keep Jeremy waiting."I felt so lucky to have a mother and two step-siblings who cared so much about me. They had been there for me through the hard times and the happy times of the past few years.Dad married Mom four years ago, and my life has been magical ever since. The loneliness I used to feel was gone, with Benson and Tracy always there to support me. Especially now that Jeremy had chosen me to be his Luna. And now, the moment I had been waiting for had finally arrived."You go ahead, Mom will catch up with you at the ceremony," Mom said. She stroked my cheek. "I
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 2. Saved or Captured?
I don't know how long I had been unconscious, but the sky was still dark when I opened my eyes and felt pain all over my body. I could smell blood, though I wasn't sure what part of me was injured. My body lay on broken branches and twigs that had miraculously saved me."Oh... my Goddess," I whispered hoarsely.I didn't dare move, the pain was unbearable. Maybe I had broken bones, I wasn't sure. If I had been a normal human, I would have been dead.Then everything that had happened came rushing back to me and I felt a deep shock. Benson and Tracy—I never thought they would betray me like this. We cared for each other all this time.If they had been cruel to me since our parents got married, I wouldn't be surprised to end up in this terrible condition. But they were so kind, which made their betrayal even more heartbreaking.My body sensed something else. There was a powerful insting, sharp and almost intoxicating. The aura felt strange, exuding strength, passion, sadness, and yet a se

My answer was only tears streaming down my face because I didn't know how to convince Elijah.Elijah brought his face closer, then forcefully lifted my head. His lips locked onto mine, taking my breath away. His kiss was so intense that it scared me to my core. Then he released my lips, almost pushing me away.Elijah licked his lips. "Even your taste isn't like a Luna's. Any Alpha would be attracted to his future mate, would admire her, and she'd have an everlasting scent."Was that true? I'd seen other Lunas; they seemed calm and warm, some even wise and strong.Had all that been taken away from me when Jeremy chose Tracy to be the Luna of our pack? Was I really just an outcast wolf now? Where did I belong?"You're useless to me, Delilah," Elijah said as he stood up.So he was going to end me, just like that? He could just discard anyone who wasn't valuable? How cruel!"It's decided, you're going to be my slave."What did he say? A slave? No, I won't be anyone's slave. I'd rather die
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 4. The William's Pack
Elijah arrived at the boutique right on time, and without saying a word, he took me away. We rode in another car, a black limousine, and I had to sit next to him, feeling very uncomfortable.William's pack lives in another part of Alderwood. Elijah had separated from his family, though his reasons remain a mystery. I didn't dare ask, of course.From his brief explanation, I learned that his full name was Elijah William. He was a descendant of the royal pack, twice my age. I would never have guessed that this 38-year-old man looked at least a decade younger."By the way, how old are you?" Elijah asked.I cleared my throat. "I turned 19 in May.""You didn't shift, yet?""Last year.""Your wolf?"What was going on here? Why was he interrogating me like this? I couldn't calm down at all."I didn't..." I choked out. "My wolf. I don't have it.""That's strange. Maybe it's still hidden somewhere. Or maybe... you're just not worthy of having one."His words tore at me, but I remained silent, c
