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

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

How does it feel to be a stranger in a familiar place? Awkward.That’s how I’ve felt since I returned to Jeremy’s pack a few days ago. I don’t feel connected to it anymore. I spend most of my time in my room, isolating myself and avoiding conversation with most people except Aunt Disa and Dad.Since my last conversation with Jeremy, he hasn’t come to see me. According to Aunt Disa, Jeremy has been busy meeting with other Alphas, who are probably discussing plans. And whatever they’re talking about, it’s clearly related to Elijah.This only adds to my worries.A knock on my door startles me. I step away from the window and go to open it. It’s Dad. From the look on his face, Jeremy must have come home.“Are you busy, honey?” Dad asks.I shake my head. “I was just looking out the window.”“It’s warm outside, Deli. Don’t you want to go outside and talk to the others?”Again, I shake my head. “No, Dad. And please don’t ask me that again.”Dad is trying to gently nudge me into socializing.

Jeremy smiled faintly instead of answering me directly, which made me frown in confusion. “What is it, Jeremy?”“I want to ask you out. There’s a fair nearby, and I thought you might like to go.”“A fair?” I echoed, momentarily taken aback.Instinctively, I glanced at Dad, unsure of how to respond. But Dad gave no clear signal, instead looking pleased with Jeremy’s offer. “Yes, what do you think? If you’re up for it, I’ll get ready in thirty minutes,” Jeremy said, his tone sweet and patient, as if my earlier words hadn’t offended him.If I refused, I knew it would only deepen his disappointment. I nodded. “Okay, I’ll get ready.”“Great.” Jeremy smiled again. “I’ll meet you out front.”After Jeremy and Dad left the room, I exhaled heavily. Honestly, I wasn’t in the mood to go anywhere, but I couldn’t help it. Besides, how long could I live like this?That would be the question everyone in the pack would ask sooner or later. I had to adapt and settle back in, even if the memories of El

I hesitated to continue the conversation with Jeremy because he seemed unconvinced—my words must have sounded ridiculous to him. So I cut it short and turned away, but Jeremy quickly grabbed my arm.“Hey, Deli, don’t walk away like that,” Jeremy said.“You don’t believe me? Fine! I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”“Of course not, because I haven’t experienced it myself.” Jeremy sighed. “But if it’s about you, shouldn’t we at least discuss it?”“What is there to discuss?”“To avoid any danger or curse that might befall you.”I was silent for a moment, not sure how to answer. I had never discussed this with Elijah before. Would he react the same way if I told him about the card?“Deli?” Jeremy waved his hand in my face. “Are you ok?”“Forget it, Jeremy. We came here to have fun, but I already ruined it.”“If you’re uncomfortable, let’s just leave and go home.”Honestly, I’d already lost interest since I arrived. If I forced myself to stay and wander the fair, I’d only worsen things

"You asked a she-wolf to protect you? Shame on you," I paused, sneering, "Alpha Jeremy." Jeremy gritted his teeth and stepped forward, but the wolves guarding the arrogant Alpha blocked his path. They should've let Jeremy face or surrounded me—it didn't matter. My only priority was to get Delilah back. I didn't care if my body was crushed in the process as long as she stayed by my side. "King Elijah, please." Vincent looked at me, his whispered words distracting my attention. "We don't want to make things worse. We entered their territory without permission." "So?" "What we want is for Queen Delilah to return safely. Let's not make things worse." I had brought my best guards with me, not to hold back. They were ready to fight to the last drop of blood if necessary. Vincent's approach was too diplomatic. "I want Delilah back in my hands," I growled, frustrated. "Patience, my king. We don't want any unintended consequences. For now, please leave this to me." Vincent st

"I promise, Delilah."Elijah's firm words were all I needed. I turned to Jeremy and nodded."I have to go now," I whispered."Deli, don't do it!" Jeremy insisted.I moved forward, but Jeremy grabbed my arm. This wasn't what I wanted—if Elijah and Jeremy clashed again, everything would be ruined. If anything happened to Jeremy, it would lead to a full-blown war. The enemies of the royal pack, eager to overthrow Elijah, would take advantage of the chaos to claim the throne."I can't be with you, Jeremy," I whispered."Why do you have to follow his orders, Deli? I'll protect you. You don't have to be afraid.""I have to get back to Elijah." I looked into Jeremy's eyes. "Please understand my decision. It's what's best for all of us."Jeremy's expression hardened even as his grip loosened. His eyes reflected a mixture of sadness, disappointment, and anger. I knew my decision had hurt Jeremy's pride and his heart.But I couldn't leave Eli

The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 111. Midnight Siege
Right at midnight, I heard the faint sound of a wolf howling. Whether it was a sign from Bishop or Michael, I didn't know, but it immediately put me on high alert as I rushed to the cell door. There was no sign of anything, not even footsteps echoing down the narrow corridor. Just silence. Suddenly, more howling erupted, sending shivers down my spine. An attack—that's what I gathered from their warning cries. But why? Why would Michael and Bishop go to such lengths to stage an attack just to get me out of here? A faint smell of smoke reached my nose, followed by distant sounds of chaos that grew louder. What the hell was going on? I heard hurried footsteps entering the cell block, and then I saw Michael panting heavily. "This was your plan? To cause a riot?" I asked. Michael's face was as pale as the moon, and he shook his head frantically. "There's an attack by rogue wolves! They're attacking the palace!" he shouted. My eyes widened. "Rogue wolves

"Yes, I did," Elena replied bluntly.I stood up, and anger immediately surged through me. "Are you too much of a coward to admit what you did, Beta Elena? That you had to blame me?"I should've brought a recorder so everyone would know that Elena was the one who poisoned Catherine. I was the only one hearing her confession, and it all felt pointless.My teeth clenched, and my hands balled into fists. If we weren't in this cell, I would have beaten her to a pulp. I never feared Elena, even though she was Elijah's sister."I could admit everything, but I'm not the one who needs to leave this place, Delilah. You're the one who needs to get out of this palace." Elena crossed her arms."You hate me that much?""I don't care about you. I care about my brother's position. Do you understand?"Elijah's position? What did she mean? Bishop once said that Elena always had her own agend
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 109. Prisoner
The guards took me out of the cell a few hours later. I didn't know precisely how long it had been, but the sky was dark when I looked out the window on the way to the hall. All the royal alphas, along with Wanda and Bishop, were already gathered there. I was ordered to kneel before the empty throne, my head bowed low.The doors to the hall opened again, and I caught Elijah's scent. A shiver ran down my spine as he passed me. I could feel his anger, though I couldn't tell who it was directed at. Elijah took a seat on the throne and stared at me intently."You poisoned Queen Catherine, I've heard. Delilah, how many more times are you going to cause trouble?" Elijah asked.I swallowed hard and shook my head. "Even if I protest my innocence, the accusation will stick to me. So, my king, I've accepted whatever sentence you decide."Wanda cleared her throat. "Just have her beheaded, father."What? Beheaded? If I were really to die, she and Catherine would be the first to come after me. An

Dinner was ordered, and I, along with the other maids, promptly went to the dining room and set the dishes on the table. As we left the room, Elena walked past us, entering first, followed by Catherine and the Lunas on their way to the dining area.We maids lined up neatly to let them pass. The Lunas looked at me with disdain; they knew who I was, the fraud.How long will that label stick to me? If they knew the truth, these Lunas would bow down to me."Or maybe they'd try to eliminate you," Lona muttered. "You're a descendant of a pack that was destroyed. More like wiped out on purpose."I ignored Lona's words and followed the other maids back to the kitchen. Once there, I quickly searched for my bag and was relieved to find it still there. There was no way it could have been lost or stolen. I decided to leave it where it was."Hey, what's your name?" one of the maids called out."Delilah.""Come join us in the kitchen. We need a break, too," she invited warmly.I sat awkwardly in a
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 107. Dangerous Loyalties
The air duct seemed endless, narrow, and stifling. Sweat poured down my body, but curiosity overcame fear and exhaustion. I saw a speck of bright light ahead—it must be the end. I pushed open the air duct cover and crawled out.I found myself surrounded by a wood. This must be outside the palace walls. There was no visible path, but I noticed a patch of grass shorter than the rest. It looked trampled, probably the intruder's trail."Stop! We must return to the palace, or you'll be in trouble!" Lona warned."But this is my way out, isn't it? If I'm going to escape, now is the perfect time.""Don't be ridiculous! We don't know what lurks in these woods! Don't be reckless!"I took a deep breath. "Okay, okay..."There was no way I could wander through the woods like this, even in daylight. But at least I'd found the way of the intruders. No wonder they escaped so easily. Who would have thought there was a secret passage in the laundry room?I climbed back into the air duct and returned to

"Camden, Arlington, Fergus, and Orson."Michael said the names without hesitation. Regardless of whether his suspicions turned out to be true, he couldn't afford to voice them recklessly. He could lose his head for it if he accused someone without proof.And that was the problem—evidence. What kind of evidence did Michael have?The royal wolves had immense power. They could twist the truth to their advantage, and a young wolf like Michael could be easily disposed of."Do you have solid proof to accuse them?" I asked."Not yet. But I've pieced things together from the last decade's events." Michael rubbed his chin. "I do my homework, Deli."Did Michael seriously say that? I don't understand why he should bother thinking about the traitor. Was Bishop's discussing this with his youngest son? Until Michael was obsessed with it?"You're playing detective because your life is boring. Before you start making accusations, you should have something solid.""I will. It's just a matter of time."
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 105. Seeking Advice
The following day, at dawn, I carried a basket of laundry from the Queen's chamber to the outer part of the palace.I passed through the gates that led to the Bishop's chamber and his family's residence and headed for the garden. His chamber faced the garden, and I tried to remember which window belonged to Michael's room."Which one is his room?" I murmured, scanning the row of windows."Try the one that's open," Lona suggested. "You could climb in.""Good idea.""In case you get caught and beheaded, maybe I should say farewell now," she added sarcastically."That won't happen."I set the basket down near the bushes and climbed up the ledge. It wasn't too tricky; I could do it.After a few minutes, I reached the open window and inhaled a familiar scent. Michael!I slipped inside and found Michael fast asleep on his bed. I hurried over to him."Michael," I whispered, shaking his shoulder.His eyes fluttered open, and our eyes locked for a moment before he jerked awake."Shit! What are
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 104. Catherine's Threat
Returning to the maids' quarters and celebrating this small victory felt satisfying. As I left the hall, I caught sight of Catherine's sour expression, and it felt so good to see her utterly defeated."You're asking for trouble," Nana said worriedly. "Queen Catherine could come after you, Delilah.""I only did what I had to do," I replied."You shouldn't have defended Gema."Of course, hearing Nana's words, Gema and Cassie immediately fell silent. Especially Gema, whose face turned red with suppressed anger."You're the one who caused the trouble, so you should take responsibility for it!" Nana accused. "Queen Catherine will be watching all of us now, and it's all because of you!""I had already accepted my fate when Queen Catherine ordered me to lie, Nana!" Gema snapped. "But Delilah stood up for me! Now I know who my true friends are and who aren't!""I'm not against you! But your actions have put us all in danger!"The tension between them escalated, and I quickly stepped between t
The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me 103. Swear It
I awoke with a dull ache all over my body, yet it felt strangely satisfying. My sleep had been deep, dreamless, and restful.And now I was fully aware I was in the King's chamber. Then, the memory of me trying to seduce Michael, only to end up with Elijah, hit me like a thunderbolt. Had I lost my mind?"Welcome home," Lona's voice echoed in my head. "You're finally awake.""What happened?""It seems Catherine tried to slip a stimulant into Elijah's tea. Next time, just throw it out. You never know—it could be poison.""That was an accident, Lona. I never meant to drink it myself if it hadn't stopped Cassie."I let out a small sigh and touched the empty spot beside me on the bed. Cold. Elijah was gone.Heat rushed to my face as flashes of last night came flooding back. Even though my consciousness had been hazy, I could still remember everything. Our bonding had been intense—pleasurable, even. I couldn't say it was beautiful, not under the influence of that cursed potion.But it had fe
