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

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~The laughter, bubbling, squealing, and giggling didn’t end at the park. It continued in the car and even as we walked back into my palace. Although it was obvious that Asher and Jodie were worn out, they still had the energy to make loud happy noises with Sophia. And as always, Haylee went ahead to join them, fueling their happiness, and I must admit that nothing had ever felt perfect. This right here felt like family. Scratch that! I mean to say, this right here was family. Haylee didn’t fit in. Instead, she was right where she was meant to be. Even though I hadn't told her about my theory about how she was my first mate, I held that in my heart, using it to free my mind of every pain that Laura had caused me. “You shouldn’t think about her right now. We had an awesome day. Don’t let the thought of her ruin it.” Theo cautioned me, wagging his tail in my head like some lovebombed puppy. “Hey! I’m no puppy!” “That’s why I used the word LIKE,” I scoffed, emphas

    HAYLEE~~I tried not to be disappointed when Alpha King Xalen didn’t make it to my room that night. The memories we created together during the day were more than enough to keep my heart fluttering through the night. However, I was quite disappointed when I didn’t get to see in the next morning after performing my morning duties. I wasn’t the only one who was unhappy, though. Sophia was too, because she assumed she would wake up to him just like she did yesterday.Asher didn’t seem to care much. He simply wanted to have breakfast. But Princess Allison, who was even more disappointed than Sophia and I combined, didn’t hide her disappointment when Xalen didn’t show up for breakfast once again. The kids and I didn’t know he wouldn't make it to breakfast, so we made the mistake of going to the dining hall where Princess Allison had been waiting. As soon as I realized that Xalen wasn’t there, I reversed, but I couldn’t make it out of there before Princess Allison could see me. “Where

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“How did this happen?”That has been the question on my mind since last night. It has been echoing in my mind all night, yet I haven't come up with an answer.Wyatt was with me, but even he couldn't help me solve the mystery he broke to me last night. Perhaps I need to go back a few hours.After Wyatt called me out last night, I struggled to detach Sophia from my body, but when I eventually did, I had to rush down to the cell where Wyatt was waiting for me. I found him standing over a still body, and I immediately recognized the palace guard who Allison slept with and framed.Yes, he didn't die.Wait a second. He is dead.But he isn't supposed to be dead.I didn't kill him the other day, even though I made everyone believe that it was his head that was chopped off by the guillotine. The plan was to keep him alive but locked up in a private cell so no one would be able to get to him.The plan was to have him testify against Allison when I finally got other undeniab

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I can confirm that this body and the Queen's body share similarities, and their deaths might be as a result of the same cause,” Flavia said after hours of doing her thing with the guard’s body. The daylight was sneaking into the cell from the windows, illuminating the mess the guard's body had become after whatever Flavia did to him.“Can you be more precise? How are they similar? Can this help me in any way?” I asked, even though Flavia didn't know the entire story.Even Wyatt didn't know the entire story.It was just Roy and Haylee who knew what Laura had done and why I was anxious to get proof to back the claims I would have to present to the elders and the entire realm before it was too late.“My King, just like in the Queen's case, the body is clean of everything that could kill a werewolf. There's no poison, no sign of silver, and definitely no sign of struggle. It looks like a natural death, but even a natural death usually has causes most times. However,

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“Roy LeRoy!” Uncle Calvin shouted at Roy.That was strange because every time Roy was mentioned in his absence, Uncle Calvin showed nothing but happiness. He was always happy to see Roy, as far as I knew, so what was going on with them?“You aren't going anywhere until you tell me what I need to know, Dad,” Roy seethed angrily.I was standing outside their entrance door. I was about to knock when I heard the noise and perceived the unnaturally thick tension between my uncle and his son. Since I had never seen them argue, my interest spiked immediately, and I hid my scent to conceal my presence as I listened to their argument.“This is wrong,” Theo said to me, yet he helped me heighten my senses so I could hear the duo clearly from where I was standing.“I have told you why I had to send you away and lie that Xalen wanted you gone, Roy. What more do you want? An apology? Or would you like me to turn back the hands of time so you can stay here and fight with your co

    ALPHA PRINCE ROY’S POV ~~“Tell me everything you did, Calvin, or you won’t live to see the next hour.”Xalen’s anger pierced through my soul as he snarled at my dad, whose fear was evident in his eyes. Not to digress, but never has he looked at me like that. I am no king after all. He has been acting nonchalant since this argument began, and not that I planned for Xalen to overhear us, but I was glad he did. At least now I would get answers out of the man who called himself my father. “Xalen–” My dad struggled to pull himself together. But Xalen barked at him, “Don’t even dare use my name, Calvin. Just answer the same question. You know better than to lie to me, right?”“You don’t understand–” My dad tried again. But yet again, Xalen cut him off, “Do I have to force the truth out of you? You of all people should know what I am capable of.”It was as if I was no longer in the room. It was as if it was just Xalen and my dad, just like in the past. But unlike those days when the

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~With every second that ticked by, the flame of fury burned hotter within me.With every word that came out of the mouth of the man that I have looked up to for many years. The man who has made me resist the urge to go to war. The man who raised me and taught me the principles that my dad abided by when he was King. With every word that came out of this man’s mouth, I questioned every message we had shared. I questioned the feeling I had for him. I might not show it much, but I actually respected Uncle Calvin. Heck! I adored him. He became my parent after I lost my biological ones. Scratch that! He became my parent after he killed my biological ones. He wanted me dead as a matter of fact. He wanted me dead so he could have the throne. As if he hadn't done enough damage to me, he disrupted my mate's bond, tricked me, stabbed me in the back repeatedly, and even now, he wasn't remorseful. Yet I didn't make a move to rip his tongue out of his fucking mouth. I nee

    HAYLEE~~It was instant, sudden, and soul-crushing. It was consuming and extremely painful. It was the kind of pain that I had never experienced in my life.Coming from me, a young woman who has experienced pain since she was born? Coming from me, who had to endure every kind of pain ever known to my kind?However, all the pain I have experienced in my life, combined, doesn't sum up to what seized my body in an instant, throwing me into the very source of agony.“Ah!” I cried out sharply before I could stop myself.Sophia, who was in my bedroom with me, looked at me with concern. It pained me to see her face knit with worry, but I couldn't help it. In fact, it felt like the devil himself had decided to pour his entire lake of fire into me.My sweat glands became hyperactive just as suddenly as the pain. I couldn't breathe properly. Heck! I couldn't seem to think properly.“Haylee,” Sophia called out to me, but I couldn't respond.I couldn't use my tongue to speak, but I could scream

    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?

    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

    HAYLEE~~Amidst the chaos that erupted in the hall after Xalen’s announcement, Allison’s explosion was the loudest.“That can’t be. She has bewitched the King!” she exclaimed. “I am to be the next queen. I am to be his mate because I carry his child in my womb.”Allison’s exclamation didn’t fail to get reactions from the pack members who had gathered in the hall for this meeting. Once again, she was a snake, and I believed she saw Xalen’s announcement coming and was fully prepared to oppose him publicly.From where I was standing, I could hear people murmuring, “She is pregnant?”“He can’t tarnish her honor like that, even though he is the king.”“He has to marry her and make her queen.”“But the other woman is his true mate. We need a true mate to become the Queen so we can have peace in the realm.” It was only a few murmurs that were in support of me, but I didn’t let that break me.In fact, I heard someone question, “How can we be sure she is his true mate? Wasn’t Queen Laura hi

    HAYLEE~~One minute I was thinking about going to Gladys for help and more training that could help me reach my supposed mother, but the next minute, Xalen and Roy returned home, and we all began to prepare for the general pack meeting in the throne room.When I asked Xalen what the meeting was about, he answered before kissing me chastely, “You will see, Hay.”He also made me wear the prettiest dress that I owned before he left to get a few documents in his home office. I left his bedroom and joined Flavia and the kids downstairs, waiting for Roy and Xalen to join us.However, Allison showed up before both men, and she grumbled, “Prepare to be shoved right back to where you belong, slave.”While Flavia growled at her and stepped forward to show Allison that she wouldn’t hesitate to smack her, I ignored her completely because she was the least of my problems right now. Although I had been trying to explain the power Allison somehow possessed, I didn’t let her words get to me.“She i

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~It wasn't surprising when Gladys confirmed that, truly, Uncle Calvin's death happened over two months ago, and neither was I stunned when she announced that he was poisoned with loads of poisonous silver.“Whoever fake Calvin was, he helped us figure out a lot even though he was trying to do the opposite,” Theo told me as Roy and I walked towards my pack office, where I planned to meet with Evan and Wyatt.I couldn't disagree because Theo was completely right.Thanks to fake Calvin, I discovered that Laura and I had a fake bond, made up with Roy, and found my way to Haylee without having to feel guilty.Thanks to fake Calvin, I understand that I had to be careful because even though I had lost so much, I still had so much more to lose.“It's unbelievable, My King,” Wyatt breathed after we all settled down in my Pack office. “The healers explained the result of the examination to us, but I can’t believe such a thing happened, and we didn’t know until now.”Evan no

    HAYLEE~~“She didn’t show up.”My wolf, who heard every thought that crossed my mind throughout the night, said this as soon as my eyes fluttered open for the hundredth time that morning.I had been slipping in and out of consciousness all through the night, hoping and longing to be sucked into the realm that allowed me to communicate with a woman I knew nothing about but who had proven to be valuable after Elder Calvin was found where she said he would be, even though she didn’t mention that he was dead.A realm where I could be Nerina.But even though I tried, I didn’t get to meet with my supposed mother.“Or I failed to connect with her.” I sighed, pushing myself off Xalen’s bed, which we both fell into last night after we hit a dead end with the red wolf theory, but he wasn’t here at the moment. “I remember she said something about how I brought her to that realm the last time we were there.”“That’s accurate, and the two times you were able to reach her, you and Xalen connecte

    Princess Allison’s POV~~It’s been a crazy, humiliating day for me.I still hadn’t gotten over the marks Haylee and Alpha King Xalen had given themselves overnight, yet I was getting accused of murder. Not that I cared that Elder Calvin was dead, but it kinda worried me to think he was gone.I mean, wasn’t he the same man I had been talking to over the phone? I thought he had been helping me, or should I say I had been led to believe he was the mystery ally I thought could help me.After the news of what he did spread, I simply assumed he was working with my dad, and while that would be a conflict of interest, I believed my dad had found a way to tie Elder Calvin down just like he did to the red wolf in our basement.“We have to reach out to him, Allie. I know you are terrified, but now that Elder Calvin is dead, you need to know what’s going on,” Nala said, urging me to drop my fears and call my dad.My dad had tried to reach me this morning. In fact, I missed several calls from h
