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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Tracy has already confessed everything, the grave mistake she made,” Jeremy said. “And she admitted that she didn’t act alone. She worked with you and Benson.”Mom just pursed her lips; she looked pale and froze in her seat.“What do you mean, Alpha Jeremy?” Benson’s voice was high. “What mistake are you talking about? We’ve been nothing but loyal to you all this time.”“Let them in,” Jeremy ordered the guards, ignoring Benson’s protests.The doors swung wide open before us, revealing Mom and Benson. My heart clenched, and a wave of pain twisted in my stomach. Because of them, my life had been thrown into chaos. I lost my real mother. I lost so much.Mom and Benson looked like they’d seen a ghost when our eyes met.“Delilah?” Benson gasped. “But how...?”“What’s Delilah doing back here? She’s already disgraced this family! Just like Luke, who failed to raise his daughter properly!” Mom snapped.Aunt Disa pushed through the space between me and Dad. “And what shall we call you? A murd

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 Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 139. The Birthmarks
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
