HAYLEE

~<>~

I felt terrible.

I have seen people look at me with accusations in their eyes. Even Benita did when she first asked me about Jose, and I didn’t let that ruin my mood because I believed she didn’t know any better. However, seeing the same accusatory look that I have seen in my dad’s eyes countless times, even when I did nothing wrong, in Alpha King Xalen’s eyes broke my heart.

Even a fool would know that he was comparing me to his late mate once again. He promised to never do that again, but here we are.

Last night, I read letters with him, but tonight, I had become a suspect.

He might even think I dropped the letters where he found them. That would make perfect sense to him just because I went to Jose’s room. Oh, I hated this mess.

“He is still here. Hiding under the covers won’t send him away, Haylee,” Liya said to me, sounding calm when I expected that she would be angry with me.

I snapped through the mental link between my wolf and me, “He can stand there till morning fo

don't feel Guilty towards him. He crossed that line when he had sex with Allison, the woman who's making your life hell.

Since it’s glitching can someone please tell me if her and Benita made up?

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I didn’t expect to hear that Jose, or should I call him Leo, was Haylee's childhood friend and best friend until recently. From the way she spoke about him, her affectionate tone, and the pain in her eyes, I could tell that Haylee was sad about how she and Jose left things.“You lost your friend because of me, huh?” I stated, squeezing her hand. Haylee shook her head. “Not really. I think he hates me because I couldn’t reciprocate the feelings he had for me. Maybe that’s why he became a womanizer—” “Whoa. What feelings are we talking about?” I cut in with a query that had Haylee’s eyes cutting into mine. She hesitated but still answered, “He claimed to be in love with me, and from what Kaylee said, his feelings for me were one of the reasons he rejected her.” “I don’t like the sound of that,” I stated bluntly, hating the idea of Jose harboring feelings for Haylee. Theo seethed within me, “I should have killed him when I had the chance. Now I can’t rip his he

    HAYLEE~~I guess it could still be a perfect night after one or two confrontations. The feel of Alpha King Xalen’s lips on mine woke the horny she-wolf within me. It was as if she knew I couldn’t do it alone, so she came out to play. She matched Alpha King Xalen’s energy, took everything he gave, and gave it back to him. She moaned into the kiss repeatedly, making me feel like I was floating. She had never been kissed like this before. She had never felt so much emotion within her body. She was me. I was the horny she-wolf who couldn’t get enough of her mate. I didn’t know what exactly the kiss was doing to me, but I knew I didn’t want the feeling that came with it to end because it felt so good. Without hesitating, I wiped my memory of the kiss Jose and I shared and the one with Alpha King Xalen that I could barely remember and counted this one as my first kiss. I had never imagined that my first kiss would be this perfect.It was perfect enough to get a protesting whimper ou

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Waking up in Sophia’s bed wasn't exactly what I needed to get my mind off the memorable and passionate moment Haylee and I shared last night. Although I still yearn to have more of Haylee, I was able to release some tension by sleeping in my daughter's bed.It was like opening the dam of desire a little so I could think straight because I needed to stay focused right now. I had a couple of missions to accomplish. I had to find out who Laura was working for and who she was sleeping with. I had to figure out if I could trust Roy. I also had to have a talk with Jose, who I still believed could be of help, whether the hard way or the easier one.Not to forget that I had to find evidence to back up my claim when I said that Alpha Richard killed Laura and tried to wipe out my family years ago.But before doing any of that, I needed to make sure I was on the same page with my daughter. I had been in her bed all night, and she was currently sleeping on my chest, but I be

    HAYLEE~~I almost didn’t want to get out of bed that morning. Who would want that when they could stay in bed and dream about the smoking hot man who filled my soul with feelings I didn’t know I had the ability to release? I most likely would have stayed in bed if Liya hadn’t said to me, “What’s good is staying in bed and dreaming about him when you can just walk down the hallway and see the real thing?” That got me out of bed, and I quickly freshened up, but not even the warm water from the shower washed the smile off my face. I thought I would have to get through my morning routine before I got to see Xalen, but to my surprise, I found him in Jodie’s nursery with Sophia and Asher. And they all looked squeaky clean. “Haylee!” Asher clapped with excitement as soon as I stepped into Jodie’s nursery. Before I could respond or even take a closer look at every one of them, both Sophia and Asher ran to hug me. I dropped to my knees so I could hold them better and whisper to them, “Y

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~I thought I was supposed to pick up his broken pieces and glue them back together. But why the fuck is he grinning? Why the fuck is he looking like he has got his whole life in order?And why would he even think of taking the slave out? What's with him and the slave, for goddess sake! Never have I felt the need to be jealous of an ugly-ass, plank-looking slave. She looked deprived of everything, including beauty. The sight of her makes me want to throw her off a bridge, especially when I see her in an expensive outfit that I know she didn't have enough money to buy. “He bought that for her?” Nala growled within me. I didn't realize I cared more than I should, even when jealousy oozed out of me in waves. “He wouldn't buy her clothes, would he? Why would he do that?” Nala asked me questions I couldn't answer.But I was ready to pour out all the anger ripping through me. In the past, I would have thrown a tantrum just because I needed to do that to achieve

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~“Oh, that feels good.”I moaned into Jose’s neck as he slipped out of me. I loved how he made me feel each time he slipped into me, but I was sure as hell that there were no strings attached.He was just the man who answered my booty call in this pack. I would have loved to have more than one like I used to back home, but I wouldn’t want a repeat of what happened the last time.Jose knew to keep his mouth shut or on me.“It’s always a pleasure with you, Your Majesty,” Jose smirked.He was getting more confident around me, and sometimes I wanted to put him in his place, but that would affect the sex, and I couldn’t let that happen. However, I didn’t let him get too familiar, which was why I always kicked him out of my bed as soon as he got me off like I wanted.“Now that you have gotten what you wanted, can we make the call that matters? Something doesn’t feel right about how the King relates to Haylee. I think it’s high time we get rid of her.” Nala called

    Alpha Prince Roy's POV ~~Ever since the talk I had with Xalen, I have been thinking about the past few years and how I have wasted it hating him. I felt bad but also felt angry at the world for making me experience this hell. My life could have been so much easier if I was rejected. It would have been so much easier if Laura didn’t act nicely to me and make me fall in love with her even though she was with another man—my cousin at that!Now I couldn’t move on. I found out that Xalen wasn’t at fault and, in fact, was a victim of Laura and her mysterious master, yet I couldn’t move past hating him. I couldn’t get over Laura. I should hate her right now, but I couldn’t. I was stuck in a loop, and it didn’t seem like I would be getting out of it anytime soon. Also, I still had a lot to tell Xalen if I was to work with him and shed light on the mysterious that had put our lives in disarray for many years. I have to tell him that I still have Laura’s letters but can’t part with them b

    HAYLEE~~“Goddess knows I want to see Kaylee's face right now,” Liya grunted within my mind, but that wasn't all. She added with the same passion, “I wish they could see us now, here with this beautiful family.” Honestly, I wished I could see Kaylee's face as well. She, our dad, and Alpha Jett believed they sentenced me to death, but look at where I have found myself. I would be lying if I said the journey wasn't hard, but the good thing was that I got here. I was here in a park with Alpha King Xalen and the kids. I was laughing as I went down the slides with Sophia and Asher, my inner child who had been deprived of all of these, came to life, living for the very first time.Maybe I did die, and this was paradise. “Huh. That's far-fetched. It's not paradise until Allison is gone and you get crowned, Haylee. It would be paradise when Kaylee and Dad get to attend your coronation ceremony. It would definitely be heaven when Alpha Jett sees you living the life he could never have gi

    HAYLEE~~“You can’t look at me like that, Nerina. You asked me to be honest with you,” Aradia breathed as if she hadn’t just dropped a bomb into my life.She concealed my power and what I knew was an exceptional beauty. I mean, look at her! If I was destined to look anything like her, then I had been robbed greatly.“Your powers and beauty are manifesting thanks to the bond between you and Alpha King Xalen and also the poison you were being fed by those closest to you, Nerina. You don’t have to worry, and I had to do that—”“You seriously had to make me ugly? Do you even know the kind of abuse I had to endure because of how I looked? I get picked out and picked on every day!” I wasn’t sure if anger was what I felt or if I was blown away by the fact that my mother was so powerful.“I suffered, Aradia, so you do not get to casually drop that like it didn’t cost me everything,” I gritted.Aradia nodded and said, “I know, and I am sorry, Nerina, but it would have been much worse if you

    HAYLEE~~“Good to see me, huh?” The goddess-like woman before me uttered, beaming as her bright green eyes scanned my body.“You don’t even want to know,” I retorted, resisting the urge to throw myself at her.Was it even possible to touch her? I mean, this realm felt real, but that didn’t change the fact that it wasn’t physical.“Are you excited to see me because you genuinely miss me, or is it because you have more questions, Nerina?” She asked me, her smile still very much wide.If I were to be honest, I would say I missed her and also had questions for her, but it didn’t make sense to miss someone whom I knew nothing about. So instead of giving her all the answers, I chose to give her half, like she seemed to have been doing with me.“I have questions, and I haven’t been able to reach you, even though you claim I am in control of these meetings,” I uttered, and I had to watch her bright smile disappear gradually. To ease the awkwardness that was bound to settle around us, I ask

    HAYLEE~~Xalen’s advice helped me survive twenty-four hours without thinking about my failure to connect with my mother. In fact, I slept deeply all through the night, and as much as it still pained me that I couldn’t help my new family find clues, I didn’t let it bother me much.“I shouldn’t be there. I am ashamed of myself,” I heard Roy whisper as I moved down the stairs, ready to attend Uncle Clavin’s burial ceremony.Flavia’s voice hit my eardrums next as she tried to convince him, “You have nothing to be ashamed of, babe. It wasn’t your fault that your dad died, and hating him was logical after what you were made to believe, but not attending his burial, a final farewell, wouldn’t be logical.”“You are right,” Roy sighed to his mate.The heaviness in his chest could be heard in his voice, and once again, my heart tightened because even though I also wanted to help solve this mystery, I couldn’t. There was no way we could move forward without uncovering the mystery behind Uncle

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~“It’s been five days, huh?” I asked Benita after emptying the glass of fresh juice that she gave to me.She nodded, “Yes, Princess Allison. How are you doing? Do you need me to get a healer to check on you?”“There will be no need for that,” I answered with a straight face.Benita helped me rest my back against the headboard of the bed, and she queried, “How about the baby? You didn’t eat or drink for five days and—”“My baby is fine and I am too, Benita.” I snapped, getting irritated because she was acting too nice. We both knew she wasn’t a great person for goddess’ sake. “I don’t need you to pretend to pity me or pity me at all. What I need to know is what has been happening out there for the past five days.”She nodded and began to narrate the events of the past five days. She told me about how Haylee has taken control of the pack, household, and the kitchen. She was now the new woman of the house, and she made good use of the power she held.“What happ

    Princess Allison’s POV (21)~~Time froze days ago. I lost count of the days as I rolled in my bed repeatedly. Truly, time froze until I heard a sharp knock on my door for the first time in what? A million years? I wouldn’t know.But I knew what I heard. Someone knocked, yet I couldn’t leave my bed or part my lips to respond.I was so out of control and pathetic. It killed me to admit this, but it was the truth.“Your Majesty?” The familiar voice of no one else but Benita pierced through my head, sending pain through me as she banged on the door again.Did she say, "Your Majesty?" I was no majesty. Even the biggest of all fools would know that yet Benita didn’t.“I am coming in, Your Majesty,” she announced, and I heard her open my bedroom door like she owned the place. She continued, oblivious to the fact that her voice was causing me pain, “I brought you food and drink. I can help you freshen up—”“Get out.” I found the strength to blurt those two words to one of the people who ru

    HAYLEE~~Xalen didn’t understand me fully, and I didn’t expect him to because even I didn’t understand myself. I haven’t wrapped my head around my mother and my powers, so why should he?However, he had good advice for me, and he whispered it into my ears as his arms tightened around me, “One thing I know about power is that you can control it better when you stop trying to control it. I want to believe you are experiencing a block, Nerina. Relax and let this happen naturally, just like it did the day we made love.”That was advice that I should take seriously, but thinking about the first time Xalen and I made love sucked all seriousness out of me. My lips stretched into an uncontrollable smile, steamy memories filling my mind rapidly.And did he just call me Nerina? My smile widened even more, and I couldn’t be happier.“I am your person, Haylee. I will always be your person, so you can always talk to me about anything.” Xalen continued speaking, kissing my forehead and wrapping

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Running a pack with no elders would be harder, but I have come to realize that running an entire realm without the Elders in seat to handle issues from various packs was so much harder. The pressure increased day by day, and I wasn’t the only one bearing the brunt.Evan and Wyatt were in the same boat.Even though he had been burying himself in the population account documents, Roy was affected.Also, even though I tried to keep Haylee from the pressure, she had volunteered to handle some of the responsibilities.We hardly got to see each other these days, and even though it’s only been five days since I stripped the Elders of their power, it felt like forever.Fortunately, Haylee and I had decided that today would be a work-free day. We slept in, staying in bed even though we had been awake before daybreak. We chatted about the past five days and focused more on how well the people were accepting Haylee as their soon-to-be-crowned queen.“They can sense that you

    Princess Allison’s POV~~My hands shook visibly, yet I dared not let the phone slip. I wouldn’t dare to ignore it because my back was against the wall, and no matter how cruel my dad could be, he was the only one who could help me find my way back to the right path.Or so I thought as I answered the call and put the cell phone to my ear.“What the hell have you been up to, Allison?” My dad couldn’t wait for me to find my voice before he yelled those words at me, slapping me right in the face even though he was still miles away from me.He continued impatiently, “What the hell do you think you are doing? How could you create this kind of mess? How could you humiliate me like this?”I exhaled, breathing through my mouth as I said, “What exactly have I done wrong? As far as I am concerned, you taught me everything I have done so far.”“Seriously?” My dad barked, and it took everything in me not to throw my cell phone against the nearest wall. “Did I teach you to get pregnant? Did I te

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~Goddess! I was boiling with rage.But mostly drowning in the harsh sea of humiliation. That was supposed to happen differently. I shouldn’t be the one getting lashed by Haylee’s words. They felt like whips on my body, and even though I was currently far from her, I could still feel her words burning into my skin.I could feel the people’s gazes piercing through my bones, dissecting me in ways that should never happen.What has happened to me? Fuck! What is happening to me?Never have I suffered so many losses in a row. For the past few days, Haylee had been winning and kicking my ass, and I hated it! I thought everything would go my way after I tried to seduce Alpha King Xalen.I believed I had won, even though he didn’t fuck me hard like I thought.However, every decision I made after that made things worse. Every turn I took led to failure and humiliation.“That should never have happened. She was supposed to collapse before everyone. That damn bitch assu
