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

“My queen,” Vincent called.I turned to face Vincent as I entered the great dining hall. He stood in the doorway, bowed slightly, and then approached me.“I’m so glad you decided to come down for dinner,” Vincent’s voice still carried a hint of concern. “What happened this afternoon? I promise it won’t happen again.”I smiled. “It was my fault, Vincent. I’m sorry; I was careless and caused an unpleasant situation.”“It is a lesson for me and the entire McKinney pack to be more careful, my queen. Thank you for your understanding.”“I’m glad it’s no longer an issue between us, Vincent.”Elijah cleared his throat quietly and shot me a sharp look. I couldn’t help but feel puzzled—what did I do wrong now? I had already apologized to Vincent, as Elijah wanted.Vincent quickly stepped forward to lead us both to our seats. I watched him as he began to instruct the maids on serving the food. Suddenly, Elijah leaned in close, his lips almost brushing against my ear.“Don’t be too familiar with

When I heard the shot, I instinctively covered my head. But the bullet pierced my stomach. I screamed in agony, the pain unbearable! “Arrghh!!” I screamed.The figure hurried away, his cold-blooded attitude apparent after shooting me.I curled up at the bottom of the pit, shaking from the pain. I couldn’t even call for help. I had to shift somehow, but I felt too weak.“Elijah...”Only his name gave me the strength to cling to consciousness, even as the pain threatened to drag me into the darkness. A bullet was lodged in my abdomen, and I pressed my hand against the wound, trying to stop the blood.“Elijah...” I whispered.A long howl echoed, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps approaching. I heard a growl from above the trap, and the great wolf began to transform into his human form.“Delilah?”Elijah’s voice made me burst into tears. “Help me!”Others appeared, looking panicked when they saw me trapped in the pit. Elijah quickly slid down and grabbed the bear trap.“Damn it!

“King Elijah! Wait!”I ignored Vincent’s call as I stormed out of the room. He tried to match my pace, his aura brimming with fear.Vincent took a deep breath. “King Elijah, please hear me out.”“I will not reason with you, Vincent!” I snapped back, my voice steely.“Please, my king. Control your anger. If you act like this, we’ll never catch the real culprit,” Vincent pleaded.“Silence!” I roared.Vincent collapsed to the floor, writhing in pain. I won’t let anyone who tried to harm Delilah go unpunished—I’ll kill every last one of them.I rushed down the corridor and out of the main castle building. The royal wolves had gathered in the courtyard, some standing, others sitting with nervous expressions.The moment they saw me, they felt the fury emanating from my soul. All the royal wolves knelt down, wincing in fear.“Who dares defy me?” I demanded, my eyes scanning the crowd.“Please, my king...”Fergus crawled forward, his face flushed and his hand trembling as he reached out.“For

My body still ached when I woke to find the bedroom empty. Elijah was gone, and I had no idea where he could be. The morning sunlight was dimmer than usual, muted by the gray clouds looming in the sky.I forced myself to sit up on the edge of the bed, wincing as the throbbing pain returned. It wasn’t as intense as last night, but it was still there. Slowly, I got to my feet and reached the door, opening it cautiously.Empty.The hallway was eerily quiet, every door shut tight. It was strange—had everyone left after what happened to me? Were they afraid of the shooting?“Where is everyone?” I whispered to myself.I forced my sore body to move and walked down the hall and the stairs. Soon, I could hear the voices of the royal Lunas on the floor below. I didn’t know what they were doing there, but I had no intention of joining them. Instead, I lingered quietly, curious to hear what they were discussing. Their voices had an undertone of unease.“I never thought it would happen again. Alm

A week had passed, and my wounds had healed entirely.I could return to my activities; I returned to the woods and hills behind the mansion. Once again, though, I avoided Elijah.Ever since the shooting incident, Elijah had barely been at the mansion. He spent most of his time at the castle. I didn't know what he was doing there, but he was probably tracking the guards to solve the problem.I came downstairs, intending to go to the kitchen, but I bumped into Kat in the hallway. She seemed overwhelmed with the bedsheets she was carrying."Queen Delilah," she greeted me cheerfully."Where did you come from, Kat?""I just finished changing the sheets in King Elijah's room, and luckily, just in time." She let out a sigh of relief. "King Elijah will return to the mansion soon, so I had to tidy his room quickly.""He's coming back?"I didn't feel pleased about it. Although I felt a sense of longing, I tried to suppress it. My dark side whispered: Why long for someone who doesn't even ackno

I couldn’t sleep all night thinking about Aunt Disa’s words. I’ve decided to talk to Elijah and apologize to him. I won’t interfere with anything that concerns him anymore. Yes, that’s what I’m going to say.If Elijah doesn’t leave, I will find him during the day. If he’s at the mansion and his mood has improved, I will approach him.Just before dawn, I went to the hills behind the mansion. I was allowed out now, but only as far as the hills. At least there were no more guards following me.The fog thinned as I climbed the path, and the sun would soon rise. I quickened my pace, but my heart sank when I reached the top.Elijah was there, sitting, waiting for the sun to rise. There was no turning back—he had already noticed me standing frozen not far from him.But he didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned his attention back to the horizon.I cautiously approached him, keeping some distance. “Good morning, King Elijah,” I greeted him.“Morning.”I sat down and let out a deep sigh. My ne

"Queen Delilah!"I turned to the door and saw Kat panting and pale."What is it, Kat?""Beta Elena is here, and she wants to see you."Elena? Why is she here? I'd felt relieved ever since she stopped coming to the mansion. And now? Oh, this is so annoying.Kat hurried into the room and closed the door behind her. "Let me do your hair and makeup, my queen."I complied with her request and sat on the stool before the vanity. Kat began straightening my hair swiftly. Suddenly, the memory of seeing Tris in the garage the night before resurfaced."Did King Elijah leave anything in his car last night?" I asked.Kat met my gaze in the mirror and shook her head. "I don't think so, my queen. Why?""It's nothing.""We didn't hear when King Elijah arrived at the mansion. If he needed anything, Vincent would have woken me, Flo, or Tris.""Could Vincent have asked Flo or Tris to do it?"Kat shook her head again. "I'm not sure, my queen. Would you like me to ask them? Flo and Tris usually tell me ev

Catherine's body was carried by the royal alphas, treated with care and reverence despite her father's heinous deeds. Catherine was just a victim of Camden's greed. I watched as Camden's face turned pale at the sight of his only daughter lying lifeless. He howled in agony, mourning her departure.Regret never comes at the beginning.This was Camden's reality.Elijah stood and faced me. I could feel the restlessness in his aura, the uncertainty as our eyes locked."Why, Delilah?" There was disappointment in Elijah's voice. "So it's true? You were purposely raised as a secret weapon by the non-royal wolves?""Wow! Watch your mouth, Elijah," Jeremy scoffed."Stop! Both of you!" I sna

The plan had been carefully laid out, and everyone was already marching to the palace to destroy Wanda. Alderwood was eerily quiet, with no one outside. Even the shops were closed. In the human world, they only knew it as a gang war. Yes, that was the rumor that had been spread. And the police could not do anything about it. They were only guarding the perimeter near the residential areas. "What's going on, my king?" I asked as we passed the closed shops. "I just want to end this war. And repay a debt to someone." My eyebrows almost furrowed. "A debt?" "Yes." Elijah nodded. "If it weren't for him, I might not be with you now." Who was Elijah talking about? One of the royal alphas approached Elijah, interrupting our conversation. "At the last crossroads, we will all regroup and go to the palace together, my king," the Alpha said. "We'll wait for the others if they haven't arriv

Our conversation was interrupted by a knock at the door, and I quickly opened it. Eugenia and Michael stood on the threshold, and I immediately pulled them both into my arms."Eugenia, I'm so happy to see you!"It had been months since I had last seen Eugenia, and guilt was eating at me for not standing up for her when she was kidnapped.Eugenia wiped away tears. "I'm glad to see you too, Deli. I was so afraid something had happened to you.""I'm the one who was worried about you. Especially after you were taken. What happened after that?"Before Eugenia could answer, Elijah approached us and said a quick goodbye."I need to meet with the other alphas. There's something we need to discuss," Elijah said.I nodded. "Okay, my king.""See you at dinner." Elijah gave a small smile.After he left, Eugenia and Michael entered my room, and the three of us sat down to talk.Eugenia told me what had happened to her after she had been taken.

The news that Orson, Fergus, and Arlington had been taken down brought euphoria to the Davenport pack. I was grateful that there were no casualties, and most of the pack members from the three alphas decided to surrender.They had sworn allegiance to Elijah. I felt a tremendous sense of relief."We have already made plans to attack the palace in a few days. The rogue wolves have attempted small attacks several times, but we've been able to handle them," Jeremy reported over the phone."That's great. Thanks for the update, Jeremy.""Hold on, Deli. Elijah wants to talk to you."My excitement grew. Then I heard Elijah's deep, sexy throat clearing."Delilah?" he called.

The Arlington estate lay ahead—not too far, but I could see it was heavily guarded. Riddick stood beside me, glanced over, and nodded politely."In the end, we stand together against a common enemy. You once sought my help, and... here we are," Riddick chuckled softly. "Fate has led us in circles, only to bring us together again.""Thank you, Alpha Riddick. Especially in such a chaotic time, I did not expect you to offer your help.""This is for the good of all of us, King Elijah. Not just the interests of one side," Riddick said, patting me on the shoulder. "Let's get ready."When my palace was attacked, I fought back with everything I had to defend my territory. I had experience in war.But to attack another pack? That was another story.Maybe it was my mother's blood running through my veins, but I wasn't like Edison or Elena. They were raised to be superior royal wolves. Me? I was just a lost cub with Omega blood in my lineage.If I had E

The moment I saw the birthmark on my twins' shoulders, my head felt like it was going to explode. I had studied the kingdom's history from the beginning, and I knew that the Celestial Moon was cursed until their empire collapsed.And it was true—that was the symbol of the Celestial Moon Kingdom!Is this a joke? I denied it, thinking it must be a coincidence.So, in addition to Crescent Moon blood, do I also have Celestial Moon blood flowing through my veins? Why would this happen to my twins?"Deli, the she-wolves won't say a word! There's nothing to worry about. Besides, it's just a birthmark—it doesn't mean anything," Aunt Disa said."Do you really think so, Aunty? Even you can't lie to me. Your face says otherwise; you're worried, too!"Aunt Disa fell silent as if confirming my fears, which made me even more anxious.We were already in the middle of a war, and now this problem had to arise. What should I do?"We'

Upon returning to the Davenport Pack, Elijah immediately joined the other alphas in the back terrace area. A tent and chairs had already been set up for the royal alphas to sleep and have meetings with Jeremy.I was about to head back to my room to check on the twins when Jeremy approached me and stopped me for a moment."Deli, I need to talk to you about Elijah," Jeremy said bluntly.I didn't bring up his earlier statement about being willing to accept me anytime, as if it was a subtle threat to Elijah. Instead, I just nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed while Jeremy sat down on the sofa."What do you say about King Elijah? What about him?" I asked."We still haven't decided whether to tell him about you—about who you really are, Deli. We're afraid the royal wolves might turn on you... or worse, try to eliminate you.""We both know they are not as savage as the rogue wolves. They have honor and keep their promises, Jeremy."

My eyes caught a figure standing on the terrace. Elijah stood tall with his back to me. A bag was slung over his shoulder, and he wore a cap.The guards stood guard over him in a tight formation. As soon as I saw him, I ran toward him."My king?" I called out cautiously.Elijah turned, his gaze meeting mine almost unblinkingly. His face looked fine—no wounds, no signs of harm. The moment our eyes met, he smiled at me."Delilah...""Thank the moon goddess, you're all right, King Elijah.""I'm sorry... I must have worried you, didn't I?"We embraced. Relief washed over me now that I was finally reunited with him. Even though our situation was on the brink of disaster, we were together again. No matter how heavy the burdens ahead, we would face them together.The sound of approaching footsteps made Elijah turn away. He turned to the doorway where Michael and Jeremy stood, and he gave a small nod."Alpha Jeremy," Elijah acknowledged. "I

"I can explain, Jeremy!" I squeaked.Jeremy scoffed and shook his head in disbelief. "You're causing trouble when we're trying to solve a problem!""They came here to help us!"But Jeremy didn't give me a chance to speak. He walked off with the patrol leader while Dad half dragged me inside."Have you thought about Aurora and Albert?" Dad's voice was soft - not judgmental, just concerned.I took a deep breath and looked at Michael. A small sigh escaped his nose as he walked beside me, Michael's head bowed."You're hurt too. What if you were hurt worse and didn't survive?" Dad continued. "Let's treat your wounds first—yours and Michael's, okay?"I just nodded obediently and walked into the living room. As soon as Michael and I sat down, Dad left the room. My eyes focused on Michael."I'm sorry, Michael," I whispered regretfully."It's okay, Deli. Alpha Jeremy has every right to be mad at me. I should have protected you.""But yo
